Help with WLAN setup 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago

Hi,

Can anyone help me to configure WLAN on my ClearOS home gateway? I would love to completely get rid of my old router. I have just installed the server, there is a wireless adapter already in place, but I need help configuring it.

Here is the output of lspci:

Code:

How do I need to go about it?

Re: Help with WLAN setup 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago

This is a completely different system from your previous posts as you have different NIC's.

Can I suggest you search the forum for "wireless" or "WLAN" for some ideas. Perhaps start with this post. If you are using 6.x you may even have the drivers built in.

A bit o/t, but have you installed the r8168 driver for your RTL8111/8168B card? It will perform much better than if it is using the r8169 driver.

Re:Help with WLAN setup 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago

Hi, Nick,

It is a completely different system, yes. This is my second Clearos gateway and it's a bit more up-to-date hardware wise.
As for your suggestion, I don't know what to make of that thread, since it's based around Clearos 5.2, it's now 7 months old and not making progress as far as I can see...

What really pisses me off is that I bought this Asus wifi adapter specifically for it's advertised Linux support, after ditching the previous one (which incidentally also had a Ralink chipset, go figure...). And the adapter boasts Wireless AP under Windows, to be sure. You can magine that I would really hate to have to go to Windows for my home gateway...

Thanks for reminding me about the r8169 driver. I faced a similar problem on the previous hardware (had a CentOS 5.3 gateway). I think I will replace that adapter completely, since I have a new PCIe NIC that I wanted to swap in that's if it doesn't use the very same chipset.

Re:Help with WLAN setup 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago
6.2 was supposed to ship with a load of wireless modules but it appears that the rt2860 and rt2870 drivers are missing and I don't know the story. I've no idea what wireless stuff is now built into 6.2 but iwpriv and iwconfig is there. You may need to track down your own driver and compile it then follow the thread I linked to for configuring it.

Re:Help with WLAN setup 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago

ClearOS 6.x uses a much newer kernel, and as such the wireless stack is better = better support for drivers.

The defaults ones built into the kernel is still fairly limited

Code:

You can install the compat-wireless-kmod package to get a whole load of wireless drivers (see elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-compat-wireless) and its available in the ClearOS repo's

Code:

yum install compat-wireless-kmod

Alternatively if your PCI ID is not in the list you can install the specific driver... Elrepo.org provide a whole suite of wireless drivers, which can rebuild if there is a demand.

To help properly identify your card chipset can you post the output of 'lscpi -nn' and the line for your wireless NIC

I also installed the compat-wireless-kmod package, as you suggested, but I seem to get a lot of warnings.

Re:Help with WLAN setup 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago

Based on your chipset PCI ID 1814:0781 you need the rt3562sta module from Elepo or the rt2800pci module from 'compat-wireless-kmod'.

EDIT: Try the Elrepo version if the rt2800pci version doesn't work - I've rebuilt it so that it will install on ClearOS

Code:

wget ftp://timburgess.net/repo/clearos/6.2/x86_64/testing/kmod-rt3562sta-2.4.1.1-1.clearos.x86_64.rpm

You'll also need the following firmware to be installed at the same time

Code:

wget http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/x86_64/RPMS/rt2860-firmware-26-1.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh rt2860-firmware-26-1.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh kmod-rt3562sta-2.4.1.1-1.clearos.x86_64.rpm

Note that even though we can get a driver to work, you may not be able to use it in 'master mode'. This is required to provide a working wireless network for others to connect to. Using a daemon package called Hostapd you can attempt to set it up, but its manual stuff for now...wireless support via the webconfig is in progress! You can grab a build of hostapd from the repo's

Code:

yum --enablerepo=clearos-updates-testing install hostapd

Assuming it worked OK (monitor output in 'dmesg') you can manage your wireless connection using the config at /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Re:Help with WLAN setup 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago

OK, I did the steps that you described and I took a look in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf as well as wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentati...istributions_hostapd
How do I test? What do I need to do next?

Code:
