Networking :: Netgear WG111v3 - Pingable But Not Connected?
Nov 3, 2010
I have installed a Netgear WG111v3 wireless USB networking adapter on an OpenSUSE 11.3 system. I'm using ndiswrapper to run the Windows driver. Using the "Network Settings" GNOME applet (says "Network Settings - YaST" in the title bar) it shows that I have the adapter installed as wlan0, but it's not connected. However, if I go to the "Network Tools" applet (says "Devices - Network Tools" in the title bar) and select "Wireless Interface (wlan0)" from the drop-down, it says that I have an IPv4 address of 192.168.1.104. This is a plausible address that my router could have served. However, I cannot use the network interface from the box itself.
I recently installed Fedora 14 and am unable to configure my Netgear WG111v3 wireless adapter in KDE However XFCE and Gnome work fine. Has anybody had this problem?
OK, so running Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04 kernel 2.6.32-22-generic-pae lsusb brings this: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:4260 NetGear, Inc. WG111(v3) 54 Mbps Wireless [RealTek RTL8187B]
So the problem is that puppy, a USB Wi-Fi adapter if I unplug and plug it back in, it'll respond for a little bit, but eventually will stop transmitting. code...
i am writing a script to know the status of the server whether it is accessable or not. i use ping. But sometimes the server is pingable but the SSH didnt work., is there any way so that i can check if the SSH (port 22) is working or not after ping that server.
I am running 10.04 beta right now, on a hp a6740in , I have wireless usb adapter WG111v3 with me for connecting to my home network , It works perfect in windows but i am trying to get working it with Ubuntu since the past year. In 10.04 beta , It MAY connects for sometime and then drops out,trying to connect again and again, asking me to review the password each time.
I have also filed a bug about the same some 6-7 months month ago, but the ubuntu community seems busy with many other things. So i decided finally posting on the forum again , hoping to get a working solution this time(previous was when jaunty launched) This is the only thing that keeps me away from using ubuntu for my general day work, I have already searched through ubuntu forums but always end up with ndiswrapper thing which doesnt works.
I'm trying to install my WG111v3 usb wireless adapter on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS 32 bit. I found the .inf for it and installed it with ndiswrapper ("Windows Wireless Drivers"). It says that the driver is installed but "Hardware present: No".
When I type 'iwconfig' I get: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
I'm running Ubuntu through VM VirtualBox. I'm not connected to ethernet (windows recognizes my adapter) but I still have internet access in ubuntu.
When I type 'iwlist scan' I get:
lo Interface doesn't support scanning. eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
When I try installing the usb drivers for my motherboard through the same method of installing the .inf with ndiswrapper, I get the same "Hardware present: No".
I'm a total NOOB and I just finished a dual boot Ubunutu Studio 9.10 64bit/Windows 7 x64 install on a brand new i7 PC using a WD10EARS hard drive (with the new Advanced Format) and I gave myself top marks for getting by the mammoth amount of obstacles to accomplish what I have so far.
Item of note: you can NOT do a complete install with Ubuntu Studio 9.10 using a wireless device. The installer ONLY recognizes motherboard ethernet ports. No worries, I moved it to the office and the LAN line and got a complete install. I am using this in my living room though as a Media PC with MythTV and the distance requires me to use WIRELESS.
After a successful install, I was unable to get my brand new, out of box Netgear WG111v3 to establish a successful connection and I need your help. Pardon the length of this post, I will try to organize it as best as I can but I have done a LOT of troubleshooting before posting here. Here's what I did so far:
1. Tested Wireless in Win7 on same PC. Works GREAT! Rebooted, went into Ubuntu Studio 9.10 and got no joy. 2. This page says the WG111v3 works out of box with Karmic and I can state with 100% certainty it does NOT. 3. Went to this page (which is THE best how to out there) and followed instructions. I discovered a bug in wpa_passphrase immediately. I use a very complex passphrase using !#$&@ characters in the mix. wpa_passphrase dies with various errors when it sees these characters because it thinks they're command items rather than part of the text in my key. Try it yourself. Create any long text string with those characters and input it to wpa_passphrase. It dies. Works fine with regular letters/numbers. I had to use this page to get the HEX value for my passphrase so I could complete my interfaces file. On a hunch, I changed my passphrase on the router to be a simple 10 letter word all in lower case. wpa_passphrase changed that to HEX fine, updated interfaces file, rebooted router and PC and got nothing. So it's NOT the passphrase. 4. Went to this page, which again states it works out of box but doesn't and tried all the help there. NO JOY. 5. Tried here too. The help there is good when combined with #2 above but still nothing. 6. Went to unsupported versions of Ubuntu to try some old school tricks. Got nothing. 7. Found this site and it has EXACTLY my problem! I always end up with "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." when it tries to get an IP address from the router. As you can see, that user found no fix either. 8. I turned off ALL security on the router and left it wide open, updated my interfaces file appropriately, rebooted everything and it still couldn't connect?
I am able to ping my hostname of sinbad only from the linux system itself. On all my windows boxes, I am not able to ping it. I can only ping the IP address.
On every machine that SSHes in, the connection gets dropped randomly between immediately, and 30 minutes into the session, while the user is actively using the remote system (typing, etc). Before, during and after the disconnection, the system responds to pings regularly (0% packet loss).It takes about 5-10 minutes before I can make an SSH connection again.I have tried restarting SSH on the server and rebooting the server. I even removed and reinstalled sshd and it is still happening.What might be causing these random disconnects and how might I solve this?
Does a network install assign a pingable ip during installation? I am trying to verify why I get an error during installation that "stage2.img" cannot be found and I'm guessing that since I can *not* ping the static IP I assigned, that the network functionality is not working during the install process. Can anyone confirm if I should be able to ping a system during installation using the assigned static IP?
I have a Fedora core 3 box that I am trying to use to replace my current document server. This box was part of a domain at a different location previously. At this location we use a "work group" network. I have set the IP, Gateway, Subnet, and DNS servers. I can see the machine from my XP machine, but cannot get a connection to the internet?
I used the following guides to try and get my Netgear WG511 PCMCIA card going:
[URL]
I also made a post about it here: [URL]. As the problem doesn't appear to be ndiswrapper itself I've made this separate post.
Unfortunately, I still end up having wlan0 attempting to connect, prompting for my password, trying to connect then prompting for my password (ad infinitum).
I changed my network security from WPA to WEP and now my card works fine. why this might be happening (i.e. why WEP works but WPA doesn't?)
I have managed to connect to the above NAS using the supplied RAIDar software from my base unit. The unit is duel boot with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP. Both operating systems work with the NAS both by wireless and wired using RAIDar and any other relevant programme
However my laptop, running Ubuntu, will not find it using Raidar, the IP address in a browser nor with a file manager or any other programme. I have tried both wired and wireless connections
However if I go to "places" from the top bar, which opens Nautilus, I can access it and all the files on it.
I have been checking threads, Google etc. from what I have gathered I might have wasted my money on the Netgear adapter, I have not had any problems connecting to the network but I am operating at 54 MBs on my Realtek internal adapter

Which one of the above is the realtek and which one is the NETGEAR? This is my first post, and I don't know if this is too much info to place in a message. Also if anyone responds with help, could you please comment with an explanation of any commands, I am new to Linux, but I am real happy and impressed and really don't wish to be a Windoean anymore, I wish to become a full fledged Linuxean.
I am running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.10 that I have dual booted with a 32-bit version of Windows 7 and can't seem to get my Netgear WN311B wireless adaptor to work while I am in Ubuntu but obviously works fine in Windows.
I've been searching for help on this issue, and I've tried some things, but I can't get my connection to work.I can see the available networks, and the LED on my device is on, but when I try to connect it can't connect and asks me for the network security key again.I've installed and run the ath9k-htc installer, but I noticed no change when I did so. Is there a step I'm missing?

Get a Realtek rtl8187l based usb-adapter (such as netgear wg111v2) work in linux is not tricky, but how to get high tx power and driver stability?
You could have tried ndiwrapper, as i did, and got stuck with a kernel module pretty buggy and crashy, or could have just used the common native driver, without hi-power feature.
To achieve my zen state, i had to work around with a base native driver, a feature-filling patch to apply to it, and the only working kernel supposed to work with, 2.6.27.
That's a brief step by step path:
get the base driver (rtl8187 in our case) and decompress: [URL]
get the featuring patch "rtl8187_2.6.27.patch" from: [URL] and extract it in the base driver directory
then apply it with: ~$ patch -Np1 -i rtl8187_2.6.27.patch
remove old modules, compile and install new one (as root)
~# rmmod r8187 rtl8187 ~$ make ~# make install
Now you should have a new net device (wlan#) under iwconfig you can use as usual.
To turn on the hi-power capability: ~# iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1
and set the transmission power value (may be dangerous, see below): ~# iwconfig wlan0 txpower <value of 0 to 35> # i use 30, should be around one watt
and wuel you're done you have your pen running strong and stable on the 2.6.27 kernel.
For a detailed reference and clarification about txpower sets, see the aircrack page: [URL]
It auto-detected the card, but it's only operating at 100mb/s. It's connected to a gigabit switch. The driver auto-installed for the card is r8169. How do i get it up to the speed is should be at? Its kinda why i bought it...
I have a bought a Netgear Wireless N-150 router WGR614v10. I am using my net connection via PPPoE wired on a Win 7 machine and the connection was flawless the MAC address on the router is of the Win 7 machine.
My problem is that I have an old machine PIII 600Mhz 398MB SD Ram on VectorLinux 6.0....I tried connecting the internet directly with PPPoE the connection worked fine and I could connect through the net...but now after installing the router the machine is not detected by the router(Wired). only my Win 7 (Wired) machine and my android phone (wireless) is shown in attached devices and the VectorLinux machine is not shown....
The lan card light is on on the VectorLinux machine.
typed commands like ifconfig -a, lsmod, lspci got the reading:
I'm running Slakware 13 (kernel 2.6.29.6) on a inspiron 1525. I use ndiswarper to use the BCM4312 wireless device without any problem but the fact that the driver does not support the Monitor mode. I therefore bought a NetGear WN111 v2 usb stick but I can't get the linux driver.
Even ndiswarper does not work but it's may be because I don't have the right .sys .ins files. (just to try)
So, I wonder if someone has already successfully manged this device working on Slackware 13?
Actually, I don't know if we can make lets say wlan0 and wlan1 working at the same time. I've try many drivers mentioned on Ubuntu forums but none of theme work with me.
Many people talk about wpa_supplicant but I don't know if I really need it to make my wn111v2 working. And what is a firmware?
I cannot connect to internet. I just installed Fedora 12 w/ the Live CD and I have a Linksys WMP54G Wireless Card (v4.1 I believe) and it apparently installed fine upon install of fedora. It will not thought connect to the internet. It reads my connect (NETGEAR-2.4-G), my router is a Netgear WNDR3300. It worked perfectly fine on Windows XP. Like I said, it picks up my wireless connection. But when I go to connect it attempts to connect for like a minute or two then goes back to not connected.
i need help getting 64 bit ubuntu 9.04 or mint 7 to recognise my rangemax/netgear wn311t wifi adapter.the drivers work out of the box in 64 bit Vista, and will work fine in 32 bit 9.0/mint 7 via ndis wrapper.when i use the drivers from the netgear website in 64 bit 9.04/mint7 i get an error " invalid driver." I searched the net for a 64 bit driver and found driver that recongnises the card in 64bit 9.04/mint 7 but when i go into terminal the result shows that that the card is "unclaimed" (it also says unmanaged i think)
My wireless disconnects after around 10 minutes. It does not reconnect automatically. I've to pull out the usb dongle and then put it back in to connect again.

I have 10.04 lucid installed on a presario 2800t laptop(it's old and hasn't got much memory). Anyway, now I can't get my Netgear WNA1100 to work. I know it works right away with 11.04, but that isn't really an option for me. It's too slow on this old computer. get it working with 10.04?
