iwl3945, NetworkManager and NetworkManager-kde
Last modified: 2008-05-29 09:55:57 UTC
After clean boot no wireless connection possible with NetworkManager and iwl3945-driven wi-fi card (intel/pro, laptop nc6400). NM's KDE applet shows wi-fi AP, but fails to connect to it. Only manual configuration works: rcnetwork stop rmmod iwl3945; modprobe iwl3945 ifconfig wlan0 X.X.X.X iwconfig wlan0 essid <My AP's ESSID> iwlist wlan0 scan <--- get AP's MAC here iwconfig wlan0 ap <MAC obtained on previous step> ip ro add default via Y.Y.Y.Y My wi-fi setup has no encryption at all (access limited to several MACs), and IPs are assigned via DHCP by access point.

The thing is, that "OpenSoft" AP does not have any security enabled (nor WEP, neither WPA/WPA2).

Could you please try again with Beta1?
Fixed in Beta1. Please reopen this report if the issue appears again. Thanks for reporting :)
Well, latest update has progress - now KNetworkManager tries to connect after booting and logon, but still fails. Reloading iwl3945 kmod does not help. Stopping network subsystem and manual config works. Here's dmesg part: ...<skipped>... bootsplash: status on console 0 changed to on wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0 wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 wlan0: RX authentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated wlan0: switched to short barker preamble (BSSID=00:0f:ea:68:bf:72) wlan0: disassociate(reason=3) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: deauthenticated wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (reason=6) wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 wlan0: RX authentication from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:0f:ea:68:bf:72 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated wlan0: switched to short barker preamble (BSSID=00:0f:ea:68:bf:72) wlan0: disassociate(reason=3) knetworkmanager[3052]: segfault at 7fff930a3ff8 ip 7ff88476543c sp 7fff930a4000 error 6 in libkdeinit_knetworkmanager.so[7ff884695000+ec000] My current kernel is: Linux shark 2.6.25-18-default #1 SMP 2008-04-19 12:46:18 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Any progress with this? iwl3945 driver still works really unreliable (Beta3Plus), on fresh boot/after resume from STD(R) 'iwlist wlan0 scan' takes ages and sees AP that is 2 meters away two times from 20 (20 runs - only in 2 outputs AP is seen).
