Can't start wireless after install

Hi,

I was having problems with network (see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125656). As I wasn't able to find a solution, I'm trying to install arch linux again.
I installed ok but can't see to start wireless. When I try to up the wlan0, i have this message:

SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

I search for this and the most probable cause found was that the firmware for my ethernet card is missing.
When I am in the installer, I can start wireless.

So, AGAIN, must be a configuration problem. Something that I am not loading or starting at the initialization.

My ethernet card is a intel 82566DC2.
The driver seems to be the e1000e.

If I do lsmod, I see it.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks smile

Re: Can't start wireless after install

Where to start?

First off, the 82566 is a wired NIC.  I don't think we will have much luck getting it to connect to a wireless router.

I'm trying to install arch linux again.

Don't.  In general, that is not required on Arch and is a waste of time.

Please post the output of ip link and of lspci -nn   (That is two n's, not m)

Let us look at those and we will give you more advice...

Re: Can't start wireless after install

Hi ewaller,

I thought  82566 was both ethernet and wireless...
Anyway, it's too late to avoid reinstall...
I solved the problem of internet connection installing everything on the packages... lol
Obviously I was missing something. But I need yet to figure what is in order to avoid install things that will not be used and give me problems too...
The bad thing is that the problem with the power off is still happening.

Anyway, maybe you can help me to find what was that I am missing on the installation.

ip link gives:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

Re: Can't start wireless after install

I don't see a wireless card in that list. Is it an usb device maybe? If so, we need the output of lsusb (it's in the usbutils package, in case you don't have it yet).

Hi Gusar,
.
Well... If it's an usb device, then is an "internal device", because I don't use that "sticks" for mobile connection...
In any case, here is the output of lsusb:

You guys are shure that the 82566DC-2 isn't wireless too?

P.S.:

I used nm-tool and the result is like this:

- Device: wlan0  [Auto Fossil3] ------------------------------------------------
  Type:              802.11 WiFi
  Driver:            rt73usb

It is indeed. Gemtek WUBR177G is an usb wifi thingy. rt73usb driver, and the required firmware (rt73.bin) is in the linux-firmware package. Post the output of dmesg after an unsuccessful connection attempt, maybe it'll say something interesting.

Re: Can't start wireless after install

Hi Gunter.

You clarified me!
The reason that I wasn't able to connect before installing "everything" is that I wasn't installing the rt73usb driver...
Now it's working, anyway. But it's good to know WHAT I have to install... wink

But Even after the re-install, I am still with this problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125656

sad

But the failure to connect to the wireless is gone smile
Thanks to all. smile

Ok, seriously: While it would be nice to know why networkmanager crashes your machine, it's is not the only way to handle networks. If it has to be graphical try wicd, otherwise netcfg is very cool.

Re: Can't start wireless after install

LOL

Sorry Gusar!!!!
I have an uncle (alread passed alway) that was called Guinter and I think my brain mixed things a little... xD

I think the problem is not Networkmanager...
I see this only now, after find that my network driver is a rt73usb: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 78#p992978

Seens that the problem is with the driver and the new kernel 3.0.
In fact, I have the networkmanager working on a laptop. The only difference is that it's another wireless device.

I think I update to the new kernel on the same day I changed the ISP. There the confusion... hmm

Probably I'll have to live with this problem until a new kernel or new driver solve this issue...

Oh my... sad

Re: Can't start wireless after install

Lets try some basics.
Can you post the output of iwconfig and of iwlist scan (Both provided by the wireless_tools package)

Re: Can't start wireless after install

Well, the good news is that you are associated with the access point Fossil3.  The bad news is that you do not have an IP address.
What happens if you run dhcpcd with root permissions?  If you don't have dhcpcd, try dhclient

Sorry Gusar!!!!
I have an uncle (alread passed alway) that was called Guinter and I think my brain mixed things a little... xD

Ah. My mind went to this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnther_Jauch smile

The issue is probably not directly in nm, but in the way it interacts with what seems to be a not-very-stable driver. If wicd doesn't have a problem, why not use that? Or netcfg?

How??? yikes

I have an IP... If I haven't one, how I could be using internet? Or it's possible?

dhcpcd:

dhcpcd[1575]: version 5.2.12 starting
dhcpcd[1575]: wlan0: rebinding lease of 192.168.1.66
dhcpcd[1575]: eth0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[1575]: wlan0: acknowledged 192.168.1.66 from 192.168.1.254
dhcpcd[1575]: wlan0: leased 192.168.1.66 for 3600 seconds
dhcpcd[1575]: forked to background, child pid 1606

Networkmanager wouldn't get an IP?

I know him by name. I thought that was him that you are thinking... Maybe we are relatives, because my grandpa and grandma were germany, but we lost contact with our family in germany and in any case, are lots of Jauch's in the world... lol
Hum... I always have used networkmanager...

But I can give a try to other, if this fix my problem... rsrs smile

Re: Can't start wireless after install

Sorry, my mistake.  I missed the fact you are on-line now.

Disregard.

Re: Can't start wireless after install

Just to do a little follow up.
I just updated my system, for kernel 3.1 and other things and now everything is working. I can shut down my machine with no problems :-)
