Someone could configure the ipw2100 in ad-hoc mode with WEP? i can't even get the interface up and working (tx-power is off and the ESSID is always "any"). i've tried configuring with iwconfig and the KDE network configurator. There is some previous step to get the wireless card up and running?
View 1 RepliesI have a Fujitsu Siemens T3010 Lifebook on which I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed. The installed kernel is 2.6.35-27. lspci lists the installed network contraller as:
01:0d.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) At first glance, the wireless adapter seems to be functioning normally. The problem is that every once in a while the wireless connection gets dropped, and gets reestablished a while later. At times, this happens very frequently. I have been able to figure out that the reason that the connection is dropped is due to a HW rfkill. The 'rfkill list' command produces the following output following the connection getting dropped:
Code:
0:phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
'Hard blocked: no' is printed whenever the connection is up and running. The laptop does in fact have a physical killswitch located behind it and needless to say turning it off also produces the same result. However, the loop of the connection getting dropped and reestablished happens even in the absence of physical contact altogether, so it can't be that a slight wobble is being misinterpreted as the killswitch has been triggered or anything.
I have a nasty feeling that the problem may be due to a physical problem - but I want to exhaust all other alternatives before I go digging into the box. Even if it is not fixable, perhaps there may be a way to override the problem somehow. I am posting a section from my daemon.log that spans a single rfkill loop below.

How to use 13.1 as server for network
View 6 Replies View RelatedThere's no NetworkManager, where should i detect the possible connection and connect it.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem which drives me crazy. There is a website I am unable to connect (and a server). This problem appears only when I am workin at home, using my wifi network with my wifi router. Why am I becoming mad? I have four other systems: W2000, WXP, OpenBSD, Debian, they all use the same wifi router for a connection and there is no problem at all. It is not related to that particular computer cause eg. OpenBSD is installed on the same computer, it uses the same wifi card (so no some kind of a MAC filtration on the side of the router) and working on OpenBSD I can connect. For me it seems that accidentally I set some kind of a wall in the Slackware. But where and how? Where should I look for some filters or settings which may cause such strange behaveour?
Let me be clear: it is only about that particular site, I have an internet connection, I can google, I can do all thing, but I'm unable to connect to exactly this one site. Yeah, you know I always said that all companies should employee me as a super alfa tester. I'm able to broke everything. No system is secure when I'm working on it.
I installed slackware64 13.0 on my Dell D630 laptop. Recently I found a wierd network problem:
Sometimes, after couple of hours, I nearly cannot open new websites. It takes so many time to open a page. (I tried in firefox, lynx and konqueror.
But some other connection still work, such as KRDC.
I tried nslookup and dig, they all works very well, so the DNS is ok.
But ping works very slow with some url if I use the domain name. And it runs very fast with the ip of that url. So, maybe there is some problem with the DNS, or something else.
ping result is:
1) ping by domain name
2) ping by ip (same target)
Restart the network with rc.inet1 cannot fix this problem. Only I can do is reboot the computer.
May be it's a kernel(2.6.29.6) bug? Or the bug of my wireless card driver(BCM 4311)?
I just installed slackware 13 with kernel 2.6.33.4 , everything seems to be ok so far, but the system does not load eth0.Ive tried netconfig , ive tried to configure rc.inet1.conf by hand and run rc.inet1 eth0_start but nothing works.After running netconfig the system says everything is ok , but when I run ifcofnig there is no eth0.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble getting my wireless card to connect to my network. I believe I have done everything correctly. Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf file:
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
[Code]....
I have never connected to a wpa network using slackware before, so I am not entirely sure how to use wpa_supplicant. I have altered the conf file, then tried dhcpcd and it times out.
Right now I cannot ping to my default gateway. The machine also has SuSE installed on a separate partition. Networking with the same parameters runs fine in that installation.
I use a troubleshooting checklist for situations like this:
- network troubleshooting checklist
- (case of wired connection with static ip)
- make sure net cable is well plugged in on both sides. CHKD.
- make sure ifconfig eth0 details the static IP you want set and that the iface is running (this stage is quite a head start if you've got to it. It would suggest that you have rc.inet1.conf set up properly. CHKD.
- HAL checked against eth0, and it also specifies eth0 for this interface.
- no problem pinging to 127.0.0.1
- type "route" and see if your default gateway comes up. SEMI-CHK: it does come up but takes a long while .. that's bad sign. It still means your rc.inet1.conf is OK, but here's something else up.
- check /etc/resolv.conf for your nameservers .. just in case some over-zealous program has decided to overwrite it. CHKD, all OK .. I use the google nameservers 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.8.8
Despite using what I thought were decent tools of the trade, if I unplug the cable they give the same output!
I have two computers both running slackware on the same network using ext3 filesystems.
What is the easiest and most secure way to mount one drive to the other computer?
I created a similar thread last week in the networking section but only got one response. I was hoping to get a little more help here as this forum helped me tremendously to partition my hard drive safely. That was over a week ago, and ever since then I have been struggling with setting up my network. Here is what I have done.Basic set up with netconfig. I selected DHCP and followed the directions on the screen.ifconfig -a shows eth0 with no RX or TX packets at all, but at least it showed me information. If it was not detecting my card (which is compatible with linux), it would have said no device found. correct?
dhclient eth0 just hangs there for half a minute until I can add a command again.dhcpcd eth0 times out.I read (in slackbook chaper 5.2.1) that the correct kernel module may not be loaded. So I opened rc.modules with pico and went to the netdevice section. In slackbook it said to find my device and uncomment it.... but I cant find it! (I have an atheros ar9285 in my stock compaq CQ61 laptop) I also opened rc.netdevice and it was empty..It seems like the more I learn about the network, the more lost I get. I keep hearing that configuring a network on slackware is easy, am I just missing some simple step?Also, whenever I startx, akonadi gives me an error. I also get another error saying that it could not parse XMS file. Is that just due to my lack of an internet connection at the moment?
I have a slackware 12.2 server. We had some really rough storms this weekend that took the power out for many hours. The UPS that it was connect to gave up the ghost and the server went down hard. I powered up the unit and it some up fine but with no network. Ifconfig -a shows that it only knows about the lo interface. Both integrated gig ethernet ports are missing. I am not a slackware expert. Need to figure out what is needed to get it back on the network. dmesg | grep eth0 shows nothing. Nor eth1. ifconfig eth0 returns no such device.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop that I want to connect to my stereo via USB, and I want the other computers on my network to be able to send sound to it somewhat transparently. By "transparently" I mean that I want to be able to send literally any audio that would go through my local speakers to the stereo via the network. As far as I know, PulseAudio can do this without rebuilding any multimedia packages. No one really has anything good to say about PulseAudio, though.
As of now I'm ready to wipe the laptop (Pentium 4) and put pretty much anything (*nix) on it. I know PulseAudio is pretty easy to get running on *buntu, so I might end up doing that. I just want to be able to turn on the laptop and connect the stereo (in any order) and without doing anything else, have it ready to go on the network. Of course, I'm willing to put in some work to get it running. I prefer Slackware and FreeBSD, but the machine will literally just be there to send sound to the stereo.
Someone on forums.freebsd.org suggested NAS as a solution to a similar problem; however, I can't find anything useful regarding how to configure it, troubleshoot it, etc. I've only found random threads on the web by people who know how to use it or by people who can't find any resources for it.
Anyway, I'll be busy setting up PulseAudio to see how that works out. I can always wipe the laptop later, and I have a Kubuntu boot on my main laptop that I don't really care about.

View 16 Replies View RelatedJust recently set up a Slackware 13.1 partition. I'm really enjoying how it works so far, but I have one problem I just can't seem to find the right solution to, and was hoping for some assistance. Here is the basic setup. The Slackware box has eth0 connected to my wired router, and eth1 goes to an xbox running Xbmc. What I require is that the Xbox gets it's own DHCP IP from the router. In other versions of Linux I accomplish this by using bridge-utils. In Arch Linux I accomplish this by having this in /etc/rc.conf:
Code:
eth0="eth0 up"
eth1="eth1 up"
br0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1 br0)
and this in /etc/conf.d/bridges:

I know I'm close here, but I just can't get it to bring the network up with the bridge by restarting the networking, or rebooting.
I have a problem with my slackware 13.1 that is that i can�t access it outside my local network. It�s running behind a router and i have activated the DMZ to my slackware computer i can access the web with my slackware computer but i can�t get access to it outside my LAN.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI got a Slackware 12.1 on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop which is a multi boot system along with Vista and Ubuntu Hardy. I tried using Slackware after several months. The last time I used Slackware, I was at university where the Network settings were Manual - Static IP, Gateway, DNS all specified according to location (dorm room). I moved out of univ and now have a network connection with DHCP. Basically I connect to a server, login with the info the service provider has given me.
Problem is I can't change the Network settings through Control Center in KDE. It just doesn't register any changes even if I reboot. Through Konsole and as root, I could change the settings using netconfig. But then I need a reboot to register the changes. Why is this so? Anyway to avoid a reboot? In my Ubuntu Hardy, there is no need for a reboot when I change the settings. Thats quite convenient.

I've got a Linksys WRT54G router with the latest firmware. I've got an HP laptop connecting wirelessly and my main box connecting wirelessly with a Linksys WMP54G card. (As an aside, I used to have another box too with the same wireless card). Both are set up with a static IP. Both can access the Internet just fine. The router is on the main floor. My main box is in the basement. Both boxes are running fully patched versions of Slackware64 13.1. sshd is running on both.
I like to ssh into the other box when there's a security update or to copy a file from one computer to the other, etc. The problem is that I can't do that all the time. Even if the laptop is connected to the network and accessing the Internet, on my main box ssh will still "say ssh: connect to host ***** port 22: No route to host". It is my understanding that if I ssh in, it is accessing the other computer directly and not going through the router. What would cause this? Even if I bring the laptop within four feet of my computer, it still can't connect.
There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to when it will connect and when it wont. Sometimes I can access it just fine then about five minutes later I can't.
I'm looking for a tool to control network bandwidth (per application i.e. totem), something like trickle (a userspace bandwidth shaper).Trickle is a bit outdated, latest ver. 1.0.6 (2003), and it won't compile under -current. There's a slackbuild available, dated 2004.

I recently swapped from ubuntu to slackware. It's all functioning, minus the wireless network. Decided to forgo my usual fluxbox desktop for the features in KDE until I get ready to swap back (not sure what programs I'll have to add to startup in flux yet). I'm using a toshiba satellite L305-S5957 with a Realtek 802.11b/g wireless-LAN adapter. Not sure if it's a hardware problem or if I just don't know how to connect with kde.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to copy files over my network between my two computers.
I have done it before, but don't remember all the things I had to go through to do it.
None of the instructional things that I have found has given me actual instructions that I understand.
Actually I have not even found instructions for using scp that I can understand. I have all ready done this in the past, yet with 30 years experience with computers, a bachelors degree in computer science, 20 years experience with linux I still cannot understand anything that I have found that tells how to do this.
I have two problems.
(1) the actual syntax of scp. None of the instructions I have found tell what anything is in their examples.
They might say:
scp blah blah yadda yadda zonk zonk.
They don't bother to tell me what blah blah is or what yadda yadda is, or what zonk zonk is.
(2) Also none of them tells what has to be set up in configuration files for things to work. For example one of my computers is named KING, and one is named QUEEN. There is probably something on computer KING that tells what QUEEN is. I don't know what this configuration file is, so of course I can't put in the entries that would do the job.
So where are some instructions that I might find for doing this copy of files over my network of two computers?
Flashed bios lastnight on 13.0 desktop.

oh yes, i manually edited this too. mv'd and netconfig'd.

It's purpose is to be gateway pc, so the vm's are only gonna be here until a VM server will be setup - but that could easily complete after 2 months. The test-phase setup is that this gw () is part of the internal network and I have only attached 1-2 clients that it serves (ie these clients belong to a 2nd level internal network). I do most of the setup by ssh'ing from the INET if (my pc is also part of the internal network and not of the 2nd level one).
As fas as my vm in vbox is concerned, I have setup a bridged connection to eth0 (the LOCAL if), since I'm gonna be running a printer server out of that vm (so NAT'ing would perplex the setup) The problem is that all of a sudden, when virtualbox is running the INET if gets broken, and I lose connection to the gw, from the INET side only! the LOCAL if is still working, the 2nd level clients are working fine.

I can push my luck too; from the INET side of the gw I had :-an ssh session open, -an X session open - so that I could have access to the gui of virtualbox application and my running vm. -an ssh tunnel on port 139 in order to bypass the gw's firewall and get access to some samba shares on the gw. I tried 3 times to copy a 2GB iso image from my pc to the gw and all 3 times the INET if broke. Finally, if i disable start up of the virtualbox and restart the machine, the problem doesn't occur..

I installed the new Slackware 13.1 64 on my laptop and I am trying to connect to the internet via a wireless network but i don't what is wrong with my configurations it just doesn't work.
I tried doing the following:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "ESSID"
iwconfig wlan0 key "Password"
iwconfig wlan0 channel NUMBER
Then i do dhcpcd -d but then no success after - i try to ping some sites, no reply, i put new dns servers in resolv.conf, still no results, i tried to ping some ips and it says network unreachable, it just doesn't work at all.
I did iwlist wlan0 scanning and it found all the wireless networks, so the adapter is not the problem, the problem here is the procedure. How to do it properly so it will work ? I can connect via ethernet by easy configuring eth0 but i have no success for wireless networks. I read everything there was on google, i searched a lot of sites, i tried a lot of different methods but NONE of it worked.
