CentOS 5 Networking :: Configure Atheros AR5212 Nic On IBM Thinkpad R40?
Oct 20, 2009
I just installed CentOS and I am trying to configure the network card on the IBM Thinkpad laptop. According to this doc about wireless setup (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless), I tried to load the ath5k module but I get "ath5k not found". Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
# modprobe ath5k
FATAL: Module ath5k not found
# uname -rmi

I've got a home firewall setup running CentOs 5.2. It's got two wired interfaces: inside and out and I'm successfully using iptables to filter and nat traffic in and out as expected. Recently I've added an AirLink101 AWLH4030 wireless nic that is recognized as the AR5212/AR5213 chipset. It appears that I have everything configured properly and I've eradicated every error encountered so far. Currently, I have my ath0 interface up and essid set but am unable to connect or even see the AP from my laptop. Here is a metric shit ton of debug/output for any networking gurus to ponder over:
Ethernet Devices:
Code:
alias lsEth='lspci -v | grep "Ethernet" -A 7'
Code:
lsEth
01:09.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105 [Rhine-III] (rev 86)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc Unknown device 1406
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 209

from time to time, wireless connection gets very slow, and i have to make it reconnect, and some times, restart fedora. The wireless card has an Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01). This happens mostly when i use Tucan Downloader, or Torrent, meaning, heavy internet use.

Just installed Ubuntu 9.1 on a Thinkpad T60P with an Atheros Ar5008 wireless network card. The problem I am having is that I can find my network name and it will even ask me for my password; however, when I type everything in, it seems to be connecting but never does and asks me for my password again. I have verified my password is correct and that my router is using WPA. Anyone else having this problem and is there a way to fix it? I believe the system is using the atk9 drivers.

I've been running Ubuntu 10.10 on this ThinkPad for a couple of months now, with absolutely no problems at all.The wireless was working fine earlier today out at a coffee shop. When I got home and turned the computer on, the network applet just showed a "Wireless is disabled" message.I poked around for a while, mucking with whatever I could (limited, unfortunately, I don't have great linux-fu) and doing the ritual reboot to see if that would get things going.I then spent some time reading through forum threads here, but didn't find any answers.Below are the results of the various commands as described in HOWTO post a Wireless issue (ticket) sticky threadMachine brand and model
Code:
Lenovo ThinkPad T60p
lspci -nn | grep Atheros

I have installed CentOS 5.3, and updated with yum update. I have kernel 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5xen.
I can't get my wirelss network to work, I have AR928X wireles network adapter.
Do I need to install a newer kernel and install ath9k or can I just downlad a driver without updating the kernel?
I'm new to CetOS and Linux so I hope someone kan give me a step by step guide to what I can do!

I'm trying to connect my newly installed CentOs 5.5 to the network. But although there is a cable connection that has worked well before with other distributions, the network configuration keeps telling me:"Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present. Check cable?"Here are the results of the /.getinfo network script:This is a university network that is working well for thousands of students, so the problem is not on the side of the network or the DHCP server.The wireless card is also not shown in the network configuration.

I recently purchased an MSI 740GM-P25 with an Atheros AR8131M gigabit ethernet adapter onboard. I have since discovered that it's not the easiest device to get working in CentOS (or any other distro I've tried, frankly). Anybody use this card and have instructions on how to get it working? I've got a lot of experience with Linux, but I've never been quite as good with hardware stuff as I probably should be. I've included a list of things I've already attempted below (limited as the list may be).
1) Tried both CentOS 5.5 x86_64 and Fedora 13 x86_64
2) Tried to download and compile the source code for three different Atheros drivers from their website (the Linux drivers listed here) in Fedora 13. All stated that I was using a kernel version that was unsupported (>2.4.0) when attempting to compile.
EDIT: Also, I contacted MSI directly for assistance.I got the simple yet incredibly unhelpful "we can't help you unless you use Windows" response. So there is no official support (and therefore no driver) provided by the manufacturer.

installing my wireless card Atheros AR9285.I have tried to get it working with both compat wireless - Ath9k driver but I dont know exactly how to do.I have also tried to get it to work with ndiswrapper, but it is really tricky because nothing is available in centos like precompiled ndiswrapper.I used to work with Arch Linux so everything in Centos is totally new to me and I don�t understand a thing:I need to get it to work as soon as possible.What I have read the should go to just "activate" the ath9k driver with my card and it would work,

Am having intermittent connectivity issues with my stock Atheros AR5212 on my Thinkpad X61 using Ubuntu 10.04. Am wondering if there is a known to be good b/g min-PCIe card that I can replace my AR5212 with that would be more solid in Ubuntu?

I'm trying to find a driver for my wireless card (Atheros AR928X) and I think it's ath9k what I need. As far as I know there isn't a linux driver for it, so I installed ndiswrapper to use a windows driver instead. The problem is that when I type modprobe ndiswrapper I get "bash: modprobe: command not found" (even as root). I know I'm missing something about modprobe, but I can't find any help on google. Anyway, I installed ndisgtk next, because I thought it would be easier, but when I go to System> Administration> Windows Wireless Drivers I get a message "Unknown error".Do you have any ideas on how I'll make ndiswrapper work?

I am unable to find Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Ethernet Controller driver for CentOS which is installed on my netbook.
I contacted DELL to provide me the driver and they said that they do not support Linux on netbook and I have to arrange it myself.
I told them that I don't need help in installing I just need the driver file to which they said that they don't have driver for Linux.
NIC is getting detected and works fine on the same netbook (Am dual booting Windows7/CentOS) with Windows7
When I type: ls -l /dev/ it does not show up eth0. Same result with ifconfig. When I type lspci | grep net it does show up something like Atheros Communications AR8132 L1 PCI Gigabit .

The Network card sees the Wireless network, but will not connect to the router. I have tried with and without security, and neither setting makes any difference. Using the Wired Network adapter does work when set to a STATIC IP.

I have installed CentOS 5.3 on my PC which has an Atheros AR8121/8113/8114 Gigabit Ethernet. Unfortunately 5.3 has no drivers for this LAN Card. I searched the Google for drivers but was unable to find any. Does the 5.4 has them? If yes then how can i upgrade it to 5.4 without Network connectivity?

I am brand new to this forum! I have spent some time on other Linux forums but based on my usage of CentOS I figured that it would be best to come straight to the pros. I've been using CentOS for a while now, mostly as a web server. Actually I use it as the base and installed Parallels Plesk Control Panel.
Anyway I want to setup a VPN and so far I haven't found any real solid documentation on how to do that! Yes I could install DAG/RPM Forge but what I really want to know how to do it from scratch. What I mean by scratch is that I want to download the tar.gz package from openvpn.net and then build it as required. I don't know much about building or compiling a package so that is why I have come here for help! I am guessing that I need to compile openVPN with openSSL and probably a few other packages... I could use openSWAN but I don't want to.

I'm replacing a USB adapter with a PCI DLink card that is an Atheros chipset. I installed 'madwifi' for the modules and can set the ESSID and WEP key manually using iwconfig and can get a DHCP Address using dhclient.
What I want to do now is bind this to the static IP that the USB device used to have, but I am not sure how to do this since Atheros chipsets show up as both wifi0 and ath0, with ath0 being the one that needs to have the connection info. I tried setting up a ifcfg-ath0 with the static IP information and the key-ath0 file with the key like I have for the USB device (which shows up as wlan0) but at booth ath0 isn't up and running, even with ONBOOT=yes. What do I need to do to get an Atheros chipset to boot with a static IP?

how to configure my network for web traffic.Here is my setup:I have the following virtual machines, (all guest are running on CentOS 5.3);
firewall: Smoothwall 3.0, (hardware, not virtual)
guest # 1: Apache http server
guest # 2: Qmail server
guest # 3: Proftp server
I want all of these services on different machines for security reasons, (mainly the ftp server) how do I route the traffic from the firewall to the different machines? I have been looking at setting up a reverse proxy, however, everything that I have read says that a reverse proxy will not handle the smtp/pop3 traffic. Can I just use a DNS server to route the traffic?
