Wifi On Zalarm
« on: May 11, 2017, 10:27:11 am »
Hi all!

I've recently installed ALARM on my C3000 previously running zUbuntu (and before pdaXrom). Good job!

I'm trying to connect to a wifi open network with my PRISM "AmbiCom WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card".

I think there is no wireless_tools and hostapd installed on alarm-zaurus-c3x00-minimal-rootfs-october2016. Isn't it?

I purchased a ethernet USB dongle but hasn't arrived yet.

Can I manually install required packages and dependencies?

Hi Bort,

you indeed can update using the pkg files from the official mirror:
http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/arm/

but I have not updated the roofs for a long time, so the current packages may fail.

Use this mirror instead to find older packages from the time the roots was released.
http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/

To install the package, run "pacman -U packagename.tar.xz"


This reminds me to update the kernel and rooftfs...I will look at this in the not so far future.
Also I need to add these WiFi packages to the rootfs, good point.  

Cheers!

Greg

Thanks Greg!

Which arm version of package i've to download? "arm" is the right one?

EDIT: "arm" version worked like a charm :-)

I've installed:

Code: [Select]
wireless_tools-30.pre9-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz
dhclient-4.3.5-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz
libnl-3.2.28-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz
hostapd-2.6-3-arm.pkg.tar.xz

Wifi card now get recognized

Code: [Select]

[ 2964.949720] pcmcia 0.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 (IRQ: 217)

[ 2965.283956] wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0

but still can't connect to my open wifi AP :-(

Just after booting iwconfig shows:
Code: [Select]
wifi0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"test"  
          Mode:Master  Access Point: Not-Associated   Bit Rate:11 Mb/s  
          Sensitivity=1/3

          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Then I try the connection:
Code: [Select]
iwconfig wlan0 essid "G2miniGG"
iwconfig wlan0 enc off
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 nick zaurus
iwconfig wlan0 key off
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhclient wlan0

dhclient take long time...

This is iwconfig output

Yes, you may need to update the firmware version to 1.8.2 before you can connect to a WPA enabled AP. Don't use version 1.8.4 as there are issues.

This site explains it all and has the firmware files. http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/

Take care, you can fry your card if flashing the wrong file.

Use Ubuntu and hostap-utils package or the attached hostap-utils for Arch Linux ARM.

No guarantee this will work, I just compiled it and did not test it at all.

Check also this Omegamoon blog : http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/comments.php...ry090823-223248

Good Luck!

Your hostap_utils worked on my Z like a charm :-)

Now my firmware is upgraded to 1.8.2 but i still can't connect to an open AP and scan doesn't find any network.

Same behavior as Ubuntu distro. I'm quite sure the card is working well because kismet on Ubuntu was finding networks.

EDIT1:Blacklisted again orinoco drivers and iwlist wlan0 scan now is working...

Well, at least some progress. You can try a different open AP or try one with WPA2 AES/TKIP.

Do you get the same errors ?

Do you have maybe a MAC filter on the access point  enabled ?

Sorry for the late reply. Meanwhile I've purchased a USB-LAN adapter... and a powered USB HUB.

In next days I'll try different AP settings but I'm pretty sure there is no MAC filter enabled. :-)

I'm closely following this thread, since I'm also trying to make my wifi card to work under Alarmz. Please let us know if you'll manage to make it work. On my Akita, even with the orinoco driver blacklisted and lsmod orinoco confirming that it has not been loaded, iwlist wlan0 scan still returns no results. My card has the 1.8.4 firmware, I'll try to flash the 1.8.2 one and see if it makes any difference.

Well to be honest, I am not sure, but there may be issues with this card on newer kernels. Can you confirm the card works in stock ROM or a 2.6 based ROM ?

Certainly more troubleshooting needs to be done. If the firmware upgrade did not fix the issue, please check the ArchLinux ARM WiFi wiki to make sure you followed the right steps.

I can provide a howto on the D-Link 660 CF card that also uses the hostap driver and works fine with WPA2 networks.

I just got into this issue when testing WiFi on Void Linux.

The issue seems to be related to the state when bringing up wlan0, as it enters "mode master" and acts as a access point. You can verify that by using "WiFi Analyser" app on your smartphone.

To fix this and list all available networks:

Code: [Select]
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid any
iwlist wlan0 scan

for WPA2 , follow the normal wpa_supplicant guidelines.

Well to be honest, I am not sure, but there may be issues with this card on newer kernels. Can you confirm the card works in stock ROM or a 2.6 based ROM ?

Certainly more troubleshooting needs to be done. If the firmware upgrade did not fix the issue, please check the ArchLinux ARM WiFi wiki to make sure you followed the right steps.

I can provide a howto on the D-Link 660 CF card that also uses the hostap driver and works fine with WPA2 networks.

Hi greguu, I can't get the D-Link 660 CF card work, can you provide a howto on getting it work on ZALARM?
Thanks.

I'm closely following this thread, since I'm also trying to make my wifi card to work under Alarmz. Please let us know if you'll manage to make it work. On my Akita, even with the orinoco driver blacklisted and lsmod orinoco confirming that it has not been loaded, iwlist wlan0 scan still returns no results. My card has the 1.8.4 firmware, I'll try to flash the 1.8.2 one and see if it makes any difference.

Hi cain2pang,
you need to check first if the firmware version your card has needs updating. See my most here https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?topic=34552.msg283117#msg283117 for more details.

Secondly, make sure the hostap driver is loaded only and not the orinoco_cs driver. You may need to blacklist the orionoco_cs driver first for the hostap driver to load.
You can check this via "lsmod" and see the ArchLinux guide on module blacklisting.
I recommend to test to connect to an unsecured AP first, then enable WPA2 later once you got a connection to rule out if the issue is wpa_supplicant related or not.

What kernel and rootfs are you using ?
Cheers!

Hello dear Zaurianer,

I need help please. My WIFI-Card is not working. I updated my D-LinkDCF-660W to 1.8.2.

Code: [Select]
NICID: id=0x800c v1.0.0
PRID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
STAID id=0x001f v1.8.2

iwlist wlan0 scan, works and orinoco_cs driver is blacklisted..

I start wpa_suppllicant with:

Code: [Select]
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wext -B
My wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: [Select]
ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
ap_scan=1
eapol_version=1

network={
ssid="mywifi"
psk="12345678"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
}

wpa_cli says:

Thanks and greetings,
Rene

Try running the wpa_supplicant command with -dd instead of the -B flag, to get a more verbose output.

Hello Varti,

I don't see any problems with -dd (too much for manual copying ;-)), but I get an authentication error.

It works with an unsecured WiFi. I tested 3 different CF WIFI cards with the same result.

I switched to Void Linux. I got a kenel dump on Arch, when I started Pacman-Syu (on the 1000 and 3100).

Greetings and thank you very much,
Rene
