I had two potential converts to Fedora this week, but had to go windows because I could not demonstrate how the Internet worked with the Live CD. In both cases networking did not catch the wireless card. In one instance I just ignored what card that was, but the other, I wrote it down: Lenovo p/n 42T0865 Intel 802.11 Kedron Am I doomed to failing with wireless NICs on the live CD? Any suggestions?
p.s it is hard enough to get people to switch due to that lack of applications (usually Quick Books, Acrobat Professional, various tax software, UPS World Ship, FedEx Ship, various business-to-business web sites that only support IE), without the Live CD failing to demonstrate how well Linux works.
I have no means of interface with the internet on the machine in question until gcc is available to compile the drivers for my abhorrently incompatible wireless. My router only supports local connection via Ethernet. I have been hunting down dependencies for the past few hours and have come to a dead end. By my current path
Code: <could not do simulate: Can't install <filepath>/glibc-2.11.2-3.x86_64.rpm as no transaction > is giving me trouble
I don't particularly care what version within reason, I just need a list of specific packages and locations to get gcc running without yum or equivalent means of downloading to the machine itself. Alternatively, a solution to my current error looks promising as I think I have all of the compatible packages for this one. here are the packages on the flash drive I have been using
I want to connect my modem straight to my fedora 13 box, using it as a firewall, and I want to use my wireless card to set up an ad-hoc to give internet to the windows computers in my house. My router has been messing up and I am trying to create a quick fix until I can solve the problem.
My eth0 has internet connectivity but when I use the brctl command to try to create a bridge it doesn't let me add my wireless card, wlan0, and also I lose internet while my eth0 is in a bridge. I am fairly new to Linux.
I really haven't used Fedora that much lately. I decided to give 14 a try and I wanted to duel boot with LXDE in case Debian SID crashes or there are other issues. Brief run down. I have both Debian and Fedora on seperate hard drives, both Encrypted LVM. Each hard drive has, of course, a boot partition that is not encrypted.
Now my issues are this. Fedora does not want to see Debian, Debian does not want to see Fedora (Lover quarrel I think.) Anyways I decided to just install G.A.G boot loader to the MBR and have grub installed on the boot partition for both Debian and Fedora. This worked great for Debian. However I can't seem to get the same grub commands to work with Fedora. As root I can't update-grub at all and when I try to grub-install to Fedora's boot partition it tells me that partition is not in the BIOS.
Now Truecrypt installed fine. But it will not run at all. Not when I click it in the accessories menu or if I try to run it for the command line. This is the first distro I ever had issues with concerning Truecrypt.
I have an Asus R1F laptop with a build in wireless card. I also have 2 USB dongles that we used to use old desktop machines. All of the cards work fine in Ubuntu. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, 2.6.35-22-generic-pae.
The problem is that I have really bad signal on my side of the house and the connection is dropped quite often. I've tried just connecting on the devices at the same time, they all connect fine but nothing actually works. I read about bonding interface cards on this blog and that would solve all my problems - if a usb dongle could act as a backup for when the normal connection is dropped and while it is reconnecting.
I tried what was written and also did some Googling, but every way that I try seems to work fine until 2 wireless devices are bonded. When that happens they both disconnect and reconnect like crazy. This happens both with and without network manager running.
Build in card[wlan0]: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG USB[wlan1]: Cisco LinkSys Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter USB[wlan2]: Realtek RTL 818713 WLAN Adapter I load the module: Code: modprobe bonding mode=1 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200
i don't understand what I am doing wrong. I started a CentOS Vm through Vmware server 1.05 When I run the machine I preform Dhclient and my machine gets an IP internet works fine.
When I change my IP to static everything stops working I cant ping anything anymore I cant ping my server I cant ping my gateway I cant ping google My config is done through Webmin but I know it can also be done through /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 My hosts file has this
127.0.0.1 localhost srvspam my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file has this BOOTPROTO=none NAME="" MACADDR="" HWADDR=00:0C:29:59:91:DE
I have a laptop and a Broadcom 4322AG Wireless adapter in it. I am using Fedora 11 64 bit Live. instructions to install and configure my internet connection in Linux. I dont know how to install drivers in linux though I have Got a 64 bit driver from Broadcom Website. In windows, my internet connection doesnt need any password to access. It get connected to internet when I turn on wireless.
On a new ASUS eee PC 1015P, the Windows 7 o/s supplied works fine. Experimenting with a Fedora 14 Linux o/s, currently just booting to a Live User system on a USB Stick, there is no wireless networking. In case it is relevant, the wireless LAN Card details (as reported from lspci) are: Ralink RT3090 802.11n 1T/1R Wireless LAN Card Driver Version 3.1.6.1 Should I be expecting wireless to be working on the USB version, do I need to do a full install to get wireless or is it maybe a drivers problem?
I have a server that provides the access to the net. It has 3 nics 2 Realtek 100mb and a ne2000 isa 10mb card for the net. I ran an update from a working configuration on Fedora 9 to Fedora 10 with yum upgrade. Fedora 10 does not find the the ne2000 at boot time. After booting I can modprobe ne and the nic is found in a new network restart call. Has something changed how modules are loaded before udev runs?
Then there is the problem that nics are assigned the wrong interfaces(eth*). I have configured it in sysconfig with the files ifcfg-eth(0-2). I do not run NetworkManager. Has something changed in the configuration how the interfaces are assigned to the nics via the mac addresses?
I have tried to change the net profile of udev but since the ne2000 is not found at boot time but had no success. And one of the Realtek nics is not found at some times.
I'm using Fedora 12 on a box with 2 separate NICs in different subnets. The problem is that after a reboot, both NICs always show up as eth0 when you left click on the networking icon on the top right. I have to manually change one of them to eth1 & then things start working.
I've just installed Fedora 10 to basically work as a NAS for another machine - but also serve a couple of web pages. After having alot of issues with network manager (with it changing the subnet so nothing would work), I'm now almost there:
I have two network cards connected in the server: 1) eth0 connects to a switch that ultimately connects it to the net (on a 10.0.0.* network) 2) eth1 connects directly into another server for backups (192.168.0.* network).
Now when I setup eth0, I get network access can ping/ update/ surf the net - absolutely no problems, but when I connect eth1 in - the net dies and nothing works, I can ping devices on both the 10.0.* and 192.168.* networks, just nothing past the gateway. I presume this is either a route or DNS issue, but am unsure about where its falling foul - both the resolv.conf file looks fine as do the ifcfg-ethx scripts.
I have a program that attaches to an interface. I can run two copies of the program on two systems (each running one instance), connect it to a switch, say 1.1.1.1 & 1.1.2.1. In this configuration two instances of the program can communicate and everything is fine.Now, to reduce cost, it want to use only one system with two nics connected to the same switch, running two instances of the above program, each instance attached to two interfaces respectively on the system. I have the following settings:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX inet addr:1.1.1.1 Bcast:1.1.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
I have several Proxy severs set up at our business. I always do the same basic config, except for my version of Fedora (I always grab the newest).
I put 2 nics in a machine Load Squid, Dansguardian and Firestarter. I use Firestarter to direct the surfing traffic from my LAN out a cable modem that I have for each store. This lessons the bandwidth on the T1.
Easy enough. My problem is Firestarter has always been a little flaky. But as of F11 the gui wont stay up for more than a few minutes at a time. It still functions, but you have to be quick if your going to use it because it will inevitable crash.
So I suppose it's time to start doing this the correct way and using IP Tables. Does anybody have a resource they can point me to that will help me understand how to do this? It looks like this might be as simple as setting it up with the GUI Firewall tool that comes with F12 but I'm still not exactly sure how.
i have a Server, which has 2 nics installed. Each of those is connected to a router, which is connected to internet. On the server, i have apache, maillserver and im-server running. On the other hand, also squid, dansguardian and clam are running. so now: via eth0 i would like to have just the traffic, which is requested from outside (the big bad internet..) to my server (apache, mail, etc). via eth1 i would like to have all OUTGOING (also to the big bad internet) from the server, which is requested by a internal client. And of course all requests to my own server
both nics shall route their traffic to their own router. For better comprehension please consult the enclosed graph. Until now, i did not find a good solution, the default route is set to the traffic from eth0, if not, no external request will find back to a client do you have a idea how to handle this the easiest way?
Wireless worked fine on live cd, but for some reason not after install. I think maybe the driver is not loading, but I am a pretty much still a noob, so my opinion isn't worth much. If it is the driver not loading, I don't know what to do to fix it. Here is my wireless output information.
Code: linux:/home/linux # lspci -nnk 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub [8086:27a0] (rev 03) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:ff10] Kernel driver in use: agpgart-intel [Code]....
I am trying out the Debian 6.01 Live Cd but I can't get my wireless to work. This is on an old Dell C610 laptop running Windows XP, the wireless works fine under XP. Dell TrueMobile 1150 Series Mini PCI Card (on Texas Instruments PCI-1410 cardbus control).
Here's what I have done so far. Booted Live 686. Takes a long time on this old machine but finally loads with no apparent problems. My wireless network is detected- shows up in the list - 2SAT4, along with several others in the area. I click on it, after a bit it finally comes up with the wireless authentication form, I complete this with my WPA key and hit connect. This repeats without connecting.
I then goto edit connections, and make sure the wireless "auto 2SAT4" has "infrastructure" for mode and "automatic" for MTU. It does. I also make sure the Authentication is set to "Open System".
Looking at lsmod I can see that the orinoco module seems to be loaded, I think that is what this wireless card uses.
At terminal I do a "sudo iwconfig" and see that Eth0 has no ESSID or Access Point. I do the following:
I then do a "sudo iwconfig" and see that Eth0 still has no ESSID or Access Point. I then do a "sudo iwlist eth0 scan" and the response is "Interface doesn't support scanning" I then do a "sudo iwlist eht0 wpakeys" and the response is there are four keys available but they are all off.
I want to upgrade the installation of Ubuntu on my laptop. However since I prefer a clean install I made a bootable USB with the 10.10 64 bit edition on it.
I can Boot from the USB fine but then it tries to connect to the wireless, it sees it's WPA secured asks for the password and then it tries for 20 seconds and asks for the password again.
I've checked the password by reentering it in my current 10.04 install and it works fine there, but connecting with the live cd is a no go.
I have a dell 1737 with an intel 1510 half mini card.
Wonderful Debian 6 in live mode! Using it with my EeePc 901 with ralink rt2860sta wireless Doing lsmod, rt2860sta is on 0 (it means, donīt charged) How can I use my wireless rt2860sta in live mode?
So I have been testing out the Ubuntu Live CD 10.04 on my PowerBook G4 and most everything seems to be working fine (with the exception of wireless and the dim/brighten buttons.) When connected to the internet via ethernet cable, I was able to download the broadcom hardware (I guess needed to make wireless work??) This is pictured below. However, even after the hardware thing was activated, when I unplugged the ethernet cord and clicked on the icon for wireless internet under wireless, it says, "Device not ready." Can you get wireless to work with the live cd?
Booting into a live desktop from USB, the correct wireless drivers pop-up to be installed even when not connected to the internet. But upon installing Ubuntu the only way to install these drivers is through a wired connection. Any thoughts as to why this is? I'd love to be able to run any version of Ubuntu out of the box, but experience always brings back the ethernet cable.
I'm considering installing Debian on my Toshiba A660 laptop but I want to be sure the wireless connection will work. I have Windows 7 on it already on it and it has a Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter. Is there an easy way to set up a wireless connection and will it work on a live CD to test it?
Just fooling around with a live image, thinking about dumping Ubuntu for a straight Debian install and I can't get wireless running on it. Is this a "known issue?"
I do recall being able to at least figure out Debian enough that I got my wireless working (a few years back). Today I popped in a fresh Live LXDE DVD. I can't find that my wireless is recognized, nor can I find any graphical network management utilities. Nothing network related. Perhaps its all in the command line, but I'm not too familiar with it (though I'm not averse to following instructions if I can use that to simply fix this issue).
I did look at documentation first. To the best of my ability anyway. I could not use it to help myself. Once I get internet working, at least I can trouble shoot on the Debian installation itself, which makes the process much easier. Having to switch out to a Windows installation is a pain.
That is what I do to connect to Xbox Live and I just got an Insignia Blu-ray player that can only connect to BD-Live through an Ethernet connection, so I was wondering if I could apply that same concept to my Blu-ray player.
Running 10.4 only on this desktop. Did some upgrades this morning and now it only boots to the grub> prompt. So I went into the Live CD and am trying to reinstall/update grub from the terminal in the live cd however I can't get an internet connection. My DLink G122 isn't recognized (no lights) so I tried hardwiring the ethernet and eth0 is there but it fails to connect. I installed the Broadcom driver but now when I click on Hardware Drivers I only see a display driver listed.
I'm working on an Ubuntu Live 10.10 (Maverick) and I'm trying to make my wireless Broadcom card to work. Installing Ubuntu on the hard disk there's no problem activating it, but unfortunately in the lately I'm working ONLY on the Live version (from a USB Flash drive).
Under Ubuntu Live I tried to Activate the "Broadcom STA wireless driver" but, after downloading, it returns an error saying a very few detailed error:
"SystemError: installArchives() failed"
... and I cannot understand where is the problem or what to do to solve it. I already tried to run "jockey-gtk" with "sudo" but it is not a permission issue. The error came out anyway.
I own an EeePC 701; right now I'm giving 10.04.1 a test run on it, using a live usb.
The EeePC has an Atheros wireless card, but live Lucid doesn't detect it. Here's the output from a ifconfig command:
Code:
Will the card be detected by a properly-installed Lucid? Is there some package I need to install so I can use wireless? Or should I steer clear of installing Lucid on my EeePC?
