OpenSUSE Wireless :: Range Of Less Than 3 Feet?
Dec 31, 2009
I thought I would drop a few findings relating to a strange problem I don't have the answer to.
I have installed both Ubuntu and now OpenSuse (alongside Windows XP) on a thinkpad T40. I own a linksys WRT54G2 wireless router.
Windows XP runs fine, and connection to the wireless network is fine everywhere in the house.
however the first time on Ubuntu and now on Opensuse 11.2, the laptop needs to be within 3 feet of the router in order to connect to the wireless network!
Strange thing is that the laptop can see the network from anywhere in the house (with a signal strength carying between 60 and 90%) - however impossible to connect.
Suse is running the ath5k driver for the internal network card.

Im having trouble with my hp mini 110, i read abit of information about it on the site and installed a package that gets my wifi working, problem being is that as soon as I go upstairs i lose connection, its not really upstairs if I move more than 5 feet away from my router no internet although the laptop reads full signal.
I believe its a problem with the broadcom drivers, is there anyway to resolve this or do I have to go back to Windows 7 because I really dont wanna do that.

My only unhappiness with 11.04, after I installed in on 4/28 on my Eee PC 1000H (dual booting with Windows XP), is that the range of wireless reception in my house, from exactly the same spot as before, has worsened considerably. No problem when running Windows (which I'd rather not do, of course). Could the upgrade have installed a new driver for the wireless hardware that isn't as good as the previous one?

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday and installed using Wubi. I have downloaded ndiswrapper and ndisgtk and installed the drivers for my wireless adapter. My last question is how to make Ubuntu actually search for a wireless network in range like Windows does. So far, I like Ubuntu but want to connect to the 'net.

I want to plot a set of data in only one plot.The problem is that some points of the data should be better plotted in a linear scale (lets say 0 to 100,000) but there are other data points that, exceding the value 100,000, would be better plotted in a logarithmic scale, as they goes in the range 100,000 to 500,000,000. Let's say the data is:
Code:
X Y
0 100
10000 80
20000 75
[code]....
Is there a way to plot all these points in the same plot in only one X-axis showing two different ranges in that axis: linear: 0-100,000 logarithmic: 100,000 - 1,000,000,000?The axis would be read, for example, as:
Code:
|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
0 20k 40k 60k 80k 100k 1M 10M 100M 1G
(The abbreviations k-M-G are not the important point. Just shown for clarity)

I want to build a bash script, which can ping a range IP adresses which will be filled in by the admin. If there is no IP-adress filled in, then the script must ping the subnet where the system is logged on. So if my ip is 192.168.1.6, then the script must ping from 192.168.1.1 till 192.168.1.255 Or else, if there is given a beginning and ending ip it must ping that!
The first part of the bash script is to ping a given range (see below). But there is one problem, how can I tell the script to ping from $begin till $end, [..] is of course wrong! But what must be filled in there???
echo "Enter beginning IP-adres:"
read begin
echo "Enter ending IP-adres:"
read end
ping -c 1 $begin [..] $end
The second part is to find my own ip and ping the whole range.. How to do that? I only can find my own IP, but I cant ping the whole range,, how to do that?
#!/bin/bash
ifconfig | grep 'inet addr:' | grep -v '127.0.0.1' |
cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1 }'

Problem is the very low quality of wifi (works only in 2meter range)
I have ra3090 hardware.
Code:
I've compiled and installed the official driver from ralink with wpa2 support, installed it, blacklisted rt2800sta
Now 2860 loads signal quality was 33/70 (with rt2800) now it's 99/100 but keep showing the password dialog after each attempt to connect (means it doesn't connect) password is WPA2, and can not be changed to WEP or something.

After spending several months coming up with ideas (and ultimately failing), I have found the easiest and simplest way to connect your Ubuntu desktop (or laptop w/o a wireless adapter/card) to the Internet using only a Linksys Wireless Range Expander and an Ethernet cord.
YOU WILL NEED:
Linksys Wireless Range Expander (WRE54G)
Ethernet cable
Linksys wireless router (that is providing your home/office with wireless Internet) The WRE54G can be purchased online through various websites, including eBay. They run anywhere between $10 and $40, but it's going to be cheaper than a USB Wireless Adapter (and no software needs to be installed, making it universal for most Linux distros).

I am trying to add a custom allow rule in the firewall for a range of IPs from 74.201.102.0 - 74.201.103.255, what exactly am I supposed to enter in the source box? I believe I have to add two separate rules for 102 and 103, and I put /24 at the end of both, is this correct to get the whole range of IPs?

My computer is running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64). I have set up an apache server there. The version is Apache/2.2.10 (Linux/SUSE) PHP/5.2.14 with Suhosin-Patch mod_python/3.3.1 Python/. It works well. I can reach the server and visit the webpages from other computers. The problem is every computer can visit it. I just want to some people can reach my server by specifying the IP address, or computer name, or whatever else.

i have two questions and thought that anyone here could have the answers.first things first,i want to make firewall accept a range of ports (say 8000:9000) because im using mpd process manager to make some parallel processing, does anyone know the command that satisfy this?
the second thing is, when i open a range of ports like that, it would put my system at risk if some bad guys somehow identifies this range, is there is anything that solves that matter(i.e. makes the firewall monitor the packet, if its an mpd accept if not drop)

[For those of you who helped me before hand, sax2 wasn't good enough, so I went with the one-click, aaaaand]
Version: 11.2 "Emerald" with KDE
Card: Nvidia FX 5200
Problem: After installing one-click (5xxx legacy drivers), I ran the nvidia-config command and rebooted. Upon reboot, I get a splash screen and then nothing but a monitor error - "Signal out of Range" [Note: After googling this problem, I found a similar thread with an ATI, but since the difference between nvidia and ati is the same as perfect

How can I add a network card to Network Manager? I have installed a new usb dongle and iwconfig shows it, ifconfig -a shows it and iwlist shows my SSID. Network manager just does not list it. A side note: It is weird if I use my old bulky Zonet (rt2870sta) on reboot it is wlan0 but if I plug in my new Edimax (rt3070sta) it will not show up unless I reboot with it and only it plugged in. Then I can plug in my Zonet again and they show up as ra0 and ra1.

I have a Acer Revo R3610 nettop on which I installed oS11.3. It has an Atheros AR5001 wireless network adaptor.I'm getting very bad latency and throughput on with this card. In comparison my Thinkpad with Intel card achieves at least 10 times the throughput from the same location. Also when I boot my wifi will come up authenticate and then a few seconds later disconnect and reconnect. I've tried updating the kernel to 2.6.35 as one of the fixes was to improve the performance of the ath5k driver. I'm using wpa2 authentication.
Here are some details:
Code:
mediacentre:~ # /sbin/lspci -nnk
00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: nVidia Corporation MCP79 Host Bridge [10de:0a82] (rev b1)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:0222]
[code]....
Is there anything else I paste that will help determine the cause of the bad throughput. Browsing the web or copying files across the network is bordering unusable.

I had the Wireless Broadband working. It stopped working after I closed the laptop (suspend). Also the wifi will not connect until reboot. Now the entry for the Wireless Broadband is gone, and the tab for it is greyed out as well.I would be happy to submit this as a bug and assist with the debugging process.

I got ubuntu working fine on my netbook and wanted to play around with opensuse. I have it installed and everything works fine except my wireless connection. I have updated everything since the installation through a wired connection, that didn't help. I have read the stickies, but to be honest, I'm so new to this stuff I'm kinda lost. So my wireless network has a WEP encryption and I have entered that password as a 64 HEX Key in the Wireless Manager widget. It connects to the network and says is labeled as active, however there is still the yellow exclamation shield next to the connection. Firefox and other apps don't have access to the internet.

On Opensuse 11.2, I would like to connect my ipod touch to a wireless ad-hoc network of my laptop. I have no wireless WIFI-router at home, so I have to use the laptop as a router to the internet. I know I have to enter a static IP adres and my router's address, but where ? I haven't found any place under network tools to do this, only saw some fields with SSID's and MAC addresses to fill in.

I've got openSUSE 11.3 running via liveUSB on a netbook and no matter how many times I try, I cannot get wireless to connect to my network.
My network is:
- non-broadcast
- WPA2 Personal
- G
The netbook is fairly recent from Asus and wireless works perfectly with Fedora 11 and Windows XP.

i'm running 11.3 kde 4.4, with a Broadcom 4318. since installing 11.3 a few days ago, whenever i'm connected via wireless, one of two things always happen: when trying to play video (hulu, ....., etc.) in firefox, within a minute or so i will get the BSOD--that is, my screen will go black, and my cap/num lock lights will flash on and off. also, when regularly browsing the internet...not long after opening firefox, it will stop working like i have no connection, and then i will get a frozen screen and system within a minute or two after seeing a variation of this communication message:
"Message from syslogd@sbkra at Nov 2 21:09:53 kernel: [956.784417] process irq/11-b43 (pid: 1974, ti=debee000 task=dd291170 task.ti=debee000 Message from syslogd@sbkra at Nov 2 21:09:53 kernel: [956.784424] Stack: Message from syslog@sbkra at Nov 2 21:09:53 kernel: [956.784458] Call Trace: "a couple times, i've gotten this message and the following freeze when running video in firefox.
strangely, i have no problems running streaming audio through smplayer. and i have no problems playing saved video files through smplayer. and i have absolutely no problems whatsoever browsing or playing online video while connected via ethernet.
i've also searched through the various forum sections to try to address the issue, but nothing i've tried has worked. nor has anyone had a problem identical or even similar to this. btw...in relation to "broadcom", yast tells me that i have "b43-firmware" and "b43-fwcutter" installed. nothing else. i do not have "ndiswrapper" installed, because this gave me problems in 11.2, and this problem mentioned here was happening in 11.3 before i uninstalled "ndiswrapper". and the repos i have are: Packman, OSS, Non-OSS, and Update.

Sorry for repeating the same old complaint but there doesn't seem to be a common fix: Wireless does not work on my Presario R3000 although SUSE 11.x lists the hardware in the Hardware Information list and the hardware is turned on. Network Manager doesn't display any wireless networks in SUSE while Win 7 can see 4 of them on the same machine. Ubuntu has no problem either
