We need to have the wireless associated with the access point prior to the first login.
Have not been able to get it to work yet. WPA-PSK. wireless will not connect until login.
This is necessary for nfs automount and openldap auth to work. Not a home networking environment.
How to troubleshoot effectively.
I've been able to get a laptop on Fedora 14 (2.6.35.6-48) working with a Netgear WNA1100 Once up and running, I execute "ifconfig wlan0 up" from root, and everything connects just fine and is stable as long as I stay logged in. But, I haven't found how to do this automatically on boot.
I've tried to use NetworkManager, but I cannot figure out how to get the GUI to show up - it says its running and enabled in the Services gui, but I haven't figured out how to actually use it! I checked to see if the nm-applet is running with ps, and for the user login, I see:
I'm not sure if the "sm-disable" flag is my problem, or how to change it. I'm not even sure if NetworkManager will allow me to set things up for bootup, but that is the path I ran down...
I assume this is a fundamentally easy process to set this up on bootup, but I'm not stumbling across the method. I recall doing this kind of thing years ago when I was an engineer, and before I got my lobotomy to become a manager...
When I try to bring up my wi-fi PCI card (ifup wlan0 or ifconfig wlan0 up) my whole PC just hangs until I power it off.
I believe I have the right drivers, but cannot see what I am doing wrong.
I'd really prefer not to go down the ndiswrapper route.
Firstly, I can see the PCI card and the driver it is using :
Code:
[J@gx260-f10 ~]$ lspci -k
...
...
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)
[Code]....
the PC just hangs for ever. No mouse movement, ctrl-alt-del, nothing.
I have downloaded a Linux driver from Realtek but it will not compile. I have the latest kernel-devel, headers, and gcc. I can post compiler errors if anybody would like. They're all apparently to do with missing parameters.
Also having this problem on Ubuntu 10.04.If I do "iwlist scan" I can pick up networks on wlan0:
Code:

I am tring to get my linksys wireless router to connect to my laptop that i recently installed Fedora 10 on. Well it is actully running of an external HD. Any way when i boot in windows it connects and works fine, but when i try to activate wlan0 it says "Cannot activate network divice wlan0!" "determining IP info failed..."
View 11 Replies View RelatedThe 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'm able to connect to this cell using Gnome "Wireless Networks" manager, but not with iwconfig. At first I tried to connect to this "bq" network while wlan0 was active("ifconfig wlan0 up") using the iwconfig but this didn't change any of the wlan0 parameters.
Then I tried to shutdown wlan0("ifconfig wlan0 down") and executed:
Code:
Now the changes applied and "iwconfig wlan0" gives following:
Code:
Everything seems to be correct, but I'm still "Not-Associated". I have tried with "iwconfig wlan0 essid bq", "iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:24:14:F9:0B:92", "iwconfig wlan0 essid "bq" mode Managed" etc, but whatever I try, it does not connect. I even did "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" in order to be sure, that Gnome "Wireless Networks" is not interfering with "iwconfig", but this gave no results as well. I can associate with this AP using the Gnome "Wireless Networks" just fine, but for some reason I can't connect using iwconfig.

I would like to mount a bunch of folders/shares when I start my machine up. I will be adding the mounts into my /etc/fstab folder BUT my WLAN0 only comes "up" and connects to my WAP AFTER logging in.
how I get it to start on PC boot instead of log in?
I think I need to disable network manager but I'm unfamiliar with the procedure in Fedora
i can't get a pppoe conection working over a wireless network,in windows I have to connect to the router first, and then put in my user and password to get connected, but i don't know how to do this on fedora, i get connected to the router through network manager, and ping is ok, but when i try to make a new xDSL connection i don't know how to make it work through the wireless network that is established and working with my router.

I am having a problem trying to transfer large file (~700MB) from one station in my home to another. I have 3 PCs hooked up through a router. 1 is wired to the router and the other two are wireless. One wireless is a laptop that has a built-in Atheros wireless card that was supported during the FC13 install. The other wireless has a plug-in wireless card made by Belkin (F7D1101). I had to use ndiswrapper to get it to work on FC13.(BTW all PCs are running FC13)
The one with the Belkin card is, I think, the problem. The one with the Atheros card will transfer files at a rate of about 8MB/sec to the one with the wired ethernet connection. The one with the Belkin card will not transfer at rates over 300KB/sec to either of the other two PCs. I have tried file transfers both encrypted and not and it makes no difference.
I do not know how it came to pass, but it has come to pass. I was in the process of updating my desktop Fedora 10 (KDE) system with yum, when I finished that I got a message about

I have no clue what this means.
Since 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64, dhclient wlan0 doesn't seem to work any more.
However, bizarrely, dhclient eth0 does (to the same D-link wireless router).
The AP shows connected - tail /var/log/messages
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
WINXP connects just fine. This (B43) has worked nicely ever since FC10 came out, and I was able to use the WiFi at all kinds of places on a recent trip. Other than a couple of yum updates, I don't think anything else has changed since. Other devices on the wlan are getting their DHCP requests satisfied correctly.
Is anyone else having this problem since about a week ago? Perhaps there's something really obvious I'm missing. I can manually assign an IP address to wlan0, manually edit the routing tables and edit /etc/resolv.conf, and then Wifi seems to work OK, so it doesn't seem to be b43 itself unless it is dropping DHCPOFFERS. If this isn't a regression, does anyone have any tips about how to debug this?
I just installed Fedora 13 from the Live CD. FIrst off I read the guide and the first step doesn't even work for me. System>Administration>Network does not exist. If I go to System then Preferences I see a Network Manager but it looks nothing like what these screen shots look like. [url]
No wireless card show up in the wireless tab of Network Manager. How can I fix this since my card is listed in ifconfig and iwconfig. Wifi card is a Zonet zew2500p
what i want to do is

i have 2 network connections eth0 wired connected to internet wlan0 wireless (work fine) i have installed hostapd with madwifi and so on oki when i run hostapd the clients see the hot spot oki clients connect with wpa oki network manager run at demand not automatic (keep it for internet help) now i'm a bit lost what do i need is wlan0 give the client an ip (dhcp demand) create a bridge between wlan0 and eth0 steps to create a permanent bridge between wlan0 and eth0
I have setup hostapd and a bridged setup with br0 bridging eth0 and wlan0. The setup works but unfortunately not on bootup. The reason is that the bridge can't add iface wlan0 because it is down for some reason at this time. When hostapd is running (after the network script) the interface is up and can be added to bridge via

Have been using Arch for about one year. Everything works great until a few days ago. My wireless card couldn't connect to my router.

Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx+

Since the card works in scanning mode, I assume it's OK. I have other devices in the house that also connect to the same AP. Everyone works except this laptop.
I want to associate the other short-cut keys - like pause, play etc. How can that be done?

I just switched from Fedora 13 to openSUSE 11.3 on my laptop and so far love it...well...not quite. I'm having some major network issues. As in...no networks.
I installed everything and booted up for the first time. Everything worked great, I had wireless through wlan0 and could connect directly to my home router via eth0 with no problems. Installed a few applications and ran into some problems with hibernating/suspend modes. I rebooted and like magic, NetworkManager said networking was diabled. My WiFi light was off. Network switch on the computer didn't do anything.
I thought alright, I'll connect my ethernet cord and can go from there....problem is that won't work either. I tried searching for drivers online on my desktop, found some and transferred them via USB with no luck. They won't install. I have no idea why, or whats going on but I really need my laptop for school on Monday so it would be AWESOME to have it working by then.
Here is what I have:
Intel 5150 WiFi card
Dell Studio XPS M1640 laptop
OpenSUSE 11.3
Hardware:
Toshiba Satellite A505D-S6958
Wireless: Realtek 8192e
Ubuntu 10.04, x86

I was using ndsiwrapper with XP driver, but always prefer to Linux drivers if they are available. So, I emailed Realtek web support and they sent me latest drivers for Ubuntu 10.04. I followed their instructions and it works great! With, the exception of, I have to run ./wlan0up each time after I login to start the wireless.
I seem to remember having to modify a file some place, which was very easy to do, but for the life of me I cannot seem to remember what it was or what to put into it? and also, how do you tell if your wireless card is making use of the "n" speed, if the network your are on has it available?
I have a wired connection going to my router, which is encrypted with WPA2-PSK. That works fine. I hooked up a WUSB54G v4 (Linksys USB Wireless Adapter), and used ndiswrapper to install the drivers from Vista to make it compatible with WPA2. Also configured the /etc/network/interfaces with the wpasupplicant lingo to make it all work. So if I do that, my eth0 will not work anymore. Also on a side note my network manager stops with displaying in the top panel. Not a problem I can run /etc/init.d/networking (re)start and dhclient eth0 (wlan0) and all the other commands that are necessary to make it work.
Back to the problem, so I hook up wlan0 with the settings and eth0 stops working. I want to use the wlan0 solely for the purpose of my media server. The eth0 is there for my internet and that is it .
How can I keep 'em separated?
I recently upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 after not using linux on my PC for a few months. After the upgrade, everything worked fine except my wireless card no longer works. It seems to have disappeared from my available interfaces. Here's the output from lspci:

I've been through posts about similar problems that did fixes using things like blacklist and modprobe, but none of these worked. I've searched the RaLink webpages for more up to date linux drivers but found nothing that worked - I downloaded the RT3090_LinuxSTA_V2.3.1.6 driver and followed the instructions to try and build it, but this didn't work.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a Sony VAIO VGN-NR110E.Literally, every other time I boot the wlan0 interface is missing. I saw that there used to be some problems with network manager in the past. My NM is running fine. When this happensCode:sudo ifconfig wlan0 upreturns:wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such deviceIf I reboot the wlan0 comes back up
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu Server 10.10 on a 64 bit laptop (also have GNOME installed just for convenience), and have a website up using apache2. I am wondering if it is possible to configure both eth0 and wlan0 to the same local static IP address? I would like to walk around my house and do stuff when I want and still have the website accessible, but also be able to jack my laptop back into the router when I am away, just for peace of mind.
Is this possible? If it is, do I need to do some configuring in apache2 to tell it to use another device? Is this even a smart way to get what I want done?
