Hi, I've been asked from the fedora mailing list, to post my problems here on that one. This is it : I have a brand new laptop Lenovo T61P, and i wanted to install Fedora8 on it. The wireless stuff works fine, using another HD, with Windows Vista on it. After different pbs, I got F8 installed on it. Now when I boot, I have the following message : "error for wireless request "set mode (8B06)". Set failed on device wlan0. invalid argument.
I have that message since I've updated the packages. When I just installed F8 from the DVD, I didn't get that warning, but the wifi didn't work though. The little led that shows that wifi is activated is off. The wireless I have is : 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) 03:00.0 0280: 8086:4230 (rev 61) Subsystem: 8086:1111 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR+ <PERR- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 216 Region 0: Memory at df2fe000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable+ Address: 00000000fee0300c Data: 4162 Capabilities: [e0] Express Endpoint IRQ 0 Device: Supported: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0, ExtTag- Device: Latency L0s <512ns, L1 unlimited Device: AtnBtn- AtnInd- PwrInd- Device: Errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- Device: RlxdOrd+ ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop+ Device: MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 128 bytes Link: Supported Speed 2.5Gb/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s L1, Port 0 Link: Latency L0s <128ns, L1 <64us Link: ASPM L0s Enabled RCB 64 bytes CommClk+ ExtSynch- Link: Speed 2.5Gb/s, Width x1 After a while, I have my wireless stuff that works. But it works, only if I run knetworkmanager. If I stop it, it doesn't work. The led that shows that the wifi function is running doesn't work, but I don't care. The pb I have is that knetworkmanager doesn't take care of the IP address I wrote in the ifcfg-wlan0 file. It takes an IP from my dhcp router, but my laptop has a fixed ip, It is configurated that way, it is not supposed to take an IP from my dhcp router. Another pb, is that I'm disconnected from the network after 8 or 10 minutes. I have to stop my connection from the icon on my desktop and to connect again to the wireless network. Something is broken somewhere. I didn't have such problems before running my old laptop and F7.
