Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Configure The Wireless RTL8111/8168B
Apr 19, 2010
I have an MSI Megabook M662. Can't get my wireless working. I have "enabled" checked, but can't view any connections. I don't have wireless at home, I'm trying to make this work for free connections at the library, etc. From the Help Menu troubleshooting I tried:
mag@MSIubuntu:~$ sudo lshw -C network
[sudo] password for mag:
*-network
description: Ethernet interface
[code]...
This reports Disabled, and the advice is to check that device is on. But I just want to roam for service, I don't have my own wireless at home. I thought I might need to use ndiswrapper but I cannot locate a driver for this card info:
lspci -nn 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev 01)
What should I try now?

I've been having problems trying to connect to my home network with my onboard NIC. No solution given on the forum has helped me so far.. I just can't seem to connect to the network and I have no idea how to fix it. My NIC is recognized (lsmod shows r8168 is loaded) but when I choose 'auto ethernet' nothing happens .I hope there is someone that can help me because It's a pain to not have internet access...

I have 2 dedicated servers, one with RTL8111/8168B (rev 02) and one with RTL8111/8168B (rev 01) both running centos 5.3, the problem is like this, all things run great on the dedicated server with NIC RTL8111/8168B (rev 02) until we run backup (cpanel backup) after the backup is finish the server lags , no high load, just lags, the server is a 8 GB ram, i7 quad core, so there is no load problem or someting like this, the second server has also cpanel on it and it has no lag but it has RTL8111/8168B (rev 01) , we think that the problem is with the RTL8111/8168B (rev 02) should we update the driver ?
Here is the output from it:
2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 x86_64 x86_64

This week I picked up a Dell Studio Hybrid and installed CentOS on it. I originally used 5.0 since I already had the DVD and the network card wasn't recognized at all (lspci recognized it but the card didn't show up in system-config-network). I then downloaded the 5.2 DVD and installed that. The network card then showed up in system-config-network but it still didn't work. If DHCP is enabled it tells me that no link is present, and if I manually configure it, I still can't ping the router. lspci reports the following about the network card:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
The driver used is r8169.
I put Fedora 10 on it and the network is working fine, but I'd rather run CentOS on this machine. Is the issue likely to be fixed with CentOS 5.3 or should I just stick with Fedora?

I'm experiencing very slow network speeds in one direction (out) on a clean install of debian.
iperf client running on laptop connecting to server with issue:

I've tried with different cables on the server, no luck. Also note that the laptop gets full speed to speedtest.net as per my internet subscription (75/75 gbit fiber), so the laptop can be ruled out as a problem since it gets more than 75X performance to the internet compared to the local server.
The main purpose of this server is to be a virtualbox host. I've set up one guest system and ran iperf between the host/guest (bridged network). It gives better numbers, still the host -> guest direction is much slower than it should be:

I have an Asus P6T7 WS motherboard with 2 embedded NIC's.Relevant output from lspci:

I am running a mail server and my POP3 clients have started complaining of slow speeds, about 10 days back. This prompted me to take remedial action on many fronts, finally I decided to look at the link itself.Attempts to force the NIC into full duplex mode using ethtool have failed. The command runs and throws me back to the prompt, but the NIC remains in half duplex mode.
Command that I have tried: ethtool -s eth1 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on modprobe -l r816*:

The Realtek RTL8111 wireless does not work in Mint 10 or Ubuntu 10.10. Works perfectly in Mint 9 and Ubuntu 10.04. No proprietary driver necessary. Has anyone managed to get it working in Ubuntu 10.10? : You can click the one you want to connect to and enter your security key. I just use WEP because it's easy. I enter the key and the system just tries to connect until it times out. You can repeat this process indefinitely. Wired works fine but after any available updates are installed, still no wireless capability.

My wireless download rate is absurdly low (0.3 mbps) compared to a faster upload rate (1.5 mbps). My girlfriend's laptop running windows gets much higher download rate (20+ mbps).

How can we configure a wireless network from commandline in Ubuntu?
I understand iwlist will give us the list of access points.
Next using iwconfig it is possible to connect to a wireless network without network manager. connect to a wireless network using commandline?

I've installed 10.10 server edition on a box I just want to use for file storage/backup, uPnP server, etc. The area I need to put the box doesn't have ethernet as an option so I'm trying to get this wireless NIC configured. It's a Buffalotech WLI2-PCI-G54S which runs the Broadcom 4306 chipset. I've managed to get the drivers for the card installed via the instructions here: [URL]
The drivers are working properly as I can run
Code:
iwlist scan
and see all the wireless networks it detects. I found the info here: [URL] to complete the configuration, but I'm still unable to get it right. My wireless router is configured to use WPA2-PSK with AES. I could just try installing gnome and get the GUI network config, but would like to avoid that if possible.

I just install Ubuntu 10.04 on a new laptop. there was no driver for the wireless interface. I then install the proprietary driver. The wireless adapter name is now eth1. My problem is that networkmanager0.7 does not realize that a wireless adapter was configured. and I cannot find where to configure eth1 as its wireless adapter. Where is the menu for that?

I have a Belkin Wireless G F5D7230-4. I was attempting to configure a wireless card on another computer on my network when it froze during the reboot phase after making settings adjustments. The wired connection is fine, except on that computer that I was making the adjustments from. It won't connect at all. I plugged a friends netbook into the same wired line and it connected. Also there is no wireless signal on any laptops. Mac, Win Linux, don't matter. I tried all the various methods of resetting to default but still when I try to access the router's config page @ http://192.168.2.1 I get the error Code: The server at 192.168.2.1 is taking too long to respond.

I am deployed to Iraq and the Earthlink ISP here uses PPPoE to configure a connection to their wireless broadband. His english skills are pretty good and from what I gather, he's got a DSL connection that he's trying to connect me to. He showed me how he does it on a Windows machine but I can't figure it out on my ubuntu laptop. That windows machine didn't need any IP addresses or server names. It only used a username and password to connect. Of course a strong wireless signal detected was also pre-requisite.
I know my laptop works because I've had great success with it here lately, just not on the Earthlink service.I see their wireless is broadcast and I can connect to it. I just can't figure out how to post my credentials and authenticate.I don't see a way of entering my username and password because I don't know how to install (or configure) for PPPoE.I did use the pppoeconfig and got to the part where I add my username and password, but most of what's going on up to and after that, I do not have the knowledge base to use. So I figured that allowing the defaults and recommended settings would be acceptableYou'll have to forgive me if I've asked another dumb question here. I'm another one of those Linux enthusiasts who is learning and I'm just not willing to switch back to MS just to get internet while deployed.

I have a Netopia USB wireless adapter, model # TER/GUSB-N that I am having trouble configuring it. I was wondering if anyone would mind lending some support? Basically, I am setting up a webcam server in my kid's playroom so that I can monitor them from downstairs in my home office. The 10/100 network card works fine, but I need to install the wireless lan card because the computer will be far away from the router.
I have the i386 Debian 5.0.7 installed on a headless computer, no GNOME just CLI. Here some additional information:
lsusb
Code:
camserver1:~# lsusb
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 148f:9021 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:09a1 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate MP/S5500
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
code....
I really enjoy linux a lot. I'm learning a lot each day. I prefer doing things in shell, so if possible, please don't ask me to install GNOME. Using CLI helps me understand more about linux and how to manage the system.

how to configure an Ubuntu 10.10 server with a secured wireless network? I installed everything while it was wired, but I need to get it wireless. I downloaded the desktop to see if it could help me in configuring the wireless network, but it didn't help. how to configure wireless internet on an Ubuntu 10.10 Server in the terminal, which is preferred, or in the desktop.
When I type the command iwconfig, it shows eth1 being me wireless device. When I try and edit it, nothing changes! I don't know what I need to change other than the ESSID and the WEP key. I'm assuming I need to change the access point too, but it doesn't let me. Is there any specific order they must be changed in?

I still cannot access to internet. May I know why?
Is it due to the Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A)
The step i did:
1) iwlist eth1 scanning
2) sudo iwconfig eth1 essid shabana key s:xxxxxx
3) invoke firefox ... cannot surf
Do I need to set dhclient? how should I set? DO I need to enable wpa_supplicant?
iwlist eth1 scanning
sound like I was able to connect to ESSID:shabana. Is it true?
The linux is Centos 5.4

I have a desktop and a laptop. I have Netgear WGR614v9 Wireless Router connected to my desktop. Since my Laptop is pretty old I also bought a Netger Wireless Adapter for the sme model. Now when I connect the Wireless Adapter I am unable to connect to Wi-fi. I am new to Linux, after googling I ran "lsusb" command and it showed Netgear Wireless adapter and its version. Also in GUI when I open File Browser it also shows the Adapter detected but I am unable to connet the same to my router. Also the blue light on the adapter is not glowing.

Ive been struggling to configure a wireless interface on Fedora 9I need to configure wlan0 command line only with NO display managerIve tried setting up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 with the right information, doing dhcpbut no ip is retrieved.

The symptom is that NetworkManager repeatedly ask for password to connect to my AP.My AP is secured with WPA-PKI. The problem even happens with Fedora 11 live cd if I'm not quickly configure wireless connection using NetworkManager right after Fedora completes booting up. It means if I promptly configure wireless connection, i'm still able to access Internet. Same thing happens for the first boot of Fedora from hdd. For the second boot or when I dont quickly configure wireless connection when system finished booting up, NetworkManger repeatedly asks for password for AP.
I did try several approaches posted in this forum but problem still persisted. Some of approaches I tried are:

I am a first time Linux user - though I've Unix and Windows experience. So though I can follow your most tech instructions, I'll need some hand-holding.
Need help getting my wireless network to work on my newly installed Oracle Linux on Dell laptop.
Not sure what wireless card is installed, or it's mac address (though I can boot into windows and get that info, I don't want to - it'll be kind of a let down if I can't fix it all thru Linux).
Install has detected a Broadcom wired card, but not the wireless. Funny thing is that it detected the Bluetooth.

I am trying to configure a wireless connection from YAST under the Network Settings tool.It doesn't seem to do anything. My USB wifi device is detected in YAST > Hardware and I am using the module it says Hardware is using. It doesn't seem to save the module under YAST> Network Settings> Network Card Setup. Is this tool broken or useless? It seems setting up WiFi should be easier than this. YAST should work shouldn't it?

I just switched from Ubuntu to Fedora 13 because I was unable to get Ubuntu to connect to wireless networks. I tried everything suggested in help and forums, and kept getting "Bad Password" with WICD and Network Manager. Now, with Fedora...I still can't connect.
Problem #1: The guide says to "...make sure that the relevant wireless interface (usually eth0 or eth1) is controlled by NetworkManager," and that I do this via: System>Administration>Network
However, there is no Network option under System>Administration.
Problem #2: I open Network Manager, which displays a list of networks. I click on mine, configure it with WPA and the right password, and it fails to connect: "The network connection has been disconnected."
