Fedora Networking :: Unable To Start Wifi - WPA Passwd Always Requested
Jul 14, 2011
I'm fighting to make wifi work on an HP dv6-3194.
The symptom is that I'm always asked to enter the WPA passwd.
1-This is a fresh FC15 install:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon May 9 20:36:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
2- Network interfaces are detected:
3- pci card is RT3090
4- lsusb returns:
5- lsmod returns:
6- iwlist wlan0 scanning detects wifi networks without problems.
7- relevant dmesg entries:
8- wpa_supplicant.log
I've tried many suggestions from this forum about RT3090 or RT2800, but none worked :-(none seemed to be close to my problem:
Most of them relates to interface not seen, wifi networks not detected, system freeze.

we know that /etc/passwd - is a replica of /etc/passwd file and acts as a backup in any damage done to /etc/passwd file..i have observed a strange thing in RHEL 5.4....for example... if /etc/passwd has 100 accounts.. then /etc/passwd - is having only 99 accounts....when i add 101 useraccount with "useradd" then /etc/passwd has 101 accounts and /etc/passwd is having the 100th account of /etc/passwd - ..when i delete /etc/passwd and recover it with /etc/passwd - from runlevel 1 the lastly created user is not having his account after recovery.. what is the solution? this is same case even with /etc/shadow and /etc/shadow -

I use Network Manager applet to connect to my lan (I don't use dhcp however). The problem is that my machine runs several servers (http, ftp, smb, ...) and should be ALWAYS accessible whenever the computer power is ON, even if there is no user logged. Another problem is that the connection is dropped if you logout and then login with a different user who doesn't know wireless settings (eg my mother, sister, brohter...)
So, is there a way to get a wireless connection at boot time? I mean, using Network Manager. Previously I used wicd or cli tools (iwconfig and wpa_supplicant) but then I switched to NM cause it was more ubuntuish. I'd still prefer not to use wicd, but NM really seems not good software to me

if some options are not really described but i use the german Version. I am new with Ubuntu and Network Manager. Everything ist working fine, but when i start my Netbook i always have to switch on my wifi by my self. Now my question: is there any way to give nm-applet the information with some start option to start with wifi swiched on? Inside the connection Options i already switched on "connect automatically" and "all users can use this connection" also i found the option inside /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-setings.conf

I have tried installing the original CD os 8.04 (Dell system restore) again hoping that everything was on there in order to get me connected to wifi again. Connecting to wifi seems to be the main issue that people have trouble with.I feel that I have 3 options now:
1. Sell the laptop (it is a month old!)
2. Pay for support
3. Put windows on it
It is a shame as I liked Ubuntu 9.10

I switched to the b43xx (lp-phy) driver, as opposed to the broadcom STA driver which I previously had. I have dell 8312b/g lp-phy(mini) wireless card.
I have the wireless detection, but when I attempt to connect to Fios WiFi it continuously asks for my WEP (I have the correct WEP and I have typed it in correctly) and fails to connect.
I've read about the driver and firmware on linuxwireless and kernel.wireless. org.
http://pastebin.com/w44Xbgw3 (lspci -nnk output)
http://pastebin.com/C5BDhgZ9 (iwconfig output - this printed while trying to access the network)
Why is this happening? How can I fix this?

As I reported in this bug:[URL].. root is not able to start an openvpn-connection via the "nmcli"-command to control NetworkManager, whereas my user does not run in any problems with this command. My error output when starting as root is as follows:
Code:
# nmcli con up id "my-openvpn"
Active connection state: unknown
Active connection path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/5
state: VPN connecting (need authentication) (2)
Error: Connection activation failed: no valid VPN secrets.
Does anybody know what to do about this strange behaviour? The vpn-secret seems to be stored in the gnome-keyring and in the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/my-openvpn simultaneously. But root cannot access any of these. Why this is important? I'm trying to set up a dispatcher-script to automatically start openvpn on eth-connection. but this does throw the exact error from above (no valid vpn secrets..).

I own an Acer Aspire 5552g. I have installed 2 systems on it: Windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine except wifi. There is a lot of threads connected to this topic, but none has solved my problem yet. The problem occurs when I hibernate Windows and then load ubuntu - I get unable to turn wifi on. As rfkill says - it is hard blocked. It wouldn't be a problem if i had a hard switch for wifi. but I only have fn+F3 for that, which somehow fails to work in my situation.
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:~$ rfkill list
1: phy1: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
If I reboot Windows and then start ubuntu - everything's fine and working. fn+F3 turns wifi on and off as expected. I will provide some more info: when wifi's working:
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1$ cat state
1 when it doesn't:
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1$ cat state
2 some additional info:
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/$ lspci -nn

I have a Dell Mini 10v with a fresh install of latest Ubuntu Netbook Edition. I have enabled proprietary drivers in order to get the WiFi card to work and managed to connect at home, starbucks etc. Good stuff.
For some reason I can detect but not connect to the WiFi at work - I get prompted for the pword and after entering it the WiFi indicater will pulse for a while only to return to the pword prompt. yes, I have the right pword and can connect my iPhone and other laptops. I am really puzzled by this and really need to get on the WiFi at work - wired connection works.
my colleague has the same dell model with windows 7 installed and is able to connect fine - I really don't want that @@@@ installed just to get WiFi. I know password entry error is the obvious solution but I connect new windows devices to it routinely and had other people try too.

I tried to implement the solution given at: [URL] on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, running Ubuntu 11.04. However, I still can't connect to wifi.
I can see that the files were extracted inside /lib/firmware/ (I see a b43 and a b43 legacy folder).
The lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 returns:

I have installed Ubuntu for netbooks on my four year old laptop and of course the wifi card is unable to search for wireless networks when I'm booted into Ubuntu. I do have the driver software on a recovery disk. Would installing it in Ubuntu fix my problems?

I'm running a small network of 20 PC's (slackware), I had previously used NIS and can't really be bothered with ldap it's a bit of hassle. I do not need a centralised database just a login auth system.On the server I make a folder called /sec and symlink passwd, group and shadow into it.I export this via nfs.On the workstation I create a folder /sec, move the passwd, group and shadow file into it and then symlink them back into the /etc folder.On bootup, the rc.local mounts server /sec over the top of workstation /sec. If it fails it falls back.I wasn't sure if I could just mount /sec on the workstation and then temporarily symlink group,passwd,shadow over the top of the /etc/shadow etc

I have Centos 5 installed on a PC in the local network. I have installed the RPM dhcpv6-client-1.0.10-16.el5.i386.rpm on this PC to configure it as DHCP V6 client. The RPM was installed successfully, and I have done modifications to the following files:
1. /etc/sysconfig/network, set the networking to yes.
2. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 set the BOOTPROTO=DHCP.
Now the problem is when I start the client on this pc as dhclient, it throws the following errors, and logs out after some time. All the network configurations were lost and the PC gets disconnected from the network.
[root@ServerB]# dhclient

I am trying to attach my server to 2 diferent networks, with fixed ip addresses,
eth0 = 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 with gateway 192.168.0.1. This is currently working, and I can ssh o the machine on this address
eth1 = 192.168.150.5 255.255.255.0 with gateway 192.168.150.1
When I try and start eth1 with ifconfig eth1 up, I get the error message "eth1: unknown interface: no such device"
I have configured eth1 using system-config-network-tui and /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 looks correct
GATEWAY=192.168.150.1
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none

I have two network interfaces in my pc eth0 and wlan0 and a virtual one br0.
router <= eth0 (0.0.0.0) => br0 (192.168.1.10) <= wlan0 (0.0.0.0) => other pc.
On startup of my pc (ubuntu 10.04 server x64), samba bind itself only to loopback network interface, as i can see when i do netstat -an , preventing me to enter in my shares from a remote pc.
Here is my configuration regarding samba network:
Code:
interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1.0/24
bind interfaces only = yes
and my /etc/network/interface
Code:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
code....
Any idea fo speed up my bridge configuration or to force samba to wait unitl the bridge is ready?
