Hardware :: WiFi USB Dongle Not Seen
May 10, 2010I'm running Debian Squeeze on my desktop computer. I have a USB dongle of italian brand Dikom (they just re-brand Chinese products). It has a Zydas ZD1211B chip. Now, according to this, drivers for that chip have been included in all distros for a while. And yet, Debian doesn't want to know about my dongle. Wicd can't connect, the system doesn't seem to do anything with hotplugging when it's inserted, and lspci doesn't list it. What to do (short of threading Ethernet cable from one end of my home to the other)?

Aug 20, 2010I'm shopping for a Bluetooth dongle and I'd like to find one that "just plain works" with Lucid. I've searched and found a few posts about bluetooth, but nothing encouraging so far. Hopefully someone is using one and can vouch for its compatibility with Lucid.

Ubuntu Networking :: Getting USB WiFi Dongle To Work?
Nov 19, 2010I've bought this Blumax USB WLAN adapter 9009 (ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter). I was specifically happy to read in its specs that it supports Linux [URL].
However, it turned out that the co-packaged CD drive doesn't contain anything Linux-related, and the support page online has gzip package with many files I don't know what to do with [URL]. The online support swallowed my query and hasn't returned any answer.
So, now I am wondering what to do. I don't feel so competent as to be able to compile the drivers on my own, specifying several specific parameters. At least it doesn't compile with default params. how to move forward with this. Apart from returning the device, because I'm too far now from the place where I bought this.

Hardware :: Get The AWU212n Wifi Dongle To Work With Debian?
Sep 6, 2010I have a AWU212n wifi dongle that I would like to use to get a debian computer to connect to connect to the network. There aren't any linux drivers and it seems to need a realtek program to connect. I'm running debian Squeeze. Wine doesn't work to run the installer, I don't know if I copied the realtek program from a windows computer and ran it with wine if it would work then or not.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Can't Connect Asus N13 Wifi Dongle (Ralink RT2870 )
Nov 7, 2010Im a Linux newbie and am running OpenSuse 11.3 (Gnome, 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop Kernel) and Ive an Asus N13 wifi dongle (linux compatible). I currently connect using my laptopś internal wifi but I bought the dongle due to trouble with weak signal. It came with some sort of code that can be "compiled" but I havent got a clue how to do that (and I have been researching this matter for quite some time now). I then came across a post where someone with the same USB stick created and added only two small files to his filesystem and it worked...for him (maybe becasuse he was on a different Distro )
Ralink RT2870 USB Stick and created the two files mentioned in the post (network_drivers.rules and network_drivers.conf) and placed them in ETC... etc, etc! I rebooted the system but NetworkManager only lists it as "device not ready" ... So now back to square one.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wifi Works OK For 9.04 And 9.10 But Not In 8.04?
Jan 4, 2010i am always using the latest version of ubuntu,but my main board of my acer5520g broke down under 9.10 last month,the acer company changed my main board and i installed 8.04-i386 LST for safety. but i find the wireless card does not work, i search the google for help,it seems i should install madwifi,but i found no valid download,after a lot of attempts i surrender. SO i put up this question i need a driver for my wireless card (notebook type acer5520g ,wireless card AR 5B91(detected under windows (though i am a big fan of linux and a supporter,i am using two systems and waiting for the 10.04 LST to save me from virus braced windows)
i even can not detect the wireless card under ubuntu 8.04 but it works ok in 9.04 and 9.10 after the installation.
Ubuntu :: Wifi Works With Gnome But Not KDE?
Oct 25, 2010i just installed the basic KDE desktop environment using synaptics from within gnome. although KDE seems to be working fine, i just cant seem to find out how to configure my wireless internet connection. in fact, it looks like KDE doesnt even recognise the wireless for some reason. i did find the network and connections section but there doesnt seem to be any way to configure the wi-fi. i remember with gnome it was so easy that i barely noticed it!
View 1 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5 Hardware :: RTL8187B WLAN USB Dongle Support In 5.3?
May 4, 2009I am considering installing CentOS 5.3 on my laptop, and currently the only thing stopping me is the WLAN in the computer. This laptop uses the RTL8187B USB dongle chip as the internal WLAN card, and support for it was only "recently" added to the kernel. Now, I know CentOS uses the 2.6.18 kernel, though not as "such", but rather its API, and have a LOT of hardware support, security updates and enhancements found in recent kernel releases backported to this kernel version (or rather kernel version API). This particular piece of hardware support was tricky at best and only began to appear in the Linux kernel up until version 2.6.24, which I do believe introduced a heavy change in the kernel driver API or something to that effect,
which would mean that driver code from a more recent kernel release (say 2.6.26/27) may not be all that portable to an older driver API version, hence, that's why I ask if support for hardware that has been only recently added to the kernel may be found in the CentOS kernel. I do not know how much further tweaked the CentOS kernel is in regards to the RHEL kernel, so I guess I could find out whether support is there or not by poking around the .src.rpm for each kernel (RHEL 5.3 and CentOS 5.3) and see, I was hoping, however that someone would know without having to poke around the source packages and the patches.

It will work for a few hours just fine, then suddenly disconnect and try to ask for my password several times before giving up. It's not the network--another computer on a different OS is having no such problems. Also, my wired ethernet connection works with absolutely no problem.

Jun 12, 2011just joined the forum so I am a little lost. I am trying to get my wifi to work on an HP Pavilion tx 1115nr (tx1000 series). I am using Ubuntu 10.04 desktop, my network card is BCM4311 rev1.I have read many threads and tried about everything, but I am so close. I can load bcmwl-kernel-source from the software center, restart and my wifi works for that startup. If I restart my computer again, it no longer works. I can then remove bcmwl-kernel-source and reinstall it and it works just once again.I have blacklisted b43 and ssblsmod reveals that these modules are missing after restart when wifi doesn't work:

Ubuntu Networking :: PPTP Works Over Wifi But Not USB Modem
Feb 19, 2010I am running 64-bit 9.10 on a Acer Aspire 1810T. I can connect to the internet via both wifi and the Novatel U998 modem. I have a PPTP VPN that works correctly via wifi, but does not work via the modem. The obvious problem would be that the ISP is doing something... but I'm dual booting Windows 7, and the ISP's Windows based software is able to connect to the VPN without issue.
I'm running VMWare player to be able to access my required Windows apps, so I'm almost in a position to dump MS if I can get this VPN issue resolved.
Ubuntu Networking :: Wifi Works But No Internet Only On (10.04) Side
Oct 24, 2010Wifi Works, but No internet When I'm directly connected to the Wifi router, via LAN cable, I have internet (this is how I'm posting now) I have a desktop computer, this is also the same problem. Because of this it hasn't updated to 10.04 yet. Its still at the version previous (9.??). Might be relevant. This problem began when my wife's Mac had an update that killed her Wifi access, and we had to reset the Wifi Router. She didn't change anything, we just re-inputed all the data as before (passwords, ID). Since then I can't access my internet even if I can connect to the wifi.
Other Observations In the office, my Laptop's ubuntu side has no problems with accessing Internet through the wifi. My Windows side is unaffected (both Desktop and Laptop). One time I can connect, but when that happened on that same day she can't. Possibly a fluke or coincidence. I read the post of a similar matter, where the person's Empathy still works. when I tried check if that was the case with me, after getting my Empathy to work it began to work again. But this hasn't worked in a succeeding attempt. Below is my system information if it may be relevant.

Ubuntu Networking :: USB Wifi Adapter Works But No Browsing?
Dec 19, 2010HPG62-144DX notebook, Windows 7 and considering Ubuntu. I installed 10.10 and tried to get my wifi running but that wouldn't work. I had a connection only sometimes and it broke up after 5 minutes. Once I got a webpage but annoyingly slooow. Got the advice to update drivers and stuff. But the wifi connection is the only one I have...
Went back to 10.4 32-bit. Booted from CD and will keep it that way until this is sorted out. Now I see my wifi hotspots directly and I have no problem to establish a connection. The icon shows 3 bars quality. Network Tools says: Wlan1 = Realtek, Transmitted bytes xxx Received bytes yyy, no errors, link speed = 1Mbps, State = active. Looks good!
The only minor thing here is that enabling/disabling my internal Atheros antanna also enables/disables my Alfa USB Wifi adapter (based on Realtek 8187) but who cares. A bigger problem is: when I start Firefox it doesn't come up with a webpage. It just keeps on saying: "loading". At the bottom of the screen it keeps saying "Looking up" for ages. Nothing further.
OpenSUSE Wireless :: WiFi Internet Works On LiveCD But Not After Install
Nov 15, 2010I am super new to linux. I have tried a lot of distros but went with OpenSUSE11.3. I have both gnome and kde live cd. Now to the problem, When I put in the live cd and boot - the computer finds the wireless card and lets me connect to the internet. This works on both versions. But after clicking on the install icon the wireless no longer starts and then I cant get it to work. Maybe its something I should be doing. After all I am new to this.
