I'm trying to install Debian via the net install CD and it kept asking me for my WiFi SSID and password instead of using the Ethernet chip which uses the tg3 driver. I took out the WiFi chip and the installer kept asking me which driver to use. I kept selecting tg3 but it wouldn't accept it. The tg3 driver has been in the kernel tree since early 2007. So what's up?

I'm running Debian testing. I am running the iwlwifi driver and I have an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000 card. I have a fresh install of iwlwifi and network-manager. After sleep or after being shutdown, network manager cannot find my network's SSID. I have to wait ~5 minutes for it list my SSID. I dual boot this laptop with Windows 7, and on Windows, I connect to the internet instantly after boot. I did not have this issue before, the only thing I have changed was installing blueman and the necessary components. After I installed and uninstalled these bluetooth components, I have been getting these problems. Here are some outputs:
iwconfig:
Code: Select alleth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"Dotcom"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 14:AB:F0:3D:DC:20

I access the internet through a hotspot with the SSID "OzoneBE.net Open Access". Unfortunately this hotspot is massively overused, and on top of that the signal is weak. There are other hotspots with the same SSID nearby. They have weaker signals, but it's possible they may not be so heavily used, or that I might be able to find a line of sight to one of them, so I would at least like to try connecting to them.
Unfortunately KNetworkManager doesn't give you any way of choosing between these different access points and it automatically selects the most powerful signal, as far as I can tell. RutilT can distinguish between them, but when you try to connect to the one you want, it seems that KNetworkManager intervenes and chooses the alternative with the strongest signal again. However if I kill KNetworkManager, RutilT just won't connect to anything. It fails without explanation.
How can I get proper control over my network management so that I can connect to the hotspot of my choosing, regardless of whether it shares an SSID with another?
I have an intel 3945ABG wireless card. I installed "firmware-iwlwifi" with apt-get but I cannot enter in my network's SSID and wep. On Gnome, I click system, preferences, and networking, and I get that nice network menu, but it doesn't do anything!
It detects my wireless and wired card. I click on wireless, enter in my ssid, click WEP (hexadecimal), enter in my code. I choose auto DHCP. Then in the terminal I type iwconfig. It shows "wlan0" but the SSID field is blank. The wired works but I can't get wireless.
I've been searching and trying to correct this problem for nigh on 12 hours. I would like to note that I know that hidden SSID are not necessarily much more secure. I have no permission to change the settings where I am. I'm running Debian Jessie. I have no way to get the server a connection other than the WiFi dongle I'm using. I have installed the correct WPA_Supplicant and Wireless Tools for my architecture/distro/version. I also have solved a sub-problem I had earlier; that the drivers for my WiFi dongle come with the kernel, but the firmware does not. That was remedied.
I can see my SSID in my iwlist scan. (iwlist scan | grep ESSID). My current /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:
Code: Select allauto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
My current /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this:
Code: Select allnetwork={
ssid="hundley_1"
psk=HashedPSK
scan_ssid=1
}
The original .conf was created by using wpa_passphrase "hundley_1" PASSWORD >
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf I know for a fact that the security key is correct. I edited the .conf produced to what it is now.
Usign ifup wlan0 and ifdown wlan0 to start and restart the connection yields an error. The gist of the error is:
NO DHCPOFFERS recieved
hello i am trying to change my password, but when i type in the new password i get this:"The password is longer than 8 characters. On some systems, this can cause problems.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just installed the lastest stable Debian (gnome) today and what I was most afraid just happened: my laptop's wifi isn't working properly, it isn't turning on. This had already hapened on livecd.
In the laptop's chassis leds, the wifi led apears as green. When I click to turn on the wifi, as shown on the picture the button, quickly disappears and appears again not seeming to have any effect at all at turning on the wifi but not showing any error either!
Picture :
What's interesting about the wifi not working is that in the installation process I was able to connect to a wifi hotspot and it connected to the internet fine!
Now after installation was complete and my system did the reboot, I was no longer able to connect to the internet using wifi.
My wireless card is Atheros AR9565 and my LAN card is also Atheros.
Here is an output of lspci and lsmod which may have some leads about the problem.

I love using wheezy but i keep having to take my computer downstairs to hook it up to router through ethernet, i need it to connect through wifi and stay connected.
heres my problem, if i use live image and connect to network its fine but during installation process it gets to the network configuration, it will keep disconnecting at dhcp and if i try and continue it gives me the error packages broken due to it not staying connected.
MY WIFI CARD IS A TP-LINK WDN 4800
if i try and just do a net install then it doesnt show my wifi network.
it uses in both cases ar93xx atheros driver for installing, i just need to know how i can try and keep a stable connection over wifi so it can install over wifi so i dont have to keep taking pc downstairs to install it.
i done something that stopped me being able to login into wheezy i was left at black screen with blinking command line, i have reverted to mint debian until i can get a stable connection over wifi to install wheezy again.
I've been using Ubuntu and Mint for a few years now, and I want to try Linux on my HP Stream7 Tablet. I was very excited to learn that Debian 8.0 and later has support for 32 bit UEFI on 64 bit Processors and went ahead and installed the multiarch version of 8.2. It works, but I have no GUI (Just a command line) and no WIFI connection. It seems the GUI didn't install and the WiFi card is not supported. I have found a driver for the wifi card but don't know how to install this driver. URL....

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just completed a debian netinstall, but am stuck at the "Welcome" screen. Though I took careful notes during the install re the "user account" (did not use my name as my purpose is to get the pc running and give it away) and "user password," it will not accept them. I would like to change or edit both (debian isn't telling me which is incorrect). How can this be done?
Also, this is looking for the "user account" - not the root info, right?
If I am forced to reinstall the OS, will I have to go through the entire process (partitions and all)?
I recently finished a mini-itx machine and everything was working great with a fresh Jessie install. I put in a PCIe wifi card and now the computer won't boot. The power LED is on, the PSU fan is spinning, but I get no display output at all and I don't know how far into the boot process the thing even got. I removed the card and the machine boots fine again.
I only have one PCIe slot so it is my only option, I don't have another PCIe card to try, nor do I have another machine to test the wifi card in. The card is brand new, for what it's worth.

We have 2 computers connecting the wireless network. I reinstalled the linux machine and lose the saved wifi password. I don't have the router access password. I am looking at other computer running Mac and see wifi password as xxxxxxxx. Is there a way to see what wifi password is (from the Mac computer)? The "show password" button is disabled.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI try to connect to my access point and after a long wait of maybe 30 seconds to a minute it will prompt me to enter my password. I entered it correctly and it still keeps on asking me to enter it. So just then I entered it with the password showing and double checked over it before trying again and it still didn't connect.
I need to have internet on my netbook working by tonight or I will have to go back to windows.
What can I do to make my laptop connect to my access point? Its not a problem with my access point, my desktop running windows, it connects just fine to my wireless.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm a novice using Ubuntu 10.1 on an Asus EeePC. For several days, my computer has refused to connect to the office wifi, though it's had no trouble doing this in the past. It recognizes the signal, and the wifi icon keeps indicating that it's in the process of connecting, but the process never completes. Every few minutes I'll be asked to re-enter the password. Eventually it gives up.
I'm not sure if this problem extends to other wifi networks or just the one at my office.
I am using an Asus R2 G32 Wifi Router. The CD's and the manual that comes along with the Router does not support Linux . Now the wifi connection was installed in Windows 6 months back with a password and but it got reset to default somehow. Now i want to set password again. Whenever i try to log in 192.168.1.1 in my browser, and Change the password and select Apply . Nothing happens to the page, as if it is static. No Submit Buttons work in this. Um a bit in mess ryt now as my wifi is vulnerable to any1 ryt now.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I need to type in the password to get on a wifi network, the "connect" button is grayed out and unclickable until I've typed in 8 characters for the password, making it impossible to connect to networks with shorter passwords. I'm not sure if this problem is unique to 10.10 or not, I've been using linux for a couple years now and I've never tried to connect to a network with such a short password before until last weekend, after my friend figured out how to change his password from the one his ISP set for him.

Installed 11.2 last night with KDE4. Using "Connect to other network" I could see all the private networks around, including my own.
Mine has an hidden SSID and WPA2-PSK security. Regardless of what I tried I couldn't connect. Both BSSID and password are correct (but there was no other choice than "WPA/WPA2 personal" under security).
So I go to work today and connect to an unsecure network with a visible SSID (and a lower signal quality) without any problems.
Summary of issue: You cannot connect to a wireless network with a hidden ssid, while using knetworkmanager.This leaves you with the choice of using ifup, yast which uses ifup but provides a gui for new users, etc. But thanks to glistwan helpful post there is a simple way to fix this issue, while continuing to use knetworkmanager.Step 1 Get the wireless name of the hidden network, for example we will be looking for "Tree".Tree is not on the list of courseStep 2 Open the Terminal and enter super user mode.

I have three routers (linksys wrt54gl, ddwrt). I'm trying to use wds bridging, got two of them linked, but not the third. All three routers have the same SSID. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix.
My problem is I need to choose which of these my laptop connects to. Right now it connects to the one router which isn't playing nice with wds. I need it to connect to one of my other routers. I see the other signals using nm-tool, but they don't show in nm-applet. I created a connection in NetworkManager specifying the SSID + mac address of the correct router, but the tray applet doesn't show any options for connecting to manually configured networks, and I can't find any other useful app. I suppose I could rtfm for iwconfig et al, but Ubuntu ought to have an easier way.
