My laptop (as many others) has a hardware switch which turns wireless/bluetooth disabled. If after booting up the system I switch on this key, the wireless would still remain disabled and I need to reboot the system to be able to connect to any network.
I have tried
Code:
rfkill unblock all
ifconfig wlan0 up
Is there any way to activate wireless without rebooting the system?
I have a DELL Vostro 1500 and I have Debian Lenny running on it. I did get the wireless card BCM4312 working but after doing apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade and after rebooting it stopped working. I am including the output from iwconfig, ifconfig and lsmod.
raygo75@RayGo-d3:~$ sudo ifconfig eth1
[sudo] password for raygo75:

After my previous stint with 10.10 I've gone back to 10.04 because it boots in 20 seconds instead of 70+ and 10.10 didn't really seem to offer much new stuff that I need. Except one thing. When 10.10 boots, it automatically connects to whatever wireless network is set to Auto. 10.04 however, doesn't. I have to right click the tray applet and click on "Enable Wireless" and only then does it connect to the Auto networks. After a reboot, it's forgotten that I've clicked on "Enable Wireless" and I have to do it all over again.
I've found this thread that seems to describe the same problem and the only working suggesting is to use wicd instead of network-manager.
Does anybody know of a way to make it work using network manager? Do you know what command clicking on "Enable Wireless" runs - if I could just run that in an init script, problem solved. I thought it would be; ifconfig wlan0 up but that doesn't seem to do anything at all (wlan0 is definitely the right adapter)
i cannot connect to the internet wirlessly,only via eternet cable which works fine,it tells me my wirless is not enabled
View 13 Replies View RelatedI've been having an issue for the last day or so. I have an HP Pavilion dv8000 running 10.10. Whenever I boot with the Wireless activated, it will lock about 3-4 seconds into the log-in screen (I'm guessing when it connects to my router). If I have the wireless deactivated (like now), I am able to use the ethernet connection, or (like now) use my phone to tether internet. But, as soon as I click the wireless to active, locks up. The wireless activity light flashes, but that's all.
I'm pretty good about updating whenever I use my laptop, but I think something in the most recent update may have broken my wireless connection.
I am using ubuntu 10.04 on lenovo g430, last night I switch off the device while it was connected to network and shut down the computer.

Since I configured the Airport to use "WPA2 Personal" Authentication, my connection is flaky: it drops for no apparent reason and sometimes I can't connect at all. When authentication is turned off, the connection is rock solid.
Here's an example from the syslog of a failed attempt to connect:
Code:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a netbook and the wireless card on it works fine. Whenever I wake it up after suspending for couple of hours, it seems like the wireless card is not awaking or the drivers are not working properly because I do not see any wireless networks after waking it up(for example in Wicd). If I do fresh restart, the wireless and wireless networks come back at the same place. So I am wondering if it is possible to restart the wireless card or the driver without restarting my netbook

I'm running Linux Mint 9 with Gnome.
I don't want my wireless network card to be automatically enabled in Network Manager when I start my computer. I keep setting it to disabled in Network Manager but when I reboot Network Manager has re-enabled it again.
Is there some way of starting with wireless disabled until I tell Network Manager to enable it?
It has been haunting me for weeks and I haven't been able to fix it so far: When I installed the wireless driver 43XX series on my laptop using a wired internet, I saw the wireless network for a while and after I rebooted my system, My kernel(31) got corrupted and I got error "kernel Panic (and some sync error)",Thus I started using an older kernel(14),Now When I install wireless driver or mobile broadband driver(wvdial), they get vanished after the reboot and my mobile device modem isn't detected.But they are installed in my system(as shown by synaptic package manager but doesn't seemt to work) I desperately want to use mobile broadband.

But, if I reboot from Windows into Windows, the Windows time is right .

View 11 Replies View RelatedAbout 2 weeks ago i installed ubuntu 10.10 and downloaded fresh network drivers. I ran autorun.sh, the module was compiled and installed, i could see it with lsmod. But after rebooting the old module appeared again, but no file for him were in modules directory because autorun.sh removed old module file. Some time passed and I figured out that it is initrd who is guilty. I couldn't check it because i already deleted ubuntu and installed Fedora 14 Beta. Today i tried to repeat my steps and installed new network module on Fedora. But when i rebooted and started again i was surprised - new module works instead my old one. Everything is fine So, my question, does Fedora use initrd? I saw some files in /boot that which are initrd files (as i think). Or may be not every fedora system uses initrd or something else?

In AIX we just run cfgmgr -v. Is there a similar command in Red Hat?I am guessing a reboot will pick it up if the device drivers are common enough and in the kernel already. I want to know how to do this dynamically with the system on-line if possible.
I am trying to connect my desktop to my laptop over a non-internet connected LAN, but when i enable the LAN connection on my desktop (the one with the wireless) its internet stops working.
it is a very similar problem to this except that i am using ubuntu for the machine with the two connections.
right now i have my wireless on the 192.168.1.* address space, while the LAN is to be on 192.168.5.*

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of trouble with a web server running Fedora 12. Apache works fine, and serves up php content without a hitch. My problem is SQLite -- I thought that it was built into php5, but support is disabled in the repo version. phpinfo shows this as part of the configure command:
Code:
'--without-sqlite' ... '--disable-pdo' ... '--without-sqlite3'
The only solution I've read anywhere is "compile php from source," but I'd like to avoid that if possible, for ease of future upgrades. Is there a way to convince php to use sqlite despite its current state?
