Ubuntu Networking :: 9.10 - WiFi Connection Not Working
Feb 3, 2010
I just recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a dell laptop. My WiFi connection that I've been using on the same computer for years is not working when I log on. However if I run the burnt image cd and choose the option "Use Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer" I am asked if I want install proprietary drivers. If I activate one "Broadcom STA" I can connect to the wireless connection in my house. When I am using the version installed on my laptop it doesn't ask me if I want to install the drivers and it doesn't even find them when I go to hardware drivers under system. So to sum it up I can get connection when I run Ubuntu from the cd but not when I run the Ubuntu on my laptop.

I just installed the lastest stable Debian (gnome) today and what I was most afraid just happened: my laptop's wifi isn't working properly, it isn't turning on. This had already hapened on livecd.
In the laptop's chassis leds, the wifi led apears as green. When I click to turn on the wifi, as shown on the picture the button, quickly disappears and appears again not seeming to have any effect at all at turning on the wifi but not showing any error either!
Picture :
What's interesting about the wifi not working is that in the installation process I was able to connect to a wifi hotspot and it connected to the internet fine!
Now after installation was complete and my system did the reboot, I was no longer able to connect to the internet using wifi.
My wireless card is Atheros AR9565 and my LAN card is also Atheros.
Here is an output of lspci and lsmod which may have some leads about the problem.

Code: Select allquant@debian:~$ lspci

I've just installed the ubuntu 9.10. I have one problem with it. I have a home net in configuration: Windows XP on a cable, Ubuntu on a cable and Windows on wifi. When I'm surfing on the net on Ubuntu, Wifi isn't work how it should. It's very slow and I don't know what to do with it. Windows XP on a cable is OK, it works good. What happen and how can I repair it?

I cant connect with ssh to my workstation using my notebooks wireless lan. with cable I'm able to connect.so the funny thing is, if I first establish a connection from my workstation to my notebook (like ssh it or just ping the notebook) I'm able to create a ssh connection from my laptop to the workstation using wireless lan.scanning my workstation from the wireless lan of my notebook with
Code:
nmap -sT -p 22 ventury
says port 22 is closed
scanning it from the notebook with cable lan,it says port 22 is opened
scanning it from the wireless lan of my notebook an have sent a ping from the workstation before says port 22 is opened.ution.
I got a 64bit version of Kubuntu 10.04, up to date, installed on both, my workstation(ventury) and my notebook (defiant).the question is: Do I always have to ping my notebook first if I want to ssh from it to my workstation or is there some other solution? And why does it work fine with cable, but not with WiFi?

I just removed ubuntu-desktop in favor of kubuntu-desktop. Now I can't create an ad-hoc wifi connection however hard I tried from network-manager. It simply is not visible to other PCs. And when some connection is created on another ubuntu PC, I can't connect to it.. I switched NM off and tried the CLI way.

I'm brand new to Ubuntu, and Linux in general, and honestly don't know what I am doing. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my external hard drive and am able to boot fine (other than an issue with my monitor falling asleep because my graphics card needs a different driver. I have a work around for this that i'm currently using but I would like to fix it permanently and thus need an internet connection.)
When trying to connect to the network in my home, I am unable to. I click on the WiFi symbol in the top right corner, and I can see my network. I then click it and a page comes up asking for the key. I put it in but it doesn't sync and usually after a minute or so it pops back up asking for the key again.What can I do to gain internet access? I'm unable to connect my computer via a hard wire Ethernet cord and need to sort out this WiFi issue.

I bought my MacBook Pro at the beginning of the school year when I went to college. I am now living in a dorm where I do not have access to wired internet connection, so I cannot just plug my computer in to download stuff. If need be I can of course borrow someone else's computer to download something and then just transfer it over with a flash drive.
Anyway, I have a virtually new MacBook Pro that I bought in August. Using refit I have dual-booted OS X and Ubuntu (obviously I am posting this from within OS X) but I cannot manage to get connected wirelessly to the internet. I have tried this many many times with many many distros and have never once been able to connect. I understand that there are various tutorials around but none of them seem to help me at all and I really want this to work. I've been looking around and trying things for about two days now. Can someone give me step by step instructions (or point me toward some simple ones) starting, if need be, from a fresh install as to how to get wifi working on my macbook pro? I am also completely willing to switch versions of Ubuntu if that would help.
Ubuntu 10.10
Hardware-
MacBook Pro 7,1
Intel Core 2 Duo
Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8D)
Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 5.100.198.11 )

I am new to linux and also new to this forum. I love how light Slax is but it won't let me connect to my wifi. It scans and finds my router but the option to switch to the network is grayed out. How can I fix this problem?

Using an old (5 year) laptop with XP loaded I installed wubi to save altering partitions etc. It all downloaded fine and connected to the internet by wire. I set up the wireless connection using WPA but could not connect. The wirelsss card does see my network and others. After lurking around the forum and trying various things I found that I could connect without encryption. The more I read the more I became confused.
Anyway what I could glean about my Wireless Card it is a Intersil Prism2 mini usb adapter - but also shows up as an Acer ?? Warplink 802.11.
Using lshw I found this reference to wireless
I became even more confused and got a bit lost using the various codes in the terminal and looking up things about drivers etc but would like to persist.

I've been having 2 issues with my internet connection on ubuntu for as long as I can remember, I've tried updates but they haven't seemed to work so great and am pretty fed up with this. So I have a Netgear wg111t wireless usb dongle which I got working through ndiswrapper. The 2 issues I am having are:
1. After a random period of time my internet just decides to disconnect, the strange thing is the bars at the top still say I'm connected. The only way to get the internet working again is to turn the pc off and on. Another way I have experienced this happening is usually when I'm downloading something off a torrent.
2. After restarting my pc the wifi usb isn't recognised and I can't connect to the internet.

I'm having a really strange problem with my wifi connection on my laptop. The ethernet connection works fine and so does the wifi connection - as long as I sit within one meters range from my router! As soon as I take the laptop further away the connection drops. The router is still being found by network-manager and the signal is just below 100%, but when I try to establish a connection it fails.
I'm sitting here on a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install, and I had exactly the same problem with 9.10. That time I went through a lot of different procedures, and in some strange way the problem was solved. I haven't been that lucky this time though, I've tried reinstalling network-manager, using ndiswrapper, installing the wireless backports package, tried all kinds of drivers.. nothing works.
There shouldn't be any problem with the connection itself; I've had a perfect connection downstairs but now I can't even connect if I stand two metres from the router! Has anyone experienced anything like this and managed to fix it? My wireless card is Atheros AR2413. This is an example from daemon.log

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Jaunty Jackalope. I have a good working wireless connection.
My daughter has a lot of iPod tunes stored on an old white chiclet Macintosh, which she needs to download to her iPod. Because the iPod is "corrupt" (meaning it was last connected to Windows!), we need to connect to internet.
Simplest way to do that would SEEM to be to plug an Ethernet cord between the two machines and let her Mac access internet via this Dell.
My experience with ethernet is, either it works out of the box, or it doesn't. If it doesn't, I have no idea how to make the connection work.
What do I have to do on BOTH the Jaunty and OSX sides to make the connection?

I have installed ubuntu 10.04 on a new laptop siemens xi3650. I have Vista installed on it, and it works perfectly. On Ubuntu the wifi connection stops after a few seconds, and it wont reconnect until I restart the pc. The only mean I have to connect to internet is vie ethernet on ubuntu, or ethernet or wifi with vista. here is the results of the OS information:
Code:
genni@genni-laptop:~$ uname -r -m

I have been using Linux via my Acer Aspire One for a few weeks now without any problem. Suddenly I find I can get a WiFi connection but consistently it fails to load the pages. I have tried 2 connections so I know it's my machine. And probably something I have touched. How to reset the the internet settings or better still can I reset the computer back a few days (like in Windows) to resolve this problem?

I switched to the b43xx (lp-phy) driver, as opposed to the broadcom STA driver which I previously had. I have dell 8312b/g lp-phy(mini) wireless card.
I have the wireless detection, but when I attempt to connect to Fios WiFi it continuously asks for my WEP (I have the correct WEP and I have typed it in correctly) and fails to connect.
I've read about the driver and firmware on linuxwireless and kernel.wireless. org.
http://pastebin.com/w44Xbgw3 (lspci -nnk output)
http://pastebin.com/C5BDhgZ9 (iwconfig output - this printed while trying to access the network)
Why is this happening? How can I fix this?

Is it possible to monitor WiFi connections and identify who are connected through OpenLDAP? If so, how will authentication be possible? By the way, I'm open if OpenLDAP is inappropriate for such authentication purposes and scenario.

Here's the situation: I've got an eee pc 901 running Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix. I'm using it to connect to a WPA-encrypted wireless network on a WRT54GL running dd-wrt. It mostly connects and works ok, but sometimes it just stops working for no apparent reason (the netbook still shows itself as connected), but you can't get anywhere until you manually disconnect and reconnect. Other times, it will drop the connection, and then quickly reconnect (or sometimes not). Obviously, this behavior is pretty irritating. At first I thought the problem was with the router, but I checked the logs there and they all seem fine, and other computers on the same router don't have this problem. Looking at "dmesg | tail" on my netbook, I see a lot of instances of the following error, which I'm thinking is probably the problem:
Code:
[11137.762233] ERROR!!! RTMPCancelTimer failed, Timer hasn't been initialize!
[11142.872797] ===>rt_ioctl_giwscan. 4(4) BSS returned, data->length = 440
[11152.883274] ===>rt_ioctl_giwscan. 5(5) BSS returned, data->length = 556

[11163.952056] ERROR!!! RTMPCancelTimer failed, Timer hasn't been initialize!
I searched for that error message and I found this Ubuntu bug report: [URL] that describes symptoms that match mine. In that report, a poster mentions that he compiled and installed a new version of the wireless driver from the Ralink website, and it fixed his problem. Do you think installing a new driver would be good? Or has that updated driver already been added to the kernel since that bug report was filed? I've never compiled a kernel module before.
One other thing, I also see repeated instances of these lines (or similar ones) in dmesg, which look like they could be related.

I have a Sony VAIO VGN SR29VN with ubuntu 9.10; I am trying to make a wifi connection through WPA work, to no avail. WEP and open connections work correctly, but when I try to connect to a WPA network using TTLS via network manager, y get errors of this type:Current regulatory domain updated by AP to:ES
preceded by lots of "leaving channel xxxx intact" and followed by "disassociating by local choice".This Sony is using an Intel 5100 wifi; any idea of what's going on or how to fix it?

I have been using windows 7 for awhile now, and i was using connectify (an internet connection sharing program that turns your laptop into a wireless router), and i'm planning on completely switching to Linux from a dual boot, and i was wandering if there is a way to share an internet connection (mainly to my PS3) on Ubuntu 10.04 x64, and wirelessly if possible, though i wouldn't mind if it was through Ethernet.

My ubuntu system has been running really well until this morning - software update prompt appeared on the screen, so I ran with it and let it do its thing. A while after this, my WiFi network connection started failing. I've tried rebooting and then it can take up to five minutes or more for the password (keychain) prompt to appear. Once I have typed in the password the network connection starts to work. Then cuts out. Works. Then fails again.

I have a problem with my wifi adhoc network which I previously had under Windows. I go to network connections, edit connection ,wireless,add then change to adhoc then I cannot press the add button as it is not highlighted, I don't want any security so have not enterd any WEP or WPA information, also How do I do a scan for wireless networks/devices in my area?
I have a number of devices plus the chap next door who connects to my wired internet connection using my wifi adhoc network that are unable to do so at present.
