Networking :: Arch - Get The Wireless Working Without Any Security At All
Jan 20, 2010
I've recently installed the latest release of Archlinux. Setup is fine, but i'm having trouble setting up the wireless connection. Let me just start by saying I can get the wireless working without any security at all, so I know it's working fine. When I installed Arch I selected the base packages and the base-devil? base-daemon? packages, and made sure that every package relating to the internet or wireless was selected and installed.
Setup:
ASUS Pro50n series Notebook
Wireless Security: WPA-PSK
I have read the beginners guide wiki, and from that I have read the wireless setup wiki, which lead me onto the wpa_supplicant configuration for WPA-PSK security. In my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file I have the following:

How do I install Broadcom Wi-Fi on Arch Linux in command line mode on an Acer eMachines EM350?
I assume that Broadcom STA should be the driver used and my USB key the way to install it with the help of another PC, assuming that I can't use a RJ45 ethernet connection on LAN.

Can anyone explain why a 64 bit kernel builds a bzImage in both arch/x86 and arch/x86_64- is there a difference between the two?

I just install arch linux yesterday. And I have an issue with the wireless connection. I can see wireless connections, when i click on thet networkmanager. But I cannot connect. If I remove WPA or any security from the wireless connection(from my wifi router) I can connect to wireless network without any issue. But when there is any security is involved to the connection it does not connect. How to connect to wireless. I've been using debian for a long time, but there was no any issue with this connecting thing. I am new to arch linux.

I just did the pacman -Syu command today since i have had limited access to internet i could use with arch lately, (been tethering via droid which is only compatible in ubuntu) The command line works fine, i even reinstalled X to see if that was the problem,whenever i do startx it loads up for a second but before my xfce screen even pops up the screen blinks and blackens.

I have installed HPLIP and cups found the driver for the printer and all seemed to be setup fine. However when I tried to send a test print, cups showed the job status as stopped. If I try to send anything from Open Office, the page never prints. Not sure where to go from here.

I believe it is PS/2 but I am unsure. There isn't an option in the GNOME interface to edit this, either. Am I missing some sort of GNOME utility, or what?

I want to switch my laptop from XP to Ubuntu, but right now, i cant risk installing it. i dont want to have it partitioned so i can dual boot, so for now i only run the try-it-out mode.Before i consider installing though, i want to see if i can get everything to work ahead of time, that way im not regreting instalation. I have a Compaq Presario V2000 laptop, with 55GB hard drive and 516MB ram. So far, the trial mode is working great, but the wireless will not work. Ive tried to install the driver, but i am unable to do so. I have looked this up, and i have tried many things, and so far, none have worked.I was wondering if it was just part of the trial thing or not, but it is a Broadcom Wireless BCM4318 driver

I have just installed openSuse 11.4 KDE 64-bit on a Dell M1330. When I click on my networking panel, it says WLAN interface is unavailable. I've followed the steps in the stickied post and found the WLAN hardware info, a screenshot of which is below:Uploaded with ImageShack.usNext it says to do this - you need to look at the logs, in particular the info in /var/log/boot.msg. To see this, you need YaST => Miscellaneous => System Logs and select boot.msg.In YaST there is no such option for system logs under miscellaneous, so I can't do that. The results of the sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan command produce the following:
root's password:
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

When originally installing 11.04 I had problems getting my Ralink 5390 wireless card to work.
Today my computer froze completely and I had to turn it off via the power switch. When I turned it back on, wireless was no longer recognized! My iPod can connect to the network just fine, so it must be an Ubuntu problem. There are no problems with my ethernet connection either.
I researched this and found several threads about blocking and unblocking wireless devices using the rfkill command. Well, unfortunately for me the rfkill command doesn't work. When I type sudo rfkill list or sudo rfkill unblock all, nothing happens; it just returns me to my bash prompt. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling rfkill...nothing.

I am running Fedora 14 with KDE on my IBM T60p Thinkpad laptop. The wireless network adapter is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. The wireless network uses WPA2 with AES encryption.
Until yesterday my wireless worked fine. I originally installed wlassistant and it enabled my Network Manager to work with WPA2. My XP on the same machine still works on wireless without any issues, so both the adapter hardware and the router are eliminated as sources of the problem.
Yesterday I booted up my Linux and noticed there were 20+ security updates and I installed them all. It asked me to logoff and log back in. I did, and since then my wireless is dead as a doorknob. When the wireless adapter initializes it prompts me for the WPA2 password, however the password is visible in the password field. I click to accept it but it cant connect. Network manager just sits there waiting for authentication and nothing happens. The wpa_supplicant service is disabled, however I honestly cant remember if it was enabled before, considering that I use wlassistant. If I enable it, still nothing happens.
Anyway, thinking that the security updates possibly broke wlassistant, I uninstalled it and installed the latest version. The old version was 12, the new one is 13. It makes no difference though.I always use my laptop on wireless, therefore I am dead in the water.
Its really frustrating how something always breaks on this OS. It resembles a leaky boat that always has at least one hole. By the time I plug it another one appears, so I spend 90% of my Linux time fixing problems and have the remaining 10% for work and play. Windows and Mac work out of the box and apparently thats what 99% of users want, hence the 1% market share
Anyway, sorry about this, however losing my network connectivity from installing security updates really ticked me off. Its pretty unacceptable. Anyone has any ideas which recent fixes may be to blame? I am sure it didnt only happen to me.

I installed 9.04 clean yesterday to try and once again move from Windows to Linux and I thought I would give it a real try this time to learn the new OS. Well, right off the bat my wireless connection does not work. By default my WPA/WPK security was set on my router. My wireless adapter does connect to the router but there is no internet access. If I remove the WPA/WPK security and leave it open I can connect and I do have internet access but as soon as I re-enable WPA/WPK security I lose internet access. I even tried WEP security and same result. What the heck is going on with this? I am not going to leave my router unsecured but that seems to be the only way this works. I also upgraded this morning to 9.10 and same problem so this is not limited to 9.04.

Just upgraded to the newest version of Ubuntu(unity), and my wireless isn't working. I have the 14e4:4315 Wireless Card so I followed this posts [URL].... And still have no wifi, when I click the icon in the menu bar it says under "Wireless Networks": "wireless is disabled by hardware switch", which ins't true because on my Vostro 1520, there is only one switch and it is in the on position. I've tried 3 versions of ubuntu and none of them work with wifi getting tired of it.

I'm running Maverick Meerkat 10.10 x64, and I'm trying to set up a Samba share with user security. In other words, when accessing the share, I want to be prompted for my username and password. Everything in my smb.conf file looks ok to me, but the shares are still accessible with no user security, and I don't know why. The smb.conf file is below:

Previously I have had Linux installed on my laptop (OpenSUSE, Ubuntu) with no problems as far as wireless networking in concerned. Due to wanting to play a certain game (which I have since grown tired of), I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Recently I have booted up to live DVDs of PC-BSD, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and OpenSUSE 11.2 and I cannot get wireless networking working.
At home I use WPA2 Personal. I put in the passphrase into NetworkManager (the same as I do for Windows), and the computer gets an IP address from the router (I use 10.3.5.x at home). The problem is, I cannot connect to the Internets. If I do "ping -c 3 cnet.com" it gives me the proper response of 216.239.113.101, but if I try to go to cnet.com, I get a page cannot be displayed in Firefox.
I get this error for every website. I don't understand it seeing that I can ping the websites, but even if I put the IP address in the URL, it still doesn't load the page. What am I doing wrong? Everything is dynamic, as in Win7. But everything works perfectly in Windows, but no such luck in Linux. I know it must be something simple, but I'm at a loss. Seeing that I no longer play Star Trek Online, I'd like to put Linux or BSD back on my laptop, but no Internet is not an option.

I've been trying to get Security Spin up and running (after having tried unsuccessfully with knoppix STD). I need to be able to connect to my home network, or hell any wireless network.I've tried using iwconfig wlan0 as well as the options in the Network Configuration panel as well as other related panels. I'm able to change and set up profiles for the wireless card, but not to activate them. The button just isn't clickable.If it helps, I'm running Security Spin from a unetbootin usb drive. The wireless card is identified by the system as "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection" .

Have tried both Mythdora 10.21 32bit and 64bit (Fedora 10)o get my wireless to work.Have looked at output from various suggested commands and logs and nothing jumps out. Would appreciate any suggestions. Have attached log with all commands identified and output. Wired ethernet works with no problem.
The router shows no connection activity on the wireless portion from the Linux box. I do have a laptop that I have connected to the router before and after attempting to connect with the Linux system.The only out of the ordinary message I see is (from dmesg):wlan0: privacy configuration mismatch and mixed-cell disabled - disassociate

In the wake of a spate of posts complaining that wireless is not working in 10.04 here is mine. I'm on a (relatively old) AMD Duron 1.5Ghz, 1.5G memory with a VIA KM-266 motherboard. Wireless worked fine in 9.10. With a fresh install of the new 10.04, the usb wireless adapter is not detected, the tab to add a new wireless connection is grayed out, starting the KNetworkManager (did I got the name right?) does nothing (that is, no application starts), etc.note: if you are wondering how I am accessing the internet, I just fired up the 9.10 live CD, which as you can imagine is not the most practical thing in the world.Here is the info. The commands lsusb and lspci spit the following:
Code:
grodrigues@grodrigues-desktop:~$ lsusb

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4.2. The wireless worked perfectly in 9.04, but did not not work at all in 9.10, and now 10.4.2. I'm running a Planex USB wireless dongle on an ancient ShuttleXPC SN41G (circa 2003) - the wireless dongle is an XLink Kai GW-USMini2N. I'm connected right now on the Shuttle via Ethernet cable, but would really like to get the wireless up and running again. Here's all the info I could get as per the pinned topic instructions:
Code:
