Problem: ======== After upgrading to madwifi-driver-0.1401.20060117 and the appropriate version of madwifi-tools I cannot initialize my wlan-device anymore (neither via the init-script nor manually). On bootup, I get the following informations: * Starting ath0 * Configuring wireless network for ath0 <pause ~15 seconds> * Failed to configure wireless for ath0 The wireless LED on my thinkpad remains dark. After login, ifconfig shows only lo being configured. However, ifconfig -a shows ath0 (the atheros-device), eth0 (internal nic), eth1 (firewire-nic), lo and wifi0. iwconfig shows ath0 being configured: Essid correct, key off (should be on), Link-Quality 0/94, AP set to 00.00.00.00.00.00 Trying with "wlanconfig ath0 list .." works, for example ".. list ap" shows my local ap. Calling "ifconfig ath0 192.168.115.106 up" (I don't have a DHCP-Server) works, after calling that, ath0 and wifi0 show up in "ifconfig" as configured devices. However, the Wireless-LED remains dark and I cannot ping anthing except lo and ath0 locally. Pinging another box in my LAN results in 100% packet-loss. The default route is configured correctly. Wireless extensions work via Win2k on my Thinkpad (yes, shame on my, I know ;) ) and the internal wired-NIC works, too. /etc/conf.d/net is set as follows: ifconfig_ath0=( "192.168.115.106 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) routes_ath0=( "default gw 192.168.115.1" ) essid_ath0=( "homenet" ) key_ath0=( "supersekrit" ) Versions: ========= baselayout-1.12.20.0_pre15-r1 // upgraded from stable after problem occured udev-081-r1 // also upgraded madwifi-driver-0.1401.20060117 madwifi-tools-0.1401-20060117 kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r5

Gah, sorry -- forgot to reopen
Please retest with net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1420.20060201.
That helped, little-benni is back online. Ok, Uberlord - now this one's for you now: The card is working now, but the init-script doesn't set the key successfully (works when set manually). I read your forums-post and upgraded to baselayout 1.12.0_pre15-r1. Probably some parser-changes for /etc/conf.d/net? I tried various formats for the key: the classical cleartext-entry and also the hex-entry (with dashes [i.e. AAAA-BBBB-CC} and without dashes [AAAABBBBCC])
Reassigning to Royb since manual configuration of wireless parameters works.

If you could give me some info where to place debug-output in the script, I could do a further examination.

Could you add an ifconfig "${iface}" after the iwconfig "${iface}" line the patch added to check the interface is marked as up? Thanks.

Is your AP hiding or broadcasting its SSID? BTW, I just cannot replicate this on my atheros card :/
(In reply to comment #15) > Is your AP hiding or broadcasting its SSID? It's set to broadcast it > BTW, I just cannot replicate this on my atheros card :/ Well, I also was very suprised when it stopped working. But hey - I am used to be looked at like an Alien-User when reporting bugs ;) -- "Looking for the strangest bugs in Gentoo? Call 555-BEE-JAY" (yes, sometimes it really seems to be like that...)

pre16 is out. Could you test that please? Also, could you test baselayout-1.11.14-r5 or tell me if any baselayout versions actually worked for you?
(In reply to comment #21) > pre16 is out. Could you test that please? > > Also, could you test baselayout-1.11.14-r5 or tell me if any baselayout > versions actually worked for you? > The previous stable (x86) version of baselayout worked for me. The problem however didn't come up after I upgraded baselayout. It all started with an upgrade of madwifi-driver. Well, I also have some good news which somehow push the problem under baselayouts carpet: I did some experiments with iwconfig_$iface in /etc/conf.d/wireless in the last hour and I found out something interesting: This config doesn't work: essid_ath0 = ("homenet") key_homenet = ("AAAABBBBCC") routes_hausnetz=("default via 192.168.115.1") This also doesn't work: routes_hausnetz=("default via 192.168.115.1") iwconfig_ath0=("key AAAABBBBCC essid hausnetz") This config WORKS (please note the additional key_$iface statement): key_hausnetz=("AAAABBBBCC") routes_hausnetz=("default via 192.168.115.1") iwconfig_ath0=("key AAAABBBBCC essid hausnetz")
With a working config, the act of removing the iwconfig_ath0 line causes it not to work? If so, could you email me your exact configs (working and non-working) please? I think it maybe an issue with the keys themselves.

Closing this as WORKSFORME as with beejays exact settings it works for me using madwifi.
