No Wireless after pacman system update.
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2013 11:17 am
Hi guys, first of all, i'm italian, and maybe my english will be not correct at all!
My problem is:
I have a wireless connection on my raspberry pi, what is auto enabled on system start by netctl, whit the profile created using wifi-menu.
The same is for the other one: a wired lan.
All was working perfect, but after a full system update, done whit "pacman -Syu", i can still connect to the wired connection, but no wireless seem to work.
Googling for it i can read: "it's a problem whit the new firmware", "unplugging ethernet cable will make wireless works again", and other things like this. I connect directly to my raspberry using ssh, and i don't have a monitor to test the wireless whit eth0 down...
I don't know what is the real problem, i tryed a system downgrade using the old packages in the pkg cache... Someone whit the same problem? Maybe you can suggest a solution? I'm stuck on it because i need to install some things what can't be installed whitout system update...
Edit:
In the log i can see some packages upgraded like: iw-3.11-1-armv6h and netctl-1.4-2-any... maybe the problem is inside the "new" configuration? Ask to me for more info if you need, to help me to find a solution, like logs and outputs...
Edit 2:
Another thing what i can see in the update process:
Edit 3:
I found a monitor, now: unplugging ethernet cable, and disabling the netctl profile for wired connection, the wireless works again...
How i can make those 2 connection works togheter again?
