Ubuntu :: NetworkManager: "Create New Wireless Network" - "Create" Button Grayed Out?
May 28, 2010
EDIT: Whoops. Just realized that there is a Networking subforum. Apologies. In 10.04, I am able to get to the dialog in NM that asks for the network name and security for the creation of a new wireless network. However, the "Connect" button is grayed out and filling out all fields doesn't allow me to press it. I assume that this means that either there is a problem with my configuration or that my network card is not supported. Here is the lshw entry for my wireless card:
Code:
*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection
vendor: Intel Corporation
[Code]...
EDIT2: Well, I was able to make an ad hoc connection via "Edit Connections" This seems to be a bug in the NetworkManager dialog.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 and had no problems with wireless or wired. However, now it says Networking Disabled. When I click on it, everything is grayed out. My physical wireless button is on.

So Skype installed after an error with msttcorefonts (it seemed to resolve itself - not sure how), but now I am unable to create a Skype account. On the "Create a new Skype Account" screen I fill in all of my information and check the little box saying that I've read all of the licensing conditions, but the "Sign Up" button does not activate for me to click...it's just grayed out. My original installation error said that it was unable to install all dependencies, and that errors were encountered while processing msttcorefonts. Could these issues be related? How do I fix it?

My MythTV box has two interfaces:
A 10/100 Ethernet interface built into the motherboard. (Recognized as eth0)
A USB wireless dongle. Linksys, I believe. (Recognized as wlan0)
Both of these were working fine under FC8.
I recently performed a full reinstall, using Fedora 12.
Both network devices are recognized. I can configure them, using the Network Devices GUI that comes with KDE.
In the case of the wireless device, I entered all of the required information. (Copied in from the FC8 settings.)
Here's the problem. Whether I'm the root user or not, the "Enable" button is grayed out.
Any ideas? I had *no problem* with this device under FC8. The hardware "I see you" messages in /var/log/messages don't suggest any problems. I'm not leaving out any setting information.

My wifi used to work and I do not know what made it go off-line as I mostly use my wired connection. Running SuSE 13-3, GNOME, kernel 2.6.34.7-0.7-default on a HP laptop. I wanted to include some diagnostic and configuration downloads from my computer but I am being told I have 5 images included in my post when I Paste the text. Don't know why!

I've just switched from xub to lub, and I must say it's a lot lot faster. There's just one really annoying problem (I have no idea if this is in any way related to LXDE or if it's just due to 10.04): Network Manager only starts about a minute after the rest of the desktop. So my system boots up, I log in, see the applet, but it is greyed out (it tells me "Network Manager is disabled" or something similar). After a minute (approx), it suddenly comes to life and connects me. Now, I think this only happens when I have:
A) set the wireless connection to "all users"
B) given an empty password for the keyring
But when I cancel either of the two above, it doesn't stop it from happening. I've tried updating etc.. to no avail. I've also tried wicd, but for some reason installing wicd from synaptic doesn't remove Network Manager? Anyway, has anyone seen behaviour like this? Any suggestions for first steps to take to see where it's blocking?

I connected a USB Wireless Dongle (Sapido AU-4512S) on my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. I wanted to share my wired internet connection from my pc to my friend's laptop.
So, I did the following:
1. Installed ndiswrapper-utils, ndiswrapper-common and ndisgtk in Synaptic Package Manager.
2. Installed Windows 7 64bit driver of my USB Dongle through Wireless Network Drivers(ndisgtk)
3. Now it says, net8192su -- Hardware present: Yes
4. Created a Ad-hoc connection clicking on Network Manager > create new wireless network..
5. Edited the Name, set Security to WEP 128-bit Passphrase and entered my desired password.
6. Finally clicked Create but it says "Wireless Connection disconnected"
I'm thinking about maybe the problem is with my dongle so I checked by using the command:
Code:
which gives me information about wlan0
The next thing I did worsen the situation. I unplugged the USB dongle ang plugged it again. This time,
Code:
gives me no result anymore.
Code:
Also, the option that says "create new wireless connection" disappeared in my Network Manager Applet now.
Now I have no problem. To restore the "Create new wireless connection" in my Network Manager Applet and finally create a wifi hotspot using my wired connection from pc.
Code:

I thought configuring a vpn would be a piece of cake, but it seems I'm missing something.
I'm attempting to create a vpn (pptp) using the networkmanager (0.7.1). I enter the gateway (I assume thats the server I'm trying to connect to) and my login information. What is the NT Domain?
When I try to connect it only tells me after a while that it failed to do so. How can I find the information on what went wrong in the process?

I have a CentOS 5.5 server running currently with a Netgear gigabit ethernet card and for wifi I have a wi-fi card with the chipset: RT2860.Now I have gotten the ethernet card and wi-fi card working but my main question is: How do you bridge the connection between the ethernet card and the wi-fi card to create a wireless network with a hidden ESSID if possible and WPA encryption? (So the server basically acts as a wireless router as well as doing all the other stuff I need to do on it).

I am doing network config of my laptop. I'm new to Fedora, so I'm not sure how it goes ...
I have an Ethernet device (eth0) and a wireless device, wlan0
Status in system->administration->network:
Tab devices:
eth0 : active
wlan0: inactive
Tab Hardware:
eth0: system
wlan0: configured (description: b43)
Double clicking on the wlan0 line gets you to Network Adapters Configuration, where adapter b43 grayed out) is associated with device wlan0. So far, so good (I did all the fwcutter stuff, so I assume this is the result). When I installed the system (from installcd, then update, then install broadcom-wl, ...) I configured it to be started up with network manager, automatically on startup. I managed to get it working exactly once in that session.
Problem is, it doesn't start up and the wireless is not even visible when you click the network manager icon. For that matter, eth0 does not start automatically either, but at least there is a button to start it in network manager. Coming back to the tab devices, clicking on wlan0 allows you to click on the activate button ... but there it says: Cannot activate network device wlan0! b43 device wlan0 does not seem to be present.

The distribution I chose came with the GnoMenu, and it's really cool that I can customize it. But so far I only know how to change the GnoMenu button itself to things that I have to download from the internet. How to create my own GnoMenu button themes? And sound themes, if you have a lot of spare time?

since a few weeks I have a problem connecting to other hosts when I'm using another wireless network, which has a different DNS IP than I have in my network. I have to change /etc/resolv.conf to change the nameserver. Can NetworkManager control the nameserver? If yes, how?

I recently bought an host to have a personal website and would like to create a bash script to create make a mirror copy of it and then add it to crontab to run once a week. Essentially what I want to do is to get the website by using wget -m ftp://user***@ftp.host/mydir
Once this is done I'd like to have everything in an archive called mysite.date.tar.7z I've no experience at all of bash scripting but I guess this should be an easy task? How to make the user and password not visible ? Is there any other option better than wget? (maybe rsync it works better?)

I want to copy a file from folder A to folder B using the GUI
But the paste button is grayed out.
I realise this is because I've logged in as a user rather than root, so how do I enable the paste option on this occasion so that I can paste these files?

I'm having trouble getting this wireless card to work. I installed the broadcom-wl driver on Fedora 12.
Code:
[xxx@localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64
[xxx@localhost ~]$ lsmod | grep wl
wl 1278432 0
lib80211 6436 2 lib80211_crypt_tkip,wl
The card is recognized by System--admin--network as the correct card (BCM43XG) and assigned eth1. However, NetworkManager shows no wireless network. I have a great signal on the same machine if I boot into a Windows partition.

i am running into few problems with the script here. I have an FTP server, all configured, and i need to have a script that will create a folder with current dated within a tree as soon as particular user logs in. I was wondering if that is possible with proftpd. if not, can someone suggest how to create a script that will simply create a DIR with date and autorun itself every 24 hours? i am running Debian/Proftpd with Mysql authorization.

I've spent AGES getting ndiswrapper to work on FC11 with my USR 5416 card.
Now it's finally working and Networkmanager can see my local wireless network. Problem is when I try to connect and it asks for the wep key, the encryption I'm using is not an option.
My network uses a 64 bit ASCII passphrase. My options when connecting are:
None of these seem to be right for my network and, consequently, none of them work.

I'm on opensuse 11.4 (11.3 won't work with my monitor).
My computer gets internet through wireless and I want to share that internet through its ethernet port. So far I've tried using Knetworkmanager to create a network bridge between my wireless and wired connections. I created a new wired connection and shared it using the ip address settings. I was able to get both connections active, but the device hooked up via ethernet had no internet connectivity.
I also tried this command:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
but another test resulted in the same fashion (no internet on wired). I believe anything I add to /proc should have an immediate effect, correct?

After reading and trying tons of tutorials and several OS reinstalls, I'm stuck trying to load wireless on my Dell Vostro 1400 laptop. Before you say search forums! I hurry to tell I did. No solution seems to work. WLAN chipset - Broadcom's BCM4311 / BCM 2050. 1st scenario - native CentOS 5.3 drivers Although CentOS recognize WLAN card and displays it's name correctly, neither network or NetworkManager sees any of wireless networks.
2nd scenario - Broadcom's drivers Most know Broadcom has released Linux drivers. I had some more luck with them than in 1st scenario although problems occur. After successfully compiling Kernel module, wireless networks are discovered and can be successfully connected but no pages load. It seems like DNS is not resolving at all and page loading timeouts instantly. Tested on TKIP-encrypted network.
