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.
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 tried the new debian 6.0 live dvd and was so happy or the first time i had debian actually booting and then i was like o.O and what's up with my wireless and i then tried to install and the installer finally told me i need the iwlwifi395 drivers for my wireless so i copied that and now i have the drivers and i don't know how to build them to be like on the live image like straight in there since i boot have my wireless.
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 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.
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.
Is it possible to update Mandriva, not using a live internet connection. I'm wondering if i can update Mandriva offline or it is possible to save the my current PC updates and install it when i plan to reinstall my distro?
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'm was trying to choose between GNOME and KDE for version 8. However both the live DVD's fail to pick up the Wifi card on my system. I am also unable to use certain basic commands such as ifconfig on the live CD. I am completely new to Linux and Debian (of course). Pardon me for the hand holding. This will be my first install of a Linux system.
What steps I can take to ensure that the Wifi card and the network card will be supported - hardware compatibility test maybe? Is there a way to try before installing? This will be a dualboot with Windows 8.1
Wifi card: Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter LAN card: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
How do I setup Wifi on my labtop. When I run linux live cd on my desktop which is connected to my router, linux's pickup ethernet connection and connects fine to the internet. but on my labtop which is wireless to my router linux will not see my wireless connection. How do I configure linux to connect through wifi.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 running Windows 7 64bits and Ubuntu 10.04 64bits. My problem is that when I'm connected to my wireless router the connection crashes when I watch a live stream video such ..... or something else. It does not happen when I'm connected via cable to the router nor in Windows 7 when I'm connected via wifi.
Yesterday, I did a clean install of Lucid on a T42 thinkpad, with wireless card as identified by lshw below. I did the installation from within a live CD session, with wifi enabled.
Code: description: Wireless interface product: PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter vendor: Intel Corporation
On reboot into the fresh system and update I had the issues that others have seen with network manager not connecting, repeatedly asking for password and so on. Oddly enough, using a Netgear usb wifi dongle worked perfectly, so I thought there might be a driver issue. Updates did not help. The network manager icon would not appear in the notification area at all when attempting to connect to wifi in a cafe locally. Today, I did a fresh re-install from the same CD with the home wifi switched off and no internet connection on the laptop. No issues. Wifi is working perfectly at present. I had to make the home connection available to all users to stop the keyring password request (I use autologin). I'll be trying to connect at local cafes tomorrow (one has no security, one uses an ascii wep password, and a third has a WPA encryption)
Is it possible that the settings from the live session are carried over in some way and interfering with network manager in some way? (This all started because my minimal install (see signature) reached a state where it would not show the network manager icon when attempting to connect to wifis in cafes and colleges, which I need to do. I decided to reinstall to return to a known state. I may try a minimal installation and manual wifi connection from the command line next...)
I have an old dell desktop with a belkin wifi dongle that connects to the internet right away when i boot in live cd mode but when i try while its installed/installing i get the connecting animation on the wifi, thing, on the top bar.it connects then loses connection and cannot reconnect 5-10 minutes later. this is driving me crazy, i have homework and i just need this thing on the internet already so i dont have to stress my macbook with a minecraft server
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.
I've just installed the ubuntu 9.10. I have one problem with it. I have a home net in configuration: Windows XP on a cable, Ubuntu on a cable and Windows on wifi. When I'm surfing on the net on Ubuntu, Wifi isn't work how it should. It's very slow and I don't know what to do with it. Windows XP on a cable is OK, it works good. What happen and how can I repair it?
I just recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a dell laptop. My WiFi connection that I've been using on the same computer for years is not working when I log on. However if I run the burnt image cd and choose the option "Use Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer" I am asked if I want install proprietary drivers. If I activate one "Broadcom STA" I can connect to the wireless connection in my house. When I am using the version installed on my laptop it doesn't ask me if I want to install the drivers and it doesn't even find them when I go to hardware drivers under system. So to sum it up I can get connection when I run Ubuntu from the cd but not when I run the Ubuntu on my laptop.
I am thinking of setting up a server but I have an initial problem (sure to be others).For reasons I won't go into, I have to use a wireless connection. What I want to do is set the server up so that it starts up automatically (BIOS has config for auto start) and connects with the wireless network.I this going to be possible with the Ubuntu 9.10 server platform?
