Slackware :: 13.0 - Wireless Card Stopped Working After Reconfiguration
Jan 30, 2010
After doing a reconfigure of my wrt54gl router, trying to activate WEP encryption, and then finding WICD wouldn't connect, and returning to the original config on the router, now wicd won't reconnect the wireless card. Here's the wicd.log entry from the attempt to connect:
Code:

My Iceweasel is not consistently opening pages. This is new behavior after changing the /etc/network/interfaces file for setting up bridging. The home page is advanced google search. When Iceweasel opens to google, I get a message saying the site is not secure and won't open it. Inputting [URL] ...., it takes about 90 seconds before it opens the site then freezes. If I go to forums.debian.net, the site is fully navigable, if I put anything in the Iceweasel search bar, it freezes.

I just installed Slackware 13 with xfce and everything went well (eventually). At first, my wireless didn't work, but then I found /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf. Everything was working, and I was happily surfing and downloading packages.But then one day... It just stopped! I tried to ping google, and it could send packets but not receive them.I'm connecting through an unlocked network in my building, so I guess it's DHCP (thats what i set it up with the first time 'round

I have a relatively new F12 install (one week old) on which I got my wireless Broadcom card working using kmod-wl-PAE. It was a very easy process - not really a process just yum install kmod-wl-PAE.
After a few updates, I notice that the wireless card stopped working. I assumed maybe there was an update that conflicted, so I did a reinstall of kmod-wl-PAE and it worked again immediately.
Then I started installing compiz-fusion. Immediately after, wireless is broken again. So I yum erase kmod-wl-PAE and then yum install kmod-wl-PAE and it works again.
Now, only slightly later that same day, wireless stops working more or less randomly and I cannot get the reinstall of kmod-wl-PAE to fix it. So I uninstall, disable compiz-fusion, shut down, and restart the computer to try again. My thought is that maybe along the way my autostart compiz or something about compiz is causing the wireless not to configure properly. When I restart, wireless is working. Without kmod-wl-PAE installed:
yum info kmod-wl-PaE
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Available Packages
Name : kmod-wl-PAE
Arch : i686
[Code].....
One, how is this even possible, and two, what is going on with the wireless working, not working, working, not working?

Well, I have an issue with my wireless card in Ubuntu 10.04, my wireless card model is:
the D-Link WIRELESS N 150 DESKTOP ADAPTER DWA-525. I was already successful getting it to work by using the RaLink driver suggested here and following the instructions in their readme.But after a system update I performed through Update Manager (in which I guess the kernel was updated), the device stopped working completely. The wireless icon remains(in the top panel), but it displays a red exclamation mark next to it

I'm running Slack 12 on a Thinkpad T60 and my wireless has stopped connecting to my wireless network at home. I'm using wicd for network management and it was working up until yesterday. I don't know what to do to track down the problem, so I'm looking for advice to do so.Other wireless devices in the house can still connect, so I don't believe my router is the problem.

I have a new Thinkpad t510 laptop with an intel centrino wireless N card (no bluetooth). I installed ubuntu a couple weeks ago after I got another hard drive in the expansion bay. I have the drive partitioned into two sections, 250gb for file storage, and 250gb for the linux OS. Currently no other OS is installed on the other harddrive.
I have had everything perfect for the past couple weeks, but once i installed some updates today, my wireless fails to work now. Just some general info that you might ask me, lspci | grep Network, returns
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 Furthermore, on the top right of my screen, my wireless is grey'd out and says no network devices available on hover.

Im trying to connect to my college wireless network. I have looked a thinkwiki and no one has posted any bugs. Any ideas on getting it working again?

When originally installing 11.04 I had problems getting my Ralink 5390 wireless card to work.
Today my computer froze completely and I had to turn it off via the power switch. When I turned it back on, wireless was no longer recognized! My iPod can connect to the network just fine, so it must be an Ubuntu problem. There are no problems with my ethernet connection either.
I researched this and found several threads about blocking and unblocking wireless devices using the rfkill command. Well, unfortunately for me the rfkill command doesn't work. When I type sudo rfkill list or sudo rfkill unblock all, nothing happens; it just returns me to my bash prompt. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling rfkill...nothing.

The wireless on my 64-bit openSUSE-11.2 installed on my Dell Studio 1537 laptop stopped working some time back (possibly more than a one or two months back). I just discovered this last week when on business. I have not used the wireless under openSUSE-11.2 for a while so I am not certain what broke it, but I am suspicious of an update. I note openSUSE-11.3 milestone-7 works great with the wireless (on a liveCD). I note possibly two related threads, although I note no failed request for firmware in my case:request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode' failed [INTEL 5300 AGN] [OPENSUSE 11.2] - openSUSE Forums, and I see another thread here: Suddenly No Wireless Network Card - openSUSE Forums... but I can not tell if what I have is the same problem, so I did not add to those threads. In my case I can scan for the network, and see the SSID. An ip address is assigned. But a ping does not work.
Some details, the wireless is:
Code:
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5300 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection [8086:4235]
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:1121]
Kernel driver in use: iwlagn
In terms of installed apps:
Code:
rpm -qa '*wireless*'
wireless-tools-30.pre8-5.1.x86_64
wireless-regdb-2009.09.08-2.2.noarch
[code]....
I know the router wireless network is good, because I can connect to the router via wireless with another laptop (old Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M with older Intel wireless), and the router wireless also works with this Dell Studio 1537 PC (with same hardware) but with openSUSE-11.3 milestone7 version.

Our smart card readers stopped working with Firefox and Thunderbird after upgrading from Fedora 9 to 12. When I first opened it, Thunderbird warned that the "CAC Reader (DoD Configuration Extension)" is incompatible with the current version (3.0b4) and disabled the extention. Firefox (3.5.5) just doesn't work. The module listed in Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird [Security Devices] was "/usr/lib64/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so" which is still there. To get it working in Fedora 9 I was able to run an installer from [URL]. That was before my VeriSign software certificate expired.
Now I can't even connect to forge.mil because they require a PKI cert to connect. I'm wondering how they expect someone to get a driver for their CAC reader if they need a working CAC reader to get the driver - seems like a "Catch 22" situation. I also still have the rpm's that I downloaded before from software.forge.mil. I tried installing those but that didn't help.
mozilla-dod-configuration-1.0.2-0.noarch.rpm
firefox-mozilla-dod-configuration-1.0.2-0.noarch.rpm
thunderbird-mozilla-dod-configuration-1.0.2-0.noarch.rpm
Does anyone know if there is a later version of these RPM's or if there's another way to get our CAC readers working again with Firefox and Thunderbird?
Relevant Background Info:
Installed Packages:
ccid-1.3.9-2.fc12.x86_64
coolkey-1.1.0-11.fc12.x86_64
mozilla-dod-configuration-1.0.2-0.noarch
firefox-mozilla-dod-configuration-1.0.2-0.noarch
thunderbird-mozilla-dod-configuration-1.0.2-0.noarch
Could a renamed kernel module be part of the problem? What do you make of the following information?
Find library dependencies:
Code:
[root@inet3 ~]# ldd /usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents/Linux/libccid.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff41bff000)
libusb-0.1.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4 (0x00007f52a37fd000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f52a35e1000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f52a3268000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000374b400000)
[root@inet3 ~]# locate linux-vdso.so
[root@inet3 ~]# locate vdso.so
/lib/modules/2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64/vdso/vdso.so
[root@inet3 ~]#
##!!
There is no module named "linux-vdso.so". It looks like there was a name change that broke the libccid.so dependencies. I tried creating links within "/lib/modules/2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64/" named linux-vdso.so pointing to vdso.so but it still isn't working. I've unloaded the module within Firefox (and Thunderbird) preferences within the [Security Devices] manager. Then tried adding it back using the [Load] button and specifying the coolkey library again but it's still not working.

desktop has been running Ubuntu 10.10 just fine since December. Today, the connections menu shows nothing but "Wireless Networks: disconnected." My laptop is inches away and has a full connection.I'm not sure what diagnostic tools I have at my disposal. The one thing I've been able to do is lspci. The relevant output of sudo lspci -v | less is:

Anybody know how to get pictures off of one? I've got a computer with XP, but the software doesn't want to work. I've tried setting it up in a VM, but VirtualBox won't patch the camera through for some reason. The SD card adapter it came with stopped working, so that's a no-go.

I have two sound (or audio) hardware on my desktop computer. One is part of my computer motherboard and the other one is a sound card (CA0106 Soundblaster) I bought to replace the other one. When I first installed Ubuntu, my sound card was working properly after I made the necessary changes (system>preferences>sound), but after a few days it just stopped working and the sound from the motherboard is only working.
I reinstalled Ubuntu to my computer a few days ago, and my sound card was working again, but once again, it stopped working after a few days. How can I fix this?

HH 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite A75-S2762. Rather suddenly, I have no sound. On startup, I click on the volume control (speaker-with-x) icon in the tray, and the error message in the attachment shows up. (That message only appears once per session, subsequent clicks just say "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.") Synaptic shows a broad range of said plugins installed (everything from Pidgin to good/bad/ugly), I mark them all for reinstallation, but nothing. I have no sound from any program, and whenI go to Control Center | Sound, there are no options down in the "Device" pull-down.Recenthanges to system: installed and later uninstalled VLC for i386, however sound continued to work for at least one or two sessions. (However, after installing VLC, I got no sound in Totem or VLC, only in Dragon.) No other changes of note

I have an HP 2133 Mini-Note [KX869AT] with a Broadcom 4312 wireless card. I've had Ubuntu 10.04 on my machine for a few weeks now and everything was great until my wireless card abruptly stopped working. It doesn't detect any wireless networks,uch less connect to them. I tried reinstalling the proprietary driver, but that hasn't worked.

I'm using 10.04 and it's been excellent all the way through up until this problem happened. My laptop's built-in SD card reader has stopped working out of nowhere.
Here are the basic facts:Laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ50-115NR I tried older Linux Kernels, it's not the newest kernel causing the problem. The SD card reader is not shown in disk utility anymore. It used to be shown, even when no SD card was inserted. Now? Nothing.lspci output:

Yesterday I used slackupdate.sh [0.7.3] from darklinux.net to update Slackware 13.1, 32 bit version. I got Firefox 3.6.6, installed it, moved the libflashplayer.so to the new plugins directory. Now I can't play utube videos. about: plugins says that flashplayer is installed and working. Grabbed flash from Adobe website, overwrote the existing one, still no joy. Asked in the Firefox user forum. Answer 'same thing happen to me -- Windows Vista' ...I'm not an advanced user. So, is this a Slackware problem, an Adobe problem, or a Firefox problem? I'm asking here because y'all are more likely to point me to a solution. I've always been able to grab the Linux version of Flash from Adobe website and install it

I'm on Firefox 3.6.11 with Flash 10.2 d161 on Slackware 13.1 32-bit. Hulu stopped working sometime this past week. (Actually when it stopped working I was still on the previous versions of Firefox and Flash - I upgraded 3.6.10 to 3.6.11 to see if it would help.) Worked fine before that. I've tried Firefox safe-mode, disabling add-ons and using default theme and none of this matters. Flash works fine and Hulu worked fine before a week ago.

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?

Adobe Acrobat has stopped working. If I try it from the command line I get
Quote:

I have tried re-installing but there is no difference and the file is clearly there. Is it possible a recent upgrade of a slackware patch might have caused this?

With Firefox 3.6 from the official repository, and the flash-player-plugin from Slacky.eu installed here. It's worked fine up until now, where websites either claim it's not installed, or show a blank box instead.NoScript is installed on my Firefox, but given that on fully trusted pages (of which there are very few) it still happens, and nothing else blocks Flash besides AdBlock and Firefox's own settings (both checked too) I suspect the plugin.I also tried downloading direct from Adobe, and plonking the libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib / mozilla/plugins and making a backup of the original one (The one provided from Slacky's package) but to no avail.So it seems to be the plugin, but for inexplicable reasons.Would anyone happen to be able to explicate this inexplicability?

Setting up my slackware system for prime use, i downloaded robby's xfce 4.8 package and upgraded xfce 4.6. Later i downloaded slackpkg and upgraded all my packages for the first time. When i did a restart, xfce 4.8 had gone back to xfce 4.6. I just went back to the directory where i was storing all the xfce 4.8 files and did the upgrade again, it worked; now for some reason though my terminal emulator no longer works, as regular user and root. I get an eroor saying, failed to execute terminal emulator. Input/output error.

When I installed slackare 13 it detected usb drives and cameras automaticallyow it doesn't. I am runnning a 13.0 system, not current, so I have only applied the updates in that branch (iirc including a new kernel).nowadays when i plug a device in it does not seem to be detected by HAL (i.e not in KDE).However the device is listed if you use the command "lsusb" and the computer obviously knows it has been plugged in as there is a relevant entry in dmesg.Sorry for the generallised nature of the post, but I don't really know anything about HAL or how it can have stopped working

Slackbuilds had none to offer, so I got the sources from http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page. It compiled and installed without problems, but the error from VLC states the same. Is my system the only one affected by the update, and how do I fix it?

pulled the wireless USB adapter out of the back of my laptop when I was using it. I plugged it back in and it can see my wireless network, but it can't connect. Everytime it tries, it just shows the connecting icon on the top bar for a few minutes and then says that the network has been disconnected.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the USB adaptor, but nothing I've done seems able to fix the issue. Anyone know how to fix this?
The USB adaptor I'm using is a Trendnet TEW-424UB
