Slackware :: Broke Wireless Connection... Unable To Get IP Address?

Feb 15, 2011

I installed Wicd from the Slackware DVD and was successfully connecting to the internet for the past few weeks.I do not know if the following caused my problem or if it is something else that I did:All of a sudden (probably something that I did) the wpa_gui screen started to appear on my desktop. I just closed it.Today, in a moment of stupidity, I said "Who needs this wpa-gui thingy?! I know, I'll just use pkgtool to uninstall it. Then, if I need it, I'll just use pkgtool to reinstall it!" So, I did. After my next reboot, you guessed it, no wireless.

Wicd seems to do everything it used to do, except connect. I get the error msg "Connection Failed: Unable to get IP address." I see my 'connection' listed and it is still set to "Automatically connect to this network" but it doesn't.So, is it the wpa-gui app that I 'uninstalled' or is it something else that I might have done?

Slackware :: Wireless Connection On Slax USB - How To Manually Set IP Address

Feb 1, 2011

I am trying to connect to the net wirelessly using Slax off my USB stick. I did the best I could using the wireless configure tool but Firefox will not surf - no connection. The configure tool shows that I am 'partly' connected in that it shows signal strength in green but I noticed that there is no entry for IP address. Am I suppose to know this and enter it? In LMDE, I see the IP as 192.168.2.10 and other addresses. Do I need to enter this stuff?

Slackware :: External Address And Connection Refused

Feb 8, 2010

My wife takes her laptop on her travels but recently has been getting a connection refused when attempting to connect to our home server. The only reason I believe this is occurring is because of iptables blocking certain IP addresses which I don't want to delete for SPAM prevention.

What configuration what be both secure and relatively straight forward. Initially configured mac filtering but then realised this would not be appropriate under these circumstances..

Also there is no specific logging in either postfix or dovecot about connection refused.

OpenSUSE :: Connection Failed: Unable To Get IP Address

Jan 26, 2010

I seem to be having real difficulty downgrading my Wicd as I keep getting "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address", and after having the trouble in another laptop (Ubuntu Mint) with the same problem...oddly enough the solution (other than buying another router) was to downgrade the wicd. butttt.... Now I not able to uninstall Wicd and therefore can't install the downgraded rpm file.Below is the error when trying to delete Wicd 1.7.0.2/ On another note,,, is there an easier one stop search for available software?, One that doesn't require an intimate knowledge of repositor

Ubuntu Networking :: Connection Failed: Unable To Get IP Address

Apr 24, 2010

So I got Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop working really neat and wanted to upgrade my desktop to 9.10 as well. So I reinstalled Ubuntu there and now I can't connect to my network anymore....

I have a usb wireless adapter (currently Sitecom as I bought a new one today to hopefully fix it, but ended up at exactly the same problem as with my old adapter). The network manager I'm using now is Wicd since some topics I was looking through were about malfunctioning GNOME network-manager (which I removed) and suggested to try this. The GNOME network-manager kept prompting to insert my WEP network key which was a correct one. When I removed all security from the network it didn't prompt anything anymore but just failed to connect. The Wicd network manager is so nice to tell me that it cannot obtain the IP address however, so I suspect that this is my main issue... but I have no idea what I can do about this? Tried using a static IP and then I get the message "Connection failed: Could not contact the wireless access point."

I feel powerless as my knowledge here is just lacking..

OpenSUSE Network :: KNetworkManager Connection - Never Obtain An IP Address From Wireless Router

Feb 24, 2010

I have an open WEP wireless internet connection with a security key. KNetworkManager can never obtain an IP address from my wireless router, but I know that the router works because Windows can connect correctly and Ubuntu's NetworkManager can connection correctly. Does anyone know what is happening? KNetworkManager just asks for my security again and again and again after it fails to connect.

Slackware :: Wireless Connections - Valid Ip Address, But No Network Connectivity?

Apr 8, 2011

I'm having making network/internet connection with my laptop. I have:Toshiba 1415 S173laptop
NetGear WG511T pcmcia card using madwifiNetGear WPNT511 pcmcia card using windows driver via ndiswrapperSlackware 12.2In both cases the card is recognized, and I can get a list of access points with iwlist.I can set the card to connect to the desired access point. I can use dhclient to get an ip address from the remote dhcp server. This works, the card is assigned a valid ip address on the desired network.Once I do this, however, I cannot access any network resources, no Internet, and no other devices on the network can see, ping, or access my laptop. It does this with with both cards, using madwifi or the windows driver via ndiswrapper.

Slackware :: Get A Wired Connection But Not A Wireless

Dec 27, 2010

I have a fresh install of Slackware 13.1 on my Samsung N150 plus. I've been fiddling around with it for a couple of days trying to get the wireless to work. Below are the network controllers of my laptop.

05:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller

I included wireless and wired, not sure it would help or not. After many Google searches on the subject I installed and setup Wicd. I am able to get a wired connection but not a wireless. I can see other networks, I am unable to connect to them though. Also when I installed Slackware I didn't setup the network. The Readme for Wicd said that having a network configured can mess it up. But is having no network set up worse. I know there is easier way to setup wireless networks, I just cant figure it out.

General :: Unable To Get An Internet Connection - "No Address Found"

Apr 23, 2010

I have little to no understanding of this system. I am currently setting up for a work from home job that requires I use a disk in my CD drive when booting my PC. I believe this disk runs an ISOLinux operating system.

The system appears to boot properly; however, I am receiving an error that states "No Address Found" and I am unable to get an internet connection. When running Windows Vista, my ethernet connection runs fine. I'm sure I am missing one small piece of the puzzle that will make this work.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: 11.4 - Kernel Update Broke Wireless

Aug 3, 2011

I just performed the newest kernel update to version 2.6.37.6-0.7 (desktop). Unfortunately, there is no update for the compat-wireless package available. It's still the version for kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5. Hence, my wireless is currently not working and I had to pull a cable through my apartment to write these lines. I actually thought due to the change of the very last digit in the kernel version that this should be a rather safe update. But I also had to recompile the modules of the NVidia driver and of Virtualbox. Does anyone has an idea when new compat-wireless modules will be available? Or do I have to re-compile them myself (I never had to do that before and I really hope that I don't have to)? Or is there a trick to make the old modules work?

Ubuntu Networking :: Unable To Use The Wireless Connection

May 5, 2010

Recently I have encountered Problems with my Wireless that I have not had before and I cannot fix. So I am asking for help.

6 month old Dell Insperion 1730 Laptop
Dual boot Karmic/Win 7
WUBI install.

No problems till about a week ago.A week ago I upgraded to Lucid and could not get the DVD drive to mount no matter what. The OS saw it but would not mount it...... uninstall and re -install Karmic.As soon as the patches are installed from the update manager, I lose my wireless completely. Wired connection still works.

I have tried different things from here and other sites. Basically I need to know how to enable my wireless card. There is no switch and key combinations (ALT+ F2) don't do anything. Connectivity in Win 7 is fine.

The Applet says wireless is disabled and so does the output from $sudo lshw -C network.It sees the interface but the network is disabled. lsmod shows the driver. iw list scan says does not support scanning. Newtwork is down.I know there is something in the updates that is messing the Intel WiFi Link 5100 up. On a fresh install all works till updated.

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.4 - Unable To Use The Wireless Connection

Aug 17, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 10.4 AMD64 on a HP Pavilion dv4Z-1200 laptop which I had manually assigned a temporary static IP through the DHCP server to the wireless connection, say 92. The server assigns the IP based on MAC.I later reassigned my standard IP to it, 80, but whenever I connect to the network with the Ubuntu wireless connection set to Automatic, it is still picking up 92 (which is outside the range of the DHCP assigning authority, which is 100-120).

I can force 80 manually, but I would rather the DHCP server issue the correct address, rather than tell it which one I want (kind of the whole purpose behind assigning static IPs, no?)I don't know... there is something wrong with this OS installation, because my internet connection is painfully intermittent, to the point of unusability, where other computers on the network are working fine. If I boot the same machine with 9.10 64AMD, the wireless assigned IP is correct and the internet seems to be working fine.

Networking :: Unable To Maintain A Wpa Wireless Connection

Jan 5, 2011

I just installed suse 11.3 and everything seems to work perfectly out of the box, except for the network card. I am currently using the ath9k driver.

The problem is that if I connect to a WPA protected network, the connection will drop about every 20 seconds and ask for the network key again. Eventually, after about 15 minutes, it completely stops working and I have to reboot in order to be able to use it again. Unloading and reloading the ath9k module has no effect, a full reboot is needed. I have not yet tried to use ath5k or madwifi instead, but on ubuntu, the ath5k and madwifi drivers do not associate with my card.

below is one "cycle" in the nm log, from connected to the next connected:

Code:

Ubuntu :: WPA/WP2 Wireless Connection - Unable To Connect To My Network

Oct 5, 2010

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my HP Pavilion dv5. My laptop has a Broadcom 4312 wireless adapter. The driver for the adapter was installed by Ubuntu as a proprietary driver. The wireless light is on and I can see the available networks, but I am unable to connect to my network. The correct authorization is set(WPA/WPA2) and I have entered the passphrase correctly.

I am able to connect to the wireless network successfully from my Windows login(that is how I confirmed that the passphrase is accurate). The network shows that it is trying to connect, but the wireless authentication dialog(asking for the passphrase) keeps popping up. Incidentally, the same thing happened when I tried openSuSe and Fedora on a spare laptop. The windows systems can connect, but not the Linux systems.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: BCM4311 Unable To Make Connection - But Can See Network?

Apr 23, 2011

I think I've read every post here about the Broadcom and connection.I thought I tried everything.Turns out (read Chapter�35.�Using NetworkManager) using Connection Manager (K Network Manager) you can not use, what I wanted to use, 'all users, use connection' or said another way, the wifi would be activated and connected Before the user 'logs in'. Well, as I said, it turns out that if you are using gnome, this will work with NetMgr, but NOT in KDE. If you want to use 'system connect' then you have to use 'traditional' if in YaST2. Oh well, at least 'i'm' connected.... (i'm the only user, so not a big deal right now, but would like to get it working...)
