AzureWave AR5B95 support?

[ImJune]

Yeah, this card seems to not be support but the wifi connectivity app.


Any good tips?

Hi, above in red where the problem lie, now we need to understand why.

Please post the following info, open a terminal and type:

Code: Select all

ifconfig wlan0 scan

additionally, copy and paste the output of the commands:

Code: Select all

kldstat

and:

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep "ath0\|wlan0"

Finally, copy and paste the content of the file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf too, (redact you private info).

[ImJune]

Ok ifconfig wlan0 scan has zero output.

I don't see your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file and guess this is the problem: if so, try to add it, like this:

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: Select all

network={
ssid="YourRouterSSID"
psk="YourWpaKey"
}

once done, restart the network interfaces with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo service netif restart

please report back the output of the following two commands:

Code: Select all

ps auxw | grep wpa
ifconfig wlan0 scan

(wpa_supplicant should be running, list of available access points)

[ImJune]

$ ps auxw | grep wpa
root 14162 0.2 0.1 21696 5140 - Ss 3:50AM 0:00.13 /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant
root 14202 0.0 0.1 21696 5176 - Ss 3:50AM 0:00.15 /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant
june 14935 0.0 0.1 18740 2348 0 S+ 3:50AM 0:00.01 grep wpa

Does this look right?

[ImJune]

ifconfig wlan scan0 did nothing...

[ASX]

$ ps auxw | grep wpa
root 14162 0.2 0.1 21696 5140 - Ss 3:50AM 0:00.13 /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant

june 14935 0.0 0.1 18740 2348 0 S+ 3:50AM 0:00.01 grep wpa

Does this look right?

No, at any time only one instance of wpa_supplicant should be running, if happens to have more than one, try:

Code: Select all

sudo killall wpa_supplicant
sudo service netif restart

[ASX]

open a terminal, su to root with

Code: Select all

su -

for test reasons, we rename temporarily wpa_supplicant.conf

Code: Select all

mv /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.backup
killall -9 wpa_supplicant 

then, test as follow:

Code: Select all

ifconfig ath0 up
ifconfig wlan0 destroy
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 scan

you should get from the last command a list of available access point, is so continue with:
EDITED the command because of the .backup config file

Code: Select all

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.backup
dhclient wlan0

if connection succeed now you should see an IP address assigned to wlan0, and you should be able to ping outside:

Code: Select all

ifconfig wlan0
ping 8.8.8.8
