[SOLVED] Asus Eee 1001P - No Wireless Interface

Hello,

I just installed Arch Linux on my Asus Eee and it turns out there neither the ethernet or wireless is working. After running the lspci command the final line reads:

02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 002c (rev 01)

Nevermind I fixed this problem in a slow and painful process of copying every singe piece of source code I needed untill I had a development environment going on.

V------ New Problem See Below ------V

Hmm.. thats not a hole lot of info to work with..you cant use make because its a pkgbuild your not compiling from source persay.. whats the output of makepkg? Maybe your missing some dependencies.

Re: [SOLVED] Asus Eee 1001P - No Wireless Interface

I also have an 1001p netbook. I didn't try that driver, however using ndiswrapper and the xp driver off of ASUS's website, i was able to get the wireless working. After running an pacman -Syu (using the ndiswrapper wireless network) the ehternet was working as well.

I'm still using ndiswrapper, but it isn't working on WPA/WPA2 secured networks, so perhaps if i get some time i will give that driver a shot and see how it fares.

If you have any other issues setting the 1001p up let me know.

EDIT: That package from the AUR is out of date (last updated in 2008) so i doubt that it will work with this netbook. However i do not claim to be an expert at this stuff, so don't take my word for it wink

Re: [SOLVED] Asus Eee 1001P - No Wireless Interface

Ok so now that I have wired internet, wireless doesn't work. Can't even get an Interface to show up:

iwconfig

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

In fact, I can't even figure out if the wireless is a ath9k or a Realtek chipset. After browsing the web the only information I can get via terminal is this:

ispci -n

02:00.0 0280: 168c:002c (rev 01)

Which accordig to some user off Ubuntu's forums is my wireless adapter, another unrelated smaller problem is the EeePC hotkeys don't work either.

Re: [SOLVED] Asus Eee 1001P - No Wireless Interface

Are you using ndiswrapper for the wireless? Did you modprobe ndiswrapper (or add it to MODULES in /etc/rc.conf)?

Re: [SOLVED] Asus Eee 1001P - No Wireless Interface

So i have this netbook in my hands to install and the wireless interface doesn't show up. What do i do? I tried loading the ath9k module but nothing appears different.

It isn't supported in linux????

And the ethernet connection fails trying to get an ip from dhcp and even trying to get a manual ip doesn't work. Bu maybe this is related to the router....

Do i have to use that weird thing the ndiswraper method????

Yes, use ndiswrapper to get wifi working, then an upgrade will get the ehternet working (assuming you did a core install).

You probably have the RA2427 Atheros wireless (like my 1001P).  No matter what I tried, I could not get it working without ndiswrapper.

Re: [SOLVED] Asus Eee 1001P - No Wireless Interface

Just for the record, I just got native ath9k working with compat-wireless on my 1001p.
Basically, go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download and download the bleeding edge source.
Unpack it and cd to the new dir
Then,

sudo pacman -S kernel26-headers wireless-regdb crda iw
./scripts/driver-select ath9k
make
sudo make install
sudo make unload
sudo make wlunload
sudo make btunload
sudo modprobe ath9k

This works on my 1001p.  For others, make sure the hardware is on with Fn + F2 after modprobe.  Wicd picked up wlan0.  Works perfectly for the WPA networks I've connected to. 
Thanks a million.
