Dear all,
I have a NetGear, Inc. WNA1100 Wireless-N 150 [Atheros AR9271] wifi
adapter. It works flawlessly with kernels 3.3 (with firmware-atheros
installed), but not with kernel(s) 3.4.
I can see it with lsusb, the modules (ath, ath9k_hw, ath9k_common,
ath9k_htc) all load, iwconfig and ifconfig see wlan0 (as wireless),
but I cannot connect. It makes attempts to get an IP, but fails
without connecting. (I'm using ceni.)
I'm running 3.3 now, but here is the system info:
Code:
root@debian[/home/finotti]# infobash -v3
Host/Kernel/OS "debian" running Linux 3.3-3.slh.2-aptosid-amd64 x86_64 [ aptosid 2010-02 Î?á¿?Ï?εÏ? - kde-full - (201009132215) ]

Let me know if there is anymore information I can provide.
Thanks,

I cannot find any information on this. Is there anyone with the same chipset who does NOT have this problem? Is there anything I can do to help find out what is going on?
Thanks,
Luis |

| Works for me…
Code:
$ uname -a

to debug this, we'd need more info - like the one above, dmesg and eventually your configuration.
Also check if you can scan:
Code:
# ip link set wlan0 up
# iw dev wlan0 scan

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-psk [removed password]
wpa-ssid 2WIRE158
Finally, here is dmesg:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Please install iw and crda, both are needed for modern wlan cards; e.g. in contrast to the deprecated iwconfig, iw can display if the router offers HT. My first suspicion would hint at the regulatory compliance arena (assuming you're using HT40+), also because because you're receiving an US country IE.
An interesting test would be to (temporarily) switch the router's wlan channel to 6. |

OK, the result of the iw command is here:

I snipped the output to show only my router. Let me know if the rest would also help.
I will try to change the channel soon. (It is a router from my Internet provider. I haven't had the time to put my own, as I need to reconfigure theirs.)
Thanks for your help!

Again, my router, again is the one with SSID 2WIRE158.
I'd really appreciate some help. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Best,

Thanks for the reply, seasons... I am at a loss, as it seems to be related to kernel, but apparently I am the only one with this problem.
@slh: the results I posted above give you no clue at all? I don't mind doing some searching and reading, but I have no clue about what to search for.
Best to all,
Luis |

It worked! Now, I will use it in my desktop, so fixed IP is even better, but I cannot help but wonder what is happening. Can any one shed any light on this?

OK, maybe not all is well with the fixed IP (or maybe is totally unrelated), but I cannot access my samba shares on the computer with the problem above...
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Best to all,
Luis
UPDATE: With 3.4, not I cannot even SSH the machine (so, not a Samba problem). With the same configuration (fixed IP and all) I can SSH and access Samba shares with kernel 3.3. |

| Please check "/sbin/ifconfig wlan0" for dropped packages, especially DHCP problems are often caused by these. If you can, trying to change your router's working channel might already help. Another potential reason might be the rate selection algorithm messing up, please also check "iw dev wlan0 link" and "iw dev wlan0 station dump", while you're (trying) to transmit some data (at least ping your router). I suggest to compare the values between kernel 3.3 and 3.4. |

Thanks, slh, for the suggestions!

I cannot connect at all with DHCP with 3.4. When connected with a
fixed IP, I see no dropped packages. (Still, I cannot connect to this
machine, via Samba or SSH.)

As I've mentioned above, I changed to channel 6, as you suggested, but
it made no difference.

and 3.4.
The results are below. First, working kernel 3.3 (while pingging the
router):
Code:

Now, with 3.4 (and fixed IP):
Code:

SSID: 2WIRE158

Here is the result after I unsuccessfully attempted to use DHCP with
3.4. I could not ping the router, as I could not connect at all. But
here it is:
Code:

I don't see anything there... If anyone has any suggestions, I am all
ears.

The problem is entirely solved now with kernel 3.5.
