(Another) Wireless Issue

TheTwilit · April 11, 2009, 4:14pm

Hi openSUSE Forums,

I’m another newbie to openSUSE, and I know Linux has it’s problems with wireless cards on laptops, so I’m here for yet another inquiry.

I recently downloaded openSUSE 11.1 on my ancient HP Compaq laptop. It originally ran on Windows XP Home Edition (which I deleted with Linux, accidentally), and was manufactured around 2003 or so.
As for the wireless card:
WLAN PCMIA Card, IEE 802.11b 2.4Ghz DSSS. It’s made by Intellinet.

After inserting it into the slot, and opening the GNOME Terminal, I ran “/sbin/lspci” and came up with this:

00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc AGP Bridge [IGP 320M] (rev 13) 
00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 320M] (rev 01) 
00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 
00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02) 
00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533/M1535/M1543 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV/V/V+] 
00:08.0 Modem: ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller 
00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ601/6912/711E0 CardBus/SmartCardBus Controller 
00:10.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c4) 
00:11.0 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 Power Management Controller [PMU] 
00:12.0 Ethernet controller: National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller 
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility U1

Being me, I’m having issues with finding what to do next, so I turn to this community.

Please help,

Your card does not show up in the lspci output. This tells me that it is not a
Cardbus device, but a 16-bit PCMCIA card. Please run two additional commands:


/sbin/lspcmcia  -v
/usr/sbin/iwconfig

The prognosis for getting this card to work is not good. Coverage of such 16-bit
devices is slim.

Okay, it comes out as:

	Configuration:	state: on	ready: yes 
			Voltage: 3.3V Vcc: 3.3V Vpp: 0.0V

			prod_id(2): "AT76C502AR" (0x41b37e1f) 
			prod_id(3): --- (---) 
			prod_id(4): --- (---)

And for the second command:

lo        no wireless extensions. 
 
eth0      no wireless extensions. 
 
eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:off/any

And Andy, I’ll be sure to read them.

Good. There is a driver (atmel_cs) and it is loaded. What is the result of the
commands


sudo  /usr/sbin/iwlist eth1 scan
dmesg | grep atm

Good. There is a driver (atmel_cs) and it is loaded. What is the result of the
commands
sudo  /usr/sbin/iwlist eth1 scan
dmesg | grep atm

For the first one:

ethl    Interface doesn't support scanning.

Second:

I hope you understand that these messages mean that you do not have the firmware
installed.

If you have Internet access when in Linux, open a terminal and enter


sudo zypper install atmel-firmware

If you have to load some other OS to get Internet access, you will need to
download the following URL and get the file into your home directory on Linux:


http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel/atmel-firmware-1.3.tar.gz

After you have completed that step, open a terminal and enter the following
commands:


tar zxvf atmel-firmware-1.3.tar.gz
cd atmel-firmware-1.3/images
sudo cp atmel_at76c502-wpa.bin /lib/firmware

After you do these steps and reboot, you should see your AP from the iwlist
command above. If so, all that remains is to configure the connection.

Alright, now that that’s done, how do I configure the connection?
Oh, and after I ran all the codes together, I rebooted, then ran them again and it came out as:

nick@linux-yaos:~> /sbin/iwilst 
bash: /sbin/iwilst: No such file or directory 
nick@linux-yaos:~> tar zxvf atmel-firmware-1.3.tar.gz

root's password:

I think it looked like that the first time, too…

Open 2 terminal windows.

First terminal


su -c "tail -F /var/log/messages"

and keep it running, this is your “control” window.

second terminal.


ls -l /lib/firmware/atmel*

su 

password

modprobe -rv atmel_cs

modprobe -v atmel_cs

iwlist eth1 scan

That’s not good, and I also wanted to see kernel messages on loading the module (which was not possible, as it could not be unloaded).

OK, same procedure again (all commands as root)

First console with the tail-command.

remove the card
unload moodule


modprobe -rv atmel_cs

If it’s not unloadable, reboot the machine without the card and start from the beginning.

insert card


modprobe -v atmel_cs

(if the module is not loaded automatically, take a look at your monitoring console).


iwconfig

iwlist scan

ifconfig eth1 up

iwconfig 

iwlist scan

Again, post output of both consoles.

^^That was both.

And now again without forgetting the second console and without forgetting to load the module.

TheTwilit · April 12, 2009, 2:43am

Oh, sorry, I forgot to load the module again.

Then I screwed up, so I rebooted the machine without the card, inserted again once ready, and ran then restarted the steps.

This is the ENTIRE code I came up with (for all of them):

Kernel problem when initializing the card, but:

Apr 11 20:35:59 linux-yaos kernel: irq 3: nobody cared 
**(try booting with the "irqpoll" option)**

Reboot the machine and type

irqpoll

before starting openSUSE (can be seen in the line Boot Options).

Same procedure again.

Kernel problem when initializing the card, but:

Apr 11 20:35:59 linux-yaos kernel: irq 3: nobody cared 
**(try booting with the "irqpoll" option)**

Reboot the machine and type

irqpoll

before starting openSUSE (can be seen in the line Boot Options).

Same procedure again.

Ah, thanks, that somehow got my internet working once I entered that and went through the same procedure.

And now the last step is to add this parameter permanently to your boot options.

Start a text editor as root
open the file “boot/grub/menu.lst”
search for the lines starting with “kernel” and add

irqpoll

to the respective lines.

Save and you’re done.

TheTwilit · April 12, 2009, 3:55am

Where do I add irqpoll on the lines?
