Hi, Larry,
I found another strange thing with the driver.
I was able to successfully establish the connection using "wireless tools".
I just installed wpa_supplicant", and here is what happened:
IgorsGentooOnNetwork igor # ifconfig eth1 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Protocol error
Looking at dmesg, I found that the problem is in the firmware:
bcm43xx: PHY connected
bcm43xx: Microcode rev 0x127, pl 0xe (2005-04-18 02:36:27)
bcm43xx: InitVals (bcm43xx_initvalXX.fw) file-format error. Please fix your
bcm43xx firmware files.
bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-71)
Here is my /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
#Wireless-tools
#nis_domain_lo="IgorsGentoo"
#modules=("iwconfig")
#key_ESSID1="[1] s:IgorsNetwork key [1] enc open"
#key_ESSID2="[1] aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dd key [1] enc estricted"
#preferred_aps=("ESSID1" "ESSID2")
#Wpa_supplicant
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dbcm43xx"
Here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="IgorsNetwork"
psk="abcdef"
priority=5
}
Do I need to re-install the firmware going from wireless tools to
wpa_supplicant?
Thank you.
