Fedora Networking :: F9 And RT2500 - Card Works But No IP Address
Mar 30, 2009
I have an auxillary laptop that I use with Fedora 9 on it. Up until now, I have been using wireless just fine with a an old Marvell card. A friend needed a wireless card, so I gave it to her because I had a spare Belkin card (PCMIA) with a RT2500 chipset. This chipset has been supported in Fedora for a long time, and it does it fact work but it will not obtain an IP address and disconnects from the Network Manager upon every attempt to connect.. I get an error that says "set bit rate" failed and I cannot get assigned an IP address from my router.
I do not use encryption. Nothing I have tried with sysconfig-network has had any affect.
iwlist scan finds the router just fine with a good signal, but will not connect.

I'm new to Linux and I have a problem with the Wireless connection.I've already searched for this problem but found so many threads it was impossible to sort it out.I've just installed Fedora 13 (Live CD - Install to Hard Drive) and apparently it's kinda... "empty". But my problem is with the wireless connection. There is a free network provided by my city for all the citizens. It is Open (authentication) for all. The problem is I can't "see" the network in Feodra. In Windows 7 I can "see" it just fine with 3 bars signal strength. It is great for surfing and emails. It is not intended for heavy downloading.
Why can't I "See" this network? There is another weird thing. The neighbor above me has a Wireless access point closed of course but I get 44% signal strength in Fedora and Full bars in Windows. Does it have to do anything? Maybe the low signal of the free network is the problem and Fedora makes it disappear completely?

I have a now pretty old PC, I think it is 400 Mhz Pentium II, on which I installed a Linksys WMP54G 802.11g PCI card, and on which I wanted to run Fedora 10, but I can't get the wlan card working. As I had a vague memory of having it seen working before, I reverted to Fedora 9, and it worked, at least before I made an update of it. So I took a closer look at it, and besides finding out that there is nothing wrong with my PC and the WLAN card, I also found some oddities. My feeling is that the configuration settings in Network Configuration window seems a bit unrelated to the behavior of the system. Here is a summary of what I found:
1) The WMP54G/RaLink does neither work rightly after installation of Fedora-10-i386, and nor after updating it.
2) The WMP54G/RaLink device worked rightly after installation of Fedora-9-i386, but not after updating it.
3) It seems strange to me that there is no wlan0 entry in the Network Configuration window, neither for fc9 nor for fc10. (There is an eth0 entry though.) It feels even stranger that the systems connects anyway over wireless, even though there is no wlan0 entry, both for fc9 and fc10.
4) After having manually added wlan0 in Network Configuration window, it seems strange to me that the system tries to connect via wlan0, e.g. after a restart and login even though nothing is checked in the Wireless Device Configuration window for wlan0. (I believe this oddity is valid for eth0 too).
5) For Fedora 10, I get prompted to save the network configuration even in the case nothing has been changed.

I have a problem with Samba. I've already configured my SMB.conf file, but I can't connect to my Windows shares by their host name. for example: if I try to connect to GDEA73-PC-1 share = netshare, server connection fails. if I try to connect to 192.168.1.171 then share = netshare, it works. How do I fix this? When I run findsmb, I am on the GDEA73 NETWORK workgroup as I configured, but my local PC is the only one on it...

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my old laptop the other day, but it seems that Wifi card is having some troubles with co-operating The wired connection works like a charm but I'd prefer wireless on the laptop....I know the laptop is an oldy (PH Easynote R1904)
Edit:
here's the LSPCI output:

I have a rt2500 wireless USB adapter ( WLI-U2-KG54-AI ). I tried to use it on 2 computers loaded with Ubuntu 9.10. It worked well in WEP mode, but I am now trying to connect to a WPA router and the connection fails (the network manager icon keeps rolling forever). WPA works well on those machines when using another wireless adapter (not rt2500 based). This adapter also works well with WPA under windows. Is this device supposed to work with Ubuntu in WPA mode

So the problem is that phpMyAdmin does not want to connect to host name (at remote server) but connects to that same server fine if it's ip address is used. Command line "mysql -h hostname ..." works fine and connects to host name. Mysqladmin also works.
it's giving error:
*****
Error
MySQL said:
#2005 - Unknown MySQL server host 'host.name' (2)
******
I've disabled SElinux and temporarily disabled Iptables but no luck.
Somehow I feel MySQL is not doing DNS lookup when used by Apache/PHP. So it just understands ip addresses.
I found that on MySQL startup you can disable DNS lookup. [URL]
Not sure if it's disabled and how to enable it at startup. Could not find anything at "System" -> "Administration" -> "Services".
Here is similar case with no solution [URL]

My wireless on my Ubuntu desktop is really slow compared to my windows laptop. Its not a flash problem or a browser specific problem.
I have searched the forums but can't find much.
I did disable ipv6 (it now shows up as being 'ignored' in network Manager which is correct, right?) but that hasn't helped.
It doesn't make a difference whether I use DHCP for everything or just for address only with the Google DNS addresses.
After entering 'lspci' my card shows up as
Code:
Because of a problem with system freezes I have updated to the 2.6.33-020633rc7 kernal but this hasn't had any impact one way or another on wireless speeds.
My router is a Belkin WRT300n.

I have a server with 2 network cards. eth0 is used for all traffic and everything is working fine on this side. Eth1 is used for traffic to and from 1 ip address.
Lets say the ip address of eth1 is 123.123.123.10 and its gateway is 123.123.123.1. I need to pass all traffic to 123.123.123.20 through eth1. What command would i use?

I am running Linux AS4 Update version. I have one lan card and the primary IP-Address is 192.168.0.215 & subnet is 255.255.255.0
Now I want to assign an alternative IP-Address on the same card & the IP I want to assign is 192.168.15.215.
I run the following command from root user:
Now when I ping this IP 192.168.15.215 From Windows machine then its reply me & properly reply comming from this Ip.
But when I want to access this Ip by \192.168.15.215 from run prompt then it gave me error. The specified network name is no longer available..
I already restart the machine & network service but the problem remains same.

I have bought two Asus NX1101 gigabit cards for my kubuntu box and ubuntu server box. The cards are automatically detected as eth1. However the speed is set to 100mbit instead of 1gbit.
ifconfig eth1 .....
capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list rom ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation
configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=Sundance Technology IPG Triple-Speed Ethernet duplex=full ip=130.89.169.33 latency=64 maxlatency=10 mingnt=80 multicast=yes port=MII speed=100MB/s
resources: irq:17 ioport:ec00(size=256) memory:f7d00000-f7d000ff memory:f7c00000-f7c0ffff(prefetchable)
I noticed that both lshw and ethtool claim that the card does not support 1000mbit. So changing the speed manually with ethtool doesn't work. In windows XP the card works as it should.

I have found a few older threads that have asked a similar question, but wonder if updates and new devices have improved the situation:
Is there a PCI (not express) 802.11n adapter that will work with 9.04/Jaunty "out of the box"?

I have a Broadcom based PCMCIA wifi card that works great on an older kernel in Debian after a friend of mine did the fwcutter business.
I just installed Backtrack 4 release version on another laptop. While this card works right out of the box the sensitivity is greatly reduced. The built in wifi card (Intel chipset) can see twice as many APs at any given time.
Now, I know that Broadcom chipsets are not the best but this card normally has fantastic sensitivity and Tx power plus an external antenna connector so I really need to get it working properly. When it's working properly under Linux or Windows it blows the competition away.

To add a new IP address for the network card in the fedora, the only thing I have to do is to copy the file ifcfg-eth0 which is under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ to a new filename called ifcfg-eth0:1 and change the IP address and the DEVICE?
OK, what about other files as following code...
They will be changed automatically if i changed the file under the network-scripts or i have to change them manual?
Am I miss any thing else need to be done?

I was uninstalling some programs through the package manager, then restarted. When my netbook turned back on, I had no internet connection and the WiFi icon wasn't showing in the notification area as it usually does either. Says the card is functioning properly and everything. Other devices can connect to the WiFi.I'm kind of new to Ubuntu and searched around a bit, but am at a loss. HP Mini 110Ubuntu 10.10Broadcom BCM4313Edit: Quote:$ sudo ifconfig -s

I have a second network card in my ubuntu desktop that I have sharing my internet connection with a wireless router. I have set the router to a static ip address within the network cards range. But, every time I restart the computer, the network card uses a different ip address. One time it will be 10.42.43.1, the next time it will be 10.42.46.1, ect. This makes me have to hard reset my router every time it does this. How can I set the network card to use the same ip address all the time?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T61 using an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. My laptop's ability to connect to a wireless network stopped last night, and I'm not sure why. It's definitely something on my end, as my roommate can connect to the internet on a Windows box. I can wire in without a problem, but that's a pain and my Ethernet cable got lost in the shuffle when I moved back to school. I've been able to get into this network before and nothing about it has changed. I've been able to hibernate and restart and such and nothing has ever needed to be reset.
The router's a D-Link WBR-2310. Wicd and Network Manager see the network (I'm back to using wicd) , but wicd appears to get stuck at "Obtaining IP address..." and says "Unable to connect: Cannot obtain IP address". I know my password is correct (I set up the router and I'm the CS undergrad in the apartment so I manage it), lspci sees the wireless card, ifconfig and iwconfig return information about the interface, dmesg|grep wlan0 doesn't seem to have anything terribly out of the ordinary, but here's that output:
Code:
allyanncah@taliesin:~% dmesg | grep wlan0
[ 23.514202] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[ 36.609016] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[ 38.756143] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:24:01:cb:4e:7e (try 1)
[ 38.758791] wlan0: direct probe responded
[ 38.758796] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:24:01:cb:4e:7e (try 1)
[ 38.760587] wlan0: authenticated
[ 38.760609] wlan0: associate with AP 00:24:01:cb:4e:7e (try 1)
[ 38.763318] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:24:01:cb:4e:7e (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1)
[ 38.763322] wlan0: associated
[ 38.765502] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready .....
I've tried:
- reinstalling wicd
- uninstalling wicd and installing network-manager
- restarting
- shutting down and booting back up
- restarting the router
- sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
- taking the interface down and back up with ifconfig
I haven't changed anything recently in regards to my wireless card, and all the fixes I've tried are things I've done before without an issue. The only thing I'm wondering about is if doing a hard reset might have broken something (I know this is a cardinal sin, but there's a whole 'nother problem I haven't been able to fix with the OS hanging every once in a while over a VPN daemon when it tries to shut down or restart -- I've left it for hours to see if it actually gets anywhere and no luck, won't do a soft reset). I'm nervous about reinstalling the driver just because I've never had to do it and drivers are a finicky business. I imagine there's a config error somewhere?

I bought a Buffallo Router WZR-HP-G300-NH with NAS, and I am able to mount the NAS with the "Connect to Server" drop down menu in Nautilus as a "Windows Share". All good so far. The eventual idea is that I would like to write my backups to this NAS drive. I can't find this drive in /mnt or /media. Not sure where to look. Because I can't find it in anything other than Nautilus, I can't direct a backup or sync to a location I can't find. If I can solve this problem, the next thing I will need to do is figure out how to automount on startup.
I am using several Ubuntu based Gnome distributions of various ages, oldest about 10.4, all behave the same (one Zorin, another Mint, another Ubuntu, 3 kids, no viruses!!!).

I recently installed Ubuntu x64 on my dell studio 1535 using the windows installer (wubi).
All seems to be working fine apart from the built in wireless card, the proprietary driver (found in hardware drivers) installs and activates successfully and works perfectly. Until I shut down or restart the system. On the next boot the wireless card is 'disabled' and no longer works.
The card I have is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
I am going to try a proper install on a second partition rather than using wubi later on but wondered if this was a commonly occuring problem?
The wireless card works as soon as the driver installs, however I am shown a "restart to activate driver" message and after restarting it's dead.

Just installed Fedora 14 from the Live CD i686 on my Dell Inspiron 1521. I can't connect to the SpeedTouch 585 on either wireless broadcom card or the wired Ethernet card.
I can connect to it from the same Laptop on the Vista which is on dual boot on the same laptop.
Further confusing is that I ran Fedora 14 and connected to another SpeedTouch today.
Already checked the Channel on the wireless nic and it's on the same one as the SpeedTouch.

I would like to enable the web app so that it could be browse from outside. I know there maybe some port forwarding process and some commands involved in order to do that. But I have no idea on the steps to do that.

Version 10.04 LTS. Installed desktop version and network worked but I needed a static IP address and the install configures for a DHCP configured address. I tried changing to static address using the System->Preferences->Network Connections application but was unable to get the system to come up with the network up.
So I manually modified the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. I restart the system but when I do an ifconfig, I don't see a configured IP address on eth0 (only the loopback address). If I run /sbin/ifup eth0 everything then works fine and ifconfig shows the correct address bound to eth0.
My files are as follows:
