problems with madwifi atheros 5k, slackbuild

**ppires7** · 05-30-2010

Well guys, I recently installed Slackware 13.1. I had a few problems trying to config my atheros wifi. I used the method suggested in SlackBuild, everything pretty to the end. Well... I mean, right before the end. After building and then using installpkg with the output package in /tmp, it installed with no error logs. The problem is whenever I try to use:

#wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 -D madwifi

it returns like:

unsupported driver "madwifi"

and no magic happening. When I use -D wext, it succeeds in connecting, but there is no information being transferred - can't enter websites or anything. So I don't know where is my mistake. Need help

Thanks folks.

Hello and Welcome.
I think after you get connected with the -Dwext command, you need to execute dhcpd to get your DNS and IP address.

**ppires7** · 05-31-2010

Weird... I will try, though i never needed to use something like dhcpd in Ubuntu or FreeBSD to get connected by all means. To tell you the truth, I expected the kernel of slack 13.1 should already support atheros wifi cards.

**MikeTbob** · 05-31-2010

The kernel does support Atheros chipsets with a module called ath5k or ath9k, depends on which chipset the card has.

**ppires7** · 05-31-2010

So, i never needed to install madwifi at all? I'm getting confused with my readings... so how should I work with my wireless - ath5k? which driver should I use while using wpa_supplicant? In the manual says it should be madwifi, but my system can't find it at all. I will try wext later and dhcpd... well... if you figure something out, tell me

You should not need madwifi.......follow this thread and post your results back here please.

Resuming what I have done untill now.

I removed madwifi pkg, changed my /etc/rc.d/rc.module where I setted it before to load:

Code:

/sbin/modprobe ath_pci

now it is

Code:

/sbin/modprobe ath5k

I'm still having the same problem, no progress untill now.

o/

btw, thnks till now for your atention Mike!

**MikeTbob** · 05-31-2010

No problem buddy!
I think that everything looks good from here. You did good by removing madwifi. Ath5k is loading and that's a good thing...So, I would ask you to issue these commands and see what we have here.
use root or sudo, depends on your setup.
First command should give you a list of devices, hopefully you see at wlan0 and lo

Code:

ifconfig

Second command brings the device up for action, You won’t see any feedback unless there is a problem.

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 up

Third command, scan for access points.

Code:

iwlist wlan0 scan

With the above command you will see output like the following:

wlan0 Scan completed :

So you know this network is available. From the above output you can also see this network is employing WPA, so you will need a passkey. If you don’t know that passkey, you are out of luck. Now it’s time to configure your connection. To do this issue the command:

Code:

iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ID key WIRELESS_KEY

Where NETWORK_ID is the ESSID of the network with which you want to connect and WIRELESS_KEY is the security key needed to connect to the wireless access point.
Note: iwconfig defaults to using a HEX key. If you want to use an ascii key you will have to add the “s:” prefix to your key like so:

Code:

iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ID key s:WIRELESS_KEY

Now that you have your configuration set, it’s time to get an IP address with the help of dhclient. Issue the command:

Code:

dhclient wlan0

Keep in mind, I don't use Slackware, so commands like dhclient may not be correct and you need to know the actual command name..................on my system (Gentoo) it's just dhcpd wlan0. Good luck and do post back with any errors or trouble you run into.

bash-4.1# iwconfig wlan0 essid WFIUFRJ
bash-4.1# dhclient wlan0
bash-4.1#

The problem was to use dhclient wlan0. I'm going to try it with wpa_supplicant though. This worked for my university's access point, but gotta see if the same works for a WPA-PSK network.

Thank you Mike!

Solved for now
