My wireless network card, I think it's rtl8192ce, doesn't work anymore in Fedora 14. Following advices on this forum and elsewhere I've installed compat-wireless-next.
I've tried to install the driver myself (downloaded file 92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0003.0620.2011.tar.gz from the realtek web site), but get the following error message when running make:
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686.PAE/build: No such file or directory.
Even after installing development-tools as suggested in [URL] (though I installed them with sudo and not su - does that make a difference?).
Here's the output of lspci -nnk:
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:8176] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:9196]
and of iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
I've also tried to check if the device is switched off using rfkill list, but that doesn't work:
Can't open RFKILL control device: No such file or directory.
The card used to work until yesterday.
I have a Dell inspiron 1420 and its set up as a dual boot. Windows/Fedora.I cant get the wireless card to work. I review some previous posts but still cant get it working.
I did a /sbin/lspci Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01)
I did $rpm -q b43-fwcutter b43-fwcutter-011-3.fc9.i386
Recently I have installed Fedora 14 on my other laptop. It's a dual boot with Windows 7. Everything worked perfectly fine, networking included, until my friend didn't accidently turned off the wireless by pressing a wireless button on the laptop. Since then the wireless on Fedora doesn't work. It does on Windows thought. I've tried restarting the laptop few times, but the wireless still doesn't want to work again.
can't get my wireless internet to work.I have a toshiba satellite laptop with a build in antheros wireless card. Heres the info on my card when I do lspci.Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)I'm completely clueless on how I get it to connect to the internet wirelessly I was able to connect to my router earlier but it wouldn't let me use the internet though. I was trying to follow instructions from other post and now I cant even connect to my router anymore.
I initially had W7 starter on this netbook, changed to linux mint 8 very quickly (as fedora seems to have bricked my old laptop ), and eventually decided to try fedora again. However, unlike on LM8, the touchpad and Wireless LAN do not work.
Netbook Model- Acer Aspire One D250-1515 Wireless Card- Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter Touchpad- unknown (how can I find this out?)
These two issues kind of make the netbook rather useless as a mobile device.
I am using fedora 14 64 bit, using Dell latitude E6410 suddenly my wireless stop to work, in other laptops it is working. I hooked up the internet (non wireless) to my laptop and then he sign. i restart my laptop few times, how to diagnosis the problem..
i'm new to linux, and recently installed fedora 14 on an old hp pavillion dv2700. it originally had vista home premium, but the hard drive crashed and had to be replaced with a new one, which had no os on it. i installed fedora several days ago, and everything worked perfectly until a day ago when suddenly the wireless card wouldn't turn on anymore.
my sister was using the computer (just videos) and a few seconds after she handed it back to me, the wireless light turned from blue to amber, and it said wireless was diabled, even though i hadn't touched the switch. before the computer crashed, it had a problem of the light always being amber when it woke up from standby, but flipping the switch off and back on would fix it. now no amount of wiggling and flipping seems to do the trick.
I know theres a thread for this for fc9 but thats probably kind of outdated now. So I am trying to set up a wireless connection for a pc in my bedroom and just want something that will work out of the box.
I have HP 620 and i installed Fedora 14, but my wireless card doesn't work. My card is:02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvA Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10) Under Live Ubuntu the card works very well, but under fedora doesn't work.It's look like the fedora doesn't a driver.
I am looking for a wireless n card that will work "out of the box" on Fedora 14. I have a wireless card that i have to compile the drivers, the problem is getting the packages that are needed to compile, without internet. so does anyone know of a card like this. (has to be usb because i do not have a free pci slot)
I recently reinstalled Fedora 15 on my laptop and have been unable to get the wireless driver to work as it has before. I successfully installed the akmod-wl package from rpmfusion, built the akmod successfully, and rebooted with no success.
I use FC9. Yesterday after system update I turned of the computer, but today when it booted the wireless didn't work, ndiswrapper device wlan0:1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.I have removed and again installed the wireless driver and looks like it is ok,
[root@localhost utils]# ./ndiswrapper -r bcmwl6 [root@localhost utils]# ./ndiswrapper -i /fatfs/Archiv/Softwere/Drivers/Dr_software/bcmwl6.inf installing bcmwl6 ... [root@localhost utils]# after ndiwwrapper -m it gives warning( or error )[root@localhost utils]# ./ndiswrapper -m module configuration already contains alias directive [Code]....
Got new keyboard yesterday. Could easy set up it when was logged in. After reboot it doesn't work at all. Running fc11-2.6.32.21. Has anyone have any ideas / solutions?
I've currently got the beta of fedora 12 installed, hope to upgrade that once the final release comes out. I'm having so many problems getting wireless to work. I've got a edimax ew-7711utn wireless adaptor. It doesn't work. Really what I want is to take it back and get a wireless card that will work.
I did what i did before but cant decipher why it wont work. It did work after the initial kmod PAE install, but after the update and I assume kernel change it wont work.
I just installed Fedora 15 yesterday and can't get wi-fi to work. When I click 'on' on the Wireless label, it goes back to 'off' immediately. When I open the Network Settings menu and disable Airplane mode, the Wireless connection goes on and then off immediately. I took a look at /var/log/messages and it shows this:
I can get a dual band cisco ae1000 to work with fedora 15, but the same steps taken on opensuse don't work. Has anyone managed to get this card working on opensuse 11.4 x64? If so, I've tried compiling a driver and using the repo for an rt3572sta. neither worked. The way i hacked the program (following a fedora forum) worked in fedora but not opensuse. I've tried blacklisting cards and making sure the module loads on boot.
I am a convert from Ubuntu (9.04 kept freezing on my laptop; when it did work, many packages it seemed were outdated--ie only Eclipse 3.2, rdesktop was messed up [and apparently is also in Fedora]), and I am having some trouble with getting my wireless working.I am running Fedora 11.First off, there is a problem when trying to connect when using DHCP. NetworkManager gets to the second green dot, and then after a short while I am given a message that the connection was disconnected.
Configuring the interface manually, not using DHCP, allows the connection to complete. However, the internet is very slow. There is a 15-30 sec delay before website loading actually commences, and then another delay each time an ad must be fetched from another server.How can I fix this delay? I know I have encountered it in earlier versions of Ubuntu, but I can't remember how I fixed it.About the rdesktop problem, if anyone is able to help [maybe I should post another thread?], the cursor color (the color of the pointer) is inverted---where it should be white it is black, and where it should be black it is white. I use rdesktop a lot to connect to my terminal server in my basement. Any idea how to fix it?
I have installed Fedora 15 on a Mac mini 2.4. Everything works fine except the audio and wireless devices.
lspci shows this:
In the gnome, the network option only shows the wired connection. I tried to do yum install kmod-wl which downgraded the graphic display and didnt help in wireless issue. I reinstalled nvidia driver. the lspci is after doing all this stuff.
I'm having trouble getting my wifi devices to work on my 128bit WEP network. I have a new Thinkpad T400, with an internal Intel PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN. I also have some cardbus cards: a Lucent ORiNOCO Gold, a Linksys Wireless-G, and a TRENDnet TEW-421PC. I have them set up as interfaces eth2, eth1, and eth3. (The TRENDnet isn't recognised as a network card at all, so no interface for it.) I have installed the latest firmware for the Linksys card.
The /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files are virtually identical for all of them, differing only in the HWADDR and DEVICE lines. So here's the behaviour:
1. The Lucent card comes up just fine. 2. The internal 5100AGN and the Linksys cards won't come up, and watching with iwconfig shows that they're either associated with my AP OR they've got an encryption key set -- but not both. 3. When trying to bring up the 5100AGN, I get the following messages:
iwlagn: index 0 not used in uCode key table iwlagn: index 3 not used in uCode key table
/var/log/messages shows DHCPDISCOVER requests being sent, but they're bound to fail since the association with the AP with WEP isn't being completed. And yes, the ifcfg-* files really *are* identical except for the DEVICE and HWADDR lines. The /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file correctly maps the interfaces to the MAC addresses. So why does my antique ORiNOCO card work and thew newer ones fail? How can I track down what's being done wrong/not being done?
I wanted some input on chronic problems with Ubuntu:
1. Why does wireless almost never work right on Ubuntu?
2. Why, when Ubuntu just decides to turn off my wireless card, can I not just turn it back on?
3. Why do tar balls almost never unpack right?
4. Why are printer drivers so buggy?
5. Why do my MP3 players and digital cameras not work with Ubuntu?
I spent 3 hours last night trying to unpack a tar.bz2 file so I can run my Ralink network card. It worked fine until my son unplugged my computer. Now my card is disconnected and it will not reconnect. When I check forums no one has a simple answer for something as simple as turning a network card back on. On my Apple, it's simple: click my wireless icon and hit "on." tell me an easy way to just turn my wireless card back on, it would renew my faith a little in Linux.
I want to switch my laptop from XP to Ubuntu, but right now, i cant risk installing it. i dont want to have it partitioned so i can dual boot, so for now i only run the try-it-out mode.Before i consider installing though, i want to see if i can get everything to work ahead of time, that way im not regreting instalation. I have a Compaq Presario V2000 laptop, with 55GB hard drive and 516MB ram. So far, the trial mode is working great, but the wireless will not work. Ive tried to install the driver, but i am unable to do so. I have looked this up, and i have tried many things, and so far, none have worked.I was wondering if it was just part of the trial thing or not, but it is a Broadcom Wireless BCM4318 driver
