n900 wifi problem
 

Hi everyone;

I have problem with my n900. The problem is my device doesn't see my wifi and also other wireless connections. When i search the wifi, it starts searching but finds nothing. How can i solve this problem?

Thanks for everyone...

You could try bringing it down and up by

If sudo asks for a password you could also first gain root and then do these commands without sudo in front.

If that does not do anything, could you paste the output of

i wrote

sudo gainroot
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 down
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up

it says ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No Such Device

and i wrote

/sbin/ifconfig it shows something that very long

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

Question, have you got wifi-switcher installed?

You might have a module not loading, for some reason.
Check lsmod for wl12xx (there should be two mentions: mac80211 and cr7.

About the long output, you could shorten it by using grep

/sbin/ifconfig | grep wlan0

Could you also give the output of dmesg, preferably in a file that you can attach to a posting here on the board

I haven't got any wireless switcher. I uploaded the screen of long output.

Please paste the output to a file using the > operator

When done, you can find those txt files in MyDocs, after which you can attach them to your reaction when you post here.

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

Sorry but how can i attach them in my post. I can't find.

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

There is a little paperclip icon above the edit box. Only visible when you go advanced (or quote &reply).

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

i can't find it. There is no paperclip icon.

You might not have enough posts yet to be able to get attachment rights *shrug*. :(

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

You can add attachments in the web interface with the "Attach Files" area below the edit box as well. In some instances the toolbar above the text doesn't show for some people. (Skin dependent I think.) But the Attach Files box in the Additional Options area on hitting Quote & Reply to an article is always there.

Edit: StefanL may be right too... I think attaching happens after post 10? Dengo, you may need to post a few times to dummy-up you post count. ;)

Re: n900 wifi problem

the dmesg output is

wl1251: WARNING WLAN not ready
[ 135.171203] wl1251: ERROR unsupported chip id: 0x0

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

Please use logs. How is anyone supposed to see what's happening on your machine if you don't provide info?

I would like to see in your dmesg if your wireless module stops being recognized after you try to connect or if it always is.

I have not seen the output of lsmod either.

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

Sorry I attached my txt files by txt uploader because my posts not enough to attach something.

here is dmesg output :

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

Thanks, that's better.

Could you try removing the module with modprobe by running this as root?

This should remove the wireless module from your kernel.

After that add it back with

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

the output of modprobe -v -r wl12xx is

FATAL: Module w112xx not found.

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

Of course, my mistake. If the module wasn't found in the first place, how could we possibly remove it. right?

So, without trying to remove it, have you tried to add the module with the second command?

I am not sure, but something tells me you may have a hardware problem with your N900. Hopefully someone more knowledgable reads the thread here and is able to shed some more light.

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

when i try to add module it gives me same output

FATAL: Module w112xx not found

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

Have a look at the following

and make sure there is actually a module file name w112x.ko in the directory.

Re: n900 wifi problem
 

yes there is a module name of w112xx.ko
