CentOS 5 Networking :: Install RTL8185 Wireless In New 5.2 On Compaq SR1055CL?
Jan 19, 2009
I have been trying searching and reading for a few days now and I have had no luck getting a Encore ENLWI-G2 wireless pci adapter to install. I downloaded their Linux driver [URL]...and I keep getting errors on the makedrv (attached). I get a couple "make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build: No such file or directory. Stop. " errors but the modules appear to be there.
I have not touched Linux in 5 or 6 years, so pretty rusty. I have a call in at Encore support and will post their solution if they get to me first.

Running Linux mint 10 After the installation the wireless connection worked but it was very weak and intermittent. The icon would show 1 bar or none. iwconfig showed the rate at 1Mb/s. The same card worked fine in windows and on a 32bit version of linux. Installed new driver from realtek. Now the iwconfig readings look good and the icons shows 2 and sometimes 3 bars. But it will not connect at all! I even turned off all security on my router but it would not connect.

I've installed CENTOS 5.3 on my laptop, on dual boot with windows xp. The problem is that my wireless network manager doesn't find any networks. Another laptop with fedora 10 installed finds the network, so the problem is not the network. I guess it's a problem with the wireless driver / firmware, as i had this problem on fedora some time ago, and i've solved installing the firmware. Now i've installed the firmware, i rebooted, and it still doesn't find any network.

I just got a new Compaq CQ56 and installed 11.04 32 bit on it. Everything is great except the wireless is not working. I can't even get it to detect the wireless card.
iwconfig:
no wireless extensions
[URL]
Here is the link to the Compaq website. It doesn't say what brand the wireless card is.

I've just loaded Fedora 13 - my 1st Linus system - on my laptop. It went smooth and connected to the net via 'eth0'. But my wireless - an EVO610c Multiport W200 lan card - is invisible to Fedora. A couple of data points are:
[root@EVO ~]# ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:A53:BE:ED
inet addr:192.168.0.12 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I have the NetworkManager applet 0.8.1 (2 pc screens) but don't see the "Network' icon under System->Administration I've read that should exist. I have placed the latest 'Windows' networking file from HP (sp2956.exe) into my download directory. What must I do to 'discover' my wireless card? I suspect the use of "ndiswrapper" and have imported it into Fedora. All updates have been done via 'yum'.

I'm totally new to Ubuntu and have just set my laptop up to dual boot. It is an HP Compaq 6720s. I am running crunchbang just now. And am running Ubuntu from the live CD to look at things and familiarise myself.
My laptop has the Broadcom wireless card inbuilt. BUT.. I cannot get Crunchbang or the Ubuntu (8.10) to see the wireless. Is there some little thing I am missing or something that I should set up that I don't know about?

Installed 10.10 maverick on my compaq mini 110, activated the restricted STA driver... But under the networking drop down it shows wireless as enabled but I cannot actually see any networks, there should be about a half a dozen to see. Works fine under windows. Before the restricted drivers are activated ifconfig shows eth0 and after eth0 and eth1 but when I do iwscan eth0 or eth1 it tells me this action is not supported! I have tried reinstalling from cli but no difference?

when I had windows vista on this computer and my wifi went down for good. Well recently my girlfriend was having problems with her wireless and I put ubuntu on it yesterday and then it worked well that made me wonder so I installed ubuntu over my operating system on this computer.
I have not much experience in linux but I have tried most things I have read and when i went to the hardware drivers in the system's drop down a wireless driver doesn't show up I have no driver on here and of course after i wiped the drive and put this system on it i found the Compaq wireless drivers install (not sure if its real or not). I can get on line fine with an ethernet but that is inconvenient to me with the nearest hook up being a bridged network on my brother's computer or the home router which is 30 ft away.

I'm new to Fedora, I used to have Ubuntu 10 and found that some software I required would not work properly so I decided to Fedora under recommendation from a friend. I really like it but when I installed Fedora 13 on my Netbook I found it difficult to set up my wireless connection.

I've been trying to install CentOS 5.5-i386 on my office notebook (Compaq Evo N610c) but the installation hangs indefinitely after booting from the disc.The exact place where the installation hangs is during this particular line
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing enabled I tried various solutions like disabling the serial ports and installing with the necessary kernel parameters but this didn't do any good.

I installed Fedora 12 on my Compaq Presario c700 Notebook recently and had a great install. I installed ndiswrapper and installed the inf file for my broadcom 4311 driver through ndiswrapper as well. The installation of the driver appeared to go smoothly.
The only thing is that I still cannot connect to the internet. I aliased the driver as well to wlan0. I can not figure out what is currently the problem. I tried reinstalling the driver and I keep receive a message stating the driver is already installed.

I have a Compaq n610c laptop equipped with a w200 wireless card on the lid of the laptop. Works fine on XP. I recently formatted the HDD and installed Ubuntu 9.10. Wired network works fine and I've updated to the latest updates etc...However wireless won't work. I've followed the instructions onhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...ice/CompaqW200. Everything was going fine until I have to compile. I tried the make command and get the following.
Errors:
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-16-generic M=/home/gsoo/usb KERNELRELEASE=2.6.31-16-generic modules

On friday (5-28-10) I installed ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, and everything was just peachy, wireless worked and everything.Today (saturday 5-29-10) booted up to find that my wireless wouldn't work. I plugged up to Ethernet and that worked fine, i updated and everything, still no wireless. I google the problem, and have tried everything under the sun to get this darn wireless card to work. I'm pretty sure it's atheros but i am not sure. when i go to system -> admin -> hardware and drivers nothing shows up

I just installer Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix on my Compaq Mini 700EL, the ubuntu website says that everything works very well including the wireless. But for some reason the list of connection doesn't appear at all. It just says "device not ready" This is driving me a little nuts. It appears that the Broadcom drivers are installed. I typed lspci on the terminal and it says that the computer loads a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
I also downloaded the drivers even though they should be already in it. But I'm not sure.

I just checked the Realtek website and they have a new Linux Driver for the RTL8185. The new driver is dated 6/26/2009. So it is quite recent. I would have thought it might have gotten into FC11.
I have 2 questions. Has anyone tried it? What would be the steps to install it?

I installed a wireless pci nic in a desktop. The wireless nic works with puppy linux 5.0.1 using the built-in rtl8185 driver. I ran make and ./wlan0up, then ifconfig. I see the lo and wlan0. If I see wlan0, then I am assuming that the driver is working? I use the same driver in a laptop, but I just run the script ./wlan0up and never had to seek anp address. The card is an imicro wireless pci card. The access point is the apple airport. I tried the dhcp script, but get an error.

I'm trying to install centos 5.4 on a older compaq proliant 6500 server with raid it was previously used for windows server 2003 for several years but management wants it turned into a time clock server that will run linux, obviously there is no smart start software for centos on this model, is there some kind of driver needed, be aware that i only did installations on single drive servers and new servers that take centos right away with new raid adapters compaq raid controller 3200.

I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop and have one of those wireless light indicators. For me the light glows orange when the wireless is OFF and blue when the wireless is ON. In Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) the light was always orange, even if the Wireless was on, but my wireless worked right out of the box so I was grateful for that, but since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) I've noticed that my wireless light alternates between orange and blue frequently and sometimes flashes madly when wireless activity is occurring.
I was wondering if there is a fix for this as it can get quite annoying, the light sometimes stays blue for a while but will ultimately keep going back to orange and vice-versa, my friend who also has a Compaq Presario CQ61 (Revised model of mine) has his wireless light constantly blinking orange and blue no matter what.The wireless itself works fine, I can connect to any wireless connection and use it without having to install anything else, so it does work out of the box, which again, I'm grateful for.The wireless adapter is a Atheros AR5001 Wireless network adapter. Do I need to install additional packages or drivers to get the wireless adapter to work properly?

when I updated from 10.04 to 10.10 beta, I lost my wireless on my Gateway MX3410 laptop. In 10.04, the wireless Realtek RTL8185 card was auto-detected, worked with the default driver.
So I installed the linux driver version of Realtek RTL8185. Although the driver shows up in the "Additional Drivers" panel under "Administration", the computer is not recognising the driver.
Below is all the specs of the current situation.

OS: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)

Sorry for repeating the same old complaint but there doesn't seem to be a common fix: Wireless does not work on my Presario R3000 although SUSE 11.x lists the hardware in the Hardware Information list and the hardware is turned on. Network Manager doesn't display any wireless networks in SUSE while Win 7 can see 4 of them on the same machine. Ubuntu has no problem either

I am running openSUSE 11.3 updated with all the latest patches and I cannot connect to my wireless router. I am running Linux Mint 10 on the same type of notebook HP Compaq 6910p and it worked right after the install. If I take off the security WPA & WPA2 Personal I can connect. lspci -v | less shows this for my wireless card.
10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 1000
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 29
Memory at e4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
[code]....
I am using the same settings for both notebooks just can't figure out why openSUSE 11.3 won't connect. I get the prompt to key in my password, I've even checked the box to show password to make sure I was keying it in correctly. Everything was good but it just goes right back to the password prompt after it fails trying to connect.

I just finished putting openSUSE 11.4 on my Compaq Presario V5000. I have been trying for hours to find the answer of how to get my wireless card to work. I can't connect to my router wirelessly and the on/off button for the wireless mode does not light up when pressed.
As far as I can tell from what I have already tried, I have a broadcoamm wireless card. It is a bm4318. I have b43-fwcutter installed and I have tried updating my firmware through the terminal. I have also used 'sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware'. It appeared successful, but the laptop still cannot make a wireless connection.

I'm having some issues with my RTL8185 on a fresh install of Lucid on a quad core x64.It connects, but the signal strength is much weaker than it should be. I did some searching and found others with the same problem, but couldn't find any solutions. First off, I have build-essentials, and the kernel headers.I downloaded the latest drivers off the realtek website, started following their directions and got this on the first step:
Code:
pvfjr@acer-desktop:~/Desktop/rtl8185$ sudo make

new Compaq 510 laptop in which we installed Ubuntu 10.04. When Wireless is switched on it shows the available networks but won't connect. It connected on a few occasions but still we can't browse. The proxy settings are correct.Will installing wireless drivers help? If so, where can we find them?
