I thought I'd give Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal??) a try on an old Dell Latitude D600 I had lying around. Install went great. Everything seems to run nice and slick.. except one thing.. the wireless is giving me the old "Device not ready (firmware missing)" So I can only use my lappy on a leash.
It's a pretty common Broadcom NIC... and I've tried running the System / Administration / Additional Drivers and nothing comes up.
It seems to me I need a driver someplace...I don't know where or how to get it installed.
i have recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer, which is HP 4710s ProBook.I've installed it with wubi and everything seem to be working just fine, except for my wireless.It is showing me: device not ready(firmware missing).
Recently, I wiped my existing install of Ubuntu 10.10 and reinstalled it over. That went smoothly, except for one little snag. Now when I try to connect to the Internet, up on the top when I click the little network icon, under Wireless Networks, instead of showing the networks I can connect to, it says:
"Device Not Ready (Firmware Missing)" So I move the little wireless switch on my laptop, and then it says:
"Wireless Disabled" What did I do, and how do I fix it?
The past couple days I've been attempting to use ndiswrapper to connect to my home network wirelessly and have run into a slight problem. I'm able to install ndiswrapper (of course), and install the driver. ndiswrapper -l comes up good, showing the driver is in place for my netgear wg311v3 card.
modprobe ndiswrapper I am able to get to work without errors, except, when i type ndiswrapper -ma it writes another file to /etc/modeprobe.d/ndiswrapper causing the deprecation error.
The card scans for networks, and I'm able type in my encryption key.
However it doesn't connect. | grep comes up with the error that the wlan0 link is not ready.
I think I've also been able to determine that the configuration I've put in to the card through the network manager is not actually configured.
Anyone know how I could possibly connect with the card.. It seems it should be able to work. alias wlano is also in place.
I recently got a Tplink TL-WN321G wifi device for my fedora box. It has a Ralink chipset rt2870 in it.After messing it with couple of hours, i got it working with rt2800usb firmware, the LED is blinking on it and the device is listed in available...but its not scanning for available networks..lsusb:
Code: Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
This morning I installed Fedora 14 on my laptop. During the setup, I was able to configure the wireless connection and use it to install additional software from the FreshRPMs and Livna repos. When the install was completed, I was surprised to find the wireless not working. When I click on the NetworkManager icon at the bottom right corner, I see "Wireless Networks" Under that it says "device not ready" and it is greyed out so it cannot be click on.
Running lspci -vnn returned 07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01) Kernel driver in use: ath5k Kernel modules: ath5k Running lsmod confirmed that ath5k is in fact loaded.
I have a HP Elitebook 6930 with Intel 5300 wireless card and today I update it from Fedora11 to Fedora 12 and now I cannot connect with my home wireless network. Previously with F11 I connected without problems but now the wireless connection presents a "Device not ready" message. I tried to switch on/off the wireless card but without results. I had to set intel_iommu=off as kernel parameter to complete the boot. Is something related to it?
I'm trying to start a service that depends on networking being started, whenever the computer is rebooted. Is this easily possible from an /etc/init.d script? I have tried creating a script here (conforming to the standards), but I'm really doubtful that it's even running on boot, let alone working. When I test it manually, it works.How can I make a script that runs on boot which runs after networking has been started?
I've tried to install Linux systems have been failures. Trying to make this work, trying to get on the right wagon, and it's frustrating as all get-out.
Installed netbook remix onto a HP Mini 1000 (1116NR?) and everything seems to be working alright, except no wireless networking. I tried a couple of things and now it shows "device not ready" instead of "disabled", so I figure I'm getting somewhere.
The device is:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
I want in. This is my 3rd try over the years of running Linux and I always hit snags like this that I can't fix because I've never gotten to play with it enough to learn what I'm doing and generally don't have a 2nd computer like I do right now.
All I want to do is share my internet connection that comes through the eth0 cable to my wlan0 wiki card. Firestarter seems the convenient tool for doing this. BUT it keeps telling me wlan0 not ready. The card is connected correctly and network-manager does see incoming signals.
I just recently installed ubuntu, my first experience with linux. I don't know if it isn't recognizing my wireless card or if it is another issue, but I am unable to view any wireless networks/connect to any. When I click on the network icon it says "wireless" with Device Not Ready underneath.
My installation has stopped detecting my wired network. Another computer connects fine with the same cable to the same access point. As far as I can tell it is simply behaving as if there was no network available from that cable but obviously there is. It was working a couple of hours ago, and I didn't install or uninstall anything, just shut down and booted up again.
LAN is enabled in the BIOS ifconfig does display eth0 ifup eth0 returns "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" in the output from dmesg:
"ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready"
network appears in lshw and is not listed as disabled
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and I can't seem to get the wireless connection to function. Ubuntu either says that the card is turned off or if I toggle the wireless switch on my keyboard it then says 'device not ready.' I'm using a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card, and it works fine when I boot in Windows 7.
I tried all the threads to load and compile the driver for the Belkin wireless-N F5D8053 (Ralink RT2870 chip) I still cannot get it to come up - the wireless status says device not ready. Here is some of the system info relating to the adapter:
fresh install of 10.1 on an older sony laptop wireless icon is on the toolbar, and my router is listed icon has a red exclamation mark my wireless button on the laptop is set to "on" dmesg | ndis reports "wlan0: link is not ready"
I've heard about the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, and I roughly know what IPv6 is.how to check whether our hardware (network adapters, routers, etc.), and software (operating systems, browsers, etc.) are ready for the transition?
I've been having trouble getting the latest kernel to update, due to an error resolving dependencies. I've used yumex to remove old versions of kmod-nvidia that were fc10 specific, and gotten past that. However, when I updated the kernel, yumex reported that mkinetrd failed. Checking, the newest kernel listed in grub.conf is the one I'm using, not the one I just installed. What do I need to do to get the updated kernel properly listed and ready to use?
I want to switch between my monitor in my office and a hd-ready TV in my living room which is connected via DisplayPort/HDMI. So I wrote the following script (called by nohup and the number for the desired config-file is given as an argument):
Code:
This basically works but I have two problems:
1) All currently opened Windows are gone after restarting X. So I need a more elaborate script
2) I cannot get the right configuration for my TV. The manual recommends 1280x768_60. This mode doesn't seem to be supported (xrandr doesn't list it).
Until now I use the following xorg.conf for TV:
Code:
With that configuration about 20px of each side of the desktop are hidden. The TV also displays an info that the signal is 1080i. The refresh rate is set to 50 instead of the desired 60. I tried to force 720p by adding the line Modes "720p". The rest of the file was mostly generated by the nvidia-driver.
So what can I do to: Keep my opened Windows when switching Displays See the whole Desktop on my TV and set the refresh rate to 60
I'm using wifi "usb card" from airlive with zd1211 driver in Fedora 12 OS. And I cannot access channel 12 and 13. Perhaps for US restrictions. But in EU are allowed. Any idea how to enable them?
iw phy told me the card has 14 channels width but last 3 are disabled.
I tried "iw reg set EU" but "iw reg get" still return me "Country:98"
Also set env. variable COUNTRY=SK and execute crda returns me: Failed to set regulatory domain: -22
in dmesg I can see the regulatory domain is first set to EU but when zd1211 is loaded it is set to US
I'm running fc10 x64 - latest updates. First I could never get wake on lan to work - spent days working on that one. Now, when I restart after a hibernate my eth0 is not re-enabled or recognized anymore. About to give up on Fedora.
I've tried service network restart. I've tried unplugging cable and plugging back in. I've tried init.d/networkmanager restart. Only reboot works.
I've spent so much time trying to configure Fedore Core 10 for a Dynamips server and it's just not ready on some of the essential things like this hibernate problem and also wake on lan.
I'm so sorry to bother people, but I'm totally at a loss.I've searched the forum and have not found the answer.My NetworkManager icon is missing from the notification bar. Ive tried rt clicking on the top panel >add to pannel>notification area....yet it is still missing.I know that NetworkManager is installed, yet I cant even access it to connect to a wireless network. I'm able to connect to Eth0.I cant tell if my wireless card drivers are setup or not and if that makes a difference.
Fedora OS: 2.6.38.8-35.fc15.i686 NOtebook: Compaq Presario V3424TU Wireless connection is not enabling and it is showing "Firmware missing" I need to connect wireless to help my final year project.
everything was excellent till yesterday evening but from the evening, when i switched on my pc, the Network Connections icon is missing from the panel of my fedora 12 os. i'm being able to connect to internet from Systems->Preferences->Network connections & check Connect Automatically to my Mobile broadband connection. but i'm not being able to disconnect it. i've to remove the mobile phone from my pc.please put some light on how will I be able to disconnect it (without removing the phone)?
I have just started using fedora 13 and I am not sure if i am in the right area but here goes...today I was online in my fedora 13 partition on my laptop and I had been online for quite a while then I shut down my machine to recharge the battery then a couple hours later I turned it back on and all of a sudden my network manager applet was missing and I could not connect to the internet, I opened firefox and tried to get to my homepage but it basically just told me that I wasnt connected..
I suspected at first for some strange reason that MAYBE it was my NIC so I booted up into my vista partition and low and behold the internet works fine, so the problem is on the linux side, I have tried every command nm-applet but it just keeps saying an instance of nm-applet is already running, I have no clue how to restore the network manager and get my internet back and the only other piece of information I have is that earlier today I did do a bunch of security updates but the internet was working fine all day even after several reboots through out the day.
I'm trying to connect to the Internet using 64-bit lucid, and I'm in quite the foggy situation. The computer recognizes the wireless card, but can not use it to connect to the Internet. here are some screenies:
First: The toolbar app: "Device is not ready"
Second: The terminal. shows that card is a Realtek 8192 (e se or u etc. I'm not quite sure) Also shows a bit of other stuff.
Third: Network Connections software: not very helpful. No connection at all.
So my question is... What seems to be wrong and how do I fix it (eg. do I have to install a driver of some sort, change some settings around or write some fancy code etc.?)
