Ubuntu Networking :: 3G Dongle Switched But Not Detected?
Nov 11, 2010
a few weeks back I got an Indian Reliance 3g dongle. I installed usb-modeswitch, plugged in and it seemed to work brilliantly in Ubuntu 10.04.The problem was it was dropping the connection every ten minutes. The logs had the error message "Terminating on signal 15".I had to unplug the dongle and then it would connect again.x the problem, I tried installing first Sakis3G and then Betawine, both of which were reported by some users to haved. Sakis said "the device did not report GSM capabilities"d no good.Installing Betawine was apparently a bad idea, as after that the dongle ceased to work with Network Manager and Betawine itself was useless. Uninstalling Betawine and re-installing usb-modeswitch did no good.Now, when I plug in the dongle, the logs say:Quote:
Nov 9 17:52:31 lauri-laptop kernel: [28563.368241] usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
Nov 9 17:52:31 lauri-laptop kernel: [28563.530547] usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1

I just bought a Belkin F7D2101 USB Wifi N dongle, it works great, but every time I start my computer, it's not detected. At least, my network applet shows no network adapter. I have to unplug and plug it back in on another USB port to get detected. Then, my network dmon automatically connects to my wifi network.

i recently had to switch routers because my old one didnt work anymore. i have a dual boot machine with win7 for games and natty narwhal (64-bit) for everything else. i'm quite new to ubuntu, i know how to navigate the menu, change settings, install things, just the basic stuff. i dont know how to use the terminal yet except some basic commands for installing and updating software.
after my router swap, my connection for windows was back, although i had to pull out the network cable and plug it back in for this to happen. unfortunately my connection in ubuntu is still gone. i see the connection in network manager, but i cant access the internet through it. i tried setting up a new one with the same settings, to no avail. i connect to the internet directly through my router. i tried finding some documentation for it but havent had luck with that. is there some way to reset the connection? or let ubuntu set up a new one like when i'm doing a fresh install? i think that ubnuntu still thinks i'm using the old router and that this is the cause for the connection fail.

My PC is connected to an modem (DHCP) with IP 192.168.1.21 on eth0 Internet works perfectly I have installed an additional LAN card and configured it as eth1 with IP of 192.168.0.1 When I connect this LAN card to a LAN switch which in turn is connected to 6 other PCs, the internet stops working. As soon as I switch OFF the LAN switch, I am able to access internet. The IP addresses of the other PCs are configured as 192.168.0.2 etc. with gateway as 192.168.0.1 and DNS same as the DNS on the external interface. I can ping 192.168.0.1 from the LAN but neither LAN nor the main PC can access net. I was planning to Masquerade and NAT the other computers without using squid
My setup is as follows
ISP - Modem(192.168.1.1) - Ubuntu desktop 9.04(external interface eth0 192.168.1.21 & internal interface eth1 192.168.0.1) - switch - LAN (comprising of Ubtuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.4 & XP machines with IP 192.168.0.2 - 8 and gateway of 192.168.0.1) I did NAT as per [URL]
This worked perfectly well 1 day Next day onwards whenever the LAN switch is "ON" the main Ubuntu wudnt get internet and the internet connection would work only when the LAN switch is turned "OFF". Even if all the PCs in LAN were to be switched off, the main Ubuntu would behave similarly i.e. internet would work only when switch isn't connected to it or switched off.

I just had the great pleasure of switching from standard DSL to BT infinity (fibre optics) which included switching my DSL Belkins router for a new cable BT home hub unfortunatly. My PS3 went online wirelessly fine, all our iPads/Pods/Phones went on ok wirelessly and 2 out of 3 wired Ubuntu 11.04 desktops went online ok. I also have a Macbook dual booting 11.04 but haven't tried it yet. The problem is my computer which is wired the same isn't working, I can get it to say connected sometimes and UbuntuOne did say it was updating a file but then cuts out, I just can't seem to get connected to the internet!
I didn't change anything from the previous day, just switched it on. The only significant difference I can think of between my computer and the other desktops is mine has the KDE desktop installed.
Things I've tried:
- Restart router
- Boot into different DE eg. normal, classic, KDE
- Unplug ethernet cable and plug it back in
- Restart computer
My computer is connected using the powerline system along with 1 of the other desktops so it can't be that, it must be something at my end.

I want to buy a wireless dongle to establish a bridged connection in my home. I mean, does anyone have a wireless dongle which works perfectly for Karmic without ndiswrapper? Some of the information in the Ubuntu help page is outdated.

I bought a mobile broadband dongle from 3 network. Naturally it's only compatible with Windows and Mac OS. How do I get it to work with Ubuntu?

At the moment I am in the UK using broadband but in a week I will be flying back to India, where I normally connect with a 2G dongle. This comes with its own software that installs when plugged in for the first time and uses an Airtel sim card. Of course this is in Windows so what's going to happen when I go back and try and connect using Ubuntu? I have done a cursory search and note that I should use the Network Connections service, but this relates to 3G, not 2G. Will that make a difference? Is it a suitable replacement for the normal software my dongle installs? I should add that using a Bluetooth phone with the sim card is not practical, I do need to use the dongle.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 desktop (latest updates) on an Acer Veriton 1000 desktop. I purchased a SMCWUSBS-N# Wireless USB Dongle recently and have been struggling to get it to work. NM-APPLET simply does not show any Wireless option at all. I have tried all the various posts / suggestions that I could Google and I am still nowhere.
Last night I manually loaded the RT3370sta driver. Now iwconfig does show the card on ra0. However, NM-APPLET still does not show any Wireless option at all.
Surprisingly "iwlist ra0 scan" command at the Terminal does show alll the available Wifi connections.

I've bought this Blumax USB WLAN adapter 9009 (ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter). I was specifically happy to read in its specs that it supports Linux [URL].
However, it turned out that the co-packaged CD drive doesn't contain anything Linux-related, and the support page online has gzip package with many files I don't know what to do with [URL]. The online support swallowed my query and hasn't returned any answer.
So, now I am wondering what to do. I don't feel so competent as to be able to compile the drivers on my own, specifying several specific parameters. At least it doesn't compile with default params. how to move forward with this. Apart from returning the device, because I'm too far now from the place where I bought this.

We recently got a new mini PC which came pre-installed with Ubuntu 10.10, so far, so good. Today, we invested in a Vodafone broadband dongle (model number: K3570-Z/K3571-Z). I've installed the dongle on our old XP machine, with no problems, however, Ubuntu won't even recognise that it's plugged in. What am I doing wrong? We've had the new machine for 3 days, so I'm really new to all of it and haven't learnt how to use the command prompt yet, so I'm hoping someone has some advice for a complete beginner. I can't understand why it's not recognising that somethings plugged in, because from what I've found, you need usb_modeswitch in over for the dongle to be recognised as a modem.

I have a laptop with no bluetooth on it.So i bought a bluetooth dongle.It works flawlessly under windows but i am having a problem with it under Ubuntu (As well as other Linux distros). As soon as i plug the dongle i see a bluetooth icon in the Notification Area.
When i click on it and choose setup new device....its scans and shows all the bluetooth devices like my Nokia 5800 xpressmusic cell phone but when i try to pair it simply fails....
I have tried all the Pin codes available and even tried the custom pin option but still no success. By the way right now i am using Ubuntu 10.04..i have also tried it with other linux OS but still the problem remains....

I recently purchased an inexpensive bluetooth dongle for my laptop running lucid 64-bit. the device, however, doesn't seem to want to work in ubuntu. most functions (everything but turning the device OFF) fail, causing gui windows to hang, and i mostly receive messages relating to the device timing out.
Before you ask, it is not the device: the dongle works flawlessly in windows 7 after being autodetected and autoinstalled. i attempted to boot from the lucid cd, and the problem persisted.

I'm shopping for a Bluetooth dongle and I'd like to find one that "just plain works" with Lucid. I've searched and found a few posts about bluetooth, but nothing encouraging so far. Hopefully someone is using one and can vouch for its compatibility with Lucid.

I have just installed Ubuntu on an old laptop for a little bit of programming and to gain some familiarity with linux. Im looking forward to getting to know my way around the OS
Unfortunately, the wireless card (for wifi) on this laptop is broken, so instead I have been using a wifi usb dongle on windows. I am having some trouble installing this dongle in ubuntu, i cant find a driver for it!
Its a "MicroNext MN-WD546J 54M Wireless Adapter"
[url]
I have my modem connected directly at the moment via LAN, and this works no problem, but id like to get it connected wirelessly

I live in india and I have a BSNL 3G dongle. I am using it on my laptop. I would like make phone calls using it. I was able to sends sms but no luck on voice call. In windows they provided a software for making voice calls, so the hardware supports it.

However it doesn't seem to have fixed my problems, in trying to connect a Micronet usb dongle to my Dell desktop. There are some things I can't run the diagnostics on because when I plug my dongle in the system partially hangs. So it work run lshw -C network for example. And see below for some unhealthy looking outputs from /var/log/messages.
uname -r 2.6.32-26-generic
dmesg | grep ndiswrapper

I'm trying my to get my 3-year-old Dynex wireless dongle to work in Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). Borrowing a similar linksys adapter from another computer running Ubuntu, I was able to install NDISGTK and transfer the same drivers that work in my 64-bit Windows 7 installation into my home folder.
Despite the fact that the dongle does not appear at all using lshw -C Network, ndiswrapper -l indicates that the driver is installed and the device is present. I think I found something interesting, though, when I tried this command:
Code:
jimmy@ubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep -e ndis -e wlan

I'm planning to buy a mobile dongle from 3 (this one: [URL]) but I don't want to tie myself down to a contract before I'm sure that it'll work.
I have a 64-bit computer with Ubuntu 10.10 and WINE installed, so if I was to buy it, how would I set it up?

I have a LAN (2 PC !) wire connected and I use a Huawei e182e to join the internet (If you have problem to install the Huawei on Linux, don't install drivers proposed on forums or don't try to unlock it. It's not necessary, simply install a kernel > 2.6.34 and it will install itself as a perfect plug and play). On the unconnected machine, the Internet is accessible normally from the broadband dongle, but the connection stops when I plug the LAN cable. It's normal since the PC cannot use both network connections simultaneously without a previous configuration, and the question is precisely there !
Bridging could be a solution but mobile broadband uses ppp protocol that is not on the same layer as wired LAN. brctl refuses to add the key into the bridge configuration. Vtun seems a better approach since it works more independently from the protocols, but it must be installed on both sides and the broadband dongles does not accept software installation in it. Documentation from Huawei is quite inexistent. Actually the story could be the same for a computer connected to a wired LAN and using a wireless dongle, but here bridging is feasible (not tested by me) because they work on the same layer. I tried to deactivate LAN switching in the BIOS: no result static address with gateway pointing on the other device (I tried everything) no result. How to bridge a ppp dongle with a wired LAN?

I am just staring in the world of Linux (I want to stop eating what Microsoft leaves behind). I have this minor problem using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). The OS had detected my CNET Wireless-G USB Dongle (CWD-854). I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT-120N). I see in the top right corner of the OS the wireless icon. When I click on it, it displays the SSID of my wireless. When I click on it, it ask me for my wireless password. It start to try to connect to my wireless router, but it always end up disconnecting.

I currently have a computer sitting underneath a router/switch on a Local Area Network that I want to connect to the Internet using a 3G USB dongle modem. If I am connected to the ethernet and then enable the modem connection, only the ethernet LAN side works. If I enable the modem and then enable a (disabled) ethernet connection, only the ethernet LAN side works. If I keep the ethernet disabled and connect using the modem, I can get out onto the Internet, but obviously not the LAN. I need to be able to do both.
