Using:Fedora 13 DLink dwa-120 (wireless USB adaptor - Yes, it may not be officially supported byt i got it working on Suse 11.2 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS so no reason for it not to work in Fedora) ndiswrapper i have followed all the standard instructions installed driver correctly using ndiswrapper yet wlan0 does not appear in response to "iwconfig" module configuration already contains alias directive driver installed and present.
the PC just hangs for ever. No mouse movement, ctrl-alt-del, nothing.
I have downloaded a Linux driver from Realtek but it will not compile. I have the latest kernel-devel, headers, and gcc. I can post compiler errors if anybody would like. They're all apparently to do with missing parameters.
I am tring to get my linksys wireless router to connect to my laptop that i recently installed Fedora 10 on. Well it is actully running of an external HD. Any way when i boot in windows it connects and works fine, but when i try to activate wlan0 it says "Cannot activate network divice wlan0!" "determining IP info failed..."
The past couple days I've been attempting to use ndiswrapper to connect to my home network wirelessly and have run into a slight problem. I'm able to install ndiswrapper (of course), and install the driver. ndiswrapper -l comes up good, showing the driver is in place for my netgear wg311v3 card.
modprobe ndiswrapper I am able to get to work without errors, except, when i type ndiswrapper -ma it writes another file to /etc/modeprobe.d/ndiswrapper causing the deprecation error.
The card scans for networks, and I'm able type in my encryption key.
However it doesn't connect. | grep comes up with the error that the wlan0 link is not ready.
I think I've also been able to determine that the configuration I've put in to the card through the network manager is not actually configured.
Anyone know how I could possibly connect with the card.. It seems it should be able to work. alias wlano is also in place.
Is there a way to get conky to show only eth0 or wlan0? My configuration only shows the wireless bit when wifi is switched on but shows eth0 all the time.
Temperature: I have nvidia card with drivers from rpm fusion, can conky give me the temperature of the card and the cpu?
I've been able to get a laptop on Fedora 14 (2.6.35.6-48) working with a Netgear WNA1100 Once up and running, I execute "ifconfig wlan0 up" from root, and everything connects just fine and is stable as long as I stay logged in. But, I haven't found how to do this automatically on boot.
I've tried to use NetworkManager, but I cannot figure out how to get the GUI to show up - it says its running and enabled in the Services gui, but I haven't figured out how to actually use it! I checked to see if the nm-applet is running with ps, and for the user login, I see:
I'm not sure if the "sm-disable" flag is my problem, or how to change it. I'm not even sure if NetworkManager will allow me to set things up for bootup, but that is the path I ran down...
I assume this is a fundamentally easy process to set this up on bootup, but I'm not stumbling across the method. I recall doing this kind of thing years ago when I was an engineer, and before I got my lobotomy to become a manager...
I recently installed Linux "Fedora" and when I click "ifconfig" I see can see the network card "eth1" I want to change it to "wlan0", I realized that this is a common enough problem at Fedora, and I read about it a bit on Google but unfortunately I did not understand how to change it correctly. give me the order strictly Consul that allows Linux to change the name of my network card
Having trouble with wireless and FC11, eth0 is ok. When I try to activate wlan0 through system-config-network 1.5.97, I get msg: Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Determining IP information for wlan0... failed. This is a compaq laptop.
I would like to mount a bunch of folders/shares when I start my machine up. I will be adding the mounts into my /etc/fstab folder BUT my WLAN0 only comes "up" and connects to my WAP AFTER logging in.
how I get it to start on PC boot instead of log in?
I think I need to disable network manager but I'm unfamiliar with the procedure in Fedora
i can't get a pppoe conection working over a wireless network,in windows I have to connect to the router first, and then put in my user and password to get connected, but i don't know how to do this on fedora, i get connected to the router through network manager, and ping is ok, but when i try to make a new xDSL connection i don't know how to make it work through the wireless network that is established and working with my router.
Commands as root works well when normal user is logged in and connected to net via KDE 4 network manager, but after logoff network is gone. And it is impossible to get it back because command mentioned above stops working!
I am having a problem trying to transfer large file (~700MB) from one station in my home to another. I have 3 PCs hooked up through a router. 1 is wired to the router and the other two are wireless. One wireless is a laptop that has a built-in Atheros wireless card that was supported during the FC13 install. The other wireless has a plug-in wireless card made by Belkin (F7D1101). I had to use ndiswrapper to get it to work on FC13.(BTW all PCs are running FC13)
The one with the Belkin card is, I think, the problem. The one with the Atheros card will transfer files at a rate of about 8MB/sec to the one with the wired ethernet connection. The one with the Belkin card will not transfer at rates over 300KB/sec to either of the other two PCs. I have tried file transfers both encrypted and not and it makes no difference.
(and new-ish to Linux in general) and would appreciate some assistance with fixing a problem I'm having with getting wireless working on my computer.Computer specs: Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 520, I5Wireless card: Intel WiFi Link 1000 b/g/n(Note: I also have a Netgear USB wireless adapter, and trying to use this does not solve my problem)I cannot activate wireless. When I go to Network Settings > Wireless, it is listed as "unavailable", and "off". When I try to switch wireless "on", it says "disconnected", but then immediately switches back to "off".Having tried to browse various forums and such for a solution, I tried looking for the file ifcfg-wlan0 under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, but it doesn't exist
I do not know how it came to pass, but it has come to pass. I was in the process of updating my desktop Fedora 10 (KDE) system with yum, when I finished that I got a message about
Since 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64, dhclient wlan0 doesn't seem to work any more.
However, bizarrely, dhclient eth0 does (to the same D-link wireless router).
The AP shows connected - tail /var/log/messages
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
WINXP connects just fine. This (B43) has worked nicely ever since FC10 came out, and I was able to use the WiFi at all kinds of places on a recent trip. Other than a couple of yum updates, I don't think anything else has changed since. Other devices on the wlan are getting their DHCP requests satisfied correctly.
Is anyone else having this problem since about a week ago? Perhaps there's something really obvious I'm missing. I can manually assign an IP address to wlan0, manually edit the routing tables and edit /etc/resolv.conf, and then Wifi seems to work OK, so it doesn't seem to be b43 itself unless it is dropping DHCPOFFERS. If this isn't a regression, does anyone have any tips about how to debug this?
I just installed Fedora 13 from the Live CD. FIrst off I read the guide and the first step doesn't even work for me. System>Administration>Network does not exist. If I go to System then Preferences I see a Network Manager but it looks nothing like what these screen shots look like. [url]
No wireless card show up in the wireless tab of Network Manager. How can I fix this since my card is listed in ifconfig and iwconfig. Wifi card is a Zonet zew2500p
client <--> wlan0 <--> computer <--> eth0 <--> internet
i have 2 network connections eth0 wired connected to internet wlan0 wireless (work fine) i have installed hostapd with madwifi and so on oki when i run hostapd the clients see the hot spot oki clients connect with wpa oki network manager run at demand not automatic (keep it for internet help) now i'm a bit lost what do i need is wlan0 give the client an ip (dhcp demand) create a bridge between wlan0 and eth0 steps to create a permanent bridge between wlan0 and eth0
I have setup hostapd and a bridged setup with br0 bridging eth0 and wlan0. The setup works but unfortunately not on bootup. The reason is that the bridge can't add iface wlan0 because it is down for some reason at this time. When hostapd is running (after the network script) the interface is up and can be added to bridge via
I've got a problem while accessing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 file, CLI's throwing: "Stale File Handle" - there's no access to this file. Problem is the same regardless wlan0 interface is up or down.
I am still encountering problems getting the Broadcom 4321 chipset to work on my Fedora 13, even after using this guide, this guide and another guide on ndiswrapper.
I just installed Fedora 13 on a new Dell XPS desktop and some of the networking files are not created/missing. The computer has Broadcom Gigabit wired card and Asus PCE-N13 wireless card. When I type lspci, I see that Network conroller: RaLink RT2860 and Ethernet controller: Broadcom BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet. So, somehow they are being detected by the OS, but I am not sure if the drivers are installed or why some of the network files are missng.
Just installed f14 on my Toshiba laptop, which has a realtek ethernet card. i installed the drivers from the realtek site with no issues (also, i know the card is good, i had it working on suse a while back). No matter what I try, i cannot seem to get the computer to recognize there being a wireless connection (tells me no such thing as wlan0).ifconfig shows the following:
Code: # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 88:AE:1D:F4:AD:88
How do I add a route that doesn't go away after a reboot? I tried adding to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-wlan0 and /etc/sysconfig/static-routes but neither of them did anything when I restarted network and NetworkManager. route command does not show the new route that I added. I tried this too - routes.html and there were no errors but the new route doesn't show up with the route command.I added "192.168.13.88/255.255.255.255 via 192.168.13.101 dev wlan0"
After upgrading to squeeze my wlan0 can't be started on command:
I get these errors in syslog:
End this error goes on.
hardware device is:
As i understand driver doesn't work. I have installed it automatically through package b43-fwcutter and it worked fine before upgrade. Now removing b43-fwcutter didn't remove the driver itself.
I just switched from Fedora 13 to openSUSE 11.3 on my laptop and so far love it...well...not quite. I'm having some major network issues. As in...no networks.
I installed everything and booted up for the first time. Everything worked great, I had wireless through wlan0 and could connect directly to my home router via eth0 with no problems. Installed a few applications and ran into some problems with hibernating/suspend modes. I rebooted and like magic, NetworkManager said networking was diabled. My WiFi light was off. Network switch on the computer didn't do anything.
I thought alright, I'll connect my ethernet cord and can go from there....problem is that won't work either. I tried searching for drivers online on my desktop, found some and transferred them via USB with no luck. They won't install. I have no idea why, or whats going on but I really need my laptop for school on Monday so it would be AWESOME to have it working by then.
Here is what I have: Intel 5150 WiFi card Dell Studio XPS M1640 laptop OpenSUSE 11.3
On a new Dell Lattitude e6400, I have installed both arch and Ubuntu. Ubuntu recognized wifi and ethernet right away and connected and is working fine, but in arch, I am having more problems then I usually do when using arch. From the output of lspci the ethernet is a intel device 1502, I have researched this and found it to need the e1000e module as its driver. I modprobed this module sucessfully, but no ethernet. With wlan, i have found that the card is a DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card that has a broadcom 4727 chip in it. I downloaded the windows driver for this chip and isntalled it with ndiswrapper but this did not help. What I think is the root of the problem is the error message that restarting networking creates.
Quote:
Dell only supplies drivers for ubuntu, but it should still be possible to get this to work. I have tried booting various live distros that I had drives for and I found that the parted magic boot disk saw the ethernet port and was able to connect to ethernet, and that the ubuntu live disk was able to connect to both wifi and ethernet. Somehow they must be seeing the prescense of the hardware in a way that I have not tried with arch. Please help, I really need to get this computer workign with arch.
