Hi, Plan9 newbie here.  

I downloaded the iwm firmware from OpenBSD and put it in /lib/firmware.
The /dev/kmesg shows...
#l1: '/lib/firmware/iwm-7260-17' does not exist

But it does.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!


P.s. I am running 9front on a Thinkpad (T440P).

After placing the file there, you need to rebuild and reinstall the kernel.
This puts the firmware in the paqfs, allowing the kernel to see it before
a root filesystem is mounted.

Ok...I recompiled the kernel...and I am getting this message...

I then try the following...but get no result.

Just one more step.

% ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether1

will do dhcp on the interface.
aux/wpa only associates with the access point.

ok...that's great.  Wifi is working now.  Thanks!

If I mistype my wifi password, it didn't let me try again.  I had to reboot if I mistype my wifi password--because I don't know how to to reset.

Same situation with the same wifi-card.
% pci -v
...
3.0.0: net  02.80.00 8086/08b1 4 0:a3100004 8192
Intel Corporation Wireless 7260

Firmware added and kernel rebuilded. Command:
% aux/wpa -p2 -s vega3 /net/ether1

asking password, returns '!' and exits. But next command ip/ipconfig returns:

ipconfig: no success with DHCP

DHCP is ok. It works good with other devices. DHCP-logs on server side
have not requests with wifi-card mac-address.
Trying to connect to mobile phone configured as hotspot takes the same
result - no success with DHCP.
Manual configuring:
% ip/ipconfig -g 192.168.7.1 ether /net/ether1 192.168.7.23 255.255.255.0

also not solve the situaton - ip/ping says about  lost packets..
% cat /net/ether1/ifstats
essid: vega3
bssid: 045ea4e8e2ac
status: unassociated
channel: 06
brsne: .....
.....
..big list of available wifi-networks

Tried also configure hotspot as open network, without authorization -
same result, doesn't connect.

What could be the problem??

I don't believe the situation is the same.
You are unable to associate with the access point,
which was not the same issue as our other friend here.

The issue is stated in the ifstats output:
> status: unassociated

This is the failure mode I would expect if your wpa password was incorrect.

Thank you for last response..
..Finally issue was resolved through a comprehensive mutual
configuration of various local network services =)) Main thing that it
was not a hardware issue or incompability with 9front..

There is some more questions..
1. How to  down network interface correctly??  In order to switch from
one essid to another without reboot..
2. Also found that factotum doesn't save added keys and they are lost
after reboot. What is not configured?? How to decide and which way to
look??

Hi
Facing a similar issue with intel wireless firmware 7265, on Thinkpad E450. Plan to use 9front as live usb to learn.
Found firmware @ https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/blob/master/itlwm/firmware/iwm-7265-17.
Unable to copy file in /lib/firmware as usb is categorized as read-only!

What to do?
Thanks
rraj

I would recommend installing the system first.
You can do this by running 'inst/start' from a rc window within the live usb.

Using a USB stick as a root filesystem is not something I would recommend.
If you're adamant on doing so it can be done, but I would advise figuring
out another solution. There are plenty of ways to go about fitting multiple
operating systems on the same disk or machine.

If you are stuck with a single machine perhaps using the system within
a virtual machine paired with drawterm would be less of hassle given
your constraints? If your goal is just to do some exploration this
would be a fine way to just get going and not worry about this magical
chair situation.

Hi

Many thanks for your suggestion. For now, i plan to use live usb!

Is it possible to create persistence on live USB? Web search reveals nothing. 

If it's possible, can someone please point me to the relevant procedures.

Thanks
rraj

I will not give instructions because I do not want to endorse or support a setup like this.
If you are choosing to not listen to my advice then you are on your own.

Good Luck!

it's not that bad IMO, but you will have to live with having to redo
everything and lose all the data.

i have installed to usb flash drives before for some short temporary
tests. no big deal, if you don't need to keep anything of it...

Hi

Is recompiling kernel same as installing new kernel ?

What is the command to recompile the kernel?

Hi

Recompiled & Re-installed the kernel after placing firmware file in /lib/firmware. Though still the message firmware file not found is there.

bind command did not yield any output, aux/wpa command returns command usage option, ip/ipconfig says no success with DHCP. cat /net/ether0/ifstats yields non-understandable output!

/net directory contains only ether0 & not ether1. How to determine essid/bssid?

Able to ping only host machine.

Thanks

Try:
pci -v

Also check wether firmware placed in fact:
paqfs /boot/bootfs.paq
lc /n/paq/lib/firmware

If output of second command empty then addition firmware was not
applied and kernel doesn't see any firmware. Try to compile kernel not
with single command "mk install" and sequentially:
mk clean
mk
mk install
After finish reboot system (maybe twice). After reboot check /lib/firmware

this is missing copying the kernel to 9fat. Read section 7.2.5 in the FQA.

Hi

I believe the mentioned step in your reply is for systems with a local disk.

 I am using live USB with hjfs.

Explain to me then how your usb install boots a kernel without a 9fat.
You likely have an incorrect assumption here. But I don't know, you
may have some boutique setup now.

Again I don't know why you are making things hard for yourself. If you
want to stray off the beaten path that's totally fine, but don't make
it everyone else's problem. I warned you about this.

Hi

Copied the kernel using: https://fqa.9front.org/fqa7.html#7.2.5 , firmware got added!

aux/wpa returns command usage syntax. cat /net/ether1/ifstats outputs 
essid <blank>
bssid ffffffffffff
and a list of available wifi, including mine.

But, i determined essid & bssid from aircrack-ng being different to what is mentioned above in ifstats.

Where is the error?

Thanks

Hi


Is there a specific format to write essid in aux/wpa syntax?


Thanks
