Fedora Hardware :: BCM 4306 Can't See Any WiFi Networks / Resolve This?

Jan 13, 2010

I have FC 12 running and everything was working fine for about 2 weeks or so. Then today after I put my Daughter to bed, I booted up the laptop and it could not find any of the many WiFi networks that are present in my area, and when I tried to get it to connect to my home network through a saved configuration in the Network Connections Manager it kept asking for my WPA2 Password but it would not connect. So I got out my delopitated Cat-5 cable and tried to do an update and see if that would solve the problem. But alas it did not work (hence the posting of this tread ).

I even tried to unload the "B43" driver using code...

But that did not do the trick either. Is there any way to get it to work again without doing a re-install of the entire Operating System? I already had to do that, and it is a big pain in the A$$ because of a defective ATI Card in the laptop.

Fedora Networking :: WiFi Not Reliable And Can't Change Networks?

Jul 24, 2009

Fedora 10 (dual boot w/ XP) on Dell Optiplex with a Dell wirelessntennaI am on a university campus with campus-wide wifi network (so no router). I have a wireless HP printer that I want to be able to print to using an ad-hoc connection. The wireless antenna, networking, and wireless printing are all working in Windows XP (so hardware is OK). However, on the linux side, the wifi is really really finicky.

When I first boot up to fedora, it usually connects no problem to the campus-wide wifi network. If I try to switch to the ad-hoc printer network (which it sees), will not connect and, furthermore, it will no longer connect to the campus-wide network (and sometimes it doesn't "see" this network at all). It seems that restarting the Network Manager service sometimes helps to reconnect to the campus-wide network, but not always and I can't connect to the ad-hoc regardlessNOTE: I'm just barely a linux user, and I didn't set up my system - don't assume that I did anything that would be common sense and, if you can, walk me through your suggestions.

Fedora Networking :: Networks Connects To Home Wifi Network / But It Will Not Connect To Internet

Aug 6, 2010

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.

Fedora Networking :: Orinoco Silver PCMCIA Wifi Card Doesn't Find Any Networks In F11

Sep 21, 2009

I have Lucent Technologies Orinoco Silver 11 Mbps PCMCIA wifi card. It worked perfectly in Fedora 10, but after updating to Fedora 11 it stopped finding any wireless networks. The updating were done with automatic updating utility. The card works perfectly in Windows, I tested it today.

My laptop is HP nx6110 if that matters.

Here is the situation:

When I plug-out the card, the Network Manager disables wireless networking as it should. When I plug-in the card, wireless networking is enabled, so the system seems to recognize the card in some way.

If I try to connect to "Hidden wireless network" (because there isn't any wireless networks listed in the Network Manager) system tries to connect for a couple of minutes, and then asks wireless settings again. Orinoco card's lights DOESN'T blink normally when connecting to the network (one light should blink rapidly and one should light continuously, but both are blinking rarely or doesn't blink at all).

In System->Administration->Network in tab Hardware (hope those names are correct, I use Finnish version of Fedora...) is:

It seems that the card is detected right.

Here is what I have done to get the problem solved: In System->Administration->Network I have tried to connect to the wireless network manually (disabling the Network Manager). I can't get the connection. It gives me random error messages, sometimes "Check the cable" or something like that, sometimes just timeouts IP determination.

I have tried to connect different wireless networks, no connection. All tested networks worked with another computer.

No matter if I reboot or service network restart or plug-out plug-in the card... the problem still appears.

Tried to find (and reinstall) drivers:

Code:

No Matches found

Code:

Here is the output of lspci. The output is the same if the wifi card is connected or not.

Code:

LAN connection is working just fine.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Works On Some Networks But Not Others / Resolve This?

Jan 26, 2011

I have a system 76 panp7, which uses rtl819xSE for it's driver. I also have a Toshiba laptop that uses the same driver, I'm getting the same symptoms from them. The panp7 is using x64, while the toshiba is on 32 bit.

On my home network, at the local coffee shop, and pretty much everyone I know's home wi-fi everything works wonderfully.

On the university network, I get a useful connection about 1/3 of the time. The wireless disconnects randomly, and once disconnected will not re-associate to any network without a restart.

I've tried turning wi-fi off and back on again to re-establish connection. Reboots will get me another chance at connecting to the uni-network, or let me connect elsewhere without a problem.

I strongly suspect that it's the school's fault, since it only happens on their network. but IT won't fix it unless I can prove that it's on their end(and I'll likely need to fight uphill for that).

Ubuntu Networking :: Laptop Can't Connect To Visible Networks After Upgrading / Resolve This?

Jun 1, 2011

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and running an update ubuntu can't connect to any wifi networks, although it can see them perfectly (and potentially unrelated, the windows partition is having major dns issues with the wifi too).

I've looked around and can't find an obvious fix, just a bunch of posts from people with the same problem that wasn't solved. I got frustrated and was about to install 10.10 again but I noticed I couldn't connect to the wifi on the liveCD either. I then tried the 10.04 liveCD, and the internet worked aswell as when I installed it. However before when I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 I had no problems with the wifi, so it leads me to suspect that there was something installed/some setting in 10.04 that is missing from the latter version.

Ubuntu :: Two Wifi Simultaneous Networks?

Jun 21, 2011

following a new motherboard install I've just done a clean install of 10.10. At first, I was using the default network manager wifi to connect to my router - I had the upturned radar beam type icon in the top panel showing me the strength of the signal and access, by right clicking on it, to things like Enable Networking, Enable Wireless, etc. I read that installing WICD via synaptic would install wicd and remove the default network manager, so this what I did. My wifi is OK but I still have my upturned radar type icon and a new WICD icon in the top panel. I was expecting the upturned radar icon to disappear - is this correct? If I right click on the radar icon I can click on the Edit Connections option and change things - it appears I have both the default network manager and WICD working at the same time.

(he wouldn't let me get rid of win7 cuz thats what his parents use.) It installed successfully, so we booted into it, and there was no wifi networks. I thought it was because wifi was disabled so i press the button i think its F5 but still nothing. I thought it might have been the comp but i booted into win7 (Que the Beethoven's fifth)... and it worked in win7 (thats a first) can someone help me.

Ubuntu Networking :: Long Wifi Networks Last In The Available List?

Mar 10, 2010

I was on a car trip earlier, but we were stuck in traffic. The stop-go stop-go kind of BS. I pulled out my 9.10 laptop and figured I'd scan for wifi networks and see how good America was at securing their networks. (I work in IT support so it's one of those things I preach to no end yet people rarely listen).

I was using wifi radar, and picked up a truckload of networks every time we'd stop. But something didn't sit well with me. When I click on the network manager icon in the top gnome panel to see what networks were available, it never seemed to refresh.

Example - the first 5 networks I saw were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We would stop-go more and more and miles later when I'd see more networks in the area show up in wifi radar, yet hit my network manager, I'd STILL see networks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and not 30, 31, 32, 33, etc like I expected.

What kind of refresh time or cache or whatever does network manager have? I just didn't understand why I was seeing the original networks from 15 minutes/miles ago and it never seemed to update.

Ubuntu Networking :: Toshiba Satellite A215 Not Seeing Wifi Networks?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 - 64bit install with an A215. The wifi was working fine until today. Ubuntu seems to detect the hardware, and it shows the interface as being 'up', however no networks show up in either the network manager or 'sudo iwlist scan'. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue, or if the hardware itself died.Here is the output of lspci:

Ubuntu Networking :: Won't Connect To Open (unsecured) WiFi Networks?

Jul 9, 2010

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:

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.10 - In Network Manager Can View Wifi Networks Fine But Cannot Connect

Apr 28, 2011

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.

lspci

Code:

Code:

Code:

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.

Debian :: WiFi Connection Cause Squeeze To Crash / Resolve This?

Aug 21, 2010

I'm using Debian-Squeeze, and the command "uname -a" results in "Linux debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Jul 24 01:47:24 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux". The desktop environment is Gnome 2.30.2.

My problem is wireless connection causes the system to crash. Here is the detail: my university uses a WiFi service that we have to enter our ID and password in a certain web page in the browser to get access to the Internet, while the WiFi signal is automatically picked up. My laptop crashes each time I connecting to such wireless network. But back home, when connecting to my own WiFi, everything is all right.

As the only thing I can do when such crash happens is to press the power button to force the computer to shut down, I've gathered no more information till now.

Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Wifi Doesn't Work / Resolve This?

Jul 17, 2010

I installed openSUSE 11.3 under 2 machines, one of them using a Linksys USB wireless N adapter (rt73usb) and another using an Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (ath5k). I have a Belkin f5D8236-4 router, with the SSID "linksys". I also have an Ubuntu 10.04 machine which has working wireless internet. I know almost nothing about networking, but from what I can tell, openSUSE 11.3 seems to have trouble with DHCP, specifically setting the dynamic IP address. To try to go about fixing this, I attempted to set a static IP, but I am quite confused by all the settings.

I have tried both the graphical "Network Manager" (KDE, Gnome, and command line versions) and ifup, both with no luck.

Here is the information from the working Ubuntu machine code...

Ubuntu Networking :: Not Able To Authenticate To Home Wifi / Resolve This?

I acquired an old Compaq Evo laptop and installed Kubuntu on it. Bought a second hand wifi card, a DEXLAN IEEE802.11b (Having Googled to check it would work with Linux).

It detects wireless networks fine, and is able to connect to open ones, but I can't log into the home network with the password which works fine for Windows laptops.

I've tried every configuration of the router I can find, and followed the advice at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...untu#EasySteps but with no luck. It just asks for the password over and over again without connecting.

Debian Configuration :: Networking: Connected To Wifi, Webpages Won't Resolve?

Oct 2, 2010

I just installed Debian with the latest testing iso, and I'm having problems connecting to the web via browser. I can ping hostnames (i.e. google.com, debian.org, etc.) from the terminal and it resolves just fine, but if I try to load a page from Iceweasel or Epiphany it says the page won't load because it can't resolve the hostname. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?the detail that I'm running amd64. I've checked iptables and found no entries, and for good measure I flushed it to be certain. I also checked resolv.conf but that looked normal, just a nameserver entry pointing to my home router. I'm new to Debian, but have used Linux for years, and I'm genuinely stumped. I'm sure the solution will smack me in the head for its simplicity, but nonetheless I need at least a shove in the right direction.

Ubuntu Networking :: Using Tether Or Ad-hoc Networks Causes Headaches With Other Networks?

Apr 16, 2011

I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.

What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.

I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.

Fedora :: Fedora 15: Remove Wireless Network From - List Of Preferred Networks

I tried fiddling around with the network settings but I couldn't see any place where I could remove that network from the 'List of preferred networks' or at least try to prevent it from connecting automatically.

How to remove this network from the list of preferred networks? Edit some file somewhere maybe?
