Debian Configuration :: Can Connect To Internet By WiFi But Won't Show Networks
Aug 28, 2015
I just freshly installed Jessie on my Dell Inspiron 5110, I configured the network on the installer and had no problem. I can browse the web, get updates and install software.
But I can't find new networks. It just show "No Networks".
lspci -vnn

I know Windows forward and backward but I am so new to linux it's just wrong. I just installed fedora (like 1hr ago) on and old toshiba laptop with a WiFi PC card. Everything seems to work fine except. My Networks connects to my home Wifi network but it will not connect to internet. When it connects the IP address isn't even close to being in the same range as my other laptops and PCs. Like I said I'm new to linux but I'm wanting to learn. Any fixes for this issue? Which linus book is the best one to read for a beginner? Other then not connecting to internet I have no complaints.
I recently installed Lenny but have not been successful using the wireless. have previously used Ubuntu 8.04 where the wireless worked without problems (network-manager).I have also tried to install wicd but that too does not list any available networks. I have presently reinstalled network-manager
I installed Debian sid recently. I installed the B43 driver and wireless is working just fine at home and elsewhere. I can't connect to the wireless networks at school though. There are two networks, one is unsecured (and you have to enter your login details after connecting - I can't connect at all though), the other is secured. I was previously using Ubuntu, with network manager, and I have all my settings the same for the secured network as I did in Ubuntu. In Ubuntu I can connect to both networks just fine. In Debian I can't.
I did a netinstall earlier today (latest version, amd64) on my Dell XPS laptop and ended up with a minimal installation because I couldn't connect to the internet. Now I'm trying to get online without a desktop environment.
I have an Intel Centrino 1030, so I downloaded and installed the firmware [URL].... with a usb, then rebooted. My searches have turned up a lot of instructions involving a utility called iwconfig and wpasuppliant, but these are apparently not installed. I don't really know much about it, but my /etc/network/interfaces file looks rather empty:
Code: Select all# The loopback interface  auto lo  iface lo inet loopback
Shouldn't there be something like wlan0 there? The network card does show up with lspci
i just installed debian on one of my cvomputers that is more than 20 away from the wirless router router in the house and i can't get it to connect to thew internet via wifi i did this i went into system>administration>network and i sawmy wirless card and enabled it (a progress prompt came up for about 5 minutes) then i clicked properties and entered all of the information about my wirless router (i thought it would've scanned the area for any wirless ap) then i clicked okay and no dice, i went into the web browser and i get an error. what did i do wrong? how do i make it connect to the internet via wirless i have 2 wireless cards connected to this computer (sometimes linux doesn't kije the internal one so i connect the usb wirless card that i got)
I've been using Debian for about 6-7 months now. I've had a bit of a major networking problem for the past 4 months or so that I've been trying to fix - specifically, it started when I upgraded to Jessie. I can connect to wifi just fine, and sometimes I can even use the internet for brief periods of time (exceedingly rarely). Then... nothing. No network access, period. I can't ping any outside servers, I can't ping other computers on my network, and I can't even ping my router. Pages I try to load just stay "connecting" for all eternity, network printing fails, and so on.
So after four months of searching online (I've read through way more wireless documentation than I care to say), I finally gave up and admitted that maybe I screwed something up during upgrade to Jessie (as a matter of fact, I did, I had to do the upgrade in two increments [somehow] because my root partition was too tiny by mistake) and I did a clean install. Since I had /home on a separate partition, I was able to keep all my user files, but all settings regarding networking were wiped. So after installing firmware-iwlwifi so I can use my wireless card, I tried connecting to wireless! Success! Then I tried connecting to the internet... success! Briefly. The next morning I tried using the internet again, and it failed in exactly the same pattern as before.
I don't know much about what's going on here, but here's what I do have available:
I do have to use firmware-iwlwifi, which I installed by doing apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi. I don't think it's an issue with the wireless card itself (hardware-wise), the laptop dual-boots Windows 7 (that I never use anymore), and Windows 7 is able to connect to the internet just fine. Connecting directly to my router by ethernet cable works fine, I have perfect internet/network access then.
I can confirm that my laptop is receiving an IP address and that it is using ARP correctly to get the MAC address of my router (I confirmed this by doing the arp command, it has the MAC address correct, I checked from another computer with my router's config page) All other computers on my network work perfectly with my router. To confirm the router/its configuration isn't at fault, I did a full factory reset of the router, but to no avail.
Out of curiosity I tried installing Wireshark (using an ethernet cable to download it) to monitor what happens when I try to access a webpage. I'm no expert on networking, but I noticed something out place when I compare a capture from the affected computer to a capture from one operating normally - there are a lot of STP packets showing up. I did some checking around, it looks like STP is involved in bridging and more complex networking setups (involving switches, for example)... but it shouldn't be found on a home network, especially where there's no bridging whatsoever. These STP packets don't show up on packet captures done from any other computer. I've attached a packet capture from the affected computer here, since the forums won't let me attach a .pcapng file.
Here's the output from a few commands I ran during past troubleshooting sessions:
Code: Select allsudo ifconfig eth0   Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr e0:db:55:b5:fe:06      UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1      RX packets:12455 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0      TX packets:7781 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0      collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
I bought a USB wireless adapter for my desktop. I finally got it to partially work using firmware-ralink as described [URL]sing network manager it will pick up my wireless network. However it will not connect to it.
The output of iwconfig is wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"familyfarm" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:1C:DF:B6:EA:B9
I have no idea how I managed this, but I am able to connect to the internet but NetworkManager doesn't show any connection. This means that until I kill it, I cannot log in with Pidgin, because it is waiting for a connection.
Do I disable NetworkManager completely or do I try to make it recognize that I am connected to the Internet? If the latter, then how should I go about? (Please let me know which files I need to show you, because I know I've messed around with a couple).
I am trying to set up a wireless 'test' box to use on a private club (11,000 acres). The initial tests won't need anything fancy, it will just be checking the visibility of a hotspot from a high-point in the middle of the property. But if it proves to have good visibility, later tests will be (hopefully) promoted by the club and made aware to members. I would like to set up a captive portal to redirect them to a comments page where they can post a quick message if they were able to connect ....
Most of the examples I see online of captive portal are based on having an internet connection and/or a NAT scheme set up. I just need a hotspot and a single web-page for these promotional tests. If possible, I would like to trigger any devices capable to suggest or otherwise open a browser to go to the promotional landing page ...
Also, one more quick question, this is to eventually be an 'open' internet for this test - most of the wpa set-up examples show using a passkey. Is making an open wifi as simple as not including the passkey or is there something else I would need to be doing?
I press On-button, Debian boots, logs in and automatically connects to the Wireless network AND! to my local pc via LAN. It runs an ssh server, so I can ssh into debian over internet and communicate with the local pc (send a magic packet).Here are my problems:
1) I don't how to log in automatically. This and this doesn't work. 2) I need a network tool that can manage multiple connections and has a reconnect feature. With the default network manager I cannot even connect to more than one network simultaneously although I have two network devices of course.
And I guess I can run all that in console mode, right?
When I connect my Debian PC to my WiFi router my PC doesn't get internet if other devices are connected to it .
When i disconnect those devices and connect my Debian PC only then my PC connects to internet but other devices connected to it later do not get inernet connection.
When I connect my Debian PC using LAN Cable to the same router all devices work fine.
I have a Dell 1505E with Debian 3.16.7 which is unable to connect to channels 12 and 13 even after changing wifi regional settings to different countries (using iw reg set).12 and 13 are legal to use in the UK. What should I do?
I have no problem with my wireless network at home, or visiting friends, but it won't connect to public, open, unsecured WiFi networks, eg hotels, trains, ships.I'm using Ubuntu v9.10, NetworkManager applet v0.7.996, on a Dell Inspiron 1750 laptop.If I left click on the NetworkManager, the available wireless networks are displayed and I can see the relevent open networks, named as expected and shown without the lock icon. I click on the relevent entry, watch a spinner for 30 seconds or so and then it drops off and I have no connection. This happens for "all" open connections.If I look at my defined Wireless Network Connections now, I can see, eg, "Auto Internet@Sea, Last used: never". Editing that connection:
I have been using another OS but thought for Ham Radio Debian might be good however my stupidity took over right at the start.Have a live cd and works fine but I don't know how to connect to the Internet.Using DSL.
I set up a vpnc connection, and it says it connects fine, but then I have no internet connection at all, and cannot ssh into the remote server(the reason i need this vpn) or do anything else involving the internet.I question if it actually connects at all, as sudo vpnc myconf.conf only shows the connect banner and never progresses from there.
I have been an Ubuntu user for a year or so. My level is still ultra n00b but I am trying. Whenever I update Ubuntu there is always a WiFi problem, always. So now I am having problems getting wifi to work in 10.10. In Network Manager I can view wifi networks fine but I cannot connect. I tried with wicd also but I got as far as "getting ip" and then it would hang up.

I am not sure what driver I am using as I don't know how to exactly ID my driver. I know there is a way to ID the driver using airodump-ng but I have yet to find it. I have a feeling this is a driver issue as one time I was able to establish a connection that then dropped a few minutes later. I have a feeling I should be disabling/removing the current driver and replacing it with ipw3945 or possibly a driver ndiswrapped? The problem is I cannot figure out how to remove the current driver.
I was going to switch back to 9.04 but I thought I would try to manually figure this one out instead of taking the easy way.
I am currently trying to connect to internet through my wireless card, after half day's effort I reached to this point:
/******The following error appears in the dmesg kernel ring buffer output: ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw load failed: Reason -2 ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2 ipw2200: failed to register network device ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:03.0 failed with error -5*********/
I found a solution from Intel website saying that the problem might be: "firmware in wrong location or wrong firmware version". So I proceeded to download the firmware and placed it in /lib/firmware. Also I tried to use menuconfig to enable loading firmware via hot-plug, but I think I have done something wrong when I was configuring the hotplug and firmware.
I am using Empathy IM client to access to gadu gadu and to message with my friends. The strange thing that is happening is that I keep on being connected and then disconnected and then connected again even if I am continuously connected to my internet connection (no problem when surfing or using skype for example)It also seems to come only from me because when my girlfriend is using the same gadu gadu on her windows laptop simultaneously, she doesn´t get disconnected (whether when she is at home and using the same connection as I am or when she is outside, meaning that it doesn´t seem to come from the whole gadu gadu network)maybe it has something to do with the ports that gadu gadu is using but it is strange that sometimes it is working for a period of time and then not and then again.
I have a home Debian server running, and i would like to set it up as a gateway. I have 2 networkcards in it. So internet comes from the modem and on the other card i want to setup a dhcp server and it has to share the internet. But i want it also to connect to a vpn and share the internet of the vpn.. Is that possible?
1) I connect to the internet on a wireless router from my isp.
2) I use an older router for my media server (pc) to my ps3. The router given to me from my isp is the only one I can use to connect to the internet, yet it has the worst UPnP support (ie: none).
So with this current setup, I have to disconnect from the the wired network to be able to access the internet. So how can I access the internet while still connected to the wired network?
My wireless network is being detected but it refuses to connect to it. I am entering the accurate passcode and I have tried doing various commands for it to work, but it is being stubborn.
Also, it would help to know which WEP Index to use and type of Authentication.
I can connect to the internet through wifi, but I cannot connect to anything on my network. I have a printer and a NAS, so I would really like for this to work again. I have a dell laptop with a Broadcom card.
I m trying to use static ip address on debian. I followed a tutorial and I modified the /etc/networking/interfaces but every time I reboot I can't do anything because the nm-applet says that I have select a manually connection..
Just today I installed opensuse 11.3 on my Compaq CQ61. Even though I am able to connect to networks (both with an ethernet cable and wireless) I don't have internet access. I have used opensuse for a very brief period in the past and I had no such problem.
I know this is not a win-doze forum but i always ask my questions here so here goes.I am having what appears to be a DNS problem on a friends laptop. He is running windows XP. I CAN connect to networks and even ping websites but i CANNOT browse in Internet Explorer or FIrefox.
Im using Fedora 14, and I use mifi2372 for wireless wifi. The device is new and it will not connect to my laptop. Im sure the device is okay however I dont know about my laptop. The switch that turns on wifi does not turn blue.
I've got Debian wheezy running on my Lenovo Thinkpad X220.Kernel is 2.6.38 with compat-wireless modules.Trying to connect with an wireless network fails every time -even on unsecured networks.
dmesg output: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready wlan0: direct probe to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (try 1/3)
I've finally managed to install Fedora 11 but I can't connect to the internet via wifi. Ethernet works fine though but when I unplug the cable and try to mess with the settings, I still can't connect. I'm currently using Mac iBook G4 and I can see that my wireless card (Broadcom wireless b/g) has been detected but I just can't seem to figure out how to make it work.
