Wlan problem no clues yet

[mdyehiya]

I'm unable to connect to the wifi after last week. There were no changes in the hardware setting;
I suspect may be due to update I receive constantly.

Can anyone help me fixing this issue.

Hello mdyehiya

Try booting with the previous kernel from the grub boot menu.

Quite a lot of people are having trouble with the latest kernel and if the old one works then it's sensible to wait for a replacement.

If that works for you, there is a way to make that previous kernel the default for the time being to save having to select it each time.

There is also a way to preserve more than two kernels on your system. after all, if you follow the strategy above and and a further updated kernel is broken you will have lost your working kernel in the upgrade.

Post back if you want any pointers on any of that.

I am having the same problem with my wlan and the b43 driver. This started when I upgraded to 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 from 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 . Dropping back to 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 fixed the problem. My wap_supplicant log file was basicly the same as mdyehiya was.

Thanks for the suggestion bbfuller.

Thanks guys, that really solved my purpose...
Now I'm able to connect with my previous version of kernel

You do not have to rollback your kernel. If you compiled ndiswrapper, and did NOT yum it, then you must REcompile it every time you update your kernel. You do not have to reinstall the drivers, and reedit the config files, you only have to recompile ndiswrapper itself and reinstall it.

This may help you with your wireless, in the future, as it does for many people: http://linuxintro.com/?action=ViewEn...e=900072752405
Please do not mind the appearance at the moment, i am in the middle of remodeling right now. Also, the "Prev" and "Next" links have to be fixed, so to find the next article in the series, from the main menu, go to Distros - > Fedora and then click the next one.

Hope this helps you too
