Networking :: Wicd Gets Stuck On "obtaining IP"?

Mar 31, 2011

It is a WEP connection. I am able to connect fine from the terminal (iwconfig/dhclient), but when i try to connect using wicd it hangs on "obtaining IP" until finally giving up.

Also, i noticed if i disconnect after already connecting via command line, Wicd will then connect properly.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wicd 1.5.9 Not Obtaining IP Address / Sort It?

May 5, 2010

I had no luck with network manager and i was surfing the net and it said wicd was better so i installed that and installed 1.6.1 But it was not obtaining an ip address

So i searched again and ppl said that its a problem with 1.6.1 and they said 1.5.9 was better. So i installed wicd 1.5.9 and its still not obtaining an ip address.

The router is unencrypted no security, ppl suggested trying to set a security on it so i tried WEP and when i do that it gets stuck on trying to authenticate the key phrase.code...

OpenSUSE Network :: Wireless - Got Stuck On The Obtaining IP Address Part

Jan 7, 2010

I just installed openSUSE dual-boot with windows. Wireless works fine on windows. Only ethernet works on openSUSE. At first, it couldn't even find my wireless network. With my friend's help we experimented and tried everything to find the driver for my broadcam4312 driver.

Later, my friend some update from the official openSUSE peeps... Then, the wireless could my network. I entered in my password and then hoped for the best but then it got stuck on the Obtaining IP Adress part. I know I got the rite password.

Ubuntu Networking :: Obtaining IP Location From Logs?

Nov 5, 2010

I've signed up with a hosting company and have access to logs of visits to my website. How can I process these logs to obtain the geographic location of visitors from their IP number? If there's a way of bash scripting this, it would be ideal, or a dedicated softare that could read in the log file and output the location for each visit

Networking :: Obtaining DHCP IP Addresses In 2 Distro's ?

Nov 22, 2008

A quick rundown of my equipment and plan for this particular machine.

SOYO P4I845PEISA Motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 2.0GHz Processor
512MB DDR333 RAM
ATI Radeon 8500 128mb AGP Video Card
Using onboard AC'97 Audio and Davicom NIC
Linksys BEFSR81 Wired Router

I am setting up a multiboot system with several OS's, multiple versions of Windows & several Linux distros. The main point of it all is just to have a system where I can load up a given version of Windows or Distro of Linux if I need to test something or show someone how something works.

The Problem:
5 versions of Windows installed, all hardware configured and functioning properly (including NIC) All Windows versions obtain DHCP IP addy with no problems.

Installed Red Hat Linux 9 (first of my linux distros) and it autoconfigured all of my hardware and has no problem getting an IP address.

Installed Fedora 8 and it could not obtain an IP address. I fiddled around with the network settings changing this and that, covered all of the options, and it had no effect. By this time I was irritated, so I just formatted and reinstalled the whole thing, which had no effect and resulted in the same problem. I decided to try it again, this time turning off my sound card and nic for the initial installation. After the initial install, I turned on the sound card and booted up to install it, then restarted, turning on the nic to install it. Fedora installed them both, and managed to get an IP address from my router.

I looked at the ifcfg-eth0 file and the only thing that was different from the previous installs was that a line reading "type=ethernet" (I believe thats what it said) was not there in the working install and had been before.

Puzzling and irritating, but Fedora was now working so I moved to the next distro on my list.

openSUSE 11.0
First install I tried the same thing I did with Fedora (turning off the NIC which did not work like it did in Fedora)
Second install, left all of my hardware enabled, and made it to the part where it asks to verify your internet connection. I clicked Test, and got this error:

Opening of Connection
eth0 device: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip Compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 40) DHCP Client is already running on eth0

I finished the install, and then got on another machine and I searched the net for this error, but could find nothing that specifically applied to my problem. I played around with the network settings, tried a couple of things that I had come across in my search (changed between tulip and dmfe, checked the box for "Request Broadcast Response", ran "service network restart" in Terminal) none of these had any effect.

The most irritating thing about this is that RHL9 had no problem with this whatsoever and it is badly dated, and the much newer distros are choking on it.

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')

Ubuntu Networking :: WICD No Longer Works?

Jan 8, 2010

I just updated my system to a new kernel with the update manager and now my WICD no longer obtains an IP address. Everytime I try it says "Connection Failed: Unable to get IP address".It was working fine before and even when I reboot into an older kernel it still doesn't work.I'm using a Belking Wireless G adapter.I would have tried downloading another network manager but since I can't even access the internet I'm stuck with changing current settings and nothing seems to work.

Ubuntu Networking :: Updated - No More Internet - Wicd Won't Run

Mar 25, 2010

Well it seems like every 5 min the update manager is barging in telling me to update so I did last night and then this morning I turn on my computer and a window pops up that says "wicd needs your password" or something to that effect so I put it in. Then I notice wicd is not running. So I click on it in the menu and it pops up in awn for a second then disappears. As I have said before I am fairly new to linux so Im having trouble figuring this out. I don't know any commands i should run or where to start even. My computer is not much use to me without the internet so I would really like to get this fixed.

Ubuntu Networking :: Installing Wicd Without Internet

Jul 5, 2010

I have a Dell Mini with Unbuntu Hardy 8.04 with a Broadcom STA wireless card BCM4312 802.11b/g. In April the Network Manager stopped working.After trying various fixes, based on advice and instructions posted for others who had the same issue, today I decided to completely uninstall the Network Manager and install wicd- which seems like a working alternative. 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?

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Connect To Wireless Using Wicd?

Jun 25, 2011

I am running Natty on a Lenovo T410. I can connect to wireless with no problem using the panel applet but not using wicd. syslog shows it trying to get a DHCP address and finally timing out with no lease offers. I think a big clue is that if I monitor wlan0 using wireshark I get no traffic at all when it tries to connect, whereas with the applet I see the dhcp traffic. It seems as though wicd is connecting to the wrong wlan0. Running "dhclient wlan0" directly gives the same behavior as wicd. I need to use wicd because I typically run enlightenment so can't use the ubuntu applet.

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.

Networking :: Wicd Will Not Connect To Particular Wireless Internet

Dec 25, 2010

I'm at a family member's house for the holiday and was trying to use their wifi. Its a WEP connection (I tried to tell them to change but they won't listen). In the wicd connection manager, I see their network, set the encryption to WEP (passphrase), enter the password, and hit connect. It says bringing up the card, checking authentication, then gets to Acquiring IP address, sits there for a minute, then times out saying unable to connect.

I know I used the right password because it passed the Authenticating part (tested with a wrong password that hangs at this point). I know that my wifi card works because I used a store's unsecured wifi connection through wicd. I know the wifi network works because my brother's windows netbook can get on just fine. I'm running through the same router right now with a wire instead. Why I can't connect wirelessly?

I'm using Slackware 64 on a HP dv2500 SE. I've been using wicd for my network connection. I have a Linksys wireless router. Recently I changed my ESSID to from the default linksys to something else. Now wicd, doesn't see my router as the new name. It still sees the linksys router but obviously can't connect to it. I have connected using the "find hidden network". Mostly i have to run iwconfig eth1 essid "newname"then dhcpcd eth1my question, how can i get wicd to see the newname and connect on it's own as it used to.

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 :: Can't Connect To Wicd's D-bus Interface / Make It Possible?

Mar 12, 2010

I've installed ubuntu 9.10 using a minimal install and started from there installing the rest of the things I needed.
I'm running KDE4.4 and Wicd 1.6.1.

Problem is, wicd worked fine, but I don't know what happened before I got this annoying problem.

After logging into KDE, wicd asks me for my password in order to connect to the network-device. After filling that in, I get the message code...

As you can see in the logging, internet is working fine. I manually have to start wicd-client and I get an extra wicd-icon in the taskbar showing me the signal strength as it should do.

I've been searching a lot, but can't find anything about this, except a lot of people having the same errormessage, but they have some errors in the wicd.log too.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wicd Won't Connect After Suspend / Resume?

Apr 10, 2010

i just installed ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix on my acer aspireone ao532h netbook, and so far, it's been working beautifully. much better than the windows 7 starter edition that came with the machine. the only problem i've experienced so far had to do with the wireless connection. initially, the connection would drop during certain types of activities (e.g. downloading updates or programs, or even streaming videos videos) and the network manager would freeze so completely that i'd have to hard reboot. that seems to have been fixed by installing wicd (following a suggestion here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1135723&page=2), meaning that it hasn't disconnected in the several hours since i've been using it. however, wicd has a different problem: it disconnects after a suspend / resume cycle. this requires a reboot to fix also, as not only does it disconnect, but it looses awareness of the network altogether. obviously, this could be a real headache on a netbook that gets closed and opened frequently.

Ubuntu Networking :: WICD Will Not Connect Without Network-manager?

Jul 23, 2010

I'm trying to use wicd instead of network manager because I want a "no fuss" way to use wireless on wmii. However, wicd will not find any networks unless network-manager has been run and has connected to a network since startup. If it hasn't connected to a wireless network, the wicd will find no networks, and iwlist won't provide a list of networks either.

This seems to mean that network-manager is doing something to the interface when it connects that needs to be done to make it usable, but I'm not sure what it is or how exactly to find out. I do know that the interface (eth2) will not appear in ifconfig if network manager hasn't connected, which I assume means that it hasn't been brought up. ifconfig eth2 up makes it show up, but I still can't connect with wicd. What can I do?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, generic 2.6.32-22 kernel, MacBook 5,5 using the Broadcom STA driver. (more details below)

Code:
*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller
