FATAL: module iwl4965 not found[SOLVED]

isolier · 2008-01-10 06:45:20

When booting from the CD to install Arch it detected and "installed" my intel 4965 wireless NIC just fine. However, now that I have arch installed it is giving me the error above. How can I go about grabbing the module off of the install disc and getting it running on my machine? Thanks for your time in advance.

I guess you have to install the relevant packages:

pacman -Sy iwlwifi iwlwifi-4965-ucode

Should you have no other option than wireless then you may want to boot into your system from your install disc.

The point is that I'm not sure the driver is supplied as a package in the install CD. I may be wrong.

Ok, I just reinstalled from CD and it loads fine. Thanks for the help. Is there something special I need to do to get it to connect to a WPA secured wireless network? In my rc.conf I have the following:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid mySSID key s:mypassword"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(wlan0)
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 wlan0)

However, on boot the wlan0 times out, I take it this is because I am not doing something correctly in regards to the WPA authentication? Thanks for your time.

You need to configure /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and your network profile.
I'd recommend this article to give you some clues.

There's a new version of netcfg in testing at the moment, it brings further improvements and simplicity. I'd encourage you to try it. Have a look at this to know a bit more.

Finally, this may be helpful as well.

Ok, well that was very helpful. Thank you for your help and just so you don't think I wasn't trying on my own I was indeed already reading two of the links you gave me It ended up being fairly simply so for the record all that was required was creating a profile in /etc/network-profiles by copying the template in that directory and editing the relevent information. I also uncommented USEWPA="yes", WPAOPTS="", AUTOWPA="yes", and PASSKEY="mypasskey". Then I removed all the wlan stuff from my rc.conf I added earlier, inlcuding the wlan0 entry in INTERFACES and finally uncommented the NET_PROFILES=(home) line and replaced 'home' with my ssid. Then reboot and it works like a charm. Thanks again for your help bangkok.

You are most welcome ! And welcome to Arch too !

BTW, you may add [SOLVED] to the topic's name.

Cheers

would you be so kind and show complete content regading network from /etc/rc.conf and content of /etc/network-profiles/your-file

I already built menu, have 2 options: LAN dhcp ( for LAN in office) and trying to add wlan home (for wlan usage at home where I have wpa-psk)
when I make manual configuration i.e. script then it works properly but from menu I got always problem to connect to AP
And I cannot find where the problem in config file is

thanks in advance

EDITED:
I moved to netcfg2 and it is ok now

Ok here is my rc.conf:

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux

Then the file "wifiProfile" residing in /etc/network-profiles is:

WPAOPTS=""             # use "" for normal operation or specify additional

AUTOWPA="yes"          # automatically configure WPA
PASSKEY="secretPassword"             # wpa passkey/phrase. for use with AUTOWPA

So there you have it, hope it helps.
