Description Adrien D 2012-10-21 12:31:51 CEST

Hi team Mageia,

The package iwlwifi-agn-ucode-20120421-3.mga2.nonfree.noarch.rpm don't work on my laptop.

I can detect wireless networks (i see SSID near me) but i can't connect to them.

I try on my Livebox and on a hotspot which no requires authentification.

I attach the output of lspcidrake -v

Thanks

Version: 2 => Cauldron

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-10-26 23:50:41 CEST

as you are using cauldron, please update you package first aka in the release: 20120909-1.mga3.nonfree

Hi,

It is 20120909-1.mga3.nonfree, excuse me. I have copy/past the package name from pkgs.org because i can't connect to the Internet with Cauldron.

Thanks

Hi,

I have the same problem.
My laptop device is "Intel Corporation|Centrino Ultimate-N 6300', version of iwlwifi is 20121225.

It was fine at Mageia 2

Comment 7 Kwangsue Park 2013-02-08 07:20:36 CET

Hi, 
I found the solution. it was a kind of bug from shorewall.
ethernet works fine but iwlwifi was not even though the device(my intel N6300) was ok and signal was very strong.

I have tried to downgrade the iwlwifi driver from Mageia2 updates. but it is not a solution for wireless internet.

Now, I found how to use iwlwifi

First of all, check internet with your iwlwifi only after disable shorewall service in "Manage system services by enabling or disabling them" in MCC > System

if internet works, go to /etc/shorewall/

edit /etc/shorewall/interfaces

there is eth0 only

you just add like below
 
net     eth0    detect
net     wlan0   detect <- add line

save and exit

it will be fine.

Thanks

I don't have the problem now.

It's solved for me with a kernel update ?
