Hi there!
Sorry Alejandro, but that link didn't help very much...
iwconfig shows:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=off
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Encryption key:87A7-2DD9-4D Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
'dmesg' shows the following:
iwlagn 0000:14:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
iwlagn 0000:14:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x1 (was 0x40100102,
writing 0x40100106)
firmware: requesting iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode
iwlagn: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch
wlan0: Failed to config new SSID to the low-level driver
iwlagn: Error sending REPLY_WEPKEY: enqueue_hcmd failed: -5
mac80211-phy0: failed to set key (0, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) to hardware (-5)
wlan0: Failed to config new SSID to the low-level driver
iwlagn 0000:14:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
--> again, this rfkill-issue. The switch is in "on" position, the LED in the
display shows "active", but the driver thinks its off :-(
Try to enable it manually:
iwconfig wlan0 txpower on
iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=-1 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Encryption key:87A7-2DD9-4D Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
OK, looks better (At least we have TX-power now), lets try to scan the
area ...
iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
And now ???
Thanks for suggestions
