Ubuntu Networking :: 11.04 - WiFi Not Being Able To Surf Web Or Download
Aug 10, 2011
A few days ago I decided to do a clean install of 11.04 (which I was running when I followed this thread [URL], which solved my problem of my wifi not being able to surf the web or download anything, even though it said i was connected). After the install i noticed that my wifi was acting up and I realized I had to install the realtek driver again, like I did the first time. I followed the thread I stated above again the exact same as I did the first time when it worked for me, now when I boot up I get stuck after the grub menu, it goes to a black screen and I cannot get off of it. I reinstalled ubuntu 11.04 and everything was fine, then I compiled the realtk driver again and the same thing happened. Kernel version 3.6.38-10 Generic (I think this has something to do with the black screen after the Grub menu).
I'm having a variety of problems getting a new PC working properly, getting a reliable wifi connection is one of them. Earlier today I upgraded to 10.10 using my wife's account and download speeds were frequently at a reasonable 800kbps at times. This evening my son complains about the slow speed and a test shows 133kbps download with 616kbps upload. My own PC connected by wire to the router works OK.
A couple of days ago this problem seemed resolved when I installed Wicd but didn't configure it. I thought Network-Manager would have been removed but was still present. However, a downloads test showed 6Mbps. After today's upgrade slow downloads have returned.
I'm currently using this PC with a wifi link to the router and am connected to the Forum. If I hover the mouse pointer over the N-M toolbar symbol a window opens saying-
Wireless network connection 'Auto MYESSID'active:MYESSID(67%) If I right mouse click on the N-M symbol and select Edit connection... the wireless window reports that I was last connected 3 days ago. My own PC's wired connection window says against Auto eth0 that I've never used this. Both these are untrue. I wondered if having a hidden ESSID doesn't help? I'm left thinking that the rt2500 based wifi card needs replacing. We're some distance from other houses.
as per pytheas22, i'm attaching few details here. my download speed would starts at 470 kB/s and gradually decreases until it reaches 116 kB/s. Loading web pages seems to be fine.
I have Huawei B970b (see specs). It a router with wireless and GSM capability. It works ok in XP. I can connect and ping its IP 192.168.1.1. In Ubuntu I can see the wireless SSID and could connect to the router but I can not surf the net nor I can ping 192.168.1.1.

It worked in 10.04 using ndiswrapper, but the connection was very weak (In Windows, it works perfectly). I blame ndiswrapper and the windows driver for the connection issues.In 10.10 x64, using ndiswrapper does not work. It says hardware present, but iwconfig shows no wlan0 adapter. I downloaded the driver from RealTek's website (rtl8192su) and compiled it. It gave a lot of warnings about integers being out of range, but I ignored them and went on anyway. If you want the exact warnings, I can put them on a pastebin and post the link tonight when I get home from work.
After doing a make install, I plugged in my adapter. As soon as it kicked on, the light on the adapter would blink and the screen would go black with a lone cursor in the top left corner of the screen. The drivers are obviously suspect, since I can make uninstall, plug in the adapter, and continue on with no network.Has anyone gotten this adapter/other adapters with the rtl8192su firmware working in 10.10 using a stock x64 install? It has to be stock or using packages available on the disk since without using the adapter, I have no internet.Maybe I'll try the drivers on 10.04 and see if they're just not compatible with 10.10.
You'll need to reply like I'm an absolute idiot. I cannot get the stupid thing to work. WINE won't install, and I'm really confused on how to make it work. If anyone could please give me a step-by-step, that would be great.
i have ubuntu 9.10 on a lenovo s10. i had my alfa awus036h and it worked fine no issues. except for having to reconnect every hour or so. anyway i got back track 4 final and installed it on usb with unetbootin. i started to use wicd and etter cap on it. and i made sure to turn off wicd when i was done then i went back into ubuntu (i didnt install bt) and i started to have problems like everyone else. slow connections ,disconnects after 1 min, and can still connect to networks but cant surf.
I can connect to my access point to surf internet. I setup my Dlink access point (password, network name, etc) in Vista by visiting "http://dlinkap/" in my web browser.
In ubuntu, I can connect and surf the web/internet but i cannot access the setup page.
When I try to type the "http://dlinkap/" to my browser then the browser will redirect it to google search.
I try 192.168.1.1, I can access my linksys router. but my dlink access point, i cannot access the setup page.
I have two network cards in my computer (Debian). One (eth0) is connected to the router which is connected to the internet, the other one (eth1) is connected to my laptop (Gentoo). Now I want to surf the web both on my computer and on my laptop. I obeyed some tutorials "Linux as router":
2. Laptop has IP 192.168.0.2 and this is the output of 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' on my computer:
Code:
takada:/etc/network# cat interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface
But a ping from my laptop to 192.168.1.1 (router to internet) still gives:
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a pc as a duel boot, On the computer I use a belkin surf and share n speed controller to connect wireless ( pc doesn't have a wireless connection) I have found the correct driver RLT8192SU from realtek and unzipped it and moved the contents to a flash drive. The problem is I am a total noob to Linux based systems and i have no ideal how to install the contents, there is a read me file but it makes no sense to me and i have absolutely no clue how to install the driver so i have no internet. Is there an easier way to install or step by step instructions?
My laptop has an internal wireless device and a button to turn it on/off, but since it has bad reception I use an external USB wireless adapter.The problem is that if I turn the internal wireless device off using the button, it also turns the USB wireless adapter off.Is there anyway to use the killswitch (the button) only for the internal wireless device?This only started to happen in Ubuntu 10.04.
I have only had a few weeks worth of experience with linux, so I'm probably considered a newbie at this but I felt like giving it a shot. I just configured my new Toshiba Satellite A505-S6969 to jaunty. Most of the transition is going well but I'm stuck with a few issues, one of which is getting my wifi to work. Right now I'm working off of an ethernet cable.spci returns

I have a pc which has 2 network cards, 1 wifi and 1 ethernet card.
I'm using wifi card to connect to wifi network (internet) and i'm planing to share this wifi/internet connection via ethernet to wireless router (siemens sx763) so i can have internet on my other devices, e.g. mobile phone, laptop.
I am running (K)Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64bit on a Dell Latitude E6400, WiFi Card Intel 5100. Never had any problems with networking. Up to about 2 weeks ago. I do realize there have been quite a few posts with this network adaptor, but non really described the problem I have here.
What happens is that suddenly the WiFi LED on the computer stops blinking, the WiFi connection gets disrupted, and the device is not recognized anymore when checking ifconfig. Only cold restarting the machine helps then... it will work for a while (between 1 and 20 minutes) and then crash again.
On Windows 7 the card works perfectly fine. With Ubuntu 11.04 in Live CD mode I have the same effects (connection crashes after a while). Also tried booting an older kernel, no success.
My exact hardware:
Code:
I notived the following problems in /var/log/kern.log
I have 2 connections, wlan and wired, and I'd want to have a few websites (in my browser) to connect through the wireless connection while other go through the wired rj45 connection. s it possible? (without unplugging the rj45 cable...)
the only error message I can find comes from "dmesg|tail"all it shows is "no IPv6 router"any body know what is going on here or where where to look for more clues the next time I get around public wifi Oh the windoze washers and apple polishers don't seem to have any problems at all
I am at a university where my bandwidth is severely capped. I can start several other computers near me and download at the limited speed simultaneously. Is there any way for me to share the download between the computers to get the cumulative speed?
I have an old PowerBook G4 that I would like to use as a 'dummy' computer for learning wireless penetration (WEP/WPA attacks) more effectively. I had been using a wireless router, but I gave it away I can use Mac OS X to share an ethernet connection over wifi, but this is _very_ un-configurable. You get two options only, WEP and a key-length. So, I would like to install someway to make this wireless connection more configurable.
Just got a Lexmark Pro200 wireless printer. Can anybody tell me where and how to download the relevant drivers to print using WiFi?. Went to Lexmark.com and downloaded what i thought was the correct driver and the system installed them but cannot find them. When i plug in a usb cable a message tells me that i have connected the correct printer, However when asked to search Lexmark does not even show up on the list to select and search. Was successful on my wife's Windows laptop and after trial and error on my Mac Mini.
As the thread title suggests i want to know how to surf anonymously as can be. Im thinking of using a vpn provider over the isp provider and while using a vpn connecting to the tor network using firefox.
i use slackware 2 months ago.13.1 at start and now 13.37.today i finaly enjoy the wireless conection with "wicd".i want to know how safe is to surf with this OS.
I have three pc's in the house, one desktop and three laptops. the two windows pc's (windoze 7) worked with dsl and firefox just fine. my linux debian laptop DID give me a network connection, i can log in as admin and change the router/modem ect with no prob. i cant get the default browser in debian to load a page. iceweasel says cant resolve the host name. i have WOW and secondlife installed and both games work fine. i can get a connection on the wireless and play them with no prob. I cant surf the web with any default browser in debian. i have a internet connection. i just cant surf so its got to be in the web browser settings? i looked, did not change anything, but do not see what could be causing this.
