Description Kevin Dupuy 2008-03-24 02:44:06 UTC

openSUSE 11.0 Alpha 3 ships with the "ath5k" driver for Atheros chipsets. This driver recognizes my Atheros AR2413 802.11bg NIC, and allows me to set it up in YaST, but NetworkManager apparently doesn't recognize any wireless networks. Even after a reboot, the card still doesn't come up.

Comment 1 Helmut Schaa 2008-04-22 14:31:03 UTC

Could you please attach /var/log/NetworkManager?

NetworkManager log as requested

Comment 3 Helmut Schaa 2008-04-23 06:55:39 UTC

Seems like wpa_supplicant cannot be started. Could be a duplicate of bug #375155 and bug #373654.

To verify that assumption please run "wpa_supplicant -d -u" while NetworkManager is running and see if you can get the networks then.

Comment 4 Thomas Kamps 2008-04-27 13:34:08 UTC

Same problem with openSuse 11.0 Beta1 (live KDE-CD i386)
With the Atheros 5212/5213 it works fine

Networkmanager Log with openSsue 11.0 beta1 liveCD

When starting wpa_supplicant manually:
linux:/home/linux # wpa_supplicant -d -u
dbus_bus_request_name[dbus]: Resource temporarily unavailable
Could not request DBus service name: already registered.
Failed to initialize wpa_supplicant

Comment 7 Thomas Kamps 2008-04-28 16:52:10 UTC

With liveCD the wpa_supplicant is running for me. But the device does not find any network.
I am using  a TP Link TL-WN 551G with a AR2413

Thanks for the info.

Could you please verify if "iwlist wlan0 scan" (executed as root) returns any scan results and attach the output of "dmesg"?
