wlan probs in kde :)

[onda_trollet]

heya

i use kde 3.5.9 and slack 12.1
i just installed kwlan so i could get on the net (in win now). but i get a "WPA supplicant cant be started, cant use ecryption". something like that. not sure how to fix that and what is wrong.... in kde, it says i got a marvel yukon card and a broadcom something. so if thats listed in the kde system thing, i guess my cards are working. this must be something else?

I will try and help you, but more information is needed.

First, which Linux distro are you using?

What type of wireless is it, PCI card, USB or built in?

In the mean time, try using Network Manager (aka KNetworkManager). You don't need wpa_supplicant with it. I think that if it is a Broadcom wireless, you still won't be able to connect until you install firmware for it.

thanks a lot!

i use slackware 12.1 and kde 3.5.9. its an acer amd 64. i think the card is pci. i have also been thinking that the broadcom card might be the card for using internet through a network cable, but i am not sure. yesterday i downloaded linux drivers for my marvel yukon card, but when i installed it said that there alread was an driver, but unsupported. so i didnt dare do anything

also, i did install wpa_supplicant after my post, but not sure i did it correctly
the router has wpa psk encryption. will try using network manager.

its a bit of a jungle for me so for now i download stuff to my windows partition and then drag it over in linux.

[waterhead]

I need the output of a few commands. I'm not sure how Slackware handles commands, but enter these and post the output.

lspci -nn

lsmod

dmesg

You can save the outputs to text files, and attach the files to a post, if you like.

hehe, different sorts of squares... but its the info you want anyway. and you were right about the broadband card too, i think!

[waterhead]

Here's the relevant info from your post.


From lspci, your wireless card

05:00.0 Network controller [0280] Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [14e4:4311] (rev 01)

From lsmod, the Linux wireless driver module that is loaded

 b43 113568 0

And from dmesg, the wireless error dealing with the firmware

b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed.
b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware (version 4).

You can pretty much do what the error says. The web site for your driver can be found here:
b43 - Linux Wireless

I'm not sure which is version 4, but it depends on the kernel version that you are running. To find out your kernel version, enter this command.

uname -r

You most likely will use the first one, 4.80.53.0. You will then need to extract the firmware from the downloaded file. this is done with the b43-fwcutter program. Make sure that you get the version that is recommended.

The firmware is usually put in the /lib/firmware folder. On my Fedora 8 laptop, the dmesg error said to put it in /lib/firmware/b43. I don't see that message for you, but keep it in mind. Here is the page with the firmware installation instructions

heya

ok so i have done that. but i dont have knetwork manager. i found out i needed network manager for gnome to install the knetwork manager. so i downloaded the network manager, but couldnt install because it lacked gconf 2.0 something. so as i understand it... it has something to do with gnome, which i dont think i have installed. will try to install it from my slack cds today after work.

If you use the Gnome desktop, it is called Network Manager. If you use the KDE desktop, it is called KNetworkManager. You don't need to install both versions.

ok... thought i needed network manger because its listed as a dependency over at kde-apps.org
