Kali - Atheros AR5007EG Connection problem

**b0thr1c** · 2014-01-19

Hello Everyone

I am b0thr1c and this is my first time on the forums

I have a problem with my wifi and I hope somebody can help me and that this post may help others with the same problem.

I install Kali Linux 1.0.6 on my Acer Aspire one AOA 110-aw everything works great expect my wifi, the adapter is a Atheros AR5007EG.
It see all the wifi AP's but can not connect to a single one, I tested with the follow security settings on the AP's: OPEN, WEP, WPA, WPA2
But it just will not connect to any of them, if I try to connect to anything with a key/password it just keeps asking for the key/password.

I will try and give as much info as possible and if you need more just ask me and i will get it ASAP

try this:
Open a console and then:
1. modprobe -r ath5k
2. modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=1

See if you can connect.

Thanks for helping

I have tried your commands and the problem still persists

Try on boot option for kernel: pcie_aspm=force
See https://lwn.net/Articles/449448/

Thanks serega111

I have tried booting with pcie_aspm=force. Still no go

dmesg | grep ASPM

Code:

[    0.151370] acpi PNP0A08:00: ACPI _OSC support notification failed, disabling PCIe ASPM
[    0.168849] pci 0000:03:00.0: disabling ASPM on pre-1.1 PCIe device.  You can enable it with 'pcie_aspm=force'
[    1.751882] r8169 0000:02:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control
[   12.957702] ath5k 0000:03:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control

Please not, the "r8169" is my usb wifi device that i am using to get on the internet and get this info on the forums.

Oops my bad, added pcie_aspm=force at the wrong place

i added it now correctly:

dmesg | grep ASPM

Code:

[    0.000000] PCIe ASPM is forcibly enabled
[    0.155396] acpi PNP0A08:00: ACPI _OSC support notification failed, disabling PCIe ASPM

but still not working.....
