Is Debian 6 going to support my WIFI card? Stable didn't support it. It says on the box of the edimax box that it supports Debian? Ever other OS supports it out of the box? That's the only reason I don't use Debian. Model EW-7128G [URL]
View 2 RepliesIs the open source wifi rt2x00 driver in the Debian kernel? I tried to install Debian for the last 2 years, It never detects my edimax card ew-7128g, Can't use something without wifi or internet support, it does not detect during the install. Nor when i am on the desktop.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi had an old Dell collecting dust and i've wanted to dive into Linux so i bought a wireless card for it. It's an Edimax EW-7128G, the reason i bought it is because there were multiple positive reviews on how well it works in linux. Ok, so i don't know linux at all. I installed Ubuntu to learn. I installed the card and as far i can see it's not working. It came with a disc with linux drivers yet i don't know how to go about using them.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have just purchased an Edimax EW-7128g with Ralink RT61 chip and physically installed it in a system running CentOS 5.2. Trying to follow the installation instructions, I get the following:

Just installed Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and everything seems to be working nicely except I have no networking.
The card does not appear in the Network Settings GUI. The only 3 tabs I have are General, DNS, and Hosts.
A screen grab is attached.
I'm a long time Windows user trying out some of the best Linux creative apps I can find. So, Ubuntu Studio was a no brainer. I checked the manufacturer's site for linux drivers and they are available, but I don't know how current. (Edimax site, not RaLink's site.) I opened the file and it looks like it needs to be compiled and installed to work. Something I know almost nothing about. The card is listed as supported in this forum for Ubuntu 9x but I can't find information about it for 10.04
PS. I have no networking on the system but I can transfer files via USB flash drives if needed.

I have another thread started [URL] asking for support on configuring a Netopia TER/GUSB-N USB Wireless Adapter. But, I figured it would be interesting to get some opinions about other wireless adapters. I don't mind shopping on eBay for a new adapter or purchasing one at Walmart or BestBuy. So basically, I wanted to find out which wireless adapters are guaranteed to work out of the box after installing Debian. I am setting up webcam servers throughout my house and want to use the same hardware as much as possible. So if anyone has any recommendations on a wireless adapter that is proven to work and work well, please let me know.
Here are three that I can get pretty cheap at Walmart: Belkin N150 Enhanced Wireless USB Network AdapterNetgear WG111 Wireless-G 54Mbps USB 2.0 AdapterCisco - Valet Connector (Wireless N USB Adapter) AM10-4A
I want to use a USB wireless dongle/adapter on my PC that has Lenny installed.
Are there issues with drivers/firmware that I need to be aware of or can I use a generic one?
tonight my laptop with debian installed is no longer reading my wireless card. It has been working for quite some time and I really have no clue as to why it stopped. I did install some updates today, but they seemed pretty minimal. I got the card to work following the same thing I did to get it to work in ubuntu which can be found URL...So what can I do to figure out why it stopped recognizing it or to fix it?

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?
I currently know next to nothing about networks in Linux (yes I am working on that). I have just brought a Asus n13 wireless adapter after failing to get my laptop wireless working. I am using the 2.6.32-5 Debian squeeze kernel. The device connected once after I did the following:
apt-get update
modprobe rt2870sta
iwconfig
ifconfig wlan0 up
The device connected to wifi and was working fine. I then shutdown and rebooted to see if it would automatically connect on start up and now, although nothing seems to have changed and even after I repeated the steps above it did not connect. The network manager applet as well as listing the asus adapter(as ralink 802.11 WLAN) lists a Texas instruments PCI1410 pc card cardbus controller which i didn't before.
This is the output of iwconfig:

I installed realtek-firmware and wireless-tools(including NetworkManager and wpasupplicant). I rebooting and plugged in the wireless adapter and it didn't load the driver. After further research, I found that this adapter required the RTL8188EU driver, which I had to install manually. After manually installing that driver using the source from the iwfinger github [URL] .... and rebooting, I plugged in the wireless adapter and it worked. The wireless adapter seemed to work but after testing it under load(downloading a several GB file from the server and uploading a several GB file to the server) I ran into issues during the tests. I'm not sure what is going on but it seems the driver is failing or it is disconnecting from the network. I checked dmesg and this is what I found,

I'm somewhat new to Debian and I'm not sure what else to do here.
I'm installing Debian 5.0.8 on a Dell Latitude E6410 using the network install x86 CD.
Unfortunately, it won't detect my Ethernet adapter. Specifically, I get the error: No Ethernet card was detected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your Ethernet card, you can select it from the list.
lspci shows: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 10ea (rev 05)
That should correspond to the e1000e driver. But, if I select it from the list, the install CD still fails to detect it.
Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 are able to use this device with no problem.
Does anybody know what I can do to make Debian use/recognize my ethernet adapter?
Edit: Additional Info:
I think this is an Intel 82577LM Gigabit Ethernet chipset. If I switch from the graphical installer to the console and run lsmod, I see e1000e with a use count of 0.
I have just upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 my Dell Inspiron 5100 with LAN adapter Edimax Ew-7711utn. It was working fine under 11.2, without using Network Manager. The old RT2870 driver was loaded and wpa_supplicant started at boot time. But it does not connect any more automatically with 11.3. The nl80211 almost universal driver seems to be missing, wpa_supplicant is not launched during the boot process, and no connection to the AP is therefore made. I have tried quickly NetworkManager but it is of no help in this case. There is still a long way to go to make it a reliable clever tool. So, back to the ifup method, I can only connect manually with this small script :
#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting mywifi "
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -B
sleep 2
/sbin/dhclient wlan0
echo ""
route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1
sleep 3
iwconfig
exit 0
It works, but I am not happy at all to have to run this bad script, and would like to understand the origin of this regression, and why is nl80211 not found.
I am (was) trying to setup my Edimax EW-7711lN PCI WiFi card. My original post is here, misplaced because my initial issue was the absence of development tools & libs.That was solved but following the tutorial on this site. I know it says Ubuntu, but the method worked for me also on Mandriva and Fedora so I was thinking it would help in openSuse as well.
However, in openSuse I have no networking devices when I look in the list (not even a loopback interface or my onboard Realtek LAN). Could someone maybe help me in doing a proper installation (maybe help me with a change to that tutorial to make it work on openSuse?).
I have 2 PC's : a desktop and an notebook(IBM).On my desktop i have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10,and on my notebook(IBM) is Windows XP SP3. Both of the PC's are conected to internet over an PPPoE conection in Windows thorugh my router(EDIMAX).

When i boot to Ubuntu 9.10 i dont have internet...but if i restart the PC and enter in Windows 7 there is internet,and is the same connection,the same adresess. How can i make the connection in Ubuntu 9.10 with the same adress,i mean like is in Windows 7?
I'm going round in circles with this as I'm just not very good at using the command line in Ubuntu. I've bought an Edimax EW-7811Un nano USB wifi adapter, and I'm really cheesed off at the moment because I can't get it to work on my laptop. I've got Ubuntu 10.04 on it. I really want this tiny dongle to work with my computer. Ubuntu is much fats than Windows, and I use it all the time, but my current wifi donlge is an old big monstrosity!
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe issue is that after a while the lan side doesn't work any more (I don't know whether the wan side still works, but I assume it doesn't)
First we had BR6214K for which the transformator turned out to be broken (at least after a few years it gave 7 instead of 12 volt), only have it's replacement die shortly after. But the issue since the beginning was the network disconnecting every two to three days. Restarting the router solved the problem almost every time.
Now we have the same issue with a brand new BR6226n. This time the disconnection occurs almost every day. Restarting the router has so far worked every time.
Is this more likely to be a router or a computer issue (maybe a broken network card in one of the computers)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing a USB ISO, I recently installed Debian 8.0 Jessie (64-bit, Xfce DE) to a new computer. I usually lose my Wifi connection after 1-3 minutes when donwloading/uploading at around max. speed 4 Mbps/512 kbps. Sometimes it will last 15+ minutes.
When lightly browsing it can usually stay connected for 15-30 minutes. I have to disable and enable Wifi using NetworkManager to connect again. If I remember correctly, there were problems with the Wifi connection even during the installation of Debian.
This Wifi USB adapter works fine on my old computer with Debian 7.7 (32-bit). No problems with the Wifi connection yesterday on my old computer during 10+ hours of activity.
This Wifi adapter also works fine on this new computer when I boot from a live USB (Rescatux 0.30.2) downloading and uploading at max. speed for 1+ hour.
I already tried some suggestions I found online, but they didn't work:
* changing Wifi channels between 1, 6, 11 in my router settings
* changing WPA-WPA2 to WPA2 in my router settings
* ignore IPv6 in NetworkManager
* change probe_wait_ms from 500 ms to higher value by adding Code: Select alloptions mac80211 probe_wait_ms=1000 or Code: Select alloptions mac80211 probe_wait_ms=3000 to /etc/modprobe.d/mac80211.conf and rebooting
* disable Power Management for Wifi adapter (not supported)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI dual-boot Jessie with Windows 10, and I recently guessed that the 'fast boot' (hibernate on shutdown) feature of Windows doesn't properly shut down the RTL8188EU NIC plugged into my PC.

Is there a way to automatically cut the power to the wireless NIC on startup and then reenable it so I don't have to do this?
