Fedora Hardware :: Running Into Wall Getting Wireless Working
Aug 26, 2011
It's an acer Aspire One D257-13478.Download the correct firmware and tar it into the appropriate dirctories and I'm still running a wall.I don't know how to get the b43/b43legacy in the lsmod list.I've also tried use the rfkill command and using yum to install it gives me this response:"cannot retrieve repository metadata"
I also went into the F2 setup menu and couldn't find anything to alter the bios wireless.After installing Fedora 15 almost all the drivers remained intact including enumerators for usb mice.I don't know what's going on.

I have Lenovo G550 and openSUSE 11.4. Everything's ok, wifi without problems, I could connect to anywhere I wanted to, but yesterday while laptop was running and was connected actually by wire to internet, after removing the wire I realized that I cannot connect to wifi (the laptop was hibernated during night) - even the light diode in the front of the laptop was not shining. I went to yast and realized that the wlan0 isn't enabled and there's new eth1 port. But the wlan by ifup I cannot start and the eth1 I cannot start as well.

I am trying to get the time of my wall clock from my wireless driver in form of "hh:mm:ss", so I used the function get_rtc_time() inside my driver to get that and it was done. My question: Is it possible to increase the accuracy of this function, for example if I want to get the milliseconds and the Microseconds in additional to the first output? If not, Is there any other function can do that?

I recently moved into my room-mates house and her wireless was not secure as I was able to log on to it unsecured with my Fedora 12 Laptop. After Securing it with WPA all the windows computers had no problem getting back on to the now secure wireless. Using GNOME I went to SYSTEM then PREFERENCES and NETWORK CONNECTIONS and clicked on the wireless tab and configured wireless security tab and configured for WPA WPA2 Personal. No problems. But when I go to the gnome tool bar and click on the network and see our SSID it wants to use WEP 40bit and others methods but has no selection for WPA.

I am trying to execute 3 commands stacked together on a remote server. The purpose of the commands are to get the oldest path name, then the filename of the oldest file in that path, and then the date/time of that file.
The command I am running is: stat -c %y $( find -L $( find -L /home/data -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1 ) | grep txt | sort -f | head -1 ) This command works fine if I execute it on the command line of the server. However, when I try to use it in a bash script and execute it from one server on the other server using ssh, the command does not work.
Example:
oldest_file=`ssh -l root $IP "stat -c %y $( find -L $( find -L /home/data -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1 ) | grep txt | sort -f | head -1 )"`
I don't know why the command will execute if I run it straight on the server but not through ssh. I broke it down to just the 2 Find commands and saw with verbose turned on that the path from the first (innermost) Find is not being passed to the second Find so it is not returning a filename which inevitably makes the Stat command fail.
Also, if there is an easier way to do what I am trying to accomplish without stacking these 3 commands like this, then I welcome those suggestions as well since I am a Linux newbie.

I finally got magicjack working under a winxp running on a vbox. But somehow I have to login as root and run the vbox as root. otherwise if I run the vbox as a normal user, I cannot mount the magicjack usb device, it appears as a grey disabled box. I am sure this is some kind of permission issue, but not sure how to grant the permission.

I have tried endlessly and unsuccessfully to make my wireless work.When I try to activate the device I got the message "Determining IP information for wlan0...SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device"...I had the following output for /sbin/lsmod | grep iwl3945iwl3945 170340 0
which meant my drivers are fine.I downloaded firmware iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.28.2.8.tgz from intel website which is the latest and put the required file in /lib/firmware/When I checked the sevices to restart the Network Manager and Network Manager Dispatcher I could find only Network Manager service running. I tried installing Network Manager Dispatcher via an RPM but it didnt appear in the list of services.

Have tried both Mythdora 10.21 32bit and 64bit (Fedora 10)o get my wireless to work.Have looked at output from various suggested commands and logs and nothing jumps out. Would appreciate any suggestions. Have attached log with all commands identified and output. Wired ethernet works with no problem.
The router shows no connection activity on the wireless portion from the Linux box. I do have a laptop that I have connected to the router before and after attempting to connect with the Linux system.The only out of the ordinary message I see is (from dmesg):wlan0: privacy configuration mismatch and mixed-cell disabled - disassociate

My wireless card is a Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54 Mbps Network Adapter.Wireless Internet worked just fine in Fedora 10 and is working just fine in Fedora 11, however, when I installed Fedora 12, it just wouldn't work. It would state that the Wireless Networks were disconnected and wouldn't allow me to enable Wireless or to enable Networking. had to revert back to Fedora 11 (where the wireless Internet was working once again)I have since made a Live CD of Fedora 13, but I had the same problem. Would it be that these newer versions of Fedora don't have the driver for this card? If so, is there a way to install it or to check?

Supported chipsets:
8188
8191
Terry Polzin on the Fedora list today posted a request for help with getting a Realtek 8188S(U) working. I replied saying that I had a similar device and shared my experiences.
I told him that there is a driver in staging which supports the device, but that Fedora only ships quality working drivers by default, so no staging drivers are included. It's easy enough to get them though, just add the RPMFusion Free repository and install their kmod-staging package which (as the name might give away) includes the staging drivers for the current kernel.
Once you have that installed, the r8192s_usb module can be loaded, but the device still needs external (presumably proprietary) firmware to work. Fortunately, although the driver available from Realtek does not include it, it was included on the disk, and is also available in the Billion driver from their website. So, once you have put the firmware in the right place, the device just works.
Here are the steps to get it working (you will need to have RPMFusion enabled, and run these as root).
Code:
yum install kmod-staging unzip
depmod -a
wget http://au.billion.com/downloads/3011N/3011N_Linux_Driver.zip
unzip -j 3011N_Linux_Driver.zip "*rtl8192sfw.bin" -d RTL8192SU
[Code].....
The main downside here (apart from the obvious) is that you will be relying on RPMFusion to build an updated kmod-staging version when you get a Fedora kernel update. Sometimes this might not happen before you get your kernel, so when you reboot, you lose your wireless (because there's no driver). If so, boot to your older kernel for a while, or build the driver yourself, or create an akmod instead of kmod.

I can see the wireless networks option in NetworkManager, but I can't detect any networks.I did a fresh installation of F14. Wireless wasn't working, so I set up kmod-wl and broadcom-wl for my kernel version as per the HOWTO on this forum. lsmod | sort shows wl as loaded, no conflicting drivers.iwlist scan:"Failed to read scan data: Invalid argument"lspci shows BCM4313 802.11b/gI've tried everything I can find online, and nothing seems to be working.

Are there any other options for a fire wall gui for opensuse where you can see exactly what is going on with the firewall? I am finding the yast firewall gui in opensuse 11.4 to be extremely limited. I am not proficient in ip tables so looking for something that would give better control over the firewall rules for a beginner.

I just got a Lenovo Thinkpad x100e. Everything seems to be running well, with this exception of the wireless adapter. When running on the battery the wireless runs for about 30secs to 1 minute before dropping out. The NetworkManager says it's still connected, but nothing goes across the network. Disabling and then re-enabling the wireless works, for about 30 sec to a minute. The weird thing is this behavior DOESN'T occur when the power adapter is plugged in.
I'm wondering what power management parts I should be looking at? I'm running OpenSuSE 11.2, KDE 4.3.5 if that helps.

Today I updated my system, I noticed that KDE would be upgraded to 4.3. Upon restart of my computer my wireless didn't work (and still doesn't) and I cannot use the desktop effects anymore (probably the graphics driver). Is there any way I can fix those problems, or downgrade my system so everything just works? I'm using Fedora 11 KDE (64-bits). And I've kept a list of all updates. Ok, I figured that it was a different version of the kernel, the update set the other kernel to default. I'm back to 2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64 and everything works.

There is a realtek rtl8187 on my board, and windows can browse and connect to wireless networks. I installed F11 and it was capable of browse and connect to my wireless network - even if it was really slower than windows. Anyway I did some yum update+reboots and now NetworkManager don't list any wireless network, and the checkbox "Enabled wireless" in the right click menu disappeared (I can see "Enable networking" only now). What can I do?

I am having problem with wireless networking my fedora 12 since i opened network manager yesterday. But to my notice i haven't done any changes. But still i am not able find any reason for the wireless network not to work. When i try to restart the network servies it gives the following msg.

Bringing up interface eth0:
This version of ISC DHCP is based on the release available on ftp.isc.org. Features have been added and other changes have been made to the base software release in order to make it work better with this distribution.
Please report for this software via the Red Hat Bugzilla site: [url]
Did i do something wrong with the network manager or did something go wrong with fedora.
