wireless Internet lost after upgrade.
When my last upgrade was completed (October 26) I lost my Internet connection, and have not been able to connect since. I've tried against different networks, and tried using different wifi-devices to no avail. When connecting everything looks good, "authenticating ..." etc. but it fails to give me an IP-address.
This is the output from dmesg: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/515686/
I guess the interesting part is this:

Note: I can not fix this by doing another upgrade, since I cant get an Internet connection...

Re: wireless Internet lost after upgrade.
An important piece of info is missing - which wifi card you have? So post the output of lspci -nn and lsusb, and maybe also lsmod. Your dmesg output shows several drivers loading, there's hostap_pci, there's prism, there's orinoco, and then there's rt61pci. That can't be all right, do you have two wireless cards in there?

Re: wireless Internet lost after upgrade.
Thanks for the reply, I do have two wifi-cards, and this worked before my upgrade.
The original internal card is intel, and does not support WPA, so I've been using a pcmcia/pci-card. I've used to use an usb-device but I don't have that here so can't check it now.
I've noticed that there are three devices in my ifconfig -a listing, which is strange since before the upgrade I only had two.
ifconfig -a:

Re: wireless Internet lost after upgrade.
Yeah, two drivers get loaded for the Prism card, which I assume is the one you don't want to use. So blacklist orinoco_pci and hostap_pci. However, the card does support WPA. So if you won't be able to get the Ralink card running, blacklist rt61pci and orinoco_pci so that the hostap_pci driver will be used. And then try connecting with the Prism card.
About the Ralink card, what are you using to connect, network-manager, wicd, netcfg? reason=3 means some process decided to deauthenticate, could be nm or wicd. So try a different manager than you're using now. Or try using wpa_supplicant directly, that would be the best course of action. This blog post is about the same kind of messages, it can give you further ideas, like say try disabling ipv6.
Then there is an old alternative driver (the original driver as released by Ralink themselves), but I doubt it still compiles with the latest kernels. The driver is here, if you're interested: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400/ … final-cvs/

Re: wireless Internet lost after upgrade.
Thanks for a thorough reply, and in answer to you question I use wicd-curses.
I've tried different blacklistings in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
blacklist orinoco_pci
blacklist hostap_pciThis gives me wlan0 for my extra (pci) card, that I normally use, and wlan1 for my usb-device (uses rtl8187), the old internal WEP card does not show up, which is good. Both wlan0 and wlan1 lists the networks, but get the "dauthentication reason = 3", so this is as close to a solution I got. Only thing missing now is being able to actually make the connection.
Then I tried:
blacklist rt61pci
blacklist orinoco_pciWhich gives me a wifi0 and wlan0 both dead (can't detect any nets), but my rtl8187-usb-card comes up as wlan1, and it detects but can't connect to any nets.
Before I did the upgrade, back when I blacklisted modules in rc.conf I had:
MODULES=(!orinoco_cs !orinoco !hostap !hostap_cs acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand)So I've also tried:
blacklist orinoco_cs
blacklist orinoco
blacklist hostap
blacklist hostap_csThat gives a wifi0, wlan0, and wlan1, for my two cards, and the wlan1 is my pci-card (WPA capable that I normally use), it detects but can't connect.
Maybe it's worth saying that when I did the upgrade, I lost connection immediately when the upgrade was completed, without having rebooted or anything.
I read the link you provided, it all seems to deal with Network Manager messing up something, which you can rectify by killing wpa_supplicant, but I see no such process if I run "ps aux".
Anyway, thanks for your help, if you have any other hints, I'm all ear.
