Networking :: 3G Data Card In Ubuntu 10.04 Not Getting Connected
Apr 22, 2011
I'm trying to connect the Reliance 3G data card in Ubuntu 10.04. I've done modprobe then make settings in /etc/wvdial.conf with username and password field as empty string. But when I'm trying to connect with sudo wvdial it is showing that "Modem is not responding" and exit. However, the same procedure with Reliance netconnect+ which take a username and password, working well. Does 3G needs some settings?
I have to connect to my university's network. I was using ethernet through our router, but now I cannot do that. I recently installed the TRENDnet TEW-643PI and it works perfectly on the Windows 7 partition. Is there anyway to get the card working on Ubuntu without being connected to the internet?
I have a Netgear WG511GE PCMCIA card, and a driver from the original installation disk. I used an ndiswrapper-utils gui called ndisgtk to install the driver. I then do the following to verify an installation:
[Code]....
Unfortunately, when I put the PCMCIA card in, nothing happens. On Windows, a green light flashes even if the card is not connected to any network. At first I thought this might be a hardware issue, so I did #lspci and got:
[Code]....
Lo and behold, when I put a different unbranded Wireless PC Card in it works. I'm no expert in Networks, but to me this suggests a driver problem (i.e. the card is physically detected it just won't work). However, the correct driver was installed with ndisgtk and this was verified with #ndiswrapper -l, hence the confusion.
I'd be grateful if anyone else has had this problem/knows of this problem and is willing to share the solution with me/point me in the right direction. So far, Google has returned a few posts from a few years ago talking about patching kernels and manually building files etc (just before Prism54 became integrated into the Linux kernel).
Would it be possible to insert another wired network card into the router-connected computer, share the internet connection and be able to transfer files between the two?
Suppose that it is not convenient to go behind a machine to have a look.So I want to use a command to show whether the cable is plugged into network card. (Media connected or not)Can ifconfig do this? Or another one?

Heres the set up I have: one eeepc running ubuntu netbook. with a usb wifi dongle, this is connected to a parabolic antenna i made out of pizza boxes and tin foil. One fujitsu laptop running ubuntu 10.10. the eee connects to the internet via the dongle. then the laptop connects to the eee. I set this up by using network manager. I created a new wirless connection and called it "UbuntuAdhoc". The on-board card connected to this without issue and the laptop was able to connect to the new wireless broadcast by the eees on-board card.
This worked perfectly untill I rebooted the eee. Now the eee is unable to conect to the internet if the on-board caard is conected to "ubuntuadhoc". also the dongle now wants to conect to "ubuntuadhock" too.
I installed the driver for my network card. iwconfig and ifconfig are all responsive to connecting to the network, I'm given an access point address. Then, I try to connect to a website and no dice. ping www.google.com yields no result. What gives?
I'm using ubuntu karmic and I'm not able to connect to the internet with my reliance netconnect data card using network manager. Other distros like fedora, opensuse n sabayon connected easily with nm. Ubuntu detects the data card flawlessly but just doesnt connect.This problem has been persistent even in previous ubuntu versions, n I used to use wvdial. But downloading wvdial on some other comp with every dependency is really cumbersome.

Ubuntu 10.04. In order to get my photo application (digikam 1.2) to download photos off my digital camera/SD card I have had to configure Ubuntu not to 'mount' the usb connected camera when it is plugged into the pc. I can use digikam to download pictures off the camera/SD card into the pc. I'm having a problem when it comes to deleting the original pictures off the sd card/camera. Googling this problem it seems the issue is around Ubuntu only having read access to the SD card. It appears in windows world when an sd card is presented one has read/write access so things tend to 'work out of the box'.
In Linux/Ubuntu world I'm reading that digital cameras/SD cards do not (always?) work out of the box because you only have read access. If I close down digikam and launch nautilus I can see the camera/SD card but cannot write to it - I'm told I only have read access. I have also convinced my father-in-law to switch to Ubuntu but at the moment although he can download photos and view them I see no way of (ideally through digikam) of deleting the pictures off his camera/SD card.
having trouble with my asus 1000 rt2860 wireless n card and WPA/PSK/WPA2 connections. Funky thing is it worked in the 2.26.32-21 kernel (iwconfig shows ra0 as the wireless interface), but when the kernel was updated and pushed through in the ubuntu updates to 2.26.32-22 the wireless card won't stay connected and iwconfig says wlan0 is the interface. I checked the proprietary drivers and they said that the driver for my card was active, but not in use. How do I use the ra0 instead of wlan0?
how do i use the driver that's listed as not being used? I'm having to boot up lucid with the older kernel now, it's annoying, lots of programs aren't running as expected as a result. I've tried manually installing the driver from the RaLink website as detailed in many other posts concerning this wireless card. It seems to work for some people, but not with me.
I have a tape deck which I have connected to my sound card (REaltek AC'97 Audio, is the info I could gather) and of course when I play a tape I'd like to hear it though my sound card. Problem is, it is not working.
My info: A double boot Fedora 12/WinXP SP3 machine. Please do note that when I boot into WinXP I do not have this problem, I can hear the music fine. Further, previously and with exactly the same hardware but with FC 6 it worked! In other words by upgrading from FC 6 to Fedora 12 I lost the ability to use my sound card this way (in Linux).
I've got a Tape drive attached to my server connected by SAS card, and am trying to copy some data across.but it fails to write, in dmesg i seescsi 1:0:1:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 1mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x31120403): Originator={PL}, Code={Abort}, SubCode(0x0403) does this mean faulty hardware/cables?
I have a tv tuner card connected to a cctv camera for streaming, all works good in tvtime, cheese used to work but then I changed the resolution to a lower one and now it segfaults, purged reinstalled same issue, also I tried with mplayer, mencoder, mythtv (coludn't find any signal on the input) and camorama. Code: mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=1:channel=1:width=768:height=768:device=/dev/video0
And it displays lines through everything but I can see the messed up image, I believe this is due to the current input format being YVU420, I was able in another program to verify this by changing the input codec to yvuv i think it was, how do I change the in mplayer, mencoder, camorama has this bug too, how to change this setting ut codec in mplayer and mencoder, also canorama has this issue, but I can actually see everything, b/w and with lines through it. I am just trying to record video to AVI.
We have a webcam that is connected to a tv tuner card via the rca input on the tuner card. I want to set that up so that i can view it remotely over the internet. I've seen you can use vlc to do this, but the problem is that I don't want to have the webcam's computer recording and streaming all the time. I want it to only do that when i want to view it from my remote computer. We don't view the camera at a regular time, so a set schedule wouldn't work.
I hope this all makes sense. Is this possible, and if so, what is recommended for getting this done.I'm hoping i can somehow control this with a remote control and we'd see it on our tv monitor (that'd make it easy for the non-computer people here), so if it could be done in a script that would be great cause i can have the remote run the script.
I have an old computer that I want to turn in to a backup server. I was planning on using a 1 TB drive connected by a SATA card since the motherboard only has PATA. However when looking everything I've found makes it sound like I need to install the card for it to work. I want to know if I can install Debian to the hard drive through the SATA card or not?
I have an application where I am sending data via serial port from PC1 (Java App) and reading that data in PC2 (C++ App). The problem that I am facing is that my PC2 (C++ App) is not able to read complete data sent by PC1 i.e. from my PC1 I am sending 190 bytes but PC2 is able to read close to 140 bytes though I am trying to read in a loop.Below is code snippet of my C++ AppOpen the connection to serial port
I am not sure where to post this so i figure that general help is as good as any. I have just bought my self a 32 gb micro sd card and I want to transfur all my old stuff (apps, contacts, music) off my existing card, how do I do this?
I am trying to install a PCIe card for data compression in Linux ubuntu 9.10(karmic Koala). As you can see in the following code although I have the root access I can not get permission to install the device driver.As I have the root access I suppose to get access to install the driver. I checked around and got the procedure from a web siteEnabling root access in unbuntuBasically in almost all linux machines we will be havingroot access for login.but in ubuntu by default that option was not enabled.If u want to have root login in ubuntu then u have to do some changes in ur Ubuntu machinesSteps to follow1.First enter into ubuntu as your user login.2.Then open the terminal and type the command sudo -s,it will ask for root access and type the password.3.Then type passwd root it will ask for new password4.Open terminal and go to the path /etc/gdm/5.Open gdm.conf6.search for AllowRoot=false7.and then change AllowRoot=true8.now restart ur machine9.now u can enjoy with root accessThe funny part is when I search for the file which is gdm.conf in the prescribed location, I can not find it.

I am using a linux FC-12 machine which is running on 2.6.36 kernel. I wanted to use the USB data card with that machine. But it is not detecting the device. I found that the modules usbserial, option, qcserial were missing. I installed them using "insmod".After that I have removed and reconnected the device. Still the OS is not detecting the device.After the reboot of the machine, again the modules related to USB are missing.
I purchased a new Desktop PC and MTS MBLAZE data card. It works in Windows XP OS. To make it work in Fedora GNOME OS how can I proceed? Which software do I need? Where do I get it and how to download and instal it in my PC? The firm selling the data card do not have an easy solution.
A friend of mine asked me to try and recover some photos she deleted by accident on her SD memory card. Normally, I would flip over to my Windows box and do this, but I'm wondering if there is a Linux equivalent to a Windows data recovery program. I'm running Fedora 10.
I've been using Suse on my 7 year old computer for years but now have a shiny new Dell Inspiron 570 MT with AMD Athlon? II X4 630.I thought that I should try the 64 bit version of Suse 11.2 on the new machine and it now dual boots, but I have an ethernet problem.Yast tells me:NetLink BCM57788 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (Not connected)BusID : 0000:02:00.0Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details.I searched for 'eth' in dmesg output without success but found 'net' in this section:
