iwl4965, netcfg2 lease attempt failed

I'm trying to get my iwl4965 running with netcfg2, but i keep getting stuck on the actual connection/dhcp process.  These are the packages i have installed:

core/wireless_tools 29-2 [installed]
    Wireless Tools
core/iwlwifi-4965-ucode 228.57.2.21-1 [installed]
    Intel wireless firmware for IPW4965 (iwlwifi driver)
core/wpa_supplicant 0.5.10-1 [installed]
    A utility providing key negotiation for WPA wireless networks
core/netcfg 2.0.6-1 [installed]
    Network configuration and profile scripts

test.profile:

CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="no"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="Meow"
KEY="mypasswd"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20

iwlist wlan0 scan:

ESSID:"Meow"

            36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
Extra:tsf=0000000c3c85d01a

when i issue a netcfg2 test.profile, it's status says BUSY and stays like that indefinitely. when i then press control-c i get an extra line saying the DHCP lease failed:

:: Meow up                                                               [BUSY] 
^C          - DHCP IP lease attempt failed                               [FAIL]

dmesg:

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:19:cb:09:35:ee
wlan0: RX authentication from 00:19:cb:09:35:ee (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0)
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with AP 00:19:cb:09:35:ee
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:19:cb:09:35:ee (capab=0x51 status=0 aid=2)
wlan0: associated
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
wlan0: deauthenticate(reason=3)

could it be something trivial i'm missing? i've used wireless without problems before using networkmanager, but i really would like to use netcfg2 instead. wink

Re: iwl4965, netcfg2 lease attempt failed

Hello, there seems to problems with this iwl4965-driver.
Those guys have similar problems:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=53300
and here is another problem with this driver described:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 42#p396142
So, it seems as these problems are related, so just try to use an older driver version.

Thanks Top_se, i didn't have any freezes like others reported and i'm still on kernel .25, but it's useful information nonetheless. smile
