Freeze on starting ndiswrapper
I have followed a variety of leads to try and activate wireless on my T60p (Ubuntu). The most promising was to use ndiswrapper with the Windows driver for Atheros (the Windows XP installation which came with the machine lists ar5416.sys as the driver.
So I go through the procedure: install ndiswrapper, then unpack the driver, then issue ndiswrapper -i net5416.inf All that works fine. sudo modprobe ndiswrapper FREEZE. Need to disconnect PS & battery to get out of it... So I check /var/log/messages and find out that things stopped at "disable_irq..." I set a tail -f on /var/log/messages and retry. Sure enough things stop at the same place. (see copy below) ndiswrapper -l gives the expected listing. ndiswrapper -m behaves OK. I try again with tail, this time the process goes one step further, and freezes again. Note that the last step shows an error. No info available on that error. Anyone can shed light on this? I'd be grateful!

You might try several versions of ndiswrapper while you're waiting for the MadWiFi drivers to catch up with the latest chipset.

Quote:
I had already looked up madwifi, but had not noticed the warning about DWA-645 version 1.02. As it happens, Ihad used that one. Now I have moved over to version 1.01, and the ndiswrapper installs fine. HOWEVER (there is always one more bug...) whilw I can see wlan0 under iwconfig, I can't see it under my netwrok connections Icon. When I invoke system>Administration>Networking, I do see it, I can activate it (apparently), but a ping on anything fails. I an still not connected. Help! |
Try running things manually.
iwconfig wlan0 essid <your_ssid> mode managed dhclient wlan0 If that works, edit the /etc network config script and forget the GUI. If not, post any errors. |
Thanks, 2Gnu.
In fact, as shown in the listing below, wlan0 was configured already. But there is an IPv6 address and no IPv4 address, for some reason. When I do dhclient, no response. For confirmation, I did a dhclient on eth0, and the response was immediate.

Does iwconfig show that the interface is associated?
|
Actually no, Access point: Not associated.
I have done the whole iwconfig setup (ESSID, WEP). But it still does not associate. |
I would still try an older version of ndiswrapper, just in case.
Maybe try removing and reinstalling 1.34, putting both the .inf and .sys files in the directory where you run ndiswrapper -i. Run ndiswrapper -l to see if all is reported as running. Also, make sure that the interface is up before doing anything: ifconfig wlan0 up Then, iwconfig essid, etc. Until iwconfig shows the card as associated, there's no use trying to run dhclient. You won't get an IP. Make sure that no other wireless driver is loading which might conflict. Otherwise, I'm out of brilliant suggestions. |
Just a question, are you using kernel 2.6.19.* ? I know I had a hell of alot of problems with atheros and that kernel.. bottom line was you need to install 1.34rc2 but anyways just a note
|
EcoR1, thanks for asking. I am actually using 2.6.17-10
So I am not faced with your problem... But I still need the insight of anyone who really understands wireless: What is it that would keep my radio from associating with my access point? Its about 5 feet away, and other machines see it perfectly well from the other side of the apt. |
It's likely not associating because ndiswrapper is not properly installed or it's not compatible with the Windows drivers.
Did you try any of the steps I suggested in my last post? Did you run ndiswrapper -l? Then again, I don't really understand wireless. |
2Gnu:
Thank you for persevering in this thankless thread... Yes, I did try all your suggestions, no joy. I want to restart from scratch, but I am not too sure how to remove all trace of previous activity. Any suggestions? Maybe there is some leftover from a previous attempt which gums up the works :-) Also, I keep getting "Interface does not support scanning" whenever I try iwlist. Any idea why? Thanks again |
iwlist isn't working because the driver isn't working.
To undo the ndiswrapper installation, cd to the directory where you unzipped the package - /home/your_home/ndiswrapper-1.34 for example - and as root, run make uninstall. Then, make, make install. Post any errors. Copy both the .sys and .inf files for your card (and any .bin which may contain firmware) to some directory. cd to that directory and run, as root, ndiswrapper -i driver_name.inf Post any errors. Run, as root, modprobe ndiswrapper Post any errors Run, as root, ndiswraper -l Post the output. This is all in the INSTALL file that comes with the source package, if you want to use that as a reference. Then, make sure the interface is there with iwconfig. Bring up the interface (may be redundant, but sometimes helps) with ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig mode managed essid your_ssid, etc. Check for association, then dhclient wlan0 Post any errors. |
Thanks, 2Gnu
I did what you suggested. No joy. In fact, the wlan0 interface does not even appear, now. (and the wireless indicator on my machine no longer lights up).

I hope there is some glaring mistake which you can see in this transcript... JP |
No glaring errors. This is the only part I don't like:
Code:
jrp@jrp:~/Driver$ ndiswrapper -i net5416.infYou're using 1.34RC2. Have you always been using that version? Have you tried an older one? The only other suggestion I have is to contact the ndiswrapper devs. Maybe they can provide some guidance. |
