Wifi card not connected after kernel update [solved]

Hi,
I've got a broadcom wifi card (BCM43225). Having deconnections with the brcmsmac driver, I changed for wl (from broadcom archive).
Today I updated the system and got the b43 driver. My wifi card would'nt see any network. On the networkmanager applet (gnome 3), tab "network parameters", it says "disconnected" and i can't find a way of reconnect my card.
I rebuilt the wl driver, it works as for the b43 (wifi card on) but still it's disconnected.
Extract of dmesg shows:
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Any idea ?
Thanks

It's weird: I had already installed b43 firmware from AUR but it didn't work (kernel 3.0). As I yaourted b43-firmware it said: "reinstall ?".
So I reinstalled and it f***ing works.
I'm not sure I got what happened...
Thank you though.

  • DKMS - module not compiled after kernel update

    Hello all,
    I'm using a USB Wifi Adapter which has very bad support : D-Link DWA160 B2
    I have followed the instruction from this excellent guide to add the driver sources to DKMS, to get it compiled automatically after all kernel update:
    http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/229-u … er-to-dkms
    Unfortunatly the 2 last kernel upgrade did not trigger the driver compile.
    There is no DKMS logs, and everything seems to be well configured.

    Are you using systemd? If so, you might have to reboot twice. The catalyst-dkms package (video driver for amd cards) in [community] currently has the same problems. I'd suggest for you to read the last few pages in that thread to see background information:

    Yes I do use systemd. Since I'm using a quite recent installation, it was included by default.
    At the next kernel upgrade I'll try this trick of reboot twice, and see if it works.

  • Wifi card not recognized after reboot.

    I've got a Lenovo X140e and an Intel wifi card. (Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260) that I installed myself, since the support for the Broadcom card it came with was spotty.
    If I reboot my laptop, the card won't show up with either iwconfig or even lspci. If I do a cold reboot (power down entirely and start back up), it will show up just fine.
    What gives?
    Relevant lspci output:
    01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 4b)
            Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260
            Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 38
            Memory at f1300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
            Capabilities: <access denied>
            Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
            Kernel modules: iwlwifi

    When the card is recognized, rfkill lists it as unblocked; when it's not recognized, it doesn't show up at all.
    I've got i3 installed; for connection management I've been sort of trying different things - netctl never works but wifi-menu has been pretty reliable. I haven't installed any special power management stuff at all - I'm not really sure how to find out what was auto-installed?

  • Broadcom-wl-dkms not reinstalled after kernel update

    I use broadcom-wl-dkms for my wireless card (Broadcom BCM4352 rev 03). All works well, until the kernel is updated.
    I expected dkms to rebuild the package automatically, but apparently something goes wrong in the process: after every one of the last few kernel updates, the module was correctly rebuilt on reboot, but not re-installed.

  • New powerbook - airport extreme does not connect after Tiger update

    Hi guys,
    I see a lot of people are having problems with airport right now. I just got a new powerbook that worked fine with Panther, went online without a hitch. I downloaded a couple of software updates but don't know which. Then I installed the Tiger software and since then the computer does not connect. It show a wifi signal but tells me it can't connect etc.
    Any ideas,
    Thanks

    Hi Sabina,
    I had the samething happen to me. I talked to tech support and they just had me click on the blue apple at the top- go to software updates- than I ran that...there was an update in there that corrected my problem. and I have been able to get get back my network!!
    so give that a try.

  • Device-mapper not working after kernel update

    Hi, yesterday i've upgraded kernel to 2.6.36 and I was so happily so i rebooted immediatly, but it ended up with error. that it can't found /dev/mapper/archarray-archroot, which is, of course my root partition.
    I'm using to raid1 partitions:
    /dev/md0 with boot ext2 partitions (archboot partition)
    /dev/md1 with LVM (volume group arrcharay, partitions archroot, archvar and archdata)
    When in sandbox i've tried lsmod and i see, that i have raid1,ext2,ext4(root partition),md_mod and dm_mod loaded(and some more of course), so i think there's nothing missing to fire-up root partition.
    I've tried to boot up install (from USB stick) and mount root patition with following:
    modprobe dm_mod raid1
    mdamdm --examine --scan >> /etc/mdam.conf
    mdassemble
    vgscan
    vgchange -ay
    And it worked, so my disk nor LVM setting is not broken.
    Only thing that i think i can did wrong, is that i've commented /dev/md1 entry in /etc/mdam.conf. I was confused by "name=archiso:1" because i haven't use "archiso" anywhere when creating LVM volumes. So i thought i will try it, and if anything go bad, i will undo this. But it worked ... until kernel update.

    It was problem with my badly edited /etc/mdadm.conf, so I'm sorry for this.

  • Public wifi not connecting after Mavericks update

    Ever since I upgraded to the new Mavericks OS I haven't been able to connect to wifi at work, which is a public access wifi that requires a login screen to be opened in Safari. I can connect to wifi at home or even wifi that is open, but if it has a login screen like at Starbucks, McDonalds or in this case my work, it says that my computer is out of range. The router is literally 10 feet away from me. I have tried "Forget This Network", network diagnostics, even entering in the IP, DNS and other perameters manually, but to no avail.
    Please help, this is extremely frustrating. I have been using my hotspot on my phone for an internet connection at work.

  • Network card not found after new installation [SOLVED]

    I broke my filesystem on my Asus UL80V series laptop in trying to solve problems related to the latest glibc update, so decided to do a clean re-install. I had an installation disk at hand: 2009.08 with kernel 2.6.30.4-1 (which is supposed to have the module for my ath9k network device). However after a successful installation (including all the files from base-dev), my network device is not recognised:
    dhcpcd: eth0: interface not found or invalid
    although network connectivity (wired and wireless) worked perfectly before the installation attempt.
    This happened yesterday (17th) and I have been scouring the web since trying to find out what the cause of this problem is, without luck.
    I also burned a new installation CD with the latest stable version, but no luck there, either! Got a message at the beginning informing me that the install requires 64 Mb memory, although my laptop has 4 Gb.
    I should say, the device is there and working:
    lspci | grep Net
    gives
    02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
    I also did
    modprobe ath9k
    just to make sure. No luck.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Argh, ip may not be around in the 2009 image really ;-) .. Use "ifconfig" instead..
    But: I meanwhile cross-checked your ath9k: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri … h9k_driver
    and it does not sound encouraging for the kernel you have there.
    The image is far too old anyway, if you ask me (would be a darn hazzle to get that uptodate I am sure). Pity you get that memory error with the 2011 one. Maybe check forums on that. Sounds very strange, I am not aware of any post I read.
    If you can burn another CD, you can try the recent ISOs as well: http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/
    Beware that the ones from July dont have the AIF setup anymore.

  • Virtualbox no longer works after kernel update solved

    and before you say.. read the wiki, use google, check the forums.. I DID..
    here's the message i got
    The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
    '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

    ive tried rebooting, loggin in and out a few times.. etc

    Last edited by binskipy2u (2010-08-18 21:30:09)

    when you install virtualbox_bin package,  pacman should have told you:
    ==> Run \`/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup\` as root every time your kernel is
    ==> upgraded, to compile the module for the new kernel version.
    And yes, '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' is likely hardcoded in virtualbox and does not reflect how your distro setup is.
    The Arch Way is to put service script to  /etc/rc.d/  instead of /etc/init.d
    also note that  the vboxdrv service script from virtualbox_bin is different from other distros
    and that /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv  isn't shipped by virtualbox_bin (hence you get command not found)
    in additions, vboxdrv from virtualbox_bin  has only   "setup" function

  • Driver compilation after Kernel update [SOLVED]

    Do I have to compile drivers again each time the kernel gets updated? It's just a bit annoying, was wondering if that was really necessary?

    And to be more specific: Obviously I meant if I compile a driver myself, and then the kernel gets updated, it seems I have to compile it again. Also, this is in the newbie forum for a reason.
    Linux is a monolithic kernel. All needed drivers/features are supposed to be compiled into the main kernel. However, this is infeasible due to the wide variety of hardware. Therefore, some parts of of the kernel are compiled out into modules that can be loaded into the kernel at run-time. These modules need to be recompiled every time the kernel is as they are really a part of the kernel and the kernel doesn't have a stable binary API.
