No Wi-Fi whit Linux kernel 3.2 and Ath AR9287
I updated my kernel to 3.2 (with some changes to CPU section), but Wifi doesn't work anymore, even if my wireless card is recognized by
Code:
lspci Code:
ifconfig -a Suggestion? |
What distribution are you running?
If you built 3.2 yourself then it's entirely possible that you didn't build in ath9k support. Rebuild the kernel and ensure that you load the config from your previous kernel as a starting point. |
I'm running Debian Squeeze 6.0.3.
I verified the kenrnel config, but the ath9k feature is already loaded as module. But using Code:
lsmod |
Double check this for the running kernel:
Code:
grep -i ath9k /boot/config-`uname -r` Code:
modprobe ath9k |
First:
Code:
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m Code:
iwconfig |
Very odd... debugging exactly what is going on there may be more trouble than it's worth. Do you need the new kernel to support newer hardware you have? I would guess not, if you really need the latest kernel, you're better off running testing or unstable.
I would suggest you build an earlier kernel and see how that works out. 2.6.39 is in backports - try installing that and see if your wireless nic works, if it does then you can build your kernel against the 2.6.39 source. i.e. "apt-get source" the 2.6.39 kernel to get the debianised source, make your changes and rebuild it - you might get better results. |
Yes, I understood your point of view. I came back to use an earlier version.
Thanks |
Known problems
Here some known problems rfkill seems to hang on som cards :(
In consol as root ore sudo 1.rfkill unblock all (all ore wlan0) all is the best choice 2.ifconfig wlan0 up Then hopefully its ready to play :) Plug and pray :P /Gnuru |
