General :: Keeps Disconnecting From Wireless Network?
Sep 12, 2011
I'm running Arch Linux on an Acer laptop and my wirless connection doesn't stay up. After a while it disconnects, and when I try to reconnect I get stuck with a "Waiting for authorization" message. I have to retry several times before getting the connection stay up for few minutes. This happens with both networkmanager and wicd. The strange thing is that the iMac that sits next to the laptop connects fine, and when I use my laptop within the university wireless network it works normally.
EDIT: I've tried to connect manually following the steps
I have always had trouble in the past getting wireless adapters and what not to start working on Ubuntu but with each 6-month upgrade most problems are fixed while new ones are made. Since Ubuntu 10.10 just came out I thought I'd give it a go and test it with my hardware.
Before 10.10 Ubuntu could not connect with my wireless device and I had to do many things with gedit and such to get it working. After I have upgraded to 10.10 Ubuntu now recognizes my wireless device and network and I can search the web...but wait here it comes.
Literally minutes after a fresh install and first connection to my network my wireless signal will drop and prompt me to reconnect. Of course the first thing comes to mind I reconnect which doesn't work so I unplug the device and replug it making it works...Two minutes later my connection drops again and so I so reboot, and if you really want to know what happens next just restart this paragraph.

Im having some problems with the wireless too. I have an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop with the latest version of ubuntu on it. I have a wireless modem and every time I go to connect to the internet the wireless connections keep conflicting againts each other and then I get disconnect every 30 mins and when I try to connect again it just keeps disconnecting, at first when I installed ubuntu it couldn't find the wireless network until I created one and now it seems to find all connects around the area but when I go to connect to mine it just keeps connecting and Disconnecting.
I have a Toshiba Satellite M55-S325 (as it came from the factory, no mods), a Linksys WRT54G router, and Ubuntu 9.10/Karmic with all updates. I've had issues since I upgraded from 9.04/Jaunty to 9.10/Karmic. It did work for awhile (I think a few days), but then it suddenly just couldn't find our wireless network. I reformatted (with 9.10) thinking it had just been a bad install - now I can connect to our network, but it throws me off every two minutes. My roommate (Dell laptop, Vista) has no problems with the internet, and I've visited a friend (in another state) and used her wireless internet without issues (though I couldn't tell you which router they were using). I've gone into our router's settings (with both my laptop and my roommate's) to reset the router or change the security settings, but with no real progress.
I recently did a clean install on my ASPIRE 5490G laptop with 9.10x64 and am having some odd problems with wireless.
The wireless will suddenly drop and ask me for re-authentication of the encryption key which I put in. Then it will ask me again. It will then refuse to connect to the router.
If I hit cancel then on the notification area the nm-applet will not have the router listed in the wireless networks .
If I kill the nm-applet and restart it with ALT-F2 and run nm-applet --sm-disable it still does not show the networks available.
I know it is not the router as my flatmate who I share with uses a laptop with Windows 7 and they have no problems.
Brand new to linux/ubuntu..Just downloaded the most recent version. Well when i try to connect to my network....it connects...then about 2 min later it disconnects and i have to unplug and replug my adapter.
I am new to Linux and just put Ubuntu on my pc when i am using Ubuntu my wireless keeps connecting and disconnecting. Im not sure what I am suppose to do.
My laptop is a Sony Vaio NW130J
The wireless card/driver is Intel WiFi link 5100 AGN
I dont know anything about Linux so if you could please explain it as easy as possible.
I installed ubuntu 10.04 a few days ago. And I am running into a few problems wherein my wireless network disconnects and prompts me again for password.
Even when I re-enter it (correctly of course) I cannot reconnect and I have to do a system restart. After the restart, the wireless stays connected but disconnects again after a while and I find myself stuck in this loop.
I do not know if the following is any help, but below I am producing the output of lspci command and a few log messages that I think maybe related to this problem
Here is the output of lspci command
And here are some messages that show up quite often in daemon.log
I just bought a new laptop. This one came with win7 home. The wireless works perfect. Today I installed ubuntu 10.4 next to windows. I made a first connection which went easy. But after 30 seconds it disconnects. Then it tries 30 seconds to reconnect. It reconnects and after 30 secodns or so, it disconnects again. It keeps doing this all the time on ubuntu while on windows it works without any problems. This is what sais under the device manager for my wirelesscard stuff:
Intel(R) WiFi 1000 BGN Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter #2 Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
I'm finding my wireless connection is disconnecting alot, I never had this problem when I was runnning windows 7. I have tried running wicd client but found it was doing the same, then uninstalled the normal network manager and tried just using wicd but it kept saying bad password and wouldnt connect at all. Even though it would work fine but disconnect alot when i still had network manager on.
My wireless card disconnects frequently and sometimes it won't even connect at all. I've googled the card and the driver and it looks like others are having similar issues as well. [url]-[url]
My lspci | grep -i network is as follows
Code:
Under iwconfig, it's identified as wlan0, and I'm running kernel x86_64 2.6.32.9
I am a newbie when it comes to linux, but know a little (the little bit of dangerous stuff).I have set up a home web server for when I am testing website using PHP, mysql and other funky stuff. This is a reflection of my production server as far as I can with my limited knowledge.I am also using this box to learn more about the Linux operating system and I doing this slowly. Before I installed the GUI (Gnome) I was using a text based server, this was working fine and running absolutey fine and never disconnecting. This has been fine and working 24/7 for around a month.
At the weekend (just gone) I ran the following at terminal # apt-get install gnome
This gave me a GUI so I could try some other things.
When the computer is idle the network card seems to drop the connection, Im trying to see after how long it does this. I have seen this work fine after an hour, but after a night, the network has been dropped. This is a hard wired connection to the router.first time I thought the PC had froze so rebooted the PC, but the second time, I plugged a mouse into it and noticed the the network icon had changed, after right clicking on it, i noticed that It had dropped the connection. After clicking the "reconnect" option it is back up and running.
I am running a 3-G wireless USB broadband modem, and connecting with Network Manager, but I keep getting disconnected when idle after 5-6 minutes. I am used to using Kinternet to connect with my 3-G wireless USB broadband modem, and setting it up in Yast / Network / Modems, but was not able to configure my modem there (for some mysterious reason) so ended up using Network Manager instead.
What's going on here regarding YAST being unable to configure my modem (even when Network Manger is disabled). But my main problem at this point is that my connection times out after about 6 minutes if I'm idle. This is a big problem for me because I type slow and frequently get disconnected while posting on message boards. Where are the idle time out settings are for Network Manager? I can't seem to find them.
I have a MSI netbook, U100, on which I've installed Ubuntu 10.10. This keeps disconnecting from the network, though the applet shows me that the netbook found it. I mention that I have a wireless network and another laptop, with WIN 7, where I have no problems with the Internet connection. I also have a 3G USB modem, which let me connect without problem.
Need help, ubuntu keeps connecting and disconnecting to my wireless router. whenever i am able to get it to connect for a significant amount of time, i still have no access to the internet.
using ubuntu 10.04
using Linksys router, not sure what model but can find out.
using toshiba satellite laptop
I am able to access my router and internet in Windows without any problem
dont have anything of importance on ubuntu install, so i could reinstall but would rather not so that i could fix this problem in the future.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell XPS M1530. I'm getting very frequent disconnects to my wireless network, despite good signal. I have wicd and nm-applet running side by side, wicd doesn't work by itself and nm-applet won't get a new IP after reassociating with the AP.
Wireless connection is steady in Windows 7, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the driver.
I want to know any command which is equal to disconnecting and reconnecting lan cable. actually sometimes my router takes some time to connect to internet and when this happens my desktop shows network disconnected. but when router is connected system does no detect it and i have to manually disconnect and reconnect the cable which is not convenient.
a while ago, Network manager kept on messing around and disconnecting me etc. I attempted to setup a static network (wired) and since then, everything worked fine. I also have apache running and have had no problems with that. I know there were some apache auto updates this week but I have been doing no dev work. I went to check out one of my local sites to do some work yesterday and there was just nothing happening.
I checked everything with apache, it is all running etc. I have stripped back the conf files to be clean and fresh and netstat is showing apache as listening on 127.0.0.1:80 as it should for a single default site that I have on there now. BUT if I try to ping localhost by name or by 127.0.0.1 I am getting "Destination Port Unreachable" Since I have been trying to fix this, I have been trawling the internet to try and clean up my network setup from scratch (I have also had problems with https sites that has turned up to be the MTU setting on my eth0 interface) but to be honest I am not sure exactly what should be set between ifconfig, route, netstat and apache. should I be able to ping localhost independantly of running apache2 (i.e if it is stopped) or would a successful ping rely on apache working correctly.
I have a broadband mobile modem iCon 225 (Option) with SiMobil provider (Slovenia). I run ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). I connect to the internet without problem. After a few minutes, the modem lights start signaling that there is no connection, but the network manager shows connected status. I have to reconnect the network manager to regain connection. After about a dozen times of reconnecting like this, I have to reboot the system, as it won't connect, even if I unplug and replug the modem.
I've noticed these frequent disconnects have started a few days ago. I did experience disconnects in the past, but as nearly often as this. I can't attribute disconnects to activity/inactivity, as they seem to happen no matter what I do.
Our corporate wireless network uses continuously changing passwords with RSA tokens.So every time we need to connect to the wireless we need to enter a new password off the RSA token. For extra fun using the wrong password a couple of times in a row causes the users account to be locked.Network manager automatically stores and reuses the password, with the net result that it is constant getting my account locked.Is there some way to prevent it from storing my password for that network?
I've seen many threads of this type, but I didn't see anyone simply say what the problem is. There's got to be something happenning to make it disconnect, and then something else makes it so it can't re-connect.What I get is that it connects for some time (maybe a short time, maybe a longer time) but eventually it just disconnects. When I try to re-connect wpa_supplicat log says simply it's trying to associate with the AP; it's associated with the AP; and then it's disconnected: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
It is a home-built with AMD64 and a D-Link DWA-160 A2 (Atheros AR9710) and Netgear extreme 300 router AP. The router log shows it is in fact connecting for a short while only to be disconnected at my computer's request.This is Fedora 13 out of the box (sort of!) except that I have the development repos and the updates repos and the RPM fusion repos installed. I have NM applet running. I use one called simply "network", and also one called "control network devices". but they all lead to the same result that it can't reconnect. If I play with it enough doing any variety of changes I can eventually get it to reconnect, but there's no telling what action was the successful one. I just think it reset whatever was bothering it. But, as I saw another thread describe, if I delete ALL network connection definitions and reboot, it will find the network and it will connect. But sooner or later I'll be back to where it disconnects.So, does anyone actually know what the major malfunction is? It should have been identified and qualified and quantified by now so that there's a simple write-up of cause and fix. But thru all my googling I can't find anything definite. If anyone has some good answer please post it so we all can benefit.
I have a VM running Fedora 17 on VMWare over windows 7. I want to SSH to my university server from fedora but when I try something like: ssh myuser@server.com
I don't get request for my password. If I try to SSH using PuTTY in windows, everything is OK. Then I pinged the server and got the following message: From 192.168.0.106: icmp_seq=2 Redirect Network(New nexthop: 192.168.0.1)
It repeated over and over. I tried NAT and Bridged network connection on the VM, but I'm not sure what this means completely, so I may have messed up somewhere around here.
I have a desktop running Ubuntu 9.10 with a D-Link WUA-1340 (Supported - last on list) USB wireless adapter, through which I would like to set up a wireless network for internet connection sharing at home.
I have 2 ethernet adapters on my desktop (Eth0, Eth1), and an Apple Airport Express, which I initially tried to use, then thought it might be better to just bypass the Airport Express.
My problem is that although I create a wireless network and connect to it with my macbook, I am unable to access the Internet on it.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, and have worked through WifiDocsShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless a few times, as this seems to be exactly what I am trying to do.
I would like to use a wireless network from Ubuntu. In the network drop-down menu I select a network (this is a University network I have an account there). Then I get a windows with the following fields:
I put there my user name and password and do not change default value and leave "Anonymous Identity"blank.
As a result of that I get "Authentication required by wireless network". How can I solve this problem?
I think it is important to notice that our system administrator tried to find some files (which are probably needed to be used as "CA Certificate"). He said that he does not know where this file is located on Ubuntu (he support only Windows). So, probably this is direction I need to go. I need to find this file. But may be I am wrong. May be something else needs to be done.
I've beenhaving some trouble getting my wireless network card working on my Slackware 12 box. Currently it identifies the card and can scan for networks, but I can't seem to join a network. Here's some output:
It doesn't seem to be accepting the essid setting, and it's giving an error for the key setting. Also, I'm noticing an inconsistency in the wireless protocols. The AP claims that it's 802.11g with rates up to 54 Mb/s. But it should be 802.11n. It's an Apple Airport Extreme and the Radio Mode is set to Automatic and displays "802.11a/n-02.11b/g/n" on the Airport Utility. The interface also claims that it's 802.11g, though shows a rate of 300 Mb/s. It's a Belkin "Play" Wireless USB Adapter (F7D4101).
(Note: I'm using ndiswrapper and the WinXP drivers which were installed from the Belkin software.)
Mac OS X has built-in support for internet connection sharing through the settings as in the following screenshot:
This works very well with other Macs, but I'm having problems connecting to such a network using Linux. I tried all combinations of configuration, double- and triple-check the WEP password but could never get an IP address. In a last effort I also tried without encryption, but still couldn't get my Linux box connect to the network.
I don't know if Windows has the same problem. Now I'm suspecting two things. Either I misconfigured something in my Linux installation, or OS X is doing something smart and makes it difficult for non-Apple devices to use the network (I also tested with an iPhone, it connects very well, unsurprisingly). Now what is wrong? What do I have to do?
Tried the live boot of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my work PC today (it has Windows Vista on it and it is literally DEAD slow). There's a wireless network in the office and the PC has a wireless network card installed. The problem was the following - I booted up Ubuntu, the "tray" was showing the network icon. I click on it, it shows me the list of all available wireless networks. I click on the one that belongs to our office, enter the password, click "Connect".
Now, here comes the problem - after "loading" for some three minutes, the same window pops back up. No errors, no messages, absolutely nothing. The password is correct because the Windows installation and the other PCs in the office can connect just fine. Anyone knows what could be the problem? The drivers are apparently fine if it can find the networks and detect the connection encryption correctly.
I am a LINUX newbie using Ubuntu. I love it so far but I am having issues. I cannot connect to the wireless network that I am using with my other Windows PC. The problem in my opinion is that the wireless device I use isn't operating. No light comes on the device. I am not sure how to "find hardware" with Ubuntu.
