Description of problem: Wifi doesn't work in Mageia 2 beta 2. Using kernel 3.3.0 desktop 0.rc7 x86_64 I tried updating from Mageia 1 and also with a fresh install keeping only the /home partition. Mageia wouldn't even see the lan until I installed the iwlwifi-agn-ucode package and rebooted once more. Now I set up wifi parameters in drakconnect in text mode but i get an error: Failed to create host name resolver: Invalid host name run-parts: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/hostname.d/avahi exited with return code 1 Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; invalid argument. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 2 beta 2 How reproducible: Install Mageia 2 beta 2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Mageia 2 beta 2 2. Set up wireless 3. Try to connect

I have the same problem in beta3, it won't connect to the network even tough it is listed.
and can you _*attach*_ the output of dmesg and rpm -qa | grep iwl?
@ Diego Please test with Mageia 2 rc http://blog.mageia.org/en/2012/05/09/almost-there-download-mageia-2-rc-new-date-for-final-release/ Is the problem still there? If so, please reply to comment 6

I tried RC2 today. Still no wifi. It sees the networks but can't connect. # rpm -qa | grep iwl iwlwifi-agn-ucode-20120421-3.mga2.nonfree iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.61.2.24-5.mga2.nonfree iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.32.2.9-3.mga2.nonfree When I tried beta3 with all the iwl packages installed, using a wired connection, wasnÍ't able to connect either. The output of dmesg is here: http://pastebin.com/HEhwSRtq Regards.
Created attachment 2237 [details] dmesg of Diego Thanks, Diego :) Please attach here next time instead of giving a pastebin link

Summary: wifi centrino wireless n-1000 not working in Mageia 2 beta 2 => wifi centrino wireless n-1000 not working in Mageia 2 beta 3
Btw, I had the same issue with one of the kernel updates in Mageia 1. Wifi would not connect. Unfortunately, I can't remember the version with problems.
I found the solution! First, I tried the KDE live CD of Mageia 2 and it connected perfectly, but when I installed it on my laptop it didn't connect. I googled the problem and the solution is to set this parameter: bt_coex_active=0 Now I'm writing this from my laptop :)

Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja

And again, this bug is present in Mageia 3 Beta 2. I booted using the KDE Live DVD and the same thing happened: It sees wifi networks but can't connect until I set up the parameter, remode the module, reload it with modprobe and restart the network.
(In reply to Diego Bello from comment #11) > I found the solution! > I googled the problem and the solution is to set this parameter: > bt_coex_active=0 Where do you set this? My laptop with this wifi card, and th wifi just stopped working a few months ago. I really don't know when or if an update broke it. I don't have wifi at home so I don't use wifi every month, even.

I had to resolve to a hack, a shellscript I made for a friend erlier this year. After running the commands below, wifi works again, in case anyone else need this. === /sbin/rmmod -f iwlwifi /sbin/rfkill unblock all /sbin/modprobe iwlwifi ===
I installed Mageia 4 beta 2 and the wifi card worked without problems. I'll mark this as resolved.
