Ubuntu Installation :: Maverick - Wireless Broken On ASUS EEE PC 901
Oct 1, 2010
When booting from the netbook USB, there are two wireless connection stages:
the first appears at the "TRY/INSTALL" selection screen, and after supplying the keyring password, the connection appears to succeed.
the second appears on the desktop, after selecting "TRY"; the keyring dialogue appears & seems to work, but then the network login dialogue pops up, and refuses to connect.
Both my Acer machines connect to the same AP under Maverick and the EEE PC works in Lucid.

After upgrading to Maverick I found that lsusb command would hang or omit any device I plugged in (flash drive or portable hard disk)
So I did
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*usb*
and
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*udev*
using packages from a lucid install I had on another laptop which didn't have the USB problem.Now everything is fine. Maverick has some problem with USB.

Mentioned post - [URL]... I was/am also having the same problem that was described above and fixed it with either 'nomodeset' or 'i915.modeset=0', however, once I installed Gnome (part of the "Ultimate Server Guide"), I had one of the following happen...
-On Maverick, it would continue to boot in the console and running commands like startx would result in an error (no screen) -On Lucid, it stopped booting into the server all together (even with the above fixes). Once it boots into the server (about 6-7 seconds later), I'll see a bunch of reddish square artifacts on the screen and the HD activity will stop and the screen will remain on, but nothing will be displayed.
I've searched high and low for help on this and nothing seems to fix the problem. I consider myself very technical but my linux experience is only fair/good. Mostly from Unix experience in college and messing around with Ubuntu Desktop on my netbook.

I have an ASUS UL30VT laptop with
Code:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 064e:a136 Suyin Corp. webcam.I am running Ubuntu Maverick 64-bit. The Cheese webcam application shows my camera picture correctly, but Skype shows it upside down. I have tried installing modified/updated libv4l from [URL] and manually extracting the 32-bit maverick libv4l into /usr/lib32, with no luck. Skype keeps showing the picture upside down. Also the V4l Control Panel seems not to affect the picture in Skype. The camera uses the uvcvideo driver.

I have installed a Maverick machine and was utterly annoyed by the removal of XDCMP chooser in GDM (why in the world one would do this?!). The common wisdom seemed to install xdm or wdm instead.
I did try both of them (dpkg-reconfigure gdm and select xdm or wdm), BUT none is working. The only relevant point I found in xdm log: it fails to start X correctly, where spawned X instance claims that no usable screens can be found.
At the same time, gdm starts just fine.
Was anyone successful in getting any of these running?

On a new ASUS eee PC 1015P, the Windows 7 o/s supplied works fine. Experimenting with a Fedora 14 Linux o/s, currently just booting to a Live User system on a USB Stick, there is no wireless networking. In case it is relevant, the wireless LAN Card details (as reported from lspci) are: Ralink RT3090 802.11n 1T/1R Wireless LAN Card Driver Version 3.1.6.1 Should I be expecting wireless to be working on the USB version, do I need to do a full install to get wireless or is it maybe a drivers problem?

I recently upgraded to Maverick and am loving it. Converting over my various scripts to work on the new box I notice that my video trascoding script, which uses mencoder to re-encode video as h264, now does not work.
Code:
mencoder $inpfile -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3:q=3 -ovc x264 -x264encopts crf=22:threads=auto:subq=4:bframes=2:b_pyramid:weight_b:turbo=1 -ofps 25 -o $outfile
For a long time this has worked just fine but the command basically bombs out every time with
Code:
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.
I tried using the medibuntu mplayer/mencoder but still no dice.
Does anyone know how I can get this important functionality back?

I recently tried to upgrade my graphics card. I had an Intel GMA 950, and upgraded to a PNY Nvidia GEForce 8400GS with 512 DDR I installed the card, and was unsuccessful in getting it to work, but while using the onboard graphics I updated the drivers in ubuntu to use the Nvidia proprietary drivers. I went into a cycle of rebooting and fiddling. booting into Ubuntu was successful with the onboard card, however I only got a command line. I used nano to change my xorg.conf from saying
Driver "nvidia". I simply deleted this portion in the hope that X11 would simply think on its feet. Onboard graphics wouldn't deliver any X session after that. I eventually got the card to work after futzing with the BIOS settings, however once I tried to boot, I got the error "init : ureadahead main process (264) terminated with status 5" after numerous upgrades, my GRUB menu has several kernels, however none of them would boot properly, including recovery sessions.
I decided to boot into a livecd to edit my xorg.conf in a Live environment, but I was unsuccessful, the LiveCD (simply Maverick Meerkat, after trying Karmic Koala) got stuck in a loop of not being able to detect media in /dev/sr0, which is very puzzling. So now I'm stuck with a computer with a functioning video card and nothing else.

After upgrading my laptop from 10.10 to 11.04 I can no longer connect to my home wi-fi. It was working flawlessly for months before the upgrade. The network manager just keeps spinning and nothing happens.dmesg output just keeps showing this over & over again:

I recently purchased an Asus n10 wireless usb adapter to use with my media server, running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx). After spending several hours today with many of the threads (especially this one about the Asus n13) it seems that I've run out of ideas.
My network is running a hidden (non-broadcast) SSID ("Potato") with wpa2 personal encryption.
Here is the relevant information from lsusb:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0b05:1786 ASUSTek Computer Inc.
Iwconfig follows. The rest of the values, like link quality & etc, are all zero:
Code:
wlan0 802.11b/g ESSID:"Potato"
Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate: 0kb/s
And the kicker is that the interface doesn't seem to be available, despite the above reports. ifconfig wlan0 up produces:
Code:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable

i installed ubuntu on my netbook after having a successful install on my asus g51 laptop.
everything works fine except the wireless. for some reason the netbook wont pick up internet via the ethernet connection so i went and got the drivers via synaptic and copied the packages plus the dependencies required (just needed one - dkms). dkms installed fine, but there was an error when i tried to install bcmwl-kernel-source. ubuntu still sees it as installed tho looking in ubuntu software center.
i rebooted just for shits and giggles, cuz it still didnt work. no dice. then i tried to check in that section that shows drivers that arent allowed in a default install as per another thread. its not in there.
my situation doesnt let me connect this netbook via wire and the only way i can get software for it is to download it via my ubuntu connection on my laptop.

I have been using ubuntu troublefree for some month, but yesterday, suddenly the wireless internet connection stopped working. It happened after i used the turn off wireless network shortcut, now i cant turn it on again (usually this works fine).The situation is now, that when i click on the tray icon showing connection it says, wired network disconnected (it never said this before), then if i click on the wireless shortcut it also says wireless disconnected... But if i click again it doesnt show connections, the disconnected sign just disappears...?

I trouble someone to provide some assistance on how to properly install this thing and get it to work? I have been all over the web trying all sorts of different "tutorials", but most of them start off okay, and then I get errors in the terminal, or the commands in the tutorials become specific to one person's particular system, and I can go no further. I really want to use Ubuntu 11 on a system that currently is running the reprehensible Windows Vista, and if I could just get this Wireless receiver to work, I would be able to format Vista into oblivion.
So, can someone start at the very beginning, and help me through this? Please keep in mind that I am as green as a leprechaun when it comes to Ubuntu, so please make instructions verbose and geared to a layperson, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. So, the unit is plugged in, and ready to go. What's first?

I've tried a few suggestions in similar threads.. to no avail. I thought I had it fixed a few days ago when I noticed that the wireless would randomly disconnect only on battery power. So I tried "iwconfig wlan0 power off" and then reconnected. It worked, for a while, but then after minutes/hours later it will disconnect and stay disconnected until I restart. If you need anymore information, let me know. I might need to be walked through the process; though, as I'm a worthless noob.

I am attempting to setup wireless in Slackware 13.37 for the first time and while I found a lot of guides I am still unable to connect to my router without starting X and using wicd. I'll post my rc.inet1.conf and rc.wireless.conf along with wireless-settings.conf from wicd. wireless-settings.conf
Code:

I just installed slackware 13.1 on my notebook...all instalation step was success. But then everything is just like "a jungle" for me. So there will be a lot of next question post from me for this time, i wonder about the LED wireless that always ON. The Hotkeys is work i thought, because when i on/off it and i check it by "iwconfig" tx transmits going to off/0dB.

Running Ubuntu 10.04 Unable to get Ubuntu to find the ASUS USB Wireless to connect for network. I got the Broadcom to work using ndiswrapper but the range on it is unbearable meaning I have to be in the same room as the router. Hoping this has a much better range.

I just got my desktop set up with Ultimate Edition, an OS based on Ubuntu. For more information on my OS, please click: here. I am using UE version 2.6, which is based on Ubuntu kernel 2.6.32, so any Ubuntu users.I've gotten my wireless usb keyboard and mouse to work fine, and my speakers are ok, so I know my usb hardware is working properly. The Situation: I can't get my new ASUS USB-N10 wireless adapter to work. My computer hasn't recognized it, and there are no usable instructions on the driver CD for installing the device in Linux.ASUS claims this adapter works on Linux systems with 2.6-type kernels, but I've been trying for 2 weeks to no avail.

I currently know next to nothing about networks in Linux (yes I am working on that). I have just brought a Asus n13 wireless adapter after failing to get my laptop wireless working. I am using the 2.6.32-5 Debian squeeze kernel. The device connected once after I did the following:
apt-get update
modprobe rt2870sta
iwconfig
ifconfig wlan0 up
The device connected to wifi and was working fine. I then shutdown and rebooted to see if it would automatically connect on start up and now, although nothing seems to have changed and even after I repeated the steps above it did not connect. The network manager applet as well as listing the asus adapter(as ralink 802.11 WLAN) lists a Texas instruments PCI1410 pc card cardbus controller which i didn't before.
This is the output of iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 Ralink STA ESSID:"" Nickname:"RT2870STA"
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated

I just installed a fresh install of firmware-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso. During installation the wireless setup utility located my wifi-network and upon entering my WPA password it said it was connected. It didn't work however so I plugged in my ethernet cable and continued the install process hoping it would magically start working after that. No luck.
I went from an Arch Linux install with working wifi, and I dual-boot my box with Windows 7 with working wifi, so I know it's not the card or the distance from the router.

I haven't been able to find anything really useful on google either. Was hoping you guys could point me somewhere or explain a process that might work. What I've tried so far is downloading the driver from ralink and trying to follow their procedure for getting it setup. Following the readme I get lost at step 3 and attempting to make it, I get:
[boardbox@niflheim ~]$ cd Desktop/2010_07_16_RT2860_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.0
[boardbox@niflheim 2010_07_16_RT2860_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.0]$ make
make -C tools
[code]...
but this hasn't fixed my problem either. I can see networks but I can't connect to anything, so kinda still stuck at square one.
EDIT: Turns out in frustration and absent-mindedness I didn't reboot and that fixed it.

wired is fine and fast. Wireless connects but connection goes from 100% to 53% at random, making the connection pretty pointless to use.Probably get fixed in an update. I have tried uninstalling network manager and using wicd. No luck. Well, luck, as in I could connect, but exactly the same as Network Manager.The card is a Realtek RTL8191SEvB. Machine: Toshiba Satellite Pro L510. Any takers? Would really like to get this happening as everything in Maverick is working great apart from it.

I just got a new Asus Eee 1001P, and the wireless isn't working at all. I had an Asus EEE 1005HA before that and since both use the AR8132 network card I hoped it would be the same problem as with that, where installing the backports fixed the problem. However, that doesn't do anything. With the 1005HA the connection was only flaky and disconnected a lot, but the 1001P doesn't find any networks to connect to at all. Also, the mobile wireless will connect only once and after disconnecting every attempt to reconnect ends in that connection symbol spinning wildly until I tell the network manager to disconnect. On Kubuntu it doesn't even connect once.I never had that problem with the 1005.

In a nutshell, it outlines a rather daft snag when running Ubuntu (10.04 and on) with regards to strange and quite frankly ludicrous wireless behavior concerning RaLink cards in Asus netbooks. The M.O. of a netbook is portable netz, yet it seems ENTIRELY impossible with this hardware setup Any geniuses care to have a stab? All outputs are included in the original post.
