Software :: Find The Distance To The Wireless Transmitter?
Apr 8, 2010
Currently one of my neighbours has his/her router transmitting open ( no encryption ) web access for anyone to enjoy. Unfortunately I do not believe he/she is aware others can use his/her internet or that the wireless feature is on at all. The reasons behind this are simple. The router is using its default SSID, and the access password and username are default. If I wanted to I could stuff up his/her router badly, but I am a nice person.
I need to locate his/her router. The only method I know of other than doorknocking is to locate it via three distance measurements from three different points. If I have 23 metres from point A for example, it could be 23 meters in any direction, creating a circle of possible positions. A second position and distance reading will allow me to narrow that down to exactly two positions, and a third distance reading with tell me exactly the spot the router is transmitting from.
I've drawn a diagram and attached it to explain what I plan to do. What I need to know how to do is get access to any information on the distance of the router from where my computer is. Even if each measurement is off by 1 or more metres, it should still be accurate enough to pinpoint a single house.
I have bought a keene usb fm transmitter. It works fine with (I have problems saying this) Windows. The wankers have forgotten that there is also Ubuntu. When inserting the usb fm transmitter I get in the sound preferences under hardware the following device: B-link USB Audio. The missing link is the program to set the device to transmit to a certain fm frequency.
I need an FM transmitter (with RDS support) that can be controlled via the linux kernel, preferably connected via USB.
Recommend a good programmable USB-based FM transmitter?
I have investigated an architecture with i2c-tiny-usb interfaced with a Silicon Labs si4713, but the additional circuitry to get it to work it too much. (I'm not an electronics engineer).
I want to install Ubuntu on many different new user's systems from a distance. I am looking for the simplest cleanest way to pull this off. These systems will only boot Ubuntu....no dual boot systems. Plus, I need a way to accommodate different size Hard drives such that the entire hard drive is used. There will be a novice computer user on site who can insert a cd or dvd for me and boot the machine.
To be sure that the remote desktop was working, I tried from home, where I have both the laptop I want to connect to and the laptop from which I make the connection. It worked without any problem, but now I'm trying to connect from my work place and it's not working anymore. Both are connected to the same VPN, so I don know where the problem comes from.
I ran two scans in Zenmap: 1) Quick scan plus and 2) Quick Traceroute. Quick scan plus, under the Nmap Output tab, has a field called "Network Distance". The Quick Traceroute report under the same tab lists the HOP and RTT time. I was thinking that for a given server, the value for the Network Distance would be the same as the HOP field when initiating the scans from the same server, but they are not.
bonjour; voici mon probleme, j un serveur ftp sous redhat, comment faire pour creer les utilisateurs, (mais pas des utilisateurs locaux), c-a-d, les utilisateurs peuvent acceder au serveur ftp distant partir du client ftp (dans une autre machine), par mot de passe et identifiant. merci de me donner la rponse si c possible dtaille. merci beaucoup.
what i'm trying to do is create some distance between sets of child nodes in my freemind maps. See the attached png file to see what im getting at. Is there a way to do this, other than using clouds?
For some reason, ubuntu cannot find local wireless networks. In fact, the Broadcom wireless card Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n seems to be incompatible with ubuntu. I've tried numerous 'solutions' on the Internet, but none of them seem to work on my computer. Tutorials I've visited have recommended downloading the b43 drivers from the Synaptic package manager and also the bcmwl-kernal-source package. Nevertheless, the wireless never turns on and Additional Drivers never shows anything at all. After several exasperating hours of trying to get my wireless running I've decided to turn to the forum for help. I'm sure there's probably more information I should supply, but I'm honestly not sure what that would be.
I'm running OpenSuse 11.4 with kernel (2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop i686) and KDE 4.6.00 "release 6".When I first installed the system the KNetworkManager found my wireless network. After entering my details it suddenly couldn't find it any more and hasn't found it since (even after re-install). My network is definitely working. I did try and set it up with ifup but it still couldn't find any network. Unfortunately I don't know anything about networks even less about wireless ones. Many thanks in advance.
I find any wireless networks, except mine. Moreover, my wifi works, because I can surf with the university connection.But the network works, because I can connect to it both with Windows and with Ubuntu.I have a Broadcom 4321 like wireless network card, opensuse 11.4 and the default network manager.
I'm running the latest Ubuntu Desktop Edition as a second operating system (over my Windows Vista), and I'm having trouble with my wireless internet. I'm picking up signal for 7 other networks, but not mine. And I can't figure out how to make it search for more. If it's relevant I have a WPA2 Personal network set up, that is received on my PC when I run Vista and on my XP laptop (which I'm on now).
I have a MSI A6000 laptop (the laptop that won't accept 10.10 because of the nvidia card) so finally I opted to get Ubuntu 9.10. I successfully installed with a dual boot.
There are two problems though that I have ran into.
1. Ubuntu 9.10 is not picking up wireless networks.
2. The Ubuntu graphics (icons, taskbar and windows) are much to large. I am guessing this has to do with the Nvidia card (nvidia GeForce 8200m G).
I have an HP Netbook that has Linux MintI have absolutely no issues with awired connection, however my internal wireless will not search and find wireless networ in range. It appears I have one saved (my home network) and I can connect to that, however, if I take my laptop to school or work, it will not find any networks to connect to. On a side note, I have no icon on the taskbar indicating wireless, and I used to have one. I have no idea where it went or what happened. I can answer most questions you may have but im a relatively new linux user (but I have a coworker that "knows all" and could help answer a question that I cannot.
I have bought a dell inspiron 1545 laptop and have problem with wireless before this it has a ubuntu os default but I install now only fedora. When I using ubuntu have no problem with wireless and it came and connected. But now fedora 11 does not find the wireless servers. maybe i must install its drivers for wireless?
I am new to Linux and i just installed f15 kde on my computer. I have a wifi usb adapter and it is recognized and everything, however, i cannot seem to find/enable wireless and the wireless tab in the network manager is greyed out. Also, from reading other posts i believe there should be an option to 'Enable wireless' when left clicking the network interface icon in the toolbar. All I see is is 'Enable networking'.

dmesg:
iwconfig:
I had Ubuntu installed before and it worked fine. As far as I can tell all drivers and firmware are working fine so i just need to enable wireless networking i believe.
well traded my desktop for it and its a Dell Inspiron 1721. The Wireless was working fin when it had Windows vista on it but when I installed Ubuntu 9.10 The wireless just seemed to not exist. The LED wouldnt even turn on. So I installed wicd and then the wireless icon began working but it still won't find any wireless networks.
my Ubuntu cant find wireless driver while liveCD can. How can i fix it? I used Ubuntu 9.10 . Pls help me!!! im a newbie =.=" Some ppl say i should use wicd to set wireless.. but when i try to install that deb file, it says "wireless manager" is still there so it cant run. So wat should i gonna do? i mean how can i "uninstall" a program on Ubuntu 9.10?
I have recently switched my samsung n130 with windows 7 starter to the ubuntu netbook remix. When I go onto it, it doesn't even look for a wireless connection. All there is is a wired auto ethos. How can i get my netbook to recognize my wireless connection in my house?
I am trying to configure a Travelmate 2490 to connect to my wirelessr router, a TP-Link TL-WR941ND. It does not show up in the list when I use network manager. However when I look to see if there is a driver for my wireless network in the computer it seems to find one. I am quite a beginner so some basic troubleshooting would be great.
Have Ubuntu 10.10 on Toshiba Laptop and Brother Wireless printer HL-2170W Everything worked OK and could install printer and print. However now system will not find printer, only thing I can think of that is different is that I installed all updates a few nights ago. If I go to System/Admin/Printing/Add Printer/Find - it will not find it. Have removed and reinstalled the Cups printer config tool. I am new to Linux. System will print when booted to Vista.
I was using ubuntu 9.04 and everything was working flawlessly with my network. The only problem with 9.04 is that it was unsupported and I couldn't install the packages I wanted to such as Cairo dock so I decided to upgrade to 9.10 which is a lot better. However I ran into a problem that I never had on 9.04. I cant connect to MY wireless network (my Belkin wireless card can detect networks but not mine) I have a netgear router WNDR3700v2 with WPA2 encryption. I thought that the encryption was the problem so I turned it off and ubuntu could still not find the SSID through the network manager. My SSID broadcast is on.
Have been working on a compaq 610 (64-bit) wireless drivers. I have installed all drivers available for wireless devices from its repo but still, the wireless device isn't working. it does fine in windoz.
im not getting anysound through my tv i have the driver for the graphics card wich was downloaded as a restricted driver.
my main display is my tv wich is plugged by HDMI, now i know its not windows so obv its not guna run anything windows related. by a freind who refferd me to linux said something about a wrapper wich means nothing to me as i am new to this, my other issue i have is i cant find a driver for my wireless dongle its a belkin n, if thats any help, i tried looking in obvious places like the manufactures site for the driver but i cant find any :S. i am having to use an old wirless card that only gets a 1 bar signal,
I like to do a lot of my tasks through the command line, and was wondering, is there a way to see all the wireless networks available in the terminal? I tried 'iwlist scan', and it said all the interfaces do not support scanning. Is there anything I can do?
How do you find one that runs in USB and how do you find it when it runs from a pci port. i already know that you might be able to find the kind of driver that is required to run the device
Lots of people have accomplished this by using aircrack but some operating systems can't install aircrack (not to mention that the use of some software is illegal depending on where you live) so i want an alternative.
