Networking :: Realtek 8192CE PCI-E Can't Obtain IP With Wicd?

Jun 18, 2011

I needed to get a wireless adapter for my desktop PC so I went to newegg and looked around to see what PCI-E cards they had available. I came across a Encore one that uses the realtek 8192CE chipset. I confirmed before I bought it that it is supported in the kernel as of version 2.6.38. I am running Slackware 13.37 and I compiled a new 2.6.39.1 kernel and after I rebooted the kernel I checked lsmod,iwconfig, and ifconfig and confirmed that all the correct modules are loaded and the card is recognized by both iwconfig and ifconfig. At first Wicd acted as if there was no card in the system so I checked dmesg and found that I was missing the firmware for the drivers. I went to the realtek sight and downloaded the drivers from there and got the firmware and copied it to /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and now wicd recognized the card and finds my networks. But whenever I try to connect to my network I get an error saying "Can't obtain IP address". I have googled around and can't find any clues on this. The only thing I have noticed is that the activity LED is not working which leads me to believe the card is either turned off/or not powered on. The light works fine in Windows 7. The network I am connecting also uses WEP. I am having no trouble connecting in Windows so I know the card works.

Slackware :: Realtek 8192CE Wireless Adapter Firmware

Jun 17, 2011

So I bought a new wireless pci-e adapter today that has a realtek 8192CE chipset. I checked before I bought it and it is supported in the kernel since 2.6.38. Just to be safe I used the kernel-huge-2.6.39-rc4 config file from testing just to get it to work. All the kernel modules are loaded correctly and it is recognized by iwconfig, however wicd acts as if there is no wireless card in the system. I checked dmesg and saw this error.
rtl8192cu:loading firmware file rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin
rtl8192cu:firmware loading failed

So I googled around and didn't find much except for somethings about needing firmware. I did make firmware_install but for some reason there is no rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin file. As a test I found an RPM that had the bin file I needed. I converted it to a tgz and ran explodepkg on it to extract the one file I needed. I made a directory /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and dropped the .bin file in and wicd immediately found my networks. So I guess it is a missing firmware issue, however I am currently not able to obtain and ip address. Why did the kernel not build the firmware I need, or is that something I have to download and build separately?

Ubuntu Networking :: Wicd Unable To Obtain IP Address?

Mar 12, 2010

I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (64 Bit) and I'm trying my best to get this Linksys WMP300N wireless adapter to work.I have searched and gone through a number of threads here with some level of progress but I still can not get this to work.Adapter info is BCM43XG [14e4:4329] rev 01I have installed driver bcmwl5.inf using ndiswrapper and ndisgtk.I had absolutely no success trying to use network manager applet so uninstalled it and went with Wicd instead which at least sees my SSID network with a strong signal.My network is encrypted using WPA and I entered the passphrase which seems to pass authentication but it keeps trying to get an IP address until finally it just tosses a failed message.I feel as though I'm really close but it just won't connect.

iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wicd Does Not Obtain Ip Address On Wired Connection

Feb 13, 2010

Running kubuntu karmic, kernel 2.6.31-19, on Asus EEE PC 1000.

WICD 1.7.0. hangs on "wired connection: obtaining ip address...". I have downgraded to 1.6.2 and 1.5.9, but this did not solve the issue.

WICD does work under other circumstances, e.g. wireless connection. (But at home I don't have wireless, but just the modem and ethernet.)

Same wired connection ethernet connection works flawlessly on laptop running Windows XP SP2.

Ubuntu Networking :: Automatically Obtain A New IP?

Jan 26, 2010

I have an Ubuntu server running behind a router and I generally manage it from a remote location. I ran into a problem today when I changed the subdomain that the router is on and in turn changed all of the ip addresses for everything on the local network. After restarting the router, I can no longer access the Ubuntu server.

I made sure that I changed the port forwarding settings to reflect the changes in ip addresses. Also the router does not even show the Ubuntu server as having an ip address issued to it. So from that I guess that the server never requested for a new ip after the router restarted. I think I've had this problem before and I ended up restarting the entire server manually. I know that if I restart it, everything should be back to normal. That's what I'll have to end up doing, but I wanted to avoid having this problem in the future, so I was wondering if there is any way to set up the server so that it requests for a new ip address automatically.

Ubuntu Networking :: Cannot Obtain DHCP Lease ?

Feb 7, 2010

I have a home WiFi network that has been working fine for ages, which currently supports two Windows-based laptops and a WM5 smartphone. They all connect to the WiFi router (Linksys WRT54G) which in turn connects to the ADSL modem (Huawei MT882). The router is configured with a WEP key, the SSID is not being broadcast, and all MAC addresses must be whitelisted. I try to follow good wireless network security practice. I also have NAT running between the router and the modem.

Everything is working fine for the Windows clients, and now I am trying to add my Linux box to the mix. I am setting up an older HP Pavilion 510a desktop with Ubuntu v8.04LTS, using a Realtek RTL8185 WLAN card. The machine has an onboard RTL8139 LAN adaptor also, which works fine when I plug it in directly to an ethernet port on the wireless router. The WLAN, however, does not seem to be getting a DHCP packet, and keeps on autoconfiguring with a 169.254.x.x address. When I try giving it a static IP address it doesn't connect either.

As you can see from the screenshots below, the WLAN is working fine. I have it installed using the ndiswrapper and Windows drivers. I've been through the Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide but that did not resolve my problem.

I configured the network myself, and it works perfectly for my Windows machines. It is just my lack of experience with Linux which is preventing me from getting the wireless to work under Linux. I can get a HDCP packet in Linux when I am connected to the LAN using the RTL8139 adaptor, but not on the WLAN using the RTL8185 adaptor.

Networking :: Can't Obtain IP From Wifi Router Using DHCP?

Sep 29, 2010

I installed PCLOS 2010.07 into my laptop and dual booting with windows vista. Now I got a weird problem that is when I connected linux to my wifi router, it cannot obtain IP! (it still work correctly in windows, problem just with linux) I had to manually set ip and that worked. Now i wonder what is happening, because I didn't see this problem with PCLOS 2009 borrowed from my friend few months ago.

Ubuntu Networking :: Cannot Obtain IP Address On Wired Connection

I am having a persistent problem with getting a wired network connection under a recent install of Ubuntu 9.10. The network manager will show the wired network as 'disconnected' after a restart. This is true whether I am connected directly to my ISP's modem, or through the Linksys router that I usually use.The output of ifconfig suggests that eth0 is not being assigned an IP address:Code:I have reached the limits of my own ingenuity.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Connection Cannot Obtain IP With DHCP

Feb 16, 2010

I have router and wireless card Linksys. Driver are installed correctly for wireless card.

Using WifiRadar I can see the access point is detected.

DHCP woks perfectly for wired lan.

However when I try to connect to the detected access point the ip addres is never retrieved and the connection never established.

I tried most of he basic instructions posted on ubuntu forums, but the problem doesn't seem to be with basic configuration: driver, essid, wep key, etc..

The problem seems to be with DHCP not able to retrieve an IP address from the DHCP server of the router. Of course the router works file with other laptops (windows based) that have wireless card.

I also tried the Network Connections setup part of ubuntu. That one shows the access point by its essid name in the list of wireless network, but when I try to connect it takes sometime and eventually asks for the wep key, which I provide and then it times out and keep asking it. The same wep key works for other pcs.
Can't figure it out. I am using ubuntu 9.10.

Some more details are the following:

1) Here the output from the log file: /var/log/wifi-radar.log

Of course it is set ... and dhcp client works for wired lan anyway.

2) diego@mysuperlaptop:/var/run$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [sudo] password for diego:

I tried everything I could think about in the UI windows setting (WifiRadar and Wireless Network Connections) a well in the config files from the shell. I just don't get what the deal is. I am pretty sure it is a DHCP issue but can't figure out what.

Since then I managed to associate the device with Broadcom's STA driver, which I had been using before. But now, the wireless device cannot connect to the internet anymore.

Ubuntu Networking :: Obtain Write Access To A Windows Machine?

Apr 26, 2010

For some time now, I have been backing up a windows box (data files only) to a ubuntu machine using the following:

mount -t cifs -o user=xxx,password=xxx //windowsshare/ /mnt/

For the first time I needed to restore some files and found I did not have the correct rights to write to the windows machine.

I had already wasted a whole day trying to map the ubuntu machine from windows and failed so this is not an option.

I have tried adding write rights to several accounts on the windows machine, also tried adding write rights to "everyone", checked both the share permissions, as well as the folder permissions.

I read about chmod, and tried to use the command gksudo to do something but this fails with DISPLAY error. Tried several things to fix this which didn't work and I was just going off on a tangent.

In the end I used a CD ROM to copy the files from one machine to another.

So for next time I need to restore a file, how can I give myself rights to do so?

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Obtain Gigabit Speed With Nvidia MCP79

Jul 27, 2011

I just bought a new router with gigabit ethernet.

However, my HTPC running Ubuntu 10.04 (32 bit) with a Zotac ION mainboard can't obtain gigabit speed. I have tested the cables by connecting my laptop and it gets gigabit speed. I also have a desktop computer that obtains gigabit speed in my network, this one with another Nvidia chipset and Linux Mint 11.

I have tried to boot the HTPC with Linux Mint 11 LiveCD, but it fails to get gigabit as well. I have also tried

Code:
sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000

but it does not succeed in chaingin the speed.

Is there anything I can do to get gigabit speed? I have all my files on the HTPC, so network speed is important!

Here's some info that might be useful:

Code:
christian@htpc:~$ dmesg | grep eth
[ 1.243230] forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.64.
[ 1.244597] forcedeth 0000:00:0a.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LMAC] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21

Ubuntu Networking :: Cannot Obtain IP Address / Disabling Network Manager In Preferences

Mar 13, 2010

The IP address acquisition problem I reported earlier has returned, and I am stymied. To recap: Ubuntu 9.10 would not obtain an IP address via a wired Ethernet connection. I resolved the problem at the time by configuring eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

and disabling Network Manager in Preferences > Startup Applications.After a powering down the PC today, the problem has returned. It appears that dhclient cannot obtain an IP address. This is true whether I am connected to the router (a Linksys WRT54G running Tomato), or directly to the DSL modem. When my usually wireless Ubuntu 9.10 laptop is wired to the router, it obtains an address almost instantly. I have made no changes to the network configuration since January. I have tried to keep current on Ubuntu updates.

Code:

jgb@alienware:~$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:1b:ac:5b:9e
inet6 addr: fe80::230:1bff:feac:5b9e/64 Scope:Link

Ubuntu Networking :: WLAN Card Stopped Working - Cannot Obtain IP Address

Sep 9, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T61 using an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. My laptop's ability to connect to a wireless network stopped last night, and I'm not sure why. It's definitely something on my end, as my roommate can connect to the internet on a Windows box. I can wire in without a problem, but that's a pain and my Ethernet cable got lost in the shuffle when I moved back to school. I've been able to get into this network before and nothing about it has changed. I've been able to hibernate and restart and such and nothing has ever needed to be reset.

The router's a D-Link WBR-2310. Wicd and Network Manager see the network (I'm back to using wicd) , but wicd appears to get stuck at "Obtaining IP address..." and says "Unable to connect: Cannot obtain IP address". I know my password is correct (I set up the router and I'm the CS undergrad in the apartment so I manage it), lspci sees the wireless card, ifconfig and iwconfig return information about the interface, dmesg|grep wlan0 doesn't seem to have anything terribly out of the ordinary, but here's that output:

Code:
allyanncah@taliesin:~% dmesg | grep wlan0
[ 23.514202] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[ 36.609016] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

[ 38.763322] wlan0: associated
[ 38.765502] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready .....

I've tried:
- reinstalling wicd
- uninstalling wicd and installing network-manager
- restarting
- shutting down and booting back up
- restarting the router
- sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
- taking the interface down and back up with ifconfig

I haven't changed anything recently in regards to my wireless card, and all the fixes I've tried are things I've done before without an issue. The only thing I'm wondering about is if doing a hard reset might have broken something (I know this is a cardinal sin, but there's a whole 'nother problem I haven't been able to fix with the OS hanging every once in a while over a VPN daemon when it tries to shut down or restart -- I've left it for hours to see if it actually gets anywhere and no luck, won't do a soft reset). I'm nervous about reinstalling the driver just because I've never had to do it and drivers are a finicky business. I imagine there's a config error somewhere?

Networking :: Wicd Has Connecting To New AP's After Sleeping?

Jul 6, 2011

I was using wicd on a spotty network, the house blocked a lot of the signal from moving around, so wicd was having major issues with that AP. Later I was trying to connect to another AP but wicd couldn't connect plus it was saying the spotty network's name was the one it was connecting to. Although I didn't try before I left/gave up I'm sure a restart of the wicd daemon would have solved it.

But why is this even the case? is there something I could add to the scripts that would clear this issue up? (I also submitted a bug on wicd's launchpad project but haven't gotten any response... I hope this isn't a 'feature')

I uninstalled the Network Manager and used the installation instructions for wicd (URL...). While connected to the internet with a wired connection, in my Synaptic Package Manager I entered the new address deb URL... hardy extras. Then I opened a terminal and entered.It looks like an argument is needed, but I have no idea how to add that to the command. I've found the key file (I think) here URL...but I don't know what to do next.

Ubuntu Networking :: How To Completely Remove Wicd

Oct 21, 2010

Before I changed the faulty wifi card I installed Wicd. Incidentally it didn't remove Network Manager, a bug that's reported in Launchpad. With the new wifi working well enough with Network Manager, I used Synaptic to remove Wicid, or so I thought.I happen to be checking .xsession-errors and there's an error reported about wicid tray desktop. I removed it and no more errors appear.

After looking for advice here and on the web I used apt-get remove and purge yet a file search of wicd still finds 25 entries, in /etc/, /usr/ and /var/.Some are archives and some are logs but some aren't, why are they still there and can I clean things up?
