Debian :: Bcm94311mcg Wifi Card
May 17, 2011I just installed Debian on my hp dv6205us. I have a bcm94311mcg Bradcom wireless card that is not detected. How do I get this working?

View 3 RepliesI booted Debian in Live mode on a USB to try to see if the internet will work on my Linux machine before I actually install it (there is some tricky internet software where I live that I must overcome, but that will come in another thread).
Currently I have no WiFi whatsoever. When I go into the internet access menu I only get back the fact that there is a wired connection that's possible (theoretically, I should be able to also see networks to which I can connect to, but I don't). Also, it's impossible for me to actually get a wired connection going, unless I can somehow give it through my Windows laptop.
When I did some research, the people seem to say that I need to update the driver after enabling the use of non-free software; I can't do that since I have no connection in the first place.
The OS recognizes that the PCE exists (I am using asus pce-ac68), when I did "lspci" command it told me I have BCM4360 and BCM43225 chips.
I think I found the drivers here "[URL] ......" but I don't think my chip is listed there (there is no BCM4360 or BCM43225 on that list). What to do with those drivers, I mean how to compile them and install them on a Debian machine, and I'm not sure I can even install them on a live boot (but I want to make sure my internet works on the live boot before I actually install the OS).
I have some problems with my WiFi card I'm configuring for Debian Wheezy. I've used it in other computers successfully (It's a USB device), but this box doesn't seem to be able to recognize it or use it properly.
I've identified the card using Code: Select alllsusb with the output Code: Select allBus 001 Device 002: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]
I've used the Wheezy docs to download the firmware necessary and it apparently is supposed to run fine with this firmware, but nothing is working. There was mention to a GitHub repository of a fixed version of the driver in question, which didn't work either.
I'm was trying to choose between GNOME and KDE for version 8. However both the live DVD's fail to pick up the Wifi card on my system. I am also unable to use certain basic commands such as ifconfig on the live CD. I am completely new to Linux and Debian (of course). Pardon me for the hand holding. This will be my first install of a Linux system.
What steps I can take to ensure that the Wifi card and the network card will be supported - hardware compatibility test maybe? Is there a way to try before installing? This will be a dualboot with Windows 8.1
Wifi card: Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter
LAN card: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
I'm a brand new user of Debian, and I just bought a (too much?) new laptop, the HP 430 G2. It seems to work great for almost everything, except that I don't have any wifi available.
I tried so many different things (without any success) that it would be hard to resume. But for now, all I have is a new installation (to avoid parasite installations of weird things), and a kernel updated to 3.16. I don't know if it's useful though...
Some information from my system :
Code: Select allbonyhoax@bonybook:~$ sudo ifconfig
[sudo] password for bonyhoax:

TX packets:3491 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
[Code] ....
The first element I notice is that I don't have the line with "Kernel driver in use...". Which seems to indicate that there's a problem with the kernel module (is that right?). But I don't know how to fix it...
The other thing that puzzles me with these last two commands is that according to this page, my wifi card is a Broadcom BCM43142. But it's not the result I get with the lspci command.
Anyway, I'm really lost, I don't know what to do, what to check, what to install. I don't want to go by random, testing all the different solutions I see on the web blindely. This is the reason why I ask it here.
I have an intel 7265 AC wireless card. When I try to download something my estimated download time is tripled almost every 5 mins.And when I play an online game from steam (cs:go or dota2) the ping goes to 250-300 ms which generally stays around 80ms. I'm using debian jessie. So far, I've tried turning of the power save mode of the card, changing ISP and router but none of them worked. I have a fairly good internet connection (I'm using it with my other machines without a problem) so I don't think the connection or router is the problem. Below you can find some information about system.

Those are the outputs of the commands I know.
I am trying to get an engenius EUB 9801 going in Debian 6.0 Stable. I have searched this forum, and other linux forums but no luck. It is based on a Ralink rt3572sta chip, the 2.4/5ghz 300mbps wireless N chipset. I will post the link to the Ubuntu forum, where they have been able to get it working under 10.10.[URL]..the link to the linux chipset driver is:[URL]... It would be nice to have this natively supported under Debian, as I am going to use my server as a glorified wirelessN router...

View 2 Replies View RelatedBecause of workers here in my company I need a very secure operating system for laptops so I have chosen Debian 7.8. The laptop is Acer Aspire E11 (E3-112-C4NE). This laptop has a built-in wifi card Aetheros AR9565 :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0036] (rev 01)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically the stable 7.8 distribution cannot handle this wifi card, so I read on forums that I should upgrade my operating system. So I did as I read on the forum:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free
apt-get update
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install firmware-atheros
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install linux-image-amd64
reboot
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this the oprating system recognized the wifi card and loaded the "ath9k" driver. In the Grub the default operating system became :
Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae
Because I want to restric the workers to access anything else except the designed inner network, I have uninstalled the Network Manager and set the network interfaces in the "/etc/network/interfaces" file as shown below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

This works, when the operating system boots, it automatically connects to my hidden SSID wiofi network. I can ping other computers on the same IP subnet (10.139.252.xxx).
This computer should connect to an XP running under virtualbox, having the IP address of 10.40.138.153. But it does not. On another laptop, running Ubuntu 14.05, having the same network configuration, (10.139.252.102) connects to the same XP under virtualbox with no problem....
For Ubuntu nothing is required to be installed on virtualbox, no extension pack, no guest addition, nothing. When I want to connect to XP via rdp, it asks for username and password and after that only a blue or black blank screen and nothing else... Even on the XP I see no sign of any activity that somebody would like to connect.
Checking the network traffic (tcpdump, nast) I see that the two computers are communicating but after a while the communication stops. The rdp XP its in another IP subnet, but Ubuntu can connect without any problem, Debian not...
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....

As a part of my final project,i am beginner and this is the first one that i have the opportunity to work under linux fedora,my task consist to develop with C a driver of wifi by using the SDIO Wifi card as an interface. This driver will be included in a digital receiver TV.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running (K)Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64bit on a Dell Latitude E6400, WiFi Card Intel 5100. Never had any problems with networking. Up to about 2 weeks ago. I do realize there have been quite a few posts with this network adaptor, but non really described the problem I have here.
What happens is that suddenly the WiFi LED on the computer stops blinking, the WiFi connection gets disrupted, and the device is not recognized anymore when checking ifconfig. Only cold restarting the machine helps then... it will work for a while (between 1 and 20 minutes) and then crash again.
On Windows 7 the card works perfectly fine. With Ubuntu 11.04 in Live CD mode I have the same effects (connection crashes after a while). Also tried booting an older kernel, no success.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm sure you've seen this question before -- I tried searching but I can't find a clear answer. All I need is to get my wifi up and running in Ubuntu 10.04. I'm currently double-booted with XP on a Dell Latitude E5400 laptop. I'm in Windows right now. I can't post my lpsci readout because I can't access the internet from Ubuntu -- no access to wired connection.
I worked on this problem for a long time last night and fixed it somehow by installing a driver program -- it had "cutter" in the name. Today, however, I try to log in and Ubuntu won't connect to an open wifi point. Boot #1 it recognized it but wouldn't connect. Boot #2 it wouldn't recognize it at all (said "wireless is disabled" even though it wasn't. Boot #3 it would recognize the wifi point but wouldn't connect.) I can mantain a constant connection to this wifi in Windows XP and also on my Android phone.
I just want someone to please tell me how to get my wifi working reliably. I'm excited to switch over to Ubuntu, all I need is for the wifi to work. My wifi card is a Broadcom 43xx (4312?). Something like that.
Ubuntu 9.04 running on a Dell C640 with a Dell TrueMobile 1150 wireless card. Works perfectly under XP. Ubuntu can't find it. Wired networking finds the internet perfectly (though I'm still working on getting samba set up correctly for file/print sharing on my XP LAN).
I'm thinking I need a driver, maybe? Can't seem to locate one.
For the first time, after hibernating, I was unable to use the wifi card. I had to reboot again. These are the ouputs of common commands after bringing networking down, up and down again:.

i just thought the last few days about trying Ubuntu. so i did. i got a nice and fresh copy of Ubuntu Desktop version and installed it, everything worked great except my wireless usb 2.0 card. the only internet connection i have under windows is Wifi and i hoped that my dongle will be recognized by Ubuntu automatically...(naturally, it wasn't the case.)
so my adapter looks exactly like this one here, except for the color, it's white and it has my WISP's name written on it (i got it from them, along with a cd that offers win xp/98/me drivers...)
so even everest sees it's atheros and it's the Atheros AR5523 chipset.
i also have windows 7 64bit drivers if they help...
anyway, i can't get it to work and cannot access the internet any other way when on Ubuntu, so i have to use an already-saved driver..
i installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop computer, the live cd worked fine. my wifi worked there. but after installation completion i didnt get any screen. all black. nothing after the grub menu. i dettached my TP-Link TL-WN353G wireless PCI card and it worked fine. now what to do?strange, the wifi card works fine on Ubuntu Live CD and on win XP. please guidei have tried deleting quite and splash during boot upduring boot i pressed 'e' and deleted quite and splash and then ctrl-X but still the same result. the screen goes black. no graphics after grub menu.

I have just installed Fedora 14 on my desktop machine and have just discovered that it can't detect my WiFi card. The card is an Edimax EW-7711In which the makers say will run with Linux. I know that the card works fine with Ubuntu because my brother uses the same card in his Ubuntu machine but he is away until after Christmas so I don't know what he did to make it work other than I know he used ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers that were supplied with the card. I have looked for ndiswrapper in the Fedora repositories but it doesn't appear to be there.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWith my Compaq CQ62 it seems I can either have a distro provide a working wifi or a working soundcard but not both. I would love to have Linux working properly. Wireless internet works great in Windows 7. The ethernet works perfectly when I plug directly into my router, but pressing the wireless button will not change the light on it from orange to white or do anything else. Yet a simple distro like crunchbang or kubuntu seems to make the wireless work fine.
They just cant make my soundcard work. Being that there is at least some sort of a protocol for installing wireless drivers, I figured I would go with the distro that gives me SOUND since installing a sound driver seems unheard of or impossible. I have a realtek wireless network card in my laptop that Fedora, one of the biggest names in Linux, seems oblivious to even recognize. When I click on the network icon and go to Manage Connections, the Wireless tab is greyed out and cannot be clicked on.
I am trying to pin point the problem I am having with my wifi card which used to work just fine with F13 and after installation of F14 it hangs my OS.
Fedora hangs when card is inserted and if it is inserted at a boot time, fedora hangs at starting udev.
I attached my messages log file but I think there is no info in there.
About log:
I have some strange problem with my bios, cause every time i restart my laptop it always has same time and date so you should ignore repeating time and date on reboots
at line 1 i turned on pc
at line 580 it finishes shuting down i issued with reboot
at line 581 it is starting up again
at line 1140 i inserted the pcmcia wifi card, and there is nothing there
you can see that at next line 1141 system is rebooted and log file is started again

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a clevo M760T laptop. It used to run ubuntu 10.10, recently i reformatted it to fedora 14 and now the wifi card does not work. Heres the weird thing, the wifi card has a light on the laptop's front panel that says if its "enabled" (can be seen by the O/S, in ubuntu i would have no wlan0 interface until i enabled it this way, and it wouldnt show on lspci as far as i remember).The wifi is enabled using the Fn-F11 combo. I know the F11 key works as i can fullscreen firefox with it, and I know the Fn keys as i can use the Fn-F5/6 combo to alter volume etc. No matter what i try i cant seen to be able to get that light on, or the card to appear in fedora.This may be unreleated to fedora, maybe the card has broken, but it seems odd that that'd happen right when i installed fedora. Annoyingly, I dont know what make / model wifi card it was so i dont know if its related to kernel modules or similar (and nothing showing for it in lspci). Just that it worked (including actually using it to go on the internet) in ubuntu 10.10, and does not now in fedora 14.
