General :: Configuring WPA WiFi In Ubuntu 10.10?
Jan 8, 2011
I am trying to configure my wireless network on my laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 and am having a bit of difficulty. I am a complete Linux newb, but want to learn it, hence the reason I'm trying to set this up. Here's the vitals:It is a Gateway 600 YG2 laptop. It was previously running Windows XP, but I installed Ubuntu 10.10 in place of it (not a dual boot, I removed XP altogether).I have an old wireless card that I'm trying to resurrect. I haven't really used the card in a couple years, but it seems to still work, I just can't connect to my home's wireless network. The card is a Linksys WPC11 v2.5. When I plug it in, Ubuntu recognizes the network, but won't connect to it. My home network uses WPA encryption and the only connection type that Ubuntu's network manager is giving me is WEP and then it asks for a key -- I have no idea what that key should be.
So, basically, I'm asking, is there a way I can instead connect through WPA? I've tried creating a new connection in network manager, but that won't work, it keeps falling back to the WEP connection and asking me for a key. I have tried to install the XP driver using ndiswrapper but I don't know if that's working or not. Is there a way to tell if:A) the card is working as it shouldB) the correct drivers are installed (again, I installed the XP one using ndiswrapper NET8180.INF, but I'm not sure what to do next)

I recently started installing Debian and I want to download and install a GUI in it. For that I could use my university Wi-Fi connection. I was told that it's a WPA2 secured connection. But when I tried to configure it, it keeps asking me for a "passphrase". I don't have a passphrase! All I have is my username and password for the Wi-Fi. What should I enter as my passphrase ? I tried both username and password and neither of them worked.

I'm interested in configuring two Netcomm NB504 WiFi routers to work in a Bridge configuration. ie. Local PCs ---> Router <----//----> Router <--- local PCs
The NB504 router doesn't appear to have a native "bridge" mode. However, it does run Linux according to the documentation. I'm interested to hear from anyone who has actually got two of these routers to work in a bridge configuration. I'm not interested in general theoretical comments - only solid advice. I am also not interested in using other hardware for this exercise - I have two of these devices available for use in this project.

I have just installed an Edimax EW-7612PIn PCI-E Wifi card which has an RTL8192SE chipset. This chipset is not supported under current F15 kernels so I have installed the driver and firmware from source and have that working fine. The driver can see the card and I can issue 'iwconfig' commands successfully enough to see my Wifi network.
The problem I have is that I don't understand the relationship between iwconfig and wpa_supplicatant and as I'm running a headless F15 server I cannot use the NetworkManager GUI to help me. I should also note that the Wifi network is using WPA2-Personal encryption.
This is what I have done:
Configured /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 with what I think are reasonable values (based on google searches), including the ESSID, TYPE as Wireless, etc.
Configured /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, including using the key value returned from wpa_passphrase.
Arranged for wpa_supplicant to run from boot, using chkconfig.
However when I run 'ifconfig wlan0 up' I get the error message 'link is not ready' and indeed looking at the output from 'iwconfig wlan0' there are no configured values. I also understand that some values are configured by iwconfig and others by wpa_supplicant, however it's not clear what.
How do I permanently set iwconfig values?
How do I configure wpa_supplicant?

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 just abandoned Windows 7 for Ubuntu. I am trying to setup my monitors on my desktop. I have 3 monitors (i have 2 graphics cards with 2 monitors per graphics card -- so potential for 4 monitors).
Currently I have 2 of the monitors working, but they only mirror each other. I tried going in to System-Preferences-Monitors to configure them the way I want to, but nothing i do stops them from mirroring each other.

So I am a Microsoft ASP.NET developer during the day, but I've been growing fond of linux and had ubuntu at home until my computer exploded one day. True story, and it sucked.
I have rebuilt my computer and just got 3 drives today. I'm hoping RAID5 with mdadm will perform well enough to keep me happy.
I know it is possible to configure linux installations to save docs and stuff to a separate partition, but I don't actually know how, let alone with RAID5.
I am very fond of the idea of being able to wipe and install various distros of linux while maintaining all my docs and/or config settings (??).

i have a linux server runnig oracle applications. i need to access this server from putty using ssh through internet. i did by registering my static ip with the dnydns.org and i am able to connect to the server. but now there is no security to authenticate any user as any one knowing the password can login to it. i thought of configuring the firewall of linux server but the client ip`s are not static and they change continiously. so thought of keeping one more pc between the server and the router which will do the work of authenticating. but i am confuse as how to configure it to allow the packets coming from the internet after authenticating and to by pass the packets generated from internal LAN?
i have heared abut freeradius package but i am not sure will it work in my case?

I have installed squid and dansguardian on my server, I also setup my iptables to forward port 80 communication to port 3128 (squid). I also have remove the comment on /etc/dansguardian/dansguardianf1.conf (line "bannedextensionlist") hoping that my server would block download. But it isn't, it still download file no matter I add in /etc/dansguardian/lists/bannedextensionlist. Oh yeah, I also add this line to my /etc/squid/squid.conf
Code:
cache_peer 172.16.1.212 parent 8080 0 no-query default
so that squid will consider dansguardian as it's parent.

I'm currently trying to configure Linux heartbeat on my two Linux servers(where SMPP service is running) my two machines are in two different location with different notworks (primary is in 192.168.x.x and secondary is in 10.48.x.x network)
I want to know whether is it possible to configure heartbeat between two such different networks (what i found by surfing internet is the way of configuring in same network) if possible, can i configure to listen to my primary server IP instead of having a secondary IP in primary server (since my SMPP service is running with my primary server's IP)

I have a webserver setup for myself with two domains. Both need ssl. I am running fedora 10 Apache/mod_ssl. I am trying to configure ssl.conf to recognize two different IP addresses, one for each domain.
Each has their own Vhost containers (NamedVirtualHHost)
<VirtualHost 192.xxx xxx x01 :443>
blabla
blabla
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.xxx xxx x02 :443>
blabla
blabla
</VirtualHost>
I call https... first site works ok. I call https....second site it calls the first ssl cert (bad cert). Apache does not separate the two. My question, how do I get apache to deliver https..domain_one and domain_two correctly?
