General :: CLI Command Or Program That Will List Available Wireless Access Points?

Apr 3, 2010

Is there a CLI command or program that will list available wireless access points? I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop and sometimes I boot straight into the CLI instead of a GUI. I know iwconfig can configure a connection but will not list available AP's.

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.10 Will Not Connect To Wireless N Access Points

Oct 7, 2010

I have wireless G and N access points in my house. The N network is set to allow only N connections. I have a Lenovo laptop with a Intel Wireless N chip in it, and after one of the 10.10 updates it stopped connecting to my N access point. The G access point works just fine.

The logs for the Wireless N access point alway show "Bas Password." I am having the same problem with either NetworkManager or wicd.

Ubuntu Networking :: Compaq 110 Cannot 'see' Any Wireless Access Points

Dec 11, 2010

Installed 10.10 maverick on my compaq mini 110, activated the restricted STA driver... But under the networking drop down it shows wireless as enabled but I cannot actually see any networks, there should be about a half a dozen to see. Works fine under windows. Before the restricted drivers are activated ifconfig shows eth0 and after eth0 and eth1 but when I do iwscan eth0 or eth1 it tells me this action is not supported! I have tried reinstalling from cli but no difference?

Ubuntu Networking :: Unable To Use Wireless With Certain Access Points

May 11, 2011

I am having trouble connecting to 1 particular wireless hotspot. It used to work in Ubuntu 10.10, but after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 it sees the Access Point, tries to connect but never succeeds. I can however still connect to my home router. Both use WPA2, both have a good signal. I have an ASUS UL30a laptop with a (output from lspci): Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) NIC I was thinking of installing the linux-modules-backport-net package?

Ubuntu :: Two Wireless Access Points - Pick Right Network?

Mar 1, 2010

I have two wireless access points in my home network. A Linksys upstairs and a Watchguard Firebox downstairs. The Firebox acts as the gateway for my network to the internet (well, the ISP's router anyway). I invariably use my Hardy Heron installed HP laptop downstairs, less than 10ft from the Firebox. The signal bar for the Firebox shows three bars, the linksys just one. So, why the heck does my Ubuntu insist on connecting to the Linksys everytime?! I can manually switch it afterward but still, it's annoying.

Ubuntu Networking :: Laptop's Wireless Card Can See Access Points But Can't Connect

Jan 15, 2011

I'm not exactly sure if this should be here and not in the Hardware & Laptops section, but seeing as my only problem is with WiFi, I'm guessing this is the right place. Under Ubuntu, my laptop (an Asus K42Ja, more details below) can see wireless networks normally. However, when I attempt to connect, it fails to establish a connection. Under Windows on the same laptop (dual boot), no problems are experienced.

According to this, there's a firmware bug in my wireless chip which causes connections to get dropped. I'm not getting connections at all, but I still tried the workarounds on that page with no luck. The router is a TP-Link TL-WR340G. My previous laptop, a really old one from 2003 running Ubuntu 9.10 was able to connect to that router without problems. The wireless card was Intel on that as well (but, of course, much older). The router is set up to use WPA for security. I didn't use WPA2 as I read something a while ago about problems with WPA2 and some Linux distros. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.

If anyone's curious, I'm posting this on Ubuntu, via an ethernet cable to the router mentioned earlier. Some tasty technical bits: dmesg (the latter half of the "timed out" messages is me retrying after double-checking the WPA key)

Ubuntu Networking :: Phy0 Has 100% Cpu Usage - Wireless Stops Detecting Access Points?

Aug 31, 2010

I used to use Ubuntu 10.04. Never had this problem. I went back to Windows 7 and then came back to Ubuntu, and 10.04.1 was released. After some usage of wireless internet, it disconnects from the access point, and phy0 has 100% usage. [URL].. I'm not the only one with the problem. I downgraded to 9.10, and haven't had that problem since the downgrade.

Ubuntu Networking :: Staying Connected To Wireless Network With Multiple Access Points

Oct 15, 2010

I can connect to my school's wireless network using the standard network manager, but often (not always) it repeatedly disconnects and reconnects every few minutes. Occasionally it also prompts me for the security information again (even after it previously connected successfully).

By running iwconfig when it's on the fritz, I can see that it's often switching access points for the network - which is what I think is causing the problem. It disconnects and reconnects even when the signal strength for the current AP is fine, and it will often switch to an AP with a weaker signal strength.

$sudo lshw -C network
Code:
description: Wireless interface
product: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Networking :: Cannot Connect To Wireless Access Point Via Terminal

May 15, 2011

I have an Intel PRO 2200BG wireless card and can connect to my router when logging in via gdm (using Xubuntu.) No problems there, connection never drops, very reliable!

But I've since had the need to shutdown X and keep a simple terminal instance open but as soon as I stop gdm the connection to the router drops. Trying to connect via the terminal using wpa_supplicant has so far been unsuccessful.

I know for a fact I'm doing something wrong, just don't know what and would appreciate some help!

Programming :: Script To Flash All Access Points Does Not Work

Jan 8, 2010

I'm going to write a script that flashes all AccessPoints in our network, with an expect script. Unfortunately the following code doesn't work.
Code:
spawn cat <file> | ssh root@$ip mtd -r -e linux write - linux
cat: invalid option -- o
Try `cat --help' for more information.
So it doesn't understand the pipe thing anymore. Is there a way to get this command working?

Networking :: Data Acquisition System For Vehicle - Access Points

Aug 21, 2010

A friend of mine is building a data acquisition system for a vehicle that will wander through city streets and roads and perhaps even off-road places. At the end of the day, back at the garage, the data must be downloaded and, if needed, upload an update of the data acquisition program. The network is wpa_supplicant, and it was chosen an USB device, because the original computer did not had any wireless interface and do not have any other possibility. The problem is that, when the vehicle comes back, very often there is no access to the on-board computer, or the connection lasts just a few minutes.

The computer must be reinitialized so the connection is back and the scripts run completely. Sometimes the connection is made, but the guys are so used to restart the computer that they do it anyhow, and then the connection does not come up, they have to restart it again.I have being thinking, as the vehicle drives all around, perhaps finding some access points along the day, if this connection trials - and failures - are messing up something. Or, the connection instability as the vehicle approaches the garage, could be driving his scripts mad?

General :: Different Folders In A Partition As Mount Points?

Apr 7, 2010

i want to have 2 partitions. one is called system. the other is private.

in the private partition i've got some folders i want to mount into system as system folders.

folders in private:

- www
- home

mount points in system:

- /var/www
- /home

is this possible? cause it seems that you can only specify a whole partition to use for a mount point and not a folder in a partition or am i wrong?

i run ubuntu server.

General :: Vanishing Mount Points On Unmount?

Jun 19, 2011

When I insert an SD card in the reader, slackware creates a mount point and mounts my card volumes. On unmounting the volumes, the mount point vanishes. How do I achieve this manually?When I attempt to mount a volume using the mount command, the mount point folder must exist and the folder does not vanish on umount. Is there a way to create a mount point if it does not exist? and ensure that the folders vanish on umounting?

General :: Sequence Of Partitions / Mount Points?

Mar 1, 2011

figure out the best partition layout for my linux installation which I'm about to have on my laptop. Having read numerous articles on partitioning in linux I've gathered some ideas, still there was no let's say a clear explanation as to the sequence the mount points should be arranged on the disc...What I have in mind is to use a single disc space as efficiently as possible considering the head travel. The pc is a laptop, 160GB HDD and will be used as a normal desktop with some simple sound processing. Distro Linux Mint 10. I'm planning to have such partitions and all will come after a Win7 installation:

/boot -> some write it's not necessary in dual-booting, some that it's good to have for security
swap -> with 4GB of RAM i don't suppose i'll use it
/

[code]....

have the most heavily utilised partitions close to each other so the head doesn't move for large distances. The placement also makes a difference as the closer to the inner rim of the disc the worse performance. I'm also not sure about the sizes. Read posts with recommendations but still judging by installations on a different laptop and virtual machine e.g. 5GB for /opt is a bit too much as there's almost nothing in there. Certainly /usr fills up, /var too from what I've observed. / also has scarce data in it so I'm wondering if giving them e.g. 5 gigs each won't be a waste of space resulting in greater head travel.

General :: Fedora 13 - Can't Access Wireless Network

Sep 10, 2010

I got a development machine with Apache installed. Everything was configured correctly, machine was running perfectly for some time, but today, suddenly I lost connection to my Wireless network.

Now I simply...can't access it. All details are correct, I even turned off MAC Addresses validation to make sure it's not my AP configuration fault. Nothing helped.

Any ideas what could happen? I did not update any libraries/packages. Just got disconnected from my network and cannot access it anymore.

To give more informations: I'm using Broadcom wireless device and b43 driver but I don't think this can be an error. Logs tell me nothing.

General :: Use Network Drives As Mount Points During Installation?

Apr 7, 2010

Is it possible to use network storage locations as mount points during installation?

cause i want to separate system (ubuntu) with data (personal files).

eg. if i have 5 computers i don't want to recreate /home/david 5 times.

so i want to mount networkdrive/home to /home in local ubuntu server.

so ALL users home folders could be used and maybe also networkdrive/projects to /projects.

in that way its ok if i by accident repartitioned the local ubuntu server cause all data is not there on that server, but in the data server.

is separating "data" from "logic" good in this case?

and is it possible? what protocol should i use for the mapping over internet? (maybe the server is in Sweden, and the data is in Norway).

General :: Mount Points And Primary Partitioning Queries?

Mar 17, 2010

1. What difference will it make if I set the mount point to "/" instead of "/boot" and vice-versa ?

2. I heard somewhere that the data on a primary partition can be easily recovered in case of some failure.

If it is so then what out of the following should IDEALLY be created as primary partition ?
/usr
/home
/boot

I think /usr and /home both need a primary partition , then what about /boot, Will I be not able to recover something in case of failure if I don't set /boot as a primary partition ?
