Fedora Hardware :: No Wireless Extensions - System Impracticable To Use
Aug 26, 2011
A friend of mine have just migrated to Linux, and as recommended by me, He's trying Fedora 15 KDE. Everything runs just fine, he loved the OS, but there's a sad problem, his network card seems to have no "wireless extensions", which makes the system impracticable to use. I've tried searching around which card JMC250 is a single-chip PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
with lspci
and which driver for this card
JME
is installed, with modprobe list
I've tried loading this driver with modprobe jme, no errors. And I've also tried compiling a driver I got from the manufacturer. No changes.

I wanna see the wifi signal strength.But when i run the command iwconfig , it tells me 'no wireless extensions'.By googling I found that I need to enable config option CONFIG_NET_RADIO.I see that this has to be done in boot which has config files.So I typed the command grep CONFIG_NET_RADIO /boot/<config-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686> (my fedora version is 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686).But I got the error as "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' ".I dont know the reason.I also want to know if I have to install driver(ndiswrapper)for viewing wireless signal strength.I thought that the drivers will present default(am not sure).

A friend who switched ISP's gave me his old Linksys WRT54-G wireless router. I went through the installation procedure and had a wireless connection up and running - smiley face. I had security set up for WPA, and decided to upgrade it to WPA2. Another smiley face. When I went to connect (had already done so successfully), I noticed it referred to my wireless as Linksys - I was expecting to see the SSID. So I started playing around in Network Manager and now I have things all effed up.
Don't know exactly what I did, but now I have no wireless. So I ran a few commands (lshw -C network, iwconfig, ifconfig, and iwlist scan), and looking at the results I see what appear to be inconsistencies in the output. I've posted them below, and make the following observations:
1. Under the lshw it refers to my wireless connection logical name as wmaster0, and has the correct MAC address, etc.
2. Under the iwconfig it says, 'wmaster0 no wireless extensions', but then refers to wlan0 as the wireless connection (although it does not seem to be running).
3. Under ifconfig I see both a wlan0 and a wlan0:avahi. The wlan0 has no IP, the wlan0:avahi does, but it is incorrect.

I have a directory of a load of files without extensions. I know what the filetype should be, so is there any way of batch renaming the files to append a given extension onto it. i.e. text would be renamed as text.txt?

I've been looking for info about Legacy OS but havent found much. I installed it and all works great except there are no active wireless extensions.My laptop have an internal wifi adapter (bcm43xx) I tried to load that driver using legacy OS network wizard but didnt work, the other is a external wireless card with a rtl8187 driver, this last one is the one I want to be up. I also tried to use ndiswrapper but can't set it up either.

I just installed Slackware 13.1 on my Asus 1215T, and I've been trying to get it to connect to my wireless network in my home. When I type iwconfig I get no wireless extensions, and ifconfig returns only lo, no wlan0. I read the Slackbook wiki and tried to configure the inet1.conf and wireless.conf but still no luck...

I have a fresh install of Karmic on a older compaq laptop. I initially had LAN access, but not wifi. I added a few Broadcom packages using synaptic, and then neither worked. Then I removed the same packages, but I still have no internet access, LAN or wifi. Here are some of my settings. vincentertainment@vincentertainment-laptop:~$ iwconfig

I have an Asus U52F laptop with the Intel 6050 network adapter.
Code:
# lspci | grep WiFi
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 Series (rev 5f)
I've downloaded the Intel firmware and dropped it into the correct location according to the README.
Code:

However, no wireless devices show as being attached to my system!
Code:
# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
I also see errors in dmesg.

Just bought a netbook, ASUS Eee PC 1001PX, and got rid of the crappy XP pre-installed. first i put netbook remix on it, and tried many downloads and ndiswrapper to fix the wireless problem. then i went ahead and put another form of ubuntu on it thinking it might have the right drivers need to use the built-in wireless card, nothing. i dl all updates and bug fixes. i went to atheros to download the only driver they have for linux in the AR8132 class but still not helping. although i am not sure if i even installed. once dl it only extracted itself. i couldnt figure out how to run. if someone has this type of netbook it would be awesome. everything works on it except wireless and headphone jack. i know its just cosmetics but it would be nice if all hardware worked.

currently running karmic on an old gateway laptop with kernel 2.6.31-22-generic and, as is par for how I handle challenges, I've jumped in with both feet - which is to say this is not a dual-boot situation. I've spent some time reading the forums (and other sources of information) and am grateful for all the knowledgeable people who are willing to share what they know.
My operating system seems to be functioning properly.I can get online via ethernet, but not via wireless. I have a lucent orinoco gold PC24E-H-FC (PCMCIA) card, which the computer isn't seeing. I am trying to follow the instructions here: [URL] to install the driver. Everything is going well until I get to the sudo make line. At that point I get the following display:
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-22-generic M=/usr/src/orinoco-0.15rc4 KERNELRELEASE= modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-22-generic'
/usr/src/orinoco-0.15rc4/Kbuild:8: *** Wireless extensions are not enabled. Stop.
[code]....
how I can fix it so I can continue on with the instructions. (For the record - if I just continue on, I can change directory in the next line, but I cannot remove either hermes or orinoco as "no such file or directory" seems to exist.)

The adapter I purchased (Zonet ZEW2508 ) uses the Ralink 2070 chipset - a fact that originally excited me because Ralink seems to be fairly loving to the Linux community. However, despite my best efforts I can't get the thing to work. Initially I tried following directions to set up the driver you can download from the Ralink website. The directions I found were written February first, and Ralink updated the driver February eighth - so as far as I can tell the directions no longer work. After screwing around trying to figure that out for a while I decided to give ndiswrapper a go.
Initially this seemed promising. I just harvested the drivers from the CD and followed one of the many ndiswrapper directions available - most helpful seemed initially to be the Ndiswrapper Troubleshooting Guide found in this forum, however the solutions offered there didn't work either. When I throw an ndiswrapper -l into the terminal it looks promising at first, it tells me the driver is installed and the device is present, but it just doesn't work. When I try iwconfig, or iwlist scan it tells me "no wireless extensions," and "interface doesn't support scanning" respectively. The only devices even listed are lo, eth0, and pan0. There's no wlan0 or anything of the sort.

I installed Fedora 15, fresh install, today. Then I installed several Gnome Shell extensions along with Gnome Do through the package manager. I logged out, and tried logging back in. Received the Gnome Shell error message, "Fatal error" and was told to try again. Get taken back to login window.
I tried logging in as "root" so I could uninstall the packages I installed, but apparently you can't do that in Fedora. What's the best course of action?

In Xorg.0.log, if you have an extension disabled in the configuration file, you will see: (**) Extension DAMAGE disabled In the first few lines ... however, later on you see (II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE So which is it? Is there a memory map or something I can dump and view to see which extensions are actually loaded into the X server? Is there a delineation between "disabled/enabled" and "initialized"? OK I found it:
xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | awk '{print; if (NF<=1) exit;}'

I'm running the 64-bit version of Fedora 12 on a MacBookPro5,1 system. I am unable to connect to my wireless network, which shows up in the list of available wireless networks.
I will enter my password and the system will try for several seconds to establish a connection and then fail.
I know the network is fine because I can connect to it when I boot the computer in Mac OS X.
What can I try that will allow me to connect to my wireless network under Linux?

[root@localhost utils]# ./ndiswrapper -r bcmwl6
[root@localhost utils]# ./ndiswrapper -i /fatfs/Archiv/Softwere/Drivers/Dr_software/bcmwl6.inf
installing bcmwl6 ...

I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) wireless card. I installed these packages:
broadcom-wl-5.10.91.9.3-1.fc12.noarch
akmod-wl-5.10.91.9.3-3.fc12.6.x86_64
kmod-wl-2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64-5.10.91.9.3-3.fc12.8.x86_64
[code]....
uname -a says:
Linux boz.alafkhar 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Nov 21 15:57:45 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and:
# lsmod | grep wl
wl 1278432 0
lib80211 6436 2 lib80211_crypt_tkip,wl

My networkmanager understands that the card is installed. But it can not find any network. Also iwlist scan gives me no result. I did not have this problem on earlier fedora releases. Recently I upgraded to F12 from F11. I should mention that I have another USB DLink wireless card and when I plug it, everything works fine with that card. I also tested wl_apsta driver using fw-cutter. I did not work neither.

This may fall under the "ain't broke don't fix it" category but it's driving me nuts. I've got the Broadcom 4322 wireless adapter in my laptop and it works fine with broadcom-wl driver and kmod. However there is no ifcfg-eth1 file and the card does not show up in system-config-network.

I'm trying to install a Linksys WUSB600n dual-band USB wireless-N adapter onto a desktop system with opensuse 11.1 installed; this system will be migrating to a back porch with no cabling access, hence the wireless solution. Everything works fine under Windows XP, but on Linux, not so much. Hardware info is as follows; there is no "Wireless LAN" entry, but there is a USB entry:
99: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1737_71_noserial'
info.subsystem = 'usb_device'
usb_device.vendor = 'Linksys'
usb_device.bus_number = 1 (0x1)
linux.subsystem = 'usb'
usb_device.product = 'Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter'
info.product = 'Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter'

I have some directories with a varying numbers of files and subdirectories. All files that have no extensions have to be tared. Their names may change, thus they can not be hardcoded. Subdirectories may also contain a unspecified number of files and subdirectories that are not relevant and should not be included in the archive.
I'd like to be able to do this with a single line, not using any .sh scripts, so that this process could be reproduced as portably as possible.
Sample directory structure:
$ ls -1F
bar-dir/
bar.with.dots
foo-directory/
foo-no-ext

I have installed apache 2 and php 5 on my server. It works great but what I need is to add few extensions to PHP so it supports my website:
PDO (with MySQL and PostgreSQL driver)
curl
GD2 or Imagick
How can I do that?
I have located my php.ini file. It's in the /etc/php5/apache2.php.ini. I have used nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to open it and I searched for "curl", "pdo" etc but there is no mention of them in the php.ini file. No commented lines with these extensions.
Will it work if I just add this on the end of my php.ini?
extension=php_pdo.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll

I was watching a friend of mine install PHP on SuSE with YaST, and it appeared as though he was able to select the various extensions he wanted compiled into PHP for installation. I didn't know this was possible, I thought you pretty much had to take whatever extensions whoever built the package decided to include. Is it possible with CentOS to install PHP with a custom selection of extensions?
