Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with ath9k: can't authenticate

Does your problem happen with WEP or WPA networks? There is a known bug introduced in the 3.2 kernels that breaks ath9k for WEP networks (though WPA and WPA2 are not effected). The patch I thought had been merged into the 3.3 series, though I am not sure when (which minor version) it went in. (I have been putting off a kernel upgrade because of this.)

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with ath9k: can't authenticate
I'm using WPA2 but tried even with no authentication, without luck. The authentication always times out. I'll try your configurations Zhu. I've tried wpa_supplicant before with similar configurations, without luck. I'll look at this carefully. Thank you for all your feedback. I'll come back today later with results.
[gentoo-user] Problems with ath9k: can't authenticate
Hi guys. I'm having problems with my wireless nic, on a notebook. The card is an ath9k 802.11n wireless adapter. The driver is loaded, wpa_supplicant and wicd get to recognize them, I can see the association working correctly, but I can't get the card to authenticate, it ALWAYS times out. I tried looking at the kernel documentation for the ath9k driver, but without success. I'll look for it using the work internet. Anyway, does anyone with a similar setup had any problems with atheros nics? And how did you solve it? Thinking further, I had to enable wireless extensions (wext) to make wicd handle ath9k. Should I disable it and stick to wpa_supplicant? Also, I'm using a non-modular kernel, compiling everything in it. Yesterday I left the notebook making a new modular kernel, with sound and wireless drivers modular. I'm almost going all the way to genkernel. Any clues? I'm running ~amd64, kernel 3.3.0. 3.1.X worked somewhat ok, but I can't shake the feeling that under Windows this laptop of mine would work flawlessly. I'm not whining, just wanna find a comparable configuration, and solve my usability issues. Thanks -- Claudio Roberto França Pereira
Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with ath9k: can't authenticate
Hi, Check in wicd settings which routing tool you use. Select route when using ip. I got some problems with wicd and ip. I just using similar ath9k card on 3.0.x with no problem. I always use wifi as module. And I don't use genkernel, just my plain config and easy initrd for lvm root support and fbsplash. Robert.

I'm not using wicd, only two configuration file:
first:
[root@asgard ~]$ cat
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
16:31
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid=KOJIRO
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=***
}
and second:
[root@asgard ~]$ cat /etc/conf.d/net
modules=wpa_supplicant
#HOME
config_wlan0=10.10.10.21 netmask 255.255.255.0
routes_wlan0=default via 10.10.10.1
dns_servers_wlan0=mydns1 mydns2
In this configuration:
Linux asgard 3.3.0-gentoo-asgard #4 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 13 12:59:38 BRT
2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Working!!!
But a warning, have some bug in kernel-3.3.1 that the same configuration
don't work:
