wlan0: carrier lost

slack_ · 12-12-2013, 01:40 PM

Whats up *nix users. I'm here today because I have an unexpected wireless issue. The reason I say it's unexpected is because, well, it shouldn't be happening. I'm not confused on what I'm supposed to do, just on the outcome. Anyway, I've still been configuring my newly installed Slackware, and I decided I didn't want to use Networkmanager anymore. What I originally aimed to do was manually configure wireless, and do so with a static IP. I've done this in Arch linux and oddly enough it was quite easy. Slackware is proving to be more difficult. So for the sake of troubleshooting I decided to forget about the static IP part, and just try to get my wireless connection manually configured using DHCP.

Just as the documentation says, I edited the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file with the proper settings as such:

Code:

# Config information for wlan0 (using dhcp):
IFNAME[0]="wlan0"
IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]="my_ssid"
WLAN_WPA[0]="wpa_supplicant"
WLAN_WPADRIVER[0]="wext"

Here's my wpa_supplicant file:

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=root
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
scan_ssid=0
ssid="my_ssid"
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk="psk generated using wpa_passhprase"
}

I've disabled network manager, and I'm not using rc.wireless.conf for anything as I know that it's deprecated. However, I keep seeing this error on startup:

Code:

Polling for DHCP server on interface wlan0:
dhcpcd[1976]: version 5.5.6 starting
dhcpcd[1976]: all: not configured to accept IPv6 RAs
dhcpcd[1976]: wlan0: carrier acquired
dhcpcd[1976]: wlan0: carrier lost
dhcpcd[1976]: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[1976]: timed out
dhcpcd[1976]: allowing 8 seconds for IPv4LL timeout
dhcpcd[1976]: timed out

All the troubleshooting I've done has gotten me to this point(trust me I was worse off before). I don't know how to proceed further because, at least IMO, I've followed all the wireless setup guides I can find to a tee. Any input would be much appreciated, thanks.

I think you need two files.
The way I do it is have a
/where/ever/wpa.conf

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
        ssid="TheNameOfIt"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="hand-typed-plain-text-passphrase"
}

which is called by the actual file I run as a script:
/where/ever/TheNameOfIt.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh 
iface=wlan1

#shut down interface
ifconfig wlan1 down

#set ad-hoc/management of wireless device
iwconfig wlan1 mode Managed

#enable interface
ifconfig wlan1 iface up

#stop any persistent wireless wpa2 sessions
killall wpa_supplicant

#apply WPA/WPA2 personal settings to device
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan1 -c ~/wpa.conf -dd

#obtain an IP address
dhclient wlan1

As you can see "wpa.conf" is referenced by my TheNameOfIt.sh script.
There is also only one "ctrl_interface" in my wpa.conf file.
Try my way as a template, and see if you get anywhere?
I do call the script as root BTW.
FWIW, I have absolutely zero reference to wlan1 (or wlan0 for that matter) in my /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf. It's "virgin".

slack_ · 12-14-2013, 06:28 PM

I am root on my system. I will try your way(at work atm) but Im just confused as to why it doesn't work following the slckbook guide. Thanks for responding by the way.

So you are saying you dont use inet1.conf at all?

STDOUBT · 12-14-2013, 07:20 PM

Right. Never edited inet1.conf. I'm not one to RTFM anyway...
I found out about how to do this from someone's post on this very forum.
I'm probably not the best one to help you on this, but it has worked
for me just fine. Full disclosure: I normally just use wicd-curses since
I often connect to various access points.

slack_ · 12-14-2013, 08:13 PM

Id be using that as well but at least for my home connection I wanted to do ot manually and eventually set up a static IP(tried that right off the bat but that did didn't work either). Just trying to learn as much about Slack as possible.

Richard Cranium · 12-14-2013, 10:27 PM

Which version of slackware? The rc.inet1.conf file that you get on installation has a rather extensive example in the commented out section.

slack_ · 12-14-2013, 10:57 PM

Slackware 14.0, but as I've stated it's not that I don't know what to do. I've followed the slackbook, as well as referred to the well documented /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file. The problem is that for whatever reason after following the directions exactly, it still doesn't work.

I really want to get it to work the proper way before trying out other methods.

EDIT: Ok, seriously. This makes no sense whatsoever. I've tried everything I can possibly think of. I'm following the guides exactly yet it refuses to work I keep getting this error:

Code:

Polling for DHCP server on interface wlan0:
dhcpcd[1976]: version 5.5.6 starting
dhcpcd[1976]: all: not configured to accept IPv6 RAs
dhcpcd[1976]: wlan0: carrier acquired
dhcpcd[1976]: wlan0: carrier lost
dhcpcd[1976]: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[1976]: timed out
dhcpcd[1976]: allowing 8 seconds for IPv4LL timeout
dhcpcd[1976]: timed out

I'm beyond frustrated at this point. Here's my inet1.conf:

Code:

                                # character, see the example).

and my wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=root

network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="myssid"
key_mgmt=WPA2
psk="mypass"
}

However, I've tried many different things in my inet1.conf. I've changed all the uncommented fields from [4] to [0] to match iface wlan0, as well I've changed them to [1]. I've commented and uncommented all fields in different variations. Anything I could possibly think of. Nothing works. Why? What's the point of having a guide if following it doesn't actually solve anything?

Richard Cranium · 12-15-2013, 12:34 AM

OK, I just got it to work for me (Slackware64 14.1, but I don't think there's a big difference).

I think that your key_mgmt should be set to WPA-PSK. If you're going to use DHCP, I'd set GATEWAY to "".

The only thing that I've got set in rc.inet1.conf is

Code:

IFNAME[4]="wlan0"
USE_DHCP[4]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[4]="hp635"

My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf contains

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=root
eapol_version=1
network={
        scan_ssid=0
        ssid="NOYFB"
        #psk="As if I would tell anyone."
        psk=ecf036b1e0108a52c00ba66723cc3a14cb7bef84f0a0d56ea0f11ec18b38eb44
        proto=WPA RSN
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK 
}

I won't claim that's the minimum amount of stuff for wpa_supplicant.conf, but that's what I had when it started working.

slack_ · 12-15-2013, 12:42 AM

I had it set to WPA-PSK beforehand, and had GATEWAY set to nothing as well. That didn't work either. I'll try to have a more complex wpa_supplicant and a simpler inet1.conf. I'm starting to think inet1.conf just.... Doesn't work for me.

Richard Cranium · 12-15-2013, 12:53 AM

Well, you can run the command

Code:

wpa_supplicant  -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -iwlan0 -d

in another window to see what's going on as Mr. Hameleer's site mentions. That helped me figure out what the devil was going on. The wpa_supplicant.conf man page had some other hints.

slack_ · 12-15-2013, 12:54 AM

Thanks very much. I was looking for something like this, just in the wrong place. I had tried looking for a more verbose output to dhcpcd. My brain has grown tired of this troubleshooting(it's been hours) but I will look over the output and hopefully fix the problem soon.

slack_ · 12-15-2013, 02:20 AM

Correct me if I'm wrong but the DHCP_HOSTNAME is the hostname of your machine i.e. root@whatever < correct?

Richard Cranium · 12-15-2013, 09:15 AM

That's normally the case.

It's the string you provide to the DHCP server as part of the protocol to uniquely identify your machine. If you are talking to a cable service provider's DHCP server on the router they provide, then it's whatever string they tell you to use. If you don't provide a value, the DHCP server will normally use the MAC address of the card that's talking to it (since if that's not unique, you're going to have problems galore).

slack_ · 12-15-2013, 02:21 PM

Ok. I've set my /etc/inet1.conf to be the same as yours(obviously with my information), and my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to be the same. Stopped rc.networkmanager(once again) and restarted. Once again, it failed to work. Once again, I have no clue why. However, I ran the wpa_supplicant command mentioned above and got this output:

After that it hangs for... well I stopped it because I cooked breakfast, went to shower, got changed, took the dog out, and found it still here when I got back. It seems as though it is connecting at some point, but idk. I'm on the verge of giving up on inet1.conf completely and just sticking with networkmanager :/

Well, the wpa_supplicant output appears to tell me that it was able to authenticate.

What you can try next is

As root, issue a "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_stop" command.
Open an xterm (or konsole) as root and run the wpa_supplicant command with debug output.
As root, issue a "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_start" command.

Then see what happens in the wpa_supplicant output window as well as the rc.inet1 command output.
