Hello.
I am running snv_101b on a lenovo T61 laptop. The laptop has the intel 4965
AG/AGN nic using the iwk driver. I've tried various versions of the SUNWiwk
package and I'm currently using revision VERSION: 11.11,REV=2008.10.15.11.28
(from pkginfo).
So my story goes like this. When ever I connect to a wireless AP I never
get an IP address. Well I shouldnt say never because it has worked 2 or 3
times out of say 500 attempts. I've tried multiple access with the same
results. I get connected to the AP but cannot get an IP address. dladm
show-wifi shows I'm connected to the AP.
Often time I get messages like this on boot or during the time I connect to
the AP
Jan 24 13:01:24 ld2 iwk: [ID 375329 kern.warning] WARNING: iwk_rx_sens(): can't
make rx sensitivity calibration,because has not enough rx time
These messages continually fill the messages file every few minutes
Jan 24 12:50:43 ld2 net80211: [ID 924358 kern.warning] WARNING: rc4_init failed
(49)
So after typing all sorts of random things to get DHCP working I've finally
come up with this series of commands to get an IP address via DHCP.
svcadm disable -t nwam
pfexec ifconfig iwk0 unplumb
modinfo |grep -i iwk
pfexec modunload -i 234
svcadm enable nwam
I've tested this about 10 times and it works every time so I'm confident it's
not just coincidentally working. Does the above command sequence give anyone
an idea of what the underlying problem is? Does calibration have to occur
before the module get's loaded (talking above my skill set here). Anyhoo if
anyone has any ideas of what I may be doing wrong I would appreciate it.
Thanks. Deet.
