I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on my Dell studio 1557 with a broadcom 1394 wireless card.
I am wondering if it is possible to set my laptop to autojoin open wireless networks. I like traveling and it popped into my head. I am a novice linux user, long time windows user. I know its possible just how. like a terminal script or just a check mark somewhere. i broke my right hand and arm in a motorcycle wreck recently.
is it possible to join a Fedora box to a Windows Domain. Will the box be automatically added in DNS?How do I configure Fedora afterwards so I can login with a domain user on the box?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a complete newbie to Ubuntu. Just installed it today and everything I have done so far has been found and worked out using forums such as this. So far I have installed ndiswrapper, the latest version, and got my wifi card working. In fact I am online now writing this!
Problem is when I shutdown and reboot. My wireless connection won't automatically run. It won't even show in the top left that I have a wifi connection. There is no "enable wireless" tickbox. I have to type in the terminal:
sudo depmod - a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
then my WEP key
then it works.
BTW I have no idea what those commands do I just found them on a forum. I can't seriously have to do this everything I boot up?!! Can this be automated or is there a better fix?
Well I have a nearby WiFi network that my PC keeps trying to connect to automatically. I don't know why since mine is closer. I tried changing the channel and have deleted the offending network under "Edit Connections" but of course it keeps comming back. The problem is most annoying on boot up when it starts trying to connect automatically as soon as the desktop is loaded. Is there anything Ican do to "hide" this network from my PC's vission?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have no problem with my wireless network at home, or visiting friends, but it won't connect to public, open, unsecured WiFi networks, eg hotels, trains, ships.I'm using Ubuntu v9.10, NetworkManager applet v0.7.996, on a Dell Inspiron 1750 laptop.If I left click on the NetworkManager, the available wireless networks are displayed and I can see the relevent open networks, named as expected and shown without the lock icon. I click on the relevent entry, watch a spinner for 30 seconds or so and then it drops off and I have no connection. This happens for "all" open connections.If I look at my defined Wireless Network Connections now, I can see, eg, "Auto Internet@Sea, Last used: never". Editing that connection:

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.
I have to setup a WiFi network for a hotel. There are several possibilities, but for me the best one is to setup a open Wifi network with web authentication for single user. What is the best solution in terms of compatibility, security, reliability, etc? I don't know many solution for web authentication, only the RADIUS project.

this is great but I do not understand why join ignores the -e flag and fails to insert FOO in the empty field.
After restart or suspend/resume the Wifi won't start until I click on my home network from the menu. It used to start without me doing anything (once I setup the wireless).

just installed Debian 8.2 on my ThinkPad X230 laptop using netinst. I installed only basic system and then install packages I need manually. Now I stuck with NetworkManager and Wi-Fi. NetworkManager and its applet (package network-manager-gnome) installed, I can connect to my Wi-Fi network, but after reboot a dialog asking for passphrase for keys appeared and even after entering correct passphrase NetworkManager does not connect to the Wi-Fi, so I need to connect it manually.

I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 in my office desktop. as a newbie in the world of linux, i really do not know much about it. I want to join my desktop in our domain. i already have the ip addresses of the DNS servers but i dunno where to put it. i've installed likewise open and try to join the domain but it displays the following errors: Manual Configuration Required:

I do not observe this behaviour when operating my laptop under Windows 7. Following some suggestions given in this forum , I uninstalled networkmanager and installed wicd. However, this does not seem to solve the problem. Given below are the relevant information.

How do I join a Windows XP Workgroup named HOME?
View 1 Replies View Relatedin searching i never found an article that got it just right. so here it is tried and true..
1. I usually start out assigning myself a static ip address. this is not needed to join but its something I always do.
2. next i set my dns settings in resolve.conf to my local dns server
3. download likewise "apt-get install likewise-open"
4. for kerberos i just leave it blank
5. go to your nsswitch.conf file located in /etc/ and set the hosts to only files and dns
6. now you should stop your networking and start it again so that the dns changes take effect.
7. you are now ready to try and join your domain. "domainjoin-cli join fqdn.of.yourdomain administrator" you can substitute administrator with any admin account
you should now be joined to your domain for adding sudo rights to the "administrator" membership
1. open your sudoers file located in /etc/
2. the following line to the bottom of the file "%DOMAIN\administrators ALL=(ALL) ALL" replace DOMAIN with your domain name. do not use your fqdn. all set. hope you enjoy
But here is my problem... I have a windows 2003 server mini tower ATX running VMware workstation 7.0 that has a Ubuntu server 32-bit and a Ubuntu desktop; both versions are 10.04. Now, my ubuntu server edition joins active directory just fine, but my ubuntu desktop does not.
Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
[Global]
workgroup = XXXXDELIGHT
security = ads
realm = XXXXDELIGHT.BIZ
idmap backend = lwopen

In the ipv4 code i was using "ip_mc_join_group()" to join the multicast group. but i cannot find a similar function for ipv6 i have found one ipv6_sock_mc_join() but this function is not available for use with my module as it is not exported.

Error: Lsass Error [code 0x00080047] 9502 (0x251E) DNS_ERROR_BAD_PACKET - A bad packet was received from a DNS server. Potentially the requested address does not exist. I have already read up on this a little bit. Both servers are within a minute of each other, so I am not concerned about server timing. I am not sure where to go from this point. Everything I have read seems to indicate that this should "just work".
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.
