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?
I am preparing to install Debian. I use an USB-adapter for wireless network access, the chipset of the network card in the adapter is "Atheros AR9271". Using this adapter is my only means of accessing the internet.
For some reason I had a hunch that my adapter might not be supported in Debian. I started searching around and found that quite a few people have been having some difficulties installing it to work in Debian. So, when I will have installed Debian there seems to be a significant risk I won't be able to go online.
Since I don't have any other way of connecting to the internet, thus no other network card and no parallel computer to use, I will get in trouble when I have to try to get my adapter to work with Debian. That is to say, it will be impossible to search for solutions on Google, ask for help online etc. I want to forestall such a situation. Hence a few questions:
1) What exactly will I have to do in order to be able to use the adapter with Debian?
2) Is there any way of doing it without going online after I have finished installing Debian? I'm thinking about if it would, for example, be possible to include any required files in the installation package I will use to install Debian?
Just moved from Mandriva 2010.1 to Ubuntu 10.10 and am having problems with the wifi. It connects fine, but tends to grind to a halt every now and then. I always have this problem with Ubuntu... hence me migrating to Mandriva in the past. My card uses the Atheros AR5007G Wifi chipset. So, using ndiswrapper, I installed the windows drivers. Everything seemed to go okay. Yet, after a restart, I'm having the same problem. Which makes me think I'm still using the same old driver. So I added blacklist ath_hal and blacklist ath_pci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Restarted. And I'm still having drop-out problems.
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 have a centos 5 and i cant access to the LAN or Internet because , i cant create a network connection , i try to say My Ethernet dont appears,and i cant add any connections.i id thisTerminal:Quote:sudo iwconfig
I am using asus p5ld2-x/1333 motherboard,I installed the centos ,Centos saw other drivers but didn't see ethernet card.I am not connection the internet.
I am a developer, not a network admin - sorry if this ia dumb question. I need to test an application on CentOS 55 64 bit. The instalation went fine and initially I let DHCP work its magic. The router IP address ia 192.168.0.1 and all other VM's I have are granted dynamic ip address on this range (i.e. 192.168.0.x). However, the CentOS vm got an IP address that looks like it belongs on a different subnet :192.168.1.1
The VM (vmware desktop) network setting for this VM uses "Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network". I can ping the host (Windows 7 64 bit) and the host can ping it (it been the VM) - but no other computer on the network can see it. To make things easier, I changed the network configuration to use a static IP address. Here are my configuration files:
I'm having a bit of a problem with a CentOS install I'm working on.This computer is an Asus M2A-VM mobo with the latest bios and a fully patched CentOS 5.3 system.The system randomly freezes and I've been able to narrow it down to what i think is ACPI issues with the chipset since the system is rock stable if I use the ACPI=off option in grub. However, when I do, I get messages about OHCI and EGCI controllers not having the correct PCI IRQ or somesuch and my USB don't work. Since this system has a usb keyboard, mice and printer, that's a bit of an issue!The system boots fine but will freeze after a random amount of time, sometimes even during startup (after the X Window system has been opened).
I'm at the end of my rope here as I'm admittedly pretty new to Linux (about 2 months experience although I've succesfully set up 5 systems and a zimbra server in that time - slowly learning when I'm trying to do something) and I've been scouring the net to try and find a solution to no avail.I know this particular chipset seems to be very trouble prone if I look around but the only thing I could find about issues like mine was related to ACPI with the chipset but that supposedly solved in earlier kernel revisions (and I have the latest kernel).troubleshoot the defective part of ACPI on my chipset would be appreciated so I can turn off the offending ACPI "feature".
PS : I also get an error message when booting : ACPI expecting a [REFERENCE] package element, found type F7B953PC
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.
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:

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
Just installed CentOS 5.1 and it's not detecting my NIC. ifconfig produces nothing for eth0. This is a xen kernel.
I can't tell exactly what NIC this motherboard uses, the ASUS website doesn't seem to think we need to know anything more than that it's a PCIe Gigabit lan:

lspci indicates it's an Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114.
My HP laptop has a wireless network device, Atheros AR5007 802.11 b/g Wifi adaptor. I was previously running Vista on this machine, and today loaded CentOS 5.5. In system-config-network, this device shows up properly in Hardware and in Devices. Hardware device shows the right mac address. In General, I set Activate device when computer starts, Automatically obtain IP address setting with dhcp, and Automatically obtain DNS information from provider. I've left the DNS and Hosts page blank.When I try to Activate the device, I get
"Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06): SET failed on device wlan0; Invalid argument Determining IP information for wlan... failed."
I have tried nfs restart, to no avail. (When I do this restart, I get the usual OK on seven of the messages but Shutting Down NFS services " shows FAILED.) I know the wireless router is working because I am connecting to it from another machine.

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,

Perhaps someone has run across this problem I loaded CentOS 5.3 on an AOpen MP45-BDR workstation. It uses the Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset for the video graphics. It is officially identified as: GM45 chipset (Intel GMA X4500 MHD).
There are two problems. Using the "intel" video driver, the X11 server does not appear to support digital video cable (DVI interface). It is also stuck in 1024x768 resolution and I want it to display in 1280x1024 resolution. Using a DVI cable, the system boots and displays properly (GRUB and boot messages) until the X11 server starts, then the signal is lost. The system is configured with a dual boot (Windows XP Pro) and Windows operates properly and supports all of the features of the video graphics chipset (DVI and full resolution). So the hardware is ok.
The "intel" video driver has a description of "Experimental ..." so maybe there is an update to this driver or a replacement driver that supports this chipset. I checked the buglist and found CentOS bug ID 2951 which is somewhat similar. The user was utilizing the "intel" video driver and it locked his system but changing the driver to i810 was a work-around. My system does not lock. I did try the i810 video driver but the X server did not like it - it would not start. This makes sense since the description of this driver specifies support for the older Intel onboard chipsets.
It always fails when I try the sound card test. It says like the system cant detect the sound card. Sound Card: 5 series / 3400 series chipset high definition audio Module: snd-hda-intel
After searching about the issue, I found the information that installing kmod-alsa-PAE-1.0.20-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm and kmod-alsa-1.0.20-1.el5.elrepo.i686 would solve the problem. But even I downloaded and installed them, nothing changed.

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 trying to clone a working Centos 5.4 system onto a new box with a ASUS P5KPL-CM motherboard. I have done so by plugging in a Realtec lan card - but can't get the motherboard lan working. Googling tells me the motherboard has a Atheros L1E lan chip - but I have installed several kmod drivers from ELREPO - but still can't get the on-board lan working. So far I have installed:
kmod-atl1e kmod-atl1
I have just installed these with yum - but no new hardware appears in the network gui dialogue. Am I missing some step here - or is there another driver I should be looking for.
I am a newbie who's having trouble installing drivers for Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller.
I already have the drivers from my motherboard vendor, its just that i cant get them to run on my machine. I am running CentOS 5.5.....On the Sytem>Administration>Hardware (Device Manager) I can see the device listed. I am uploading the files for anyone who needs them. I know i need to run an rpmbuild, but i get errors when i try it..... also, i've tried to run atl1.rpm from ElRepo with no luck, i get an error saying Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo:
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 .
I have installed CentOS. I have two ethernet card (one onboard and one PCI). I am able to set ip for realtek ethernet card and my atheros(on board) is not shown in network ifconfig shows only one ethernet card (PCI) hen i gave the command lspci i got the following output
the Centos Server Edition , so glad I make that clear , my problem is the changes of my intern ip adress from the Centos server , and i wont to make it Static so it gets always the same ip.
I'm having strange difficulties in setting a static ip for my CentOS 5.4 installation. If I use DHCP everything is fine, but with a static ip I have no network connectivity. I have done this many times with RedHat/Fedora/Ubuntu etc. with no problems and now I have no idea what I'm missing or doing wrong. I have tried to set ip as 192.168.1.20 (anything below .100 will do). GW is 192.168.1.1 and NM is 255.255.255.0. This is all I have had to use with other distros, but now when I set these I cannot even access my routers admin page or ping it (192.168.1.1). (I just did this with Vista on my other machine and all worked fine).
i am trying to assign a Static IP address and for the life of my i cannot get it to work Can someone explain to me the easiest way to do it and if i restart the server it won't get lost either.
How would you assign a server a public static IP ?
Ok.. I guess to better ask my question... how to assign server public static IP centos? Like for example I am in the router itself.. where would I go to point ip 44.33.33.21. to ?> 192.168.1.4
