messages from dmesg (relevant tail of its output), with annotations
Have you tried moving closer to the AP? Do you know for certain that the card is still good? Ok, seems the card isn't good anymore. (I thought I'd tried it in FC3 before upgrading, but I guess I hadn't.) |
Description of problem: My orinoco PCMCIA wireless card won't associate with the access point. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.20-1.2975.fc7 initscripts-8.51-1 NetworkManager-0.6.5-0.3.cvs20061025.fc7 pcmciautils-014-5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid "my-essid" 2. /sbin/iwconfig eth1 Actual results: shows correct essid and channel, but shows Link Quality=0/92 Signal level=134/153 Noise level=134/153 Expected results: shows link quality / signal / noise 3. /sbin/ifup eth1 Actual results: Determining IP information for eth1... failed; no link present. Check cable? 4. /sbin/service NetworkManager start Actual results: NetworkManager won't connect to network, even though the card can scan Additional info: Note that /sbin/iwlist eth1 scan only shows good scanning information if I've run NetworkManager since the last reboot. The card is, according to lspcmcia -v: Socket 0 Device 0: [orinoco_cs] (bus ID: 0.0) Configuration: state: on Product Name: Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Version 01.01 Identification: manf_id: 0x0156 card_id: 0x0002 function: 6 (network) prod_id(1): "Lucent Technologies" (0x23eb9949) prod_id(2): "WaveLAN/IEEE" (0xc562e72a) prod_id(3): "Version 01.01" (0xd27deb1a) prod_id(4): --- (---) and on the outside it says it's a Lucent Technologies orinoco 11 Mbit/s SILVER. I installed F7 test 1 on my old laptop to test it (it previously had Fedora Core 3, and I hadn't used it since Fedora Core 3 was the current release). So I can say that this is a regression since FC3, but I suspect that's not very useful. dmesg shows some interesting messages, but I couldn't get the most interesting looking one (about a possible circular locking dependency) to happen again, so I'm not exactly sure what caused it. However, I'll attach the messages.
