Doesn't look like smolt really picked up much about the wireless card that I can see, I thought it would have. Not sure what info to provide, here's dmesg output about it: pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1 pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: cs: memory probe 0xf4100000-0xf41fffff: excluding 0xf4100000-0xf410ffff pcmcia 1.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia1.0 orinoco 0.15 (David Gibson <hermes.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski>, et al) orinoco_cs 0.15 (David Gibson <hermes.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski>, et al) eth1 (orinoco_cs): not using net_device_ops yet eth1: Hardware identity 0005:0002:0001:0002 eth1: Station identity 001f:0001:0006:0010 eth1: Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 6.16 orinoco_cs 1.0: firmware: requesting agere_sta_fw.bin eth1: Attempting to download firmware agere_sta_fw.bin hermes_dld: AUX enable returned 0 hermes_dld: AUX disable returned 0 Orinoco can actually do WPA now as of 2.6.27, but you'll need to get v9 firmware from somewhere. Like: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=tree In any case, can you add "-dddt" to the end of the Exec= line in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service, then 'killall -TERM wpa_supplicant' (as root), then try to reconnect? When it fails, grab /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log and attach it to this bug. That will shed a lot more light on what's going wrong. Since the WE-18 support in orinoco is so new, I'm not really surprised that it could be failing for WEP or open networks. ahem, I wish you'd reminded me that downloading firmware from GIT screws up the encoding ;-) recode utf8..iso8859-1 agere_sta_fw.bin And to do it, I had to acpi=off because the laptop would bomb, couldn't even get into init 1. orinico didn't like loading corrupted firmware I guess. Anywho, I'm attaching the logs. For giggles I've tried my unencrypted AP and my WPA AP. Neither would connect. Created attachment 339776 [details]
WPA Supplicant log with -dddt as described
This bug has been triaged -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I am experiencing the same issue with my system. The stranger part is that the older kernel (2.6.29.4-167) works, but the newest kernel (2.6.30.8-64) does not. I have already tried re-installing all associated apps and firmware but I have yet to determine the issue. (In reply to comment #7) > I am experiencing the same issue with my system.

If not, could you file another bug report your specific issue? Walter: does this still happen with latest F11 kernel updates (2.6.30.9-96.fc11) ? This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping CLosing due to lack of response. Walter, if this still happens with a recent kernel (latest is 2.6.30.10-105) please re-open. Thanks! |
