Hello. |

A few hours ago I tried to upgrade from 2.6.26-gentoo-r4 to |
| 4 |
2.6.27-gentoo-r7. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
As expected, WLAN stopped working due to missing modules. I remerged |
| 7 |
madwifi-hal and madwifi-hal-tools contained in the overlay from allenjb |
| 8 |
to get the needed kernel modules. Afterwards remerged wpa_supplicant. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
But WLAN still did not work. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
So I booted to my prevoius kernel and found WLAN non functional there too. |
| 13 |
I switched the link /usr/src/linux back to the previous kernel and tried |
| 14 |
to remerge madwifi-hal, the tools and wpa_supplicant again. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Now the modules do correctly (I suppose) create the needed devices and |
| 17 |
the init scripts pull the interface up. But the boot messages complain |
| 18 |
about not having set WEP-Keys, which are set in the config file residing |
| 19 |
at /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. That results in my WLAN is |
| 20 |
associated to an unsecured access point in my area. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Since I did not touch the config files, I wondered if the standard |
| 23 |
location of config files regarding wpa_supplicant moved, but could not |
| 24 |
find anything related. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I tried wpa_cli to get some information, but it can't connect to |
| 27 |
wpa_supplicant. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So I tried to run wpa_supplicant manually: wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi |
| 30 |
-iwifi0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |

ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not supported |
| 37 |
Failed to initialize driver interface |

Now I am stuck. Any suggestions how to get WLAN back working? |
