Fedora Networking :: No Wireless Access After 15 Upgrade
Aug 6, 2011
I have upgraded Intel Core2 Duo (Macbook Pro laptop) system to Fedora 15. I believe I have the proper firmware driver installed for my wireless network adapter. In Gnome I can click on the network status icon and select my wireless network, however nothing happens after that. Fedora does not prompt for my wireless network password, and no network connectivity is established. What can I do that would get my system to connect to the wireless network?

OK, what I want to do, I think is possible but I dont kno name of it or how 2 do it under even windows for that matter. I have my current PC connected via Ethernet directly to my house router. Now on this Motherboard, I also have a wireless nic that I have no plans on usin. Can I turn it in2 an access point/wifi for other devices like iPods, Wii, Labtops, ect?Also, how would I do it if not Wifi, use the other Ethernet port to plug up say a labtop. In which the labtop uses the net I am getting from the router?

Here's the issue: from time to time I have to take away my son's access to the internet, so I exclude his laptop from my wireless Linksys router. Works like a charm, or it did until he discovered that my neighbor also has a wireless router, and hasn't secured it.
So my son sits in the corner of the house closest to my neighbor and uses their internet.
Is there any way I can tell his laptop to NOT access a particular router? Or even better, to only access my router?

I am building a CarPC which I'd like to have wireless internet access on. I have Verizon phone service so if there is a Verizon air card (not wireless card, an air card so I can have constant access without having to search for hot spots) that would work with Fedora 10 I would be very happy. I don't really know where to start and I can't find too much on Google, so I'm just looking for what options are available.

I have a laptop with Fedora installed and an iPad.The only connection to internet in my house is wireless router. It has strong signal to catch it with laptop in every corner in my house, but not strong enough for an iPad..Since my iPad is mostly near my laptop, I'd like make my laptop to be turned to wireless repeater or that serves as access point so I can connect to network with an iPad.How can I do that from my Fedora machine?

I've been using fedora on my Lenovo R61i since I got it...I believe the first version I used on this laptop was f10. I always try to keep it on the latest distro and I also enjoy a clean install every year or so. One thing I was always impressed with was how quickly I could go from sleep to back up and online. So I decided it was time for a clean install this weekend to fedora 15. Now when I wake it up (open the lid), it takes over a minute for the wifi to connect again. This hasn't been the case for the last 4 distro's so I'm wondering what I can do to speed that process back up, is there a particular package I can downgrade or is this something on their radar already and I should just wait for an upgrade?

I upgraded from kernel-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64 to kernel-2.6.38.7-30.fc15.x86_64. After the upgrade I no longer have a wireless interface in Network Management. I have a broadcom BCM4312, booting the previous kernel solves this problem.

I have fedora 10 and am having problems with the wireless access. My computer uses the Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless Adapter. It connects to the network, it gets an ip address and a broadcast address, but it loses connection within 3 min. I'm also new dealing with linux and fedora.

I'm trying to make my F10 Laptop a wireless Access point.
When I 'iwconfig wlan1 mode Master' I get:
SET failed on wlan1; Invalide argument.
wlan1 is a Netgear WG111v2 which worked as soon as I plugged it in after I installed F10.
I don't know is it not supported? What is? Is there a different driver I can put on that will work in master mode.
What should I do basically?

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?

This is my first time here and I'm very much a beginner to Linux. I installed Fedora 14 and found out I didn't have wireless. I found this beautiful guide online posted by Stoat:

but unfortunately, I live in an apartment and can only get access to wireless internet. I hope I'm posting in the correct place. Anyways, this is my setup:

$lspci

I have a Broadcom wireless card in my hp dv6500z laptop, I had it all working properly in FC9 thanks to bbfuller and his post on the subject. After I upgraded to FC11 I have been unable to get it to connect.
I can see my neighbor's sites and suppose I could see my own if the SSID was allowed to broadcast but I keep that turned off. I put in all of the setting, including the network security key, but it won't connect, then when I go back and look again, the security key is not even close to what I put in; it gets changed to a huge string of characters.
I redownloaded broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2.tar and followed the instruction on the post once again but no luck, which, after I thought about it, was a waste of time because if I can see other's wireless, then the card must be working. I have tried using Network Manager and not using Network Manager and still no luck...

I am unable to access wireless network from my notebook. My configuration is Dell i5, 4GB RAM and 1397 W-LAN and I have F13. I can still access Internet through Ethernet using a LAN cable but the network monitor doesn't show list of Wireless networks which my room mate's windows 7 machine easily detects.
If anyone needs more info please provide me the steps to perform to find that out

After my "upgrade" to 10.04 I am unable to access the internet at home with wireless using Firefox, but am able to access the router. I am however able to access the internet at work, both use WPA password protection. I was also able to do the updates over wireless at home, despite not being able to access the internet. I am currently at work, and downloaded Google Chrome and did not import settings from Firefox, to see if there were any settings issues with Firefox itself.

one of these "WiFi works in Gnome, not in KDE" threads, but I have been all over google and hundreds of threads across different sites and can't figure this one out.As mentioned, wireless is peachy in Gnome, unfortunately I like KDE and I'm more productive using it (when I have internet). Wired network works fine in KDE, and my network card

Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Vostro 1520, replacing a non-functional Vista OS.
I'm currently connected via ethernet cable but would really prefer not to have to be.
My Network Manager Applet 0.8.1 when moused over displays "networking disabled". Left-click yields "No network devices are available". Right-clicking shows the option to enable networking but it's blacked out.
lshw -c net yields the following:

I moved my server and network equipment, and now the wireless works but I cannot get my server online. I host a website, so this is kind of urgent.
I have a wireless router and can access the internet fine on my laptop. My server is wired & connected to the router. It sets up the networking properly.. ifconfig has an ip address, the default gateway is present. But I cannot ping google, or even the router. It says destination host unreachable.
So I go back to the laptop to check the router settings.. sometimes it likes to assign the server the wrong internal ip. But, I can't access the router settings either! The page (192.168.1.1) times out. Same with trying to ping the router. How can the laptop be online if it can't reach the router?
Oddly, ifconfig on my laptop reports an ip address starting with 99.233. It's always given me an internal address starting with 192.168. What's going on here? Is the router not allocating an internal ip? I use wicd to connect, if it's relevant.
We have a windows laptop that can only get a "local connection". Now it does sound like the router is forwarding directly to my laptop, instead of allocating internal ips.

My university has a central leased line that is split into wired and wireless. While plugged into the wired network i can access all the windows shares. However when on the wireless network, i cant access the wired shares. Windows laptops can however access them, but directly entering the share name ( \share-name)
I am using Ubuntu 10.04.

Currently I have a HP G62 Laptop and it's been great but recently I've started getting really inconsistent wireless access. When I boot up the computer - it will connect to the wireless and work for awhile but 10-15 minutes later, websites stop loading entirely so I have to restart to get it to reconnect. If I don't restart and disconnect/reconnect... it doesn't do anything, it shows it trying to connect and then a weird "hiccup" happens and it tries again until it finally decides that it cannot connect. I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu I believe.

I have Debian installed on my laptop. When the laptop is connected to the network via ethernet cord, I can ssh into it fine. However if I switch to wireless, I can no longer SSH in.
I have confirmed SSHD is running.
I am switching between wired/wireless by editing /etc/network/interfaces and re-booting the laptop.
The laptop can connect to the internet, and SSH into other computers on the LAN just fine with either connection. But they can't connect to it when it's wireless.
When it's wireless, the laptop can SSH into itself as well.
My iptables is set to allow everything.
They're both on the same subnet.

I'd like to use one of the popular USB wireless modems for Internet access. If Linux supports this, I assume that the required driver is in the kernel, and that connection would be automatic. Has anyone had experience with this?

I am writing this using the 2.6.31-17 generic kernel after rebooting and selecting NOT to use the 2.6.31-18 kernel which was just installed. The newer kernel would not recognize/activate my Atheros AR2418 wireless adapter and, when I connected to the ethernet and did updates, there were no hardware drivers available. I haven't needed proprietary drivers since I upgraded to 9.04 and 9.10 works fine with older kernel.

NOTE: My upgrade wasn't smooth. Now everything is extremely slow. However if I boot from the disc to try without installing, the connection problem is still there. There is an exclamation mark on the connection applet, right clicking shows that Enable Wireless is unchecked and unclickable. I've included outputs of common network commands which might prove to be useful.
Code:
[~] ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:33:60:f0:3c
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

I have a thinkpad using the iwl3945 driver (Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.26ks).
This worked flawless until I upgraded to 10.04. Now after a while my connection drops. Syslog is appended.

I upgraded from 9.x to 10.10. Under 9.x my wireless usb dongle worked correctly. After upgrade it does not. I checked the dongle on another machine and it works correctly. I inserted a usb memory stick and the system found it as a drive correctly. I assume from this that both the dongle and usb port are ok. The wireless device is a D-Link G122 A2 which is on the supported list (it ran out of the box on 9.x). The link light did not even come on. So I installed ndiswrapper and the windows D-Link driver (note that this was not needed in 9.x). Now the link light comes on and the wireless router is found but the unit will still not connect.
The log file entries on dongle insertion are as follows:
It appears that the problem is with wlan0 not being ready. If this is the case how do I make it ready?

I have an out-of-the-box Belkin G wireless router. I also have a Linksys USB adapter on a particular box. When I run the Ubuntu 8.10 live CD on that box I can see the router's SSID, I supply the password, and all is fine. I think that rules out any problems with the router or the ISP.
When I run the Ubuntu 10.04 on that same box I can still see the SSID but when I try to connect to it the DHCP fails. Checking the system logs I see the DHCPDISCOVER entries but no corresponding DHCPOFFER responses. So this seems on the surface to be a DHCP problem. To get around this I tried to edit the connection to use manually supplied settings. On the 8.10 system I supplied:
Code:
IP=192.168.2.200,
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.2.1
DNS=192.168.2.1
and again all worked just fine. But when I supply the same values to the 10.04 system it does not work. Even attempts to ping the router (192.168.2.1) fail. So if this fails then perhaps the problem is more fundamental than DHCP? I have tried searching the net for quite a while and found a number of similar problems, but clear solutions seem to be lacking (or I haven't come across them). One common suggestion is to blacklist the ipv6 module. I tried that and it seemed to have no effect. Since this worked so well in 8.10 and doesn't work in 10.04.
