I can't get my Broadcoam BCM4322 to connect to a protected access point. I've tried the drivers from rpmfusion, and tried to build the module with the source+binary package from Broadcom, all with no luck. The failure seems to happen during the WPA negotiation.
I haven't tried connecting to an unsecured WiFi access point.
When booting this same laptop to Kubuntu 9.04, it can connect to secured, so it is possible under linux.
Here's output from lspci, and the tail of the log while KNetworkManager is trying to connect the device.
Since installing F11, I can no longer connect to WEP-secured wireless. When I use automatic IP settings, the connection simply times out. When I specify an IP, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS server, NetworkManager thinks the connection properly established, but any pings time out, even when I don't specify a hostname (just an IP address). I can connect to (and use) unencrypted wireless. I haven't tried other encryption schemes. The WEP index is 1 and it's non-authenticated (open). I've been playing with the settings for over a week now with no success.
I installed the 64-bit version of Fedora 12 on my MacBookPro5,1, and I am unable to establish a connection to my wireless network, which I can connect to fine with I boot the computer into Mac OS X. Here is my operating system information:
Code:
$ uname -a Linux tosh 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jan 18 19:52:07 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Here is information about the PCI devices available on the system:
I was praying a standard install of Ubuntu 10.04 would work out of the gate and I was wrong:- Looks like everything is working except for my wireless adapter, Dell E4300
my OS is linux ubuntu x64 v10.10 on netbook dell vostro 1520. i'm looking for wlan [COLOR=#00C800 ! important][COLOR=#00C800 ! important]drivers[/COLOR][/COLOR] for network adapter broadcom like this:
I have updated FC 11 on my hp 6730b laptop as $ su -c 'yum -y update'after updating I logged to kernel '2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i686.PAE', but my wireless is notworking any idea how to solve it. I have to solve it offline since I have only wireless internet at my work.
I'm having problems with (no surprise) my Broadcom BCM4322 Network Adapter after a clean install of 9.10. I am just about tearing my hair out.
1. I downloaded Broadcom's provided Linux drivers. No joy.
2. I installed first the STA package, then b43-fwcutter. No joy.
3. I installed NDISwrapper, but cannot find the .inf file I need. Anyone? I dual boot with Vista, so I went into my Windows system and pulled a .inf file from the driver files there (bcmwl6.inf), but NDISwrapper said it was not valid. I have looked all over the web for a .inf driver file for this chipset but cannot seem to find anything (all I can find is .exe files).
I was trying to get the b43 driver work with my broadcom bcm4322 wireless card. I changed the kernel from 2.6.32 to 2.6.38 in order to make the b43 driver to work. When I booted with the new kernel the internet stopped working so I looked for a solution. I don't remember which website I went but it said that I have to re-install the STA drivers so I did that and rebooted and nothing happened. I decided to go back to the 2.6.32 kernel and re-installed the STA drivers. The wireless card (eth1) isn't showing when I run the command iwconfig
Code: xavi@xavi-laptop:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. easytether0 no wireless extensions. xavi@xavi-laptop:~$
I cannot authenticate on my wireless network. it keeps asking me the WPA key (which I correctly enter everytime it asks me to). I COULD do that before rebooting. Now I can't. Nice. What can I do? I've read somewhere that in the RC there where problems with the network applet I don't know what... can this be reconducted to that?
i would like to make the switch to fedora but before i do want to find out whether i will have the same problem that i had with ubuntu in Fedora. Problem with Ubuntu:- The only way of running o/s ati drivers to optimise hd3000 series (r600) graphics card and opengl was by running kernel 2.6.32rc6 which renders the broadcom bcm4322 wireless card unoperational. Fedora 12 looks promising but i would like to know whether there is support for Broadcom bcm4322 wireless cards and how hard they are to get up and running.
The problem is that when I connect my phone to my machine FC11 x64 via USB and use the phone as a modem NetworkManager does not recognise the phone as a modem. The phone works well on my laptop which is FC11 32bit system, NetworkManager detects it and sets it up as eth2 and away I go, no problems at all. I would like to ask the community how can I go fault finding to find out why it does not work. #lsusb shows that the modem is being detected by the system but beyond this I don't know where to look and get things going.
I've got a sitecom usb wireless adapter that uses the RT2870 chipset.I have got the rt2870sta module and have a ra0 interfaceI can set up a connection in the network tool and it recognises the usb device fine.
Since I installed FC11 vpnc stop working. I get "vpnc: no response from target." I tried running it with "strace" and the reason is a timeout: poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 4000) = 0 (Timeout)
I tried google and adding "NAT Traversal Mode cisco-udp" to the config file works for some people but not for me Does anyone had experience with vpnc 0.5.3 in FC11?
Trying to set up a modem connection under FC11, using the applet under System/Administration/Network/Add gives the following error:
Code:
Local variables in innermost frame: If the script is faulty, could you guide me through setting it up by hand? I am required to be away from my normal location for a few weeks starting Monday and need to keep in touch.
I'm trying to install my pci wireless card that uses bcm4318 technology. I installed ndiswrapper and the driver for the card. However, I still can't seem to get wirelessworking. I'm not sure what info you will need to help me diagnose this problem. Here is the output of ndiswrapper -l:
I know theres a thread for this for fc9 but thats probably kind of outdated now. So I am trying to set up a wireless connection for a pc in my bedroom and just want something that will work out of the box.
On FC10, when system boots up, it would auto detect (from DHCP) and configure eth0.
This does not happen on FC11, but I can manually configure the interface. The entries in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 are identical on both OS releases.
Don't know if this is related, but when I run System->Administration->Bootloader, it fails system-config-boot - missing module kudzu.
I have a problem with Netgear Wireless WG311v3 card and it is not listed in "ifconfig -a". Network Manager does not see the Netgear card either, just eth0 the onboard wired NIC. Here is the result of lspci.
i want to ask a question. sometimes i use a gprs modem to connect to the net. the gprs modem uses the usb port. i've connected this pc to another machine through crossover cable. the problem is that when there are two active connections, firefox can't load anything. also how can i share the gprs modem with my other pc that is connected via crossover?
PS. in my active network connections it shows: eth0- the NIC and auto eth1 - the gprs modem
i have also tried to change the firefox preferences but to no avail.
Finally, my mobile broadband is native to Fedora. Just finished clean install of FC11 and it found the device, started it, and it works, just like it did in WIndows. ZeroConfig FTW! Great job Fedora team on this. FC10 it didn't work at all and FC6, 7, and 8 it took a lot of tinkering to make it fully functional.Also, NM is working MUCH better now with static IPs over the previous FC10 version. Set it up first run and had no issues with running my laptop on the network.
A few days ago (september 7) my wireless suddenly stopped working. I am using FC11, and have an Atheros AR5211 wireless card and have been using the ath5k driver with GNOME NetworkManager. Wireless networks are detected by NM perfectly fine. When I try to connect, the icon spins around those two dots, and one of them becomes green. If the network is wep protected, it asks for the password. After a while, it times out, regardless of the protection. I don't remember changing pretty much for the last two months, so I'm sort of surprised. I did download and install a kernal, along with an selinux-policy update.
If I run dmesg, relevant looking lines included:
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready and a long series of these at the end: wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:0b:86:4f:8a:20 try 1 wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:0b:86:4f:8a:20 try 1
[code]....
Note: I previously posted this in "Laptops," but Networking seemed like a better place to do it.
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...
Got up this morning and switched on theLinux Box and started getting wifi connect problems. I could work for about 5 mins then it would start searching and asking me to confirm to connect to my network.After some time NM kept on asking all the time to confirm the network and key.I reset the router and check to see if other PCs were OK and a Windoze & Linux laptops were fine, no problem there so it's not the routerd.I'm wondering if the broadcomm card is starting to fail as it heats up or could it be a corrupt file or parametersNo updates have been done in the last month, it just started today. Here are the results from the log and dmesg:
[root@mylinux ~]# dmesg | grep b43 b43-pci-bridge 0000:05:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found
How to install and use the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver (broadcom-wl) I orginally had wireless but reinstalled Fedora 15 and have been trying for days to get it working with no success
there was a new kernel update that I installed today. I used some kl mod packages to work my broadcom. For some reason its not working after the kernel. Is there a way I can recompile the driver or so?
Ive just installed Fedora 12 on my laptop (HP Pavilion DV4 1213la- i also have Windows 7) and wifi wasnt working at all (Broadcom BCM4312)So i thought, lets google it!, i pluged it to my router and i had internet working just fine.
After goggling for an hour i found a website where some guy had a problem similar to mine (couldnt connect to internet by WIFI with the same Network Controller BUT on Fedora 11)[URL] and as a response they told him to install the packages using " yum install broadcom-wl wl-kmod "So i did that, it downloaded some stuff (i didnt see what it was :S), but then said something like "No packages available broadcom-wl" and "No packages available wl-kmod"I tought it had done something so i did as the website told me, reboot my computer.
When it turned back on, not only wifi wasnt working but now i cant even connect by cable, i plug it in and nothing happens (not even the little lights from the port)So my question is, is there any way to restore whatever that command did?
