Ubuntu :: MSI Wind U230 Can't Connect Over Wireless?
Jan 20, 2011
I've been trying to connect gt my wirelss running on my an MSI wind u230. First I tried with the default configuration; it could not find any wireless networks. Then I tried the Ralink 3090 driver from Markus Heberling's PPA; it still could not find any wireless networks. then I tridading the followwing to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<code>
blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib
</code>
and still could not find any wireless networks. Finally, I used the ndiswrapper with the windows driver. I can now find the wireless networks but when I try to connect, I get a 'bad password" on encrypted wetworks and "cannot opbatain IP address" errors on unencrypted networks.

I'm not sure where to post this but seeing as how, at least as far as I can tell, the problem is related to the wireless card or drivers, I figure this is as good a place as any. On to the problem, I recently install openSUSE 11.2 Gnome on my MSI Wind U100 netbook. Everything appeared to work fine right after install, wireless and everything. However, soon after that I began having issues where the screen would freeze and I would be unable to do anything until I force restarted the computer.
Now I believe the problem is related to my wireless as this problem occurs most frequently when I am either downloading a lot of data over wifi or fiddling with the network. I have had it freeze many times while switching wireless networks or while experiencing wireless issues such as an intermittent connection. I may be completely wrong in my above analysis of the problem, but I figured i need to post somewhere to get started. If anyone feels this post may get more help in another forum, please just let me know.

I've searched on-line and through these forums and I am still not able to find a solution to my problem. To start off, I do not know if my wireless card is turned on or off. I press Fn+f8 key and the LED turns on but Ubuntu does not detect the wireless networks. I am able to connect using the Ethernet port.
ps: I have already updated the Ubuntu software using the commands:
Quote:sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
My Product:Quote:RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
Ra-link makes a Linux driver for this card but from what I understand I should not install the driver unless I absolutely have to (do to the fact that it does not automatically update through the operating system) here is the link to the driver (btw, I do not know how to install driver on Ubuntu,

So I have an MSI Wind U100 which when plugged in is ok, but when I unplug it for a second it yells at me and says that my battery is critically low and needs to hibernate, then it hibernates, regardless of which button (cancel or ok) I hit. Then when I resume from hibernation still unplugged it acknowledges that it's at the appropriate battery level. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and I couldn't find any clues in dmesg.

I have a MSI netbook, U100, on which I've installed Ubuntu 10.10. This keeps disconnecting from the network, though the applet shows me that the netbook found it. I mention that I have a wireless network and another laptop, with WIN 7, where I have no problems with the Internet connection. I also have a 3G USB modem, which let me connect without problem.

I have an MSI Wind U120 netbook (Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 1 GB RAM). I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Remix. Ever since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04, my system has experienced unrecoverable freezes when running on battery. The system reliably freezes when resuming from the suspend or hibernate modes when running on battery. It seems to load back up successfully but then freezes before I get a chance to enter my password. Yesterday and today I also noticed that the system freezes while idle and running on battery! This is even more disconcerting.
I have some experience as a Linux user (including using the terminal & editing configuration files) but not much experience as a Linux system administrator.

I'm currently studying linux at my local college as part of Networking IT Course. We were instructed to install centos onto a VMWare virtual machine but it didn't run too efficiently on my MSI Wind and restricted my networking in WinXP. I have already got Ubuntu Netbook Release installed on the Wind alongside the WinXP install that came with the machine. However everytime i try and install Centos 5.3 in a 9640MB free space Partition it says:
Quote:Could not allocate requested partitions:
Partitioning failed: Could not allocate
partitions as primary partitions.
Not enough space left to create partition
for /boot.

My wireless (Toshiba laptop, 10.04 64 bit) is just hanging when trying to connect. It was working fine but now nothing. My Wireless antennae is on and my other laptop can connect with no problems. I have restarted the router and the laptop twice.

I LOVE Ubuntu,but the sketchiness with WIFI in Ubuntu is really frustrating (not that it's Ubuntu or GNU/Linux's fault necessarily). I'm trying to find a good WIFI card replacement for my girlfriend's MSI Wind u90, but seems both the Intel 3945abg and the Intel 4965agn - the cards usually recommended for that model - seem to be spotty at best in all recent versions of Ubuntu including the last long-term release. Has anyone had success with a Broadcom 1020 (in any laptop but especially in a netbook)?

i recently got an msi wind U100x running on linux suse enterprise 10 sp1. i am totally new to linux and i believe that msi wind is not helping. i remember at some point seeing an icon in my toolbar to indicate available wifi networks, but it disappeared a few weeks ago, and i was never able to locate it again. out of dispair i reset the computer to factory settings. all i have is "no network connection" icon, and when you click on it you have both enable networking and enable wireless.
i read somewhere in help that i should have a knetworkmanager, but i can't find it anywhere. all i see in my control center is network card, and when i go in there, i go to 'user controlled with networkmanager' and i see 'micro-star international ethernet controller not configured'. before i reset to factory settings i used to have a wireless card as well.
in a word: i am totally lost and don't know where to start. any step by step to help me connect again?

I just installed 10.10 on a my new Aspire One Acer netbook and I got a mobile broadband USB stick from Wind mobile.
The stick is activated because it works on my 20 GB Windoze 7 O.S. but it doesn't work at all on my 140 GB Ubuntu O.S. Both systems are on the same machine so I know it's not a hardware problem either.
Here's what happens: I log on to Ubuntu, plug in the stick and I select the "New mobile broadband GSM connection" in the network connections menu.
From there I selected my country (Canada) and my mobile provider (Wind Mobile) than I selected my plan (Mobile Broadband) and my APN (broadband.windmobile.ca).
Then the stick blinks slowly and the network icon looks forever for a connection but no matter how long I wait no connection ever establishes. My roomate has it working on his HP laptop Ubuntu but no luck on mine. The stick just keeps blinking, a steady light indicates a connection.

I bought an MSI Wind U135 Netbook. It came with Windows 7 Starter, so I installed Xubuntu and Enlightenment first thing. I have gotten everything to work except for the audio. It seems that there is an audio driver installed and in use (The Intel HD Audio driver), however, I can turn all channels up and nothing plays. The beep driver works, and if I turn the Microphone channels up too high then I get loud feedback from the speakers, but nothing else will play. I have tried multiple kernels, including from Ubuntu Netbook edition. All have the same problem. I was unable to determine what audio card is actually present in the machine, MSI's website is a pain, and I couldn't find anything conclusive online. I purchased the laptop in Taiwan, but I believe it is the same as the US version hardware-wise, except for the Chinese on the keyboard obviously.

wlan0 Authentication capabilities :
WPA
WPA2
CIPHER-TKIP
CIPHER-CCMP
Those are my authentication capabilities, obviously. I am using a WEP encryption for my wireless router and according to this, it will not allow me to connect. Is there anyway to allow that? The wireless card works just fine in Windows, even on the same network encryption type. Using a Intel Wireless/Pro 4965 ag. Note* this is my mother's router and whatnot. She won't change it the encryption type.

I installed a Tenda W322P wireless card in my dual-boot PC running both Windows XP and Ubuntu 11.04. The card worked straight out of the box on XP, but does not function correctly under Ubuntu. My apologies for any missing/irrelevant information, I am having to post this from the Windows boot so the Ubuntu settings are not directly available at the same time as internet access.I followed the process detailed here htURL...to install and configure the driver (I believe from reading other sites that this card is the Ralink RT3062 chipset), blacklisted the original RT2860 driver that was in use (couldn't even get the card to scan for wireless networks with the default driver) and restarted the interface.
Since then, sudo iwlist scan can find my wireless router but when I attempt to connect to it, it seems to enter a loop of requesting the WEP key then pausing for a while before re-requesting the key. I know I have the key value correct because it is copied and pasted from the same text file I used to copy and paste into the passkey field on the Windows boot. Attempting to connect to the router using Ubuntu also has the rather unfortunate side-effect of crashing the wireless router, killing off all other device connections until the router has been reset.

On Opensuse 11.2, I would like to connect my ipod touch to a wireless ad-hoc network of my laptop. I have no wireless WIFI-router at home, so I have to use the laptop as a router to the internet. I know I have to enter a static IP adres and my router's address, but where ? I haven't found any place under network tools to do this, only saw some fields with SSID's and MAC addresses to fill in.

I've got openSUSE 11.3 running via liveUSB on a netbook and no matter how many times I try, I cannot get wireless to connect to my network.
My network is:
- non-broadcast
- WPA2 Personal
- G
The netbook is fairly recent from Asus and wireless works perfectly with Fedora 11 and Windows XP.

I clicked "Network Settings", and I found that the ip address was wrong, which is "192.168.1.10/24", and netmask field is empty, so I modifed the configuration file located in /etc/sysconfig/network, named ifcfg-wlan0, added one line(NETMASK= '255.255.255.0'), saved it and reboot the system. After rebooting the system, I still found the ip address is wrong and netmask field is empty, so I have to use ifup command to activate my card manually every time the system starts.

I am having a little trouble connecting to my wireless network. Running Fedora 10 32 bit.I'm trying to connect to a hidden wireless network. I updated the firmware for my driver but apparantly the driver is still not working. Broadcom has a driver from their website for Linux 32 bit systems. Should I attempt to install it? I read a post where the driver is built into the system kernel. If so I would need to blacklist the one of the drivers. Correct?
[justin@justin ~]$ iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wmaster0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

I can connect to my wireless router while logged in as root, but not under my user account. I went into YAST and the user maintenance area and gave myself every permission (Add, Edit, Delete Users or Accounts), but kde network maanger will not allow me to connect to my router.

I'm moving from other distros. and I'm currently loving openSUSE and I'm probably going to stick with it for a long time.I have already googled for this, but I found no solution, but I figured this should be a common problem... Does google searches inside this forum?Now... for my problem, whenever I hibernate (suspend to disk) or sleep (suspend to ram) I can't resume my wireless connection nor connect to another.I don't know if this is an issue if I use cables, because I simply don't with my netbook:The hardware in question is an ASUS 1005HA eee pc, running openSUSE version is 11.3 fully updated. Didn't mess with wireless connections, nor kernel or hibernate settings

I have loaded the latest version of opensuse and I have everything working but I cannot connect to my wireless WPA2 network. I have downloaded the bcm43xx firmware using the method /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware I then restarted the network. The computer will now read the network card and will find networks but I cannot get it to connect at all. At first it would connect using ifup in yast but would disconnect after a few seconds. It would never connect through NM. I have a usb network card that works just fine. I am lost as to how to fix this problem.
