Mike, do you have any news for me? I'm not sure whether he has a better idea in mind, but could you try the cfg80211 driver instead of wext? Momentarily I see mentions of 'default' and 'WEXT' so I think it is not using cfg80211 at the moment. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/nl80211 Congratulation! )) Problem solved! But partial. I change in /etc/conf.d/net parameter for launch wpa_supplicant. I change type of driver from -Dcfg80211 to -Dnl80211. And up wireless network. Network interface have IP address and ping google.com successful. But iwconfig report for this interface "no wireless extensions" iwlist wlan2 scan say "interface doesn't support scanning" Whose problem is it?

Yes, indeed the driver is named nl80211 instead of cfg80211; good find. > But > iwconfig report for this interface "no wireless extensions" > iwlist wlan2 scan say "interface doesn't support scanning" > > Whose problem is it? Does using net-wireless/iw (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw) instead work? Same story as above. :) Thank you, Tom, for your advice! I try this command: iw dev wlan2 scan iw dev wlan2 link iw dev wlan2 station dump iw dev wlan2 get power_save Work fine. Sounds good; marking this bug OBSOLETE as the bug is regarding the older wext and net-wireless/wireless-tools, I'm not sure whether this is worth fixing or possible to reasonably fix it for those. People can use nl80211 and net-wireless/iw; if not, I expect them to let us know... :) |
