Ubuntu :: Compatible AMD-64 PCI Or USB Wifi Adapter
Dec 7, 2010
Having moved my computers into a "new" office in my house, I have no network cables. Had fun times trying to run a network cable, ultimately stopped due to unknown block in the vertical wall and fear of drilling through something important. I have strong WIFI signal to this room.
I tried plugging in my Netgear WPN111, didn't work. Works on my Win7 box, and I need one on that anyway, so I'd prefer to get another wifi card, be it a PCI, PCIE, or USB dongle. I would prefer the USB dongle since I could then use it elsewhere if need be. I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. The cpu is an Intel quad-core 920, with 8GB ram.

I got my UGA video adapter in, when purchasing it I saw on its requirements that is showed it had linux support. However, when plugged it in and restarting no image but the default green image was shown. All wires are check and are plugged in. However, I am not seeing on the computer monitor and no 2nd monitor is found on the monitor settings. Also I would like to note that according to a little research, is that the usb video adapter uses displaylink. I am using Ubuntu 11.04, classic ubuntu and 2D unity desktop.

Just installed FC13 on old laptop, (had FC11). Wifi card is recognized, but won't work. Instead of messing with ndiswrapper, etc., I am looking for a list of compatible cards or chipsets for cards that work with FC13. Anyone know where I can find such a thing? Or, can anyone recommend a specific card that works right out of the box with FC13? Need a cardbus card, PCI, not a USB.
lspci:

i tried following the readme file included in the driver of the usb network adapter but seems its not exact.
any ideas on how i can configure it manually? KDE does not detect any wifi device. .(of course since no driver is installed yet).
i used my desktop (win***)with DSL connection and installed the driver of the usb net adapter.. made it as the access point. . so my laptop detects the desktop as wifi spot.

Fedora 12. Since I don't have a direct connection, I'm wondering how wifi would be or is enabled when roaming. Is there an application that would allow adjusting/ choosing the network which would be compatible with sugar's environment?

I started yesterday off wanting to install this USB wifi adapter on my PC (which is mini-itx so has additional pci slots) [URL] it has the Ralink 3070 chipset. I tried everything I found when googling, nothing came close to working, this was in Fedora12. So I gave up and installed Ununtu 10.04, hoping for better luck there. Ubuntu will recognise the presence of a wifi adapter, here's the output from iwconfig
[Code]....
But it sees no wifi networks and generally won't do anything; I don't think it has the right driver. Rosewill does list a (linux) driver and so does Ralink, but again, neither of these come close to working. has anyone gotten this adapter or chipset to work in ubuntu?

Is this possible? and if so how? Basically the PC in my sig connects to the Internet through a Wireless Adapter..etc. I have another tower PC, running Ubuntu that sits next to it - doing nothing and has no internet connection. (My son uses it to play tux paint etc). I would love to be able to connect the Tower PC to My PC via an ethernet cable? and share the Wireless Connection on my PC?

My laptop has an internal wireless g "adapter" (for lack of a better word) and I plugged in a very cheap and very small ASUS wireless N adapter later on. The ASUS adapter has better bandwidth (again for lack of a better word) but isn't as high quality of a link as the internal adapter is.The laptop appears to be using the internal adapter, but i want it to use the ASUS adapter.

I have another thread started [URL] asking for support on configuring a Netopia TER/GUSB-N USB Wireless Adapter. But, I figured it would be interesting to get some opinions about other wireless adapters. I don't mind shopping on eBay for a new adapter or purchasing one at Walmart or BestBuy. So basically, I wanted to find out which wireless adapters are guaranteed to work out of the box after installing Debian. I am setting up webcam servers throughout my house and want to use the same hardware as much as possible. So if anyone has any recommendations on a wireless adapter that is proven to work and work well, please let me know.
Here are three that I can get pretty cheap at Walmart: Belkin N150 Enhanced Wireless USB Network AdapterNetgear WG111 Wireless-G 54Mbps USB 2.0 AdapterCisco - Valet Connector (Wireless N USB Adapter) AM10-4A

I've just upgraded my old laptop from xubuntu to ubuntu 10.10 and I have some connectivity problems with my usb adapter Netgear WG111v3. On xubuntu I had no problems with connecting on the network but with ubuntu, it says I have good reception but it doesn't connect on the network (rarely it does, but for a very short time). I have another laptop currently running on ubuntu 10.04 and it has no problems at all (however it has an internal usb card).

HPG62-144DX notebook, Windows 7 and considering Ubuntu. I installed 10.10 and tried to get my wifi running but that wouldn't work. I had a connection only sometimes and it broke up after 5 minutes. Once I got a webpage but annoyingly slooow. Got the advice to update drivers and stuff. But the wifi connection is the only one I have...
Went back to 10.4 32-bit. Booted from CD and will keep it that way until this is sorted out. Now I see my wifi hotspots directly and I have no problem to establish a connection. The icon shows 3 bars quality. Network Tools says: Wlan1 = Realtek, Transmitted bytes xxx Received bytes yyy, no errors, link speed = 1Mbps, State = active. Looks good!
The only minor thing here is that enabling/disabling my internal Atheros antanna also enables/disables my Alfa USB Wifi adapter (based on Realtek 8187) but who cares. A bigger problem is: when I start Firefox it doesn't come up with a webpage. It just keeps on saying: "loading". At the bottom of the screen it keeps saying "Looking up" for ages. Nothing further.

Okay I've got a Netgear N-150 WNA 1100 USB WiFi adapter, it doesn't work in Ubuntu it's not supported. There should be a way to make it work with ndiswrapper. I tried and failed before and due to other non related circumstances I had to reinstall Ubuntu. What are the steps to install ndiswrapper and it's dependency's on a fresh Ubuntu installation that cannot connect to the internet.

Works fine in Windows 7 on this PC. It's a 2 week old Dell Studio 1749, with no after market software installed aside from Ubuntu (as a secondary OS). When I plug the USB adapter in, the computer locks up. Only while in Ubuntu though. Not sure what the deal is. Chipset is RealTek RTL8187. The adapter is new, fresh out of the box.

The usb wifi adapter (airdata 150 s2 usb) which I have don't work well. The first time I put it on my computer does not work, so I installed this package [URL] but still not working. Then I search on intenet and found how to make it to work here [URL] that I do is add "blacklist rt2800usb" at the end of the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf . After that usb wifi worked, but I have others problems. Some times it disconnect from the Internet and web pages are loading slow and some times do not load at all. Does any one know how I can make it work well? I am using Debian Squeeze.

I bought this wifi adapter to use with my home server running debian Wheezy [URL] ....
I installed realtek-firmware and wireless-tools(including NetworkManager and wpasupplicant). I rebooting and plugged in the wireless adapter and it didn't load the driver. After further research, I found that this adapter required the RTL8188EU driver, which I had to install manually. After manually installing that driver using the source from the iwfinger github [URL] .... and rebooting, I plugged in the wireless adapter and it worked. The wireless adapter seemed to work but after testing it under load(downloading a several GB file from the server and uploading a several GB file to the server) I ran into issues during the tests. I'm not sure what is going on but it seems the driver is failing or it is disconnecting from the network. I checked dmesg and this is what I found,
Code: Select all[ 5478.544704] RTL871X: reg 0x80, usb read 4 fail, status:-71 value=0x0, vendorreq_times:1

[Code] ....
I'm somewhat new to Debian and I'm not sure what else to do here.

Out of all the Linux I have tried, this is the only one which will hibernate and startup again properly. But it has no drivers for the rtl2860 wifi adapter. I am thinking of using NDIS wrapper, but it may stop hibernation working. I see a guide which I am going to try to follow, but has anyone out there got this adapter working and hibernation still works?

I Have an HP Pavilion G6. I recently installed openSUSE after having no luck with another linux distribution. I was told openSUSE is more compatible with laptops, so I figured I'd give it a try. I am now facing the same problem I had been facing w/ the other distribution (Ubuntu). My Network Adapter doesn't seem to be recognized by any linux operating systems. It is a Ralink 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter. When I open the "network" tab, my home wifi is not listed, nor are any around me. In fact, I can't even open the "wireless" tab.
I've installed any recent drivers for my adapter, and I went to extensive lengths to try to solve the issue on my previous linux distribution. I don't know what output to give you from the terminal, nor do I really know any commands to look for anything. On a side note, I had been messing with my touchpad application, trying to set my preferences. I check the boxes for horiz. and vertic. scrolling with two fingers, and apply. They don't work. I check the boxes for using two finger tap to do something, and three finger tap to do something else.

Strange, just fired up my laptop and Wicd is telling me that I am on a Wired Network. Somehow, I have no clue as to how but my wireless connection is now being interpreted as a wired one.

Using a USB ISO, I recently installed Debian 8.0 Jessie (64-bit, Xfce DE) to a new computer. I usually lose my Wifi connection after 1-3 minutes when donwloading/uploading at around max. speed 4 Mbps/512 kbps. Sometimes it will last 15+ minutes.
When lightly browsing it can usually stay connected for 15-30 minutes. I have to disable and enable Wifi using NetworkManager to connect again. If I remember correctly, there were problems with the Wifi connection even during the installation of Debian.
This Wifi USB adapter works fine on my old computer with Debian 7.7 (32-bit). No problems with the Wifi connection yesterday on my old computer during 10+ hours of activity.
This Wifi adapter also works fine on this new computer when I boot from a live USB (Rescatux 0.30.2) downloading and uploading at max. speed for 1+ hour.
I already tried some suggestions I found online, but they didn't work:
* changing Wifi channels between 1, 6, 11 in my router settings
* changing WPA-WPA2 to WPA2 in my router settings
* ignore IPv6 in NetworkManager
* change probe_wait_ms from 500 ms to higher value by adding Code: Select alloptions mac80211 probe_wait_ms=1000 or Code: Select alloptions mac80211 probe_wait_ms=3000 to /etc/modprobe.d/mac80211.conf and rebooting
* disable Power Management for Wifi adapter (not supported)
* ...
I can also post the output of commands from Rescatux or my old computer if needed.
Output of commands on Debian 8.0 64-bit (I edited out some info, MAC, ...; not sure if that is important):
Code: Select alluname -a

I dual-boot Jessie with Windows 10, and I recently guessed that the 'fast boot' (hibernate on shutdown) feature of Windows doesn't properly shut down the RTL8188EU NIC plugged into my PC. So when I boot into Debian, it isn't properly recognised by the driver and I have to completely shut down the PC to make it work.
Is there a way to automatically cut the power to the wireless NIC on startup and then reenable it so I don't have to do this?
