Ubuntu :: Force Scanning Of Wifi Networks After Suspend?

Dec 31, 2010

After I put my laptop in suspend mode and I resume it, it doesn't immediately detect the wifi networks. I have to wait for 5-10 minutes to see the various networks appearing.Is there a command I could run from the terminal to scan the wifi networks? I have tried the wcid application but I got some kind of conflict and then I removed i

Ubuntu Networking :: Random Creation Of Networks / Force It To Use Correct One Without Making Another?

Aug 2, 2011

Every time my wifi auto connects it gives me a strange message:

At the same time it makes a new network entry, overlapping the one previous:

It's usually a battle with the wifi and my re enabling the correct setting over and over and over again. Is there a fix for either the mysterious lack of selection in the first message, or a way to force it to use the correct one without making another?

Ubuntu :: Two Wifi Simultaneous Networks?

Jun 21, 2011

following a new motherboard install I've just done a clean install of 10.10. At first, I was using the default network manager wifi to connect to my router - I had the upturned radar beam type icon in the top panel showing me the strength of the signal and access, by right clicking on it, to things like Enable Networking, Enable Wireless, etc. I read that installing WICD via synaptic would install wicd and remove the default network manager, so this what I did. My wifi is OK but I still have my upturned radar type icon and a new WICD icon in the top panel. I was expecting the upturned radar icon to disappear - is this correct? If I right click on the radar icon I can click on the Edit Connections option and change things - it appears I have both the default network manager and WICD working at the same time.

Ubuntu Networking :: No Wifi Networks Showing Up?

Feb 27, 2011

got a dell inspirion 15r (i think), and it comes w/ win7 (I HATE Win7) so i made him let me dual-boot with ubuntu maverick meerkat. (he wouldn't let me get rid of win7 cuz thats what his parents use.) It installed successfully, so we booted into it, and there was no wifi networks. I thought it was because wifi was disabled so i press the button i think its F5 but still nothing. I thought it might have been the comp but i booted into win7 (Que the Beethoven's fifth)... and it worked in win7 (thats a first) can someone help me. Oh and i forgot i used that terminal command to unblock wifi

DELL Inspiron 1501 Broadcom BCM4311 is the wifi adapter.The problem I am having is that I cannot get to search for wifi networks. It looks like the driver and everything is there but the wifi is disabled for some reason.I installed the drivers provided by the "Additional Drivers" application and they do not work.I also followed this fix and I could see in the menu that the wifi was added but I was not able to click it or look for wifi's URL...

Ubuntu Networking :: Long Wifi Networks Last In The Available List?

Mar 10, 2010

I was on a car trip earlier, but we were stuck in traffic. The stop-go stop-go kind of BS. I pulled out my 9.10 laptop and figured I'd scan for wifi networks and see how good America was at securing their networks. (I work in IT support so it's one of those things I preach to no end yet people rarely listen).

I was using wifi radar, and picked up a truckload of networks every time we'd stop. But something didn't sit well with me. When I click on the network manager icon in the top gnome panel to see what networks were available, it never seemed to refresh.

Example - the first 5 networks I saw were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We would stop-go more and more and miles later when I'd see more networks in the area show up in wifi radar, yet hit my network manager, I'd STILL see networks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and not 30, 31, 32, 33, etc like I expected.

What kind of refresh time or cache or whatever does network manager have? I just didn't understand why I was seeing the original networks from 15 minutes/miles ago and it never seemed to update.

Ubuntu Networking :: Toshiba Satellite A215 Not Seeing Wifi Networks?

May 3, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 - 64bit install with an A215. The wifi was working fine until today. Ubuntu seems to detect the hardware, and it shows the interface as being 'up', however no networks show up in either the network manager or 'sudo iwlist scan'. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue, or if the hardware itself died.Here is the output of lspci:

Ubuntu Networking :: Won't Connect To Open (unsecured) WiFi Networks?

Jul 9, 2010

I have no problem with my wireless network at home, or visiting friends, but it won't connect to public, open, unsecured WiFi networks, eg hotels, trains, ships.I'm using Ubuntu v9.10, NetworkManager applet v0.7.996, on a Dell Inspiron 1750 laptop.If I left click on the NetworkManager, the available wireless networks are displayed and I can see the relevent open networks, named as expected and shown without the lock icon. I click on the relevent entry, watch a spinner for 30 seconds or so and then it drops off and I have no connection. This happens for "all" open connections.If I look at my defined Wireless Network Connections now, I can see, eg, "Auto Internet@Sea, Last used: never". Editing that connection:

Fedora Networking :: WiFi Not Reliable And Can't Change Networks?

Jul 24, 2009

Fedora 10 (dual boot w/ XP) on Dell Optiplex with a Dell wirelessntennaI am on a university campus with campus-wide wifi network (so no router). I have a wireless HP printer that I want to be able to print to using an ad-hoc connection. The wireless antenna, networking, and wireless printing are all working in Windows XP (so hardware is OK). However, on the linux side, the wifi is really really finicky.

When I first boot up to fedora, it usually connects no problem to the campus-wide wifi network. If I try to switch to the ad-hoc printer network (which it sees), will not connect and, furthermore, it will no longer connect to the campus-wide network (and sometimes it doesn't "see" this network at all). It seems that restarting the Network Manager service sometimes helps to reconnect to the campus-wide network, but not always and I can't connect to the ad-hoc regardlessNOTE: I'm just barely a linux user, and I didn't set up my system - don't assume that I did anything that would be common sense and, if you can, walk me through your suggestions.

Fedora Hardware :: BCM 4306 Can't See Any WiFi Networks / Resolve This?

Jan 13, 2010

I have FC 12 running and everything was working fine for about 2 weeks or so. Then today after I put my Daughter to bed, I booted up the laptop and it could not find any of the many WiFi networks that are present in my area, and when I tried to get it to connect to my home network through a saved configuration in the Network Connections Manager it kept asking for my WPA2 Password but it would not connect. So I got out my delopitated Cat-5 cable and tried to do an update and see if that would solve the problem. But alas it did not work (hence the posting of this tread ).

I even tried to unload the "B43" driver using code...

But that did not do the trick either. Is there any way to get it to work again without doing a re-install of the entire Operating System? I already had to do that, and it is a big pain in the A$$ because of a defective ATI Card in the laptop.

Ubuntu Networking :: No WiFi APs After Resume From Suspend / Hibernate

Aug 30, 2010

After I resume from hibernate with my cpu frequency manually set to the highest settings (2ghz) the network manager shows not wifi APs. "wlan0" shows under both ifconfig and iwconfig but "iwlist wlan0 scan" says no results. "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" also says no results. I've tried rmmod then modprobe with no luck. Rebooting is the only way I can get WiFi working.

I can get wifi working again by:
- rebooting
- changing the cpu scaling to a lower setting then hibernate/resume
- changing the cpu scaling to a lower setting then 'sudo rmmod ath9k; sudo modprobe ath9k;'

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with Atheros ar5008 (AR5BXB72) using ath9k drives
Code:
$ lspci |grep Atheros
0e:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.10 - In Network Manager Can View Wifi Networks Fine But Cannot Connect

Apr 28, 2011

I have been an Ubuntu user for a year or so. My level is still ultra n00b but I am trying. Whenever I update Ubuntu there is always a WiFi problem, always. So now I am having problems getting wifi to work in 10.10. In Network Manager I can view wifi networks fine but I cannot connect. I tried with wicd also but I got as far as "getting ip" and then it would hang up.

lspci

Code:

Code:

Code:

I am not sure what driver I am using as I don't know how to exactly ID my driver. I know there is a way to ID the driver using airodump-ng but I have yet to find it.
I have a feeling this is a driver issue as one time I was able to establish a connection that then dropped a few minutes later. I have a feeling I should be disabling/removing the current driver and replacing it with ipw3945 or possibly a driver ndiswrapped? The problem is I cannot figure out how to remove the current driver.

I was going to switch back to 9.04 but I thought I would try to manually figure this one out instead of taking the easy way.

Ubuntu Networking :: Atheros 9k WiFi Card Not Working After Suspend?

Jun 25, 2010

I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Although it has worked fine for the past couple of weeks, I have recently encountered a problem with my wireless card. It is an Atheros AR928X card on a Toshiba satellite U405D-S2874 model laptop. Recently, I attempted to put the computer into suspend mode for the first time. The computer failed to wake up, and I performed a hard reboot. After this, everything seems to work except for the wireless card. I am now unable to connect to any wireless network with my laptop, and the wireless manager doesn't seem to be working either.

Ubuntu Networking :: WiFi Disabled After Fixing Suspend Mode

Jan 9, 2011

After fixing an issue with sleep mode, my WiFi is automatically disabled on my Ubuntu installation on boot while the switch is on. For some reason, it seems that Ubuntu has an issue communicating with my BIOS. As a fix to this problem: I disabled the C4 sleep state. My Ubuntu installation now boots up fine but the LED on the WiFi indicator glows orange, indicating that it's off; while in Windows it glows blue, indicating that it's on.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wifi Takes A Minute Before It Tries To Connect After Boot/suspend

Oct 16, 2010

Basically when I login back from a suspend or after I boot the pc, the wifi takes 30seconds to a minute before it starts to connect. This makes it very annoying to have to wait for no reason.

Basically the issue is caused by the wifi not having a script to search for a network after a suspend.

I know Windows forward and backward but I am so new to linux it's just wrong. I just installed fedora (like 1hr ago) on and old toshiba laptop with a WiFi PC card. Everything seems to work fine except. My Networks connects to my home Wifi network but it will not connect to internet. When it connects the IP address isn't even close to being in the same range as my other laptops and PCs. Like I said I'm new to linux but I'm wanting to learn. Any fixes for this issue? Which linus book is the best one to read for a beginner? Other then not connecting to internet I have no complaints.

Fedora Networking :: Orinoco Silver PCMCIA Wifi Card Doesn't Find Any Networks In F11

Sep 21, 2009

I have Lucent Technologies Orinoco Silver 11 Mbps PCMCIA wifi card. It worked perfectly in Fedora 10, but after updating to Fedora 11 it stopped finding any wireless networks. The updating were done with automatic updating utility. The card works perfectly in Windows, I tested it today.

My laptop is HP nx6110 if that matters.

Here is the situation:

When I plug-out the card, the Network Manager disables wireless networking as it should. When I plug-in the card, wireless networking is enabled, so the system seems to recognize the card in some way.

If I try to connect to "Hidden wireless network" (because there isn't any wireless networks listed in the Network Manager) system tries to connect for a couple of minutes, and then asks wireless settings again. Orinoco card's lights DOESN'T blink normally when connecting to the network (one light should blink rapidly and one should light continuously, but both are blinking rarely or doesn't blink at all).

In System->Administration->Network in tab Hardware (hope those names are correct, I use Finnish version of Fedora...) is:

It seems that the card is detected right.

Here is what I have done to get the problem solved: In System->Administration->Network I have tried to connect to the wireless network manually (disabling the Network Manager). I can't get the connection. It gives me random error messages, sometimes "Check the cable" or something like that, sometimes just timeouts IP determination.

I have tried to connect different wireless networks, no connection. All tested networks worked with another computer.

No matter if I reboot or service network restart or plug-out plug-in the card... the problem still appears.

Tried to find (and reinstall) drivers:

Code:

No Matches found

Code:

Here is the output of lspci. The output is the same if the wifi card is connected or not.

Code:

LAN connection is working just fine.

Debian Configuration :: Wifi "disabled By State File" After Suspend

Mar 8, 2010

Using Squeeze, I wanted to get KMS + DRI2 and suspend/hibernate working with my radeon card using the Open source driver (my card: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M IGP (5955) PCIE (RC410) is no longer supported by the ATI/AMD proprietary driver). I know my card has problems with suspend/hibernate in User modesetting and from what I've read [URL] it has been solved for some only using KMS.

I followed this instructions by the Debian maintainer:[URL] Of course in reality the available version in experimental is now 6.12.191, and mesa 7.7 and libdrm-radeon1 are already in testing. Therefore I only had to get xserver-xorg-video-radeon from experimental and switch KMS on. It worked ok , except that when I tried to hibernate, it didn't even go into hibernate mode!...the screen went blank and the wireless led shut off, but the fan was running and the keyboard lights were on...

Aside from that I also got the following disquieting messages:

[drm:rs400_gart_adjust_size] *ERROR* Forcing to 32M GART size (because of ASIC bug ?)
radeon 0000:01:05.0: Wait MC idle timeout before updating MC
Failed to wait MC idle while programming pipes. Bad things might happen.

Ubuntu Networking :: Using Tether Or Ad-hoc Networks Causes Headaches With Other Networks?

Apr 16, 2011

I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.

What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.

I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.

Ubuntu :: Waking From Suspend, To Tell It Needs To Suspend Due To A Critical Low Battery?

If I suspend this toshiba satellite, and the battery is or gets low it will wake from suspend to tell me that it will need to suspend due to a critical low battery. Which is pretty dumb. I've experimented with this by plugging and unplugging the ac adapter.
