Hi all! Recently I bought a Thinkpad T530 notebook where I installed Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy. On this computer I decided to do the installation on multiple encrypted partitions. This I could do from the installer without problems and then enter passphrases, Debian boots smoothly.
But I'm having some problems with wireless interface (for which on the installation I had to enter the Debian firmware files from a USB pendrive: firmware-iwlwifi_0.36+wheezy.1_all.deb). The wireless interface is Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (Rev 34). I have another host with wheezy configured as AP with hostapd but the notebook is getting a timeout in receiving the beacons and fails to associate with the AP. Researching the internet I found someone with the same network interface was having the problem and solved it by upgrading to Linux 3.10 (although I think using another distribution) as 3.2 to 3.10 there is significant improvement in the drivers. The problem I had is that after installing Linux 3.10 from Backports, I could not start the operating system since then I enter the passrase. The system does not boots and does not even indicate if the password is correct or incorrect. If I select 3.2 to boot, also I have the same problem even though that worked perfectly. It seems that something similar was happening in Squeeze: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678636 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=688846 Anyone experienced this problem with Wheezy? Thanks in advance for your reply. Regards, Daniel -- Fingerprint: BFB3 08D6 B4D1 31B2 72B9 29CE 6696 BF1B 14E6 1D37 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze - Linux user #188.598
