General :: Bonding Two WiFi Adapters Into Single Connection?
Nov 3, 2010
I saw a network once that used bonding (some people called it "port trunking") to combine two network cards into a single connection to get twice the bandwidth. I have a slow Wifi network with not so great reception. I actually have two spare WiFi cards and want to try to bond them so I can get a faster intranet (not internet). Has anyone successfully bonded two WiFi cards and had pleasant results? Is there an easier way to get better bandwidth with two cards? My router and my remote machine are both running Linux.
Are USB WiFi adapters more likely to work in Linux than other WiFi adpaters like PCI cards etc?Im just wondering if they can use a generic USB class driver rather than having to have one for the specific chip set?
I was wondering if there's any way for a laptop to be both simultaneously connected to a wireless network, while at the same time acting as an ad-hoc network with local access to serve as a wifi connection for my mobile device, which would be ssh-ing into the laptop and using local resources.
I have a network of 100 machines, all with ubuntu Linux. Is there a limit to the number of machines that can connect to one single machine (at the same time)? For example, can I have 99 of my machines maintain continuous ssh connection to the 100th machine? Can I have every one of my machines (every one of the 100) maintain a continuous ssh connection to all other 99 machines? How much memory does each such a connection take?
I'm just working on fedora for the first time for my proj. So having many difficulties. My first doubt is that is it possible to record audio in single user mode using fedora? I need it for my proj work..I tried arecord and rec in single user mode.. I'm getting an error stating pulse audio connect error. Connection refused..
I have 2 connections, wlan and wired, and I'd want to have a few websites (in my browser) to connect through the wireless connection while other go through the wired rj45 connection. s it possible? (without unplugging the rj45 cable...)
i'm realy new in all linux concern, and i dont really have to many problems with ubuntu. But the other day i strted using CDLinux, which is really amazing despite the fact i can't get it connect to the wireless, i know the pass of the signal, i'm not trying to hack it, is a WPA, and i don't really know what i'm doing wrong.
The wireless connection gets disconnected and when I try to reconnect it, it is not possible, the wireless icon keeps blinking and last for ever and never gets connected again, the only solution is to restart the computer. do I need to do a specific task to stop this error? operating system ubuntu 10.10, I have a hp pavilion dv600, i recently had some issues with the wireless driver, now I have it and it works fine but now the problem is that the wireless connection gets diconnected and when trying to reconect it, well it is not possible. please advise.
The situation: The office has a WiFi network on one DSL line, which is used for our VoIP call center, and a wired network for our internal network and the majority of web surfing/traffic . Part of the office must be temperature controlled/monitored - we have a rather nice digital thermometer which is WiFi enabled.I have a Debian Wheezy box with a WiFi card and ethernet connection
What I'm trying to accomplish:Connect wifi enabled thermometer to WiFi network so it can automatically send temp updates (currently I have to do it manually via USB)Have the Wheezy box accept the downloaded file then send it to a back up server in the wired network
Side things that may be useful : Prefer to use wired connection for internet and apt and suchWiFi connection will really just be used for connecting to the thermometer
This [URL] .... topic got me thinking that there might be a way to bring the two networks together, but I don't know if that will wreak havoc on things. I know, the Windows and Mac OS don't like having ethernet and wifi at the same time, might Linux be better for this?
v&n had this to offer in the prior thread [URL] .... which I'll be doing more research on.
I'm a Linux newbie. Used to use Ubuntu, but I switched to Slackware because I want to learn how Linux works better.
On my Samsung qx410 laptop, I can't connect to the internet. I went to the System Settings -> Network Settings and all the tabs there, but it wouldn't detect any connection, wireless nor wired.
I noticed that the kernel of Slackware 13.1 is out of date, so I tried compiling a newer one, but I couldn't get that to work.
I tried downloading this file: iwlwifi-6050-ucode-41.28.5.1.tgz but even after reading the readme, I had no clue how to go about installing it or even whether it was the right thing to install in the first place.
I have a computer with three video cards and six monitors. Works great on Windows. Trying to get it to run Ubuntu 10.4 as well. It loads fine when I have it configured to run on one adapter; detects both screens, runs ok. But I want to turn the other 4 monitors on and run the whole thing as one extended desktop (one session, etc). So I downloaded and installed the newest ATI driver for Linux, which seems to work, kinda. I ran this to set up the screens:
aticonfig --adapter=all --initial -f Now when I boot, Ubuntu seems to turn on all the screens (3 viewports, each with two cloned displays from what I can tell). When I enter my login info OR move the mouse off the main screen, the screens freeze and the kbd/ms become unresponsive.
I have configured bonding on 64 bit centos 5.4 I have to put the machine to a different VLAN for that i did the Ip change and restated the network. but i cant ping the gateway or any other server in that network. the cofig files are as follows
vi /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 bnx2 alias eth1 bnx2 alias scsi_hostadapter aacraid alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd alias bond0 bonding options bonding mode=1 miimon=100 [Code].....
I've got an MSI U123 netbook that has a built-in web-cam and mic. It has a fairly stock install of Fedora 13 on it. I'm trying to get Skype working and everything seems OK so far, except when I did the test call the playback of my voice was very low. I played around with a few settings and got a little bit better results, but still not acceptable. However, I also tried booting the netbook to Windows XP and tried Skype there. The results were a little better, but still not great. So, I'm thinking rather than a settings change the built-in mic probably just isn't going to cut it.
I've got a couple of headsets that have microphones that I've previously used with portable/cell phones. Both of these headsets have just one line that I'd typically connect to the headphone jack of a phone. Can this type of headset be used with my netbook, by connecting to either the headphone or mic-in jack, or do I need either a USB headset or a headset that has two lines (mic/headphone)? If my type of headset will work is there any type of "How To" doc on what needs to be set? I'm assuming I have to toggle some capture/mic/line settings. I haven't tried anything yet, but rather than mess around with a lot of settings and start banging my head against the wall I'd ask if this is even doable.
I have just taken on a dedicated server sitting somewhere in Norfolk. I have created a website that uses PHP to connect to another remote server in order to interrogate a MSSQL database. This script, running on Apache, uses a VPN connection to connect to the remote server.To test, I have Apache on my laptop at home and just used Microsoft Network Connection to create the VPN connection.I have now uploaded this site to my new CentOS server and need to create the same VPN connection. I understand this is a command level and have been advised to use OpenVPN which I have successfully installed.My problem is I only have the details remote ip address, username and password. I believe I have to use the 'client.conf' script instead of server.conf.
how i can use VLANs. as i have red on the web, it is possible to have a switch to allocate ports to a single VLAN. thus splitting subnets on a port allocation. since i have a pc running KVM, it is possible to create multiple subnets for DMZ and LAN. thus my question is - is it possible to have a SINGLE cable connection to a switch that carries TWO subnets? so that i can decide how to distribute then on the pc?
Problems with Bluetooth. The dongle appears to be working, but then it craps out on me after only a few minutes!
I'm using the blueman-manager GUI to connect to my cell phone. If I load blueman-manager almost immediately after connecting my dongle, I can use it for a few minutes, but only long enough to add my phone, pair it and mark it as trusted. Certainly not long enough to send or receive a single file, though. Eventually and inevitably, the connection breaks, blueman-manager hangs/freezes up, and I start getting errors in dmesg.
Here's all the relevant diagnostic stuff...
Code:
Code:
Code:
I added the MARK myself to separate where the dmesg output stops immediately after plugging in the dongle from what appears after the connection is broken. It's right when that timeout error happens that the connection severs itself, and the error usually repeats itself several times.
Even if I just connect the dongle and not do anything except wait a few minutes, after a few minutes that timeout error will still happen. I'm running fluxbox and I don't believe I have any automounting programs, so there wouldn't be any interference from something like that.
I am new to linux and also new to this forum. I love how light Slax is but it won't let me connect to my wifi. It scans and finds my router but the option to switch to the network is grayed out. How can I fix this problem?
What would be the commands I'd use to connect to aWireless access point, enter the password and delete the wireless name I am connected to through terminal.I do know that the command nm-tool lists all wifi connection ports even my IP address field, just want to take it a step further...
I have installed Suse 11.4 recently and I'm trying to run the wireless connection and doesn't works. Details: card: pro/wireless 2200BG Calexico2 driver installed (as console said) kernel driver:ipw2200 hwinfo:
I have tried to connect by traditional method with YAST, just recognized one network call "Hotel Riga 228", but doesn't connect. Also I have tried to connect with Network Manager but this application doesn't recognize ANY w. network.
I have a dual boot system : Windows XP SP3 and openSUSE 11.4 64 bits, GRUB for boot loader.Having had problems with my NVidia driver (computer hanging all the time), I reïnstalled openSUSE 11.4 from DVD.Since then : no more wireless internet-access, which functioned very well before.
Code: /usr/sbin/iwlist scan lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
