Networking :: Setting Up - Install Linksys WUSB 100 On Ubuntu 8.04
Jan 25, 2010
I have recently purchased a Linksys WUSB100 for my Linux OS(8.04) and need assistance in setting it up. I am new to linux and would appreciate a step-by-step instruction on getting in working and need any neccessary drivers i may need. I appreciate any help i can receive as it will be a big plus. I really like using linux but just would like my wireless usb adapter to work.

Okay, a few days ago I got a small job setting up a router for a neighbour of mine. He wanted me to set up a wireless network for him. The router he bought is a Linksys Wireless N-Router E1000. I set it up the passwords and everything. Only to find out that I couldn't connect at all to it. The main computer with a direct ethernet connection to the router was the only one that had internet. Everytime I attempt to connect wirelessly with any device, it will take extremely long time to connect, to the point where I will just quit connecting.(Example: 15 minutes of waiting, when the laptop is right next to the router)
Any ideas about what I am doing wrong here? As far as I can think of it might just be a faulty router, because the router will not implement any changes(like setting a password) I set on it. Only wired connections seem to work. the router is called a linksys wirless N-router E1000.
I have a Linksys WAG54G2 Router - this is set up and was working fine with Xp and my Apple I phone.I have just changed over from XP to Ubuntu, and am having difficulty in configuring wireless settings to accept UBUNTU.The hard wired Ethernet connection works fine.
I just installed Fedora again, after a long absence. I have been using XP. I am having issues setting up my wireless card Linksys WMP54G. For some reason the card has been recognized, and the interface is there. But I have tried every walk-trough known to Google, and it still won't work. I have been using the GUI tools, but they don't work. I have also been using the command line walk through, and they aren't working either. Does anyone know which files I need to set and what the process would be?
I recently purchased the Linksys WMP45G wireless card for my desktop (as my router is too far for ethernet cable). I can't get it to work. The NetworkManager icon doesn't appear in the upper-right corner, despite being up-and-running. Here is some output:
[root@cwatson ~]$ uname -a Linux cwatson.homeunix.net 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Wed Aug 11 08:19:38 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@cwatson ~]$ yum list installed "Network*"
I bought myself a Sitecom Wireless Network USB Micro Adapter 300N X3 (Sitecom WL-364) today. When I place the adapter in my PC, it is not recognised as a wireless adapter.
There are similar posts like this one, most of them are about conflicting drivers. According to this post I shouldn't be worried about that (as I'm working in 11.04 32-bit).
The output of lsusb is this:
Code: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0df6:0051 Sitecom Europe B.V.
Also, I was having a hard time getting to know the chipset of the adapter. Is RT2870 the right driver for the adapter?
Coming from a regular syslinux prompt is there any way to set the node's hostname? Basically I'm trying to start an install and the syslog= parameter needs to have the hostname set. It doesn't look like it's getting set by DHCP.
I'm trying to connect to a friend's Linksys WAG160N router using Ubuntu 10.10, but it's just refusing to connect. I can connect to other wireless networks fine - it seems to just be this router. The wireless indicator applet thing shows that I'm trying to connect, but the password box always just pops up again and again. I'm certain I've got the password correct and am able to connect under OSX on the same computer. Connecting to it via ethernet also works fine.
i'm very new at this and tried to install Linksys WUSB600N v2what i would like to know how uninstall any drivers/ software i may have already put on the os. how can i verifry that the device is functional after installing drivers.
I have loaded ubuntu 9.10, and am not getting internet from my router using a linksys EG1032. I have found articles stating that i should use the sk (URL...) or nge URL...)drivers. According to the instructions i found, they require that i make changes to my kernel config. I do not know how to do that, or if doing so is wise.If someone would help me figure out how to connect this NIC card.
My first Ubuntu/Mythbuntu install. Installed OS, plugged in linksys wireless G adapter. It finds the network but cannot connect. Discovered wireless priviledges while setting up admin/user accounts. Should be ready to go. or not, I'm thinking it needs a driver but
1) in linux? certainly not in Fedora.
2) If it can see the network it doesn't need a driver,
My settings are wrong or I'm missing something. SSID is set in settings. Do I need mac address and BSSID?
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my formerly XP system, and I'm trying to get my wireless network working. I have a Linksys WUSB11 v2.6 wireless adapter connected by USB to the system.
The system networking icon reports "No wired networks".
I'm not sure whether or not the system sees the USB ports... If so, it apparently doesn't recognize the adapter.
I saw a few posts that indicated that this adapter didn't work on 10.04 but it had worked on 9.04.
I'm looking for any info to get this working, including any or all of the following:
* How to determine if the system sees the USB ports (or is it "obvious" that it does)
* Should the wireless adapter work just by plugging it in?
* How to troubleshoot the networking adapter to get it working
* (If downgrading to 9.04 is likely to solve the problem) how to downgrade to 9.04 from 10.04...
Previously I had my desktop hooked up to a nearby router via an ethernet cord with my parents' computer having a wireless usb adapter to connect (This thing: [uRL]). We just moved and our setup has reversed (router is near their computer, I am using the usb adapter). I just installed the latest Ubuntu and now I can't get the usb adapter to work. I'm very new to Linux and I have no idea what to do. I think this is the same usb adapter.
I just bought Linksys WAG160N ADSL 2+ Router and modem device. It came with an setup installation CD which is not running on ubuntu. In the manual it is written that it will run only under windows and Mac OS. I have only Ubuntu on my laptop.
I need to run the setup CD to go ahead. I searched more than three hours to find out how to run this CD so that I can complete the setup of my new modem-router but did not find any solution.
My old ubuntu laptop beeps 3 time on startup and then freezes. This forced me to install 10.04 on a new laptop. Now I can't get the linksys wpc54gs ver 2 to get connect. I can see the router with a padlock by it. I pretty sure I have the correct password in the right spot. I can access the internet with the wire connection. I'm sure it something simple I forgot from before when the card was working in the old laptop.
I think lightning may have killed it. It was working fine. Now I cant get it recognized no matter what I do. It also quit working in Win XP where I never had a problem with it because it had its own connection software.

I have a linksys wireless-b wmp11 network card. Can anyone tell me how to get this up and running? Maverick is up to date as of yesterday and I have the cd that came with the card. I have no way to access the internet on the machine. I am typing this from my laptop.
Here is the situation: I am currently running Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. I'm trying to get my Linksys AE1000 to run correctly. I have followed many tutorials but most notably was:[URL].. lsmod shows that rt3572sta is loaded. network manager in gnome is able to find my router. my problem occurs when it tries to connect to the router using wpa2 security. It continually asks for the wireless password then will freeze the system after a number of attempts. After digging in for a bit, I was able to dig out a dmesg trapping the error:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffcfb0138af1ec IP: [<ffffffffa021c7e8>] Cntl0idRTBssidProc+0x78/0x570 [rt3572sta] PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map CPU 2
I really don't see the need to continue on with those error messages lsmod still shows rt3572sta after the failure. In case anyone wants to see the changes I have made to the files before the make, I have included them. but changed the extension to "txt" to accommodate the up-loader and my rt_linux is too big to fit here, just not that it was 2 lines that were changed to work with the kernel. If anyone wants to know what I mean by the system freezes, I do mean just that. The mouse will continue to work, but I am then unable to open any programs, unable to reboot the computer. it requires a hard reset.
I have uninstalled the drivers, installed them, make them, make install them, make clean, start from scratch a few times, and am getting no give here.
I am dual booting XP and Ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a Dell Latitude E6410 and I have a Linksys WRT120N router connected to my Modem.
So the weird thing is, under XP I can use the internet while connected to my router. Under Ubuntu I can't use the internet while connected to my router. But I can use the internet in Ubuntu if I connect to my neighbor's router called "linksys". So something happens when I connect to my router that makes Ubuntu not able to access the internet. But if I'm connected to my Neighbors router or if I use XP while connected to my router I can use the internet.
I have been using Ubuntu for about a year, so I'm getting better but still a noob. I've tried to figure out what's going on by looking at other forums and posts and trying to see if anyone has solved this. So far I've had no luck. This is also the first of many problem I have encountered that I have been unable to solve using online posts, and is the first problem that I have had to resorted to creating a post to try and fix.
I connect to multiple wireless system each day but when I encounter a Linksys-n router the computer will recognize it and connect but does not go online.
Does this give any clue for why it will not connect?
Code: 802.11a/b/g System wireless is: Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094 with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g), Ubuntu 10.04
i cant connect to my wireless network... im using karmic. Ive searched and found quite a lot of threads but arent sure where to start. I have a Linksys wusb600n, and are trying to connect to my network. It detects the network fine but doesnt connect.
I couldn't find any details on how to do this on Ubuntu, so I figured I'd share for anybody who needs to do that. I got this adapter from a garage sale, it's meant for use with vonage service, it has a web interface with disabled voice tab, and a hidden voice admin page. My goal was to access (unlock) those pages, so that I can use it with one of the free sip providers.
The main thread on how to do this is over at bargainshare forums, the only thing I'm adding here is how to do it on Ubuntu as opposed to windows:[URL]... I will write the simplist path using typical defaults, if your setup deviates or if one of the steps below fails, please refer to the original guide at this link to sort things out. Important note: the pc used in the procedure shouldn't be connected to the internet. Internet access is only needed to get files, programs and instructions, either before using the pc for this procedure, or through a separate pc.
Adapter setup:Do NOT connect the adapter to the internet especially if it has been out of service for a while. Connect an ethernet cable to one of the lan ports on the adapter and in a browser go to 192.168.15.1, this is the default lan gateway address. When prompted to log in use admin/admin again that's the default First thing needed is to flash a special unlocking firmware that allows the adapter to acquire clear text configuration file (as opposed to the encrypted vonage one). After downloading the unlocking firmware from guide above, go to the Administration page then the tab for flashing firmware. Select the firmware file you just saved and let it flash, you'll be prompted to log in, I used user/7756112 , more can be found in the guide, if successful, you'll get a message to that effect. Now firmware version should be 1.7.02 and voice 2.09 LId Next we need to get the adapter to get our configuration file, create one as mentioned in the guide above, meister_sd method, put the file in a folder of your choice, we'll need to use that as our tftp root folder later Now we configure the adapter to talk to the pc, under the setup page of the adapter set "Internet Connection Type" to Static IP and assign the adapter a static IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.88, then set the default gateway and DNS1 to a static IP address that you'll later assign to your PC, make sure it's on the same subnet as the IP address you assigned to the adapter, e.g. 192.168.1.99, save the changes Switch the ethernet cable to the wan port of the adapter, so it's connected directly to the pc, no crossover cable needed in my experience, turn off the adapter until we setup the pc
PC setup:First we need dnsmasq package from synaptic. This package can provide dns, dhcp, read only tftp daemons, outstanding piece of software. during the installation, it will automatically start with it's default settings. we'll shut it down so that we can start it with different command line options:
Code: sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop Now we configure the pc to act as a gateway and dns server temporarily, System->Preferences->Network connections , then edit the ethernet interface we're using to connect to the adapter, under IPv4 settings, set the method to manual, then add an address entry with the IP address used on the adapter for dns and gateway, ie 192.168.1.99 and gateway and dns as 127.0.0.1 Now we need to start the dns and tftp daemons:
I really need to get a linksys wpc54g version 4 pcmcia card to work....i have never really had a lot of problems with wireless and thit is a friends laptop that he wanted ubuntu on......if i cant get it to work he will go back to windows and i would not like that to happen lol....here is the output of dmesg and ifconfig lspci and lspcmcia..
