Ubuntu Networking :: D-Link DWA-140 Seems To Sort Of Work?
Mar 21, 2010
I've got an oldish laptop which I've installed 9.10 on. I plugged in a D-Link DWA-140 USB wifi dongle to see if it can connect to my wifi router. It quite happily flashed it's light, and when I click on the wifi icon on the top panel it lists a bunch of wifi networks including my own. However, when I select my network and enter the passphrase it doesn't connect, and just keeps asking for the passphrase/key again
I just bought this usb wireless adapter. (I also have a mac using wireless here and it works fine.) I installed ndiswrapper and ndisgtk and then used it to open the .inf file on the driver cd that came in the box. It must have worked reasonably well because if I click on network manager, I can see a number of networks, including my own. However, when I enter the security key for my network the icon spins for a while and then it asks for the key again. I've tried repeatedly and it never connects. I am definitely entering the key properly because I re-entered it on my mac and it worked.
I have attached a document with most of the information requested in the sticky.
I try to do wireless man-in-the middle attack with my ASUS laptop and I've alreay got two wlan adaptors, a built-in Atheros NE-785H and a TP-LINK TL-W322G USB wireless adaptor. Either of them is to act as a rogue access point (soft AP). The biult-in adaptor works well but I just can't get the TP-LINK working properly.
I have alreay visited the threads below No Wireless with TP-LINK TL-WN322G found Problems with a TP-LINK TL-WN322G 54g Wireless USB Adapter (ZyDAS zd1211b Chipset ) HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link tp-link WN322G Wlan mit TP-LINK TL-WN322G
I'm running Karmic with 2.6.31-19, according to the Ubuntu help page it should work out of the box, but it just wouldn't work for me. I only got it working with ndiswrapper, which is clearly not what I want to use since it's not supported by aircrack-ng.
Here are results after running modprobe -v zd1211rw
Code: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release. insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic/updates/cw/zd1211rw.ko then lsmod | grep zd
Have tried methods from every thread I could find for past 10 hrs. Have tried installing rt3070sta etc.Monitored message log; appears that the driver isn't recognized, though the USB port sees that something is plugged in (when I plug in the adapter, and unplug it).All of the threads miss something; I can't get a wireless port listed under ifconfig no matter what I try. Seems that every method leaves out something (I guess because everyone's box is different in some way). Network manager doesn't help much. Downloaded Wicd, which does even less.I guess I could try ndiswrapper, but I'm scared away by the hundreds of pages I see on going that route; I'm almost certain it wouldn't work (1000 possible points of failure).Does anyone have a strategy to recommend?AM64 box, newly installed Edubuntu 10.04, ran update manager.
like to create symbolic links on our server which will work from any work station.I guess the problem is that they use absolute paths.Since the absolute path is different from each workstation, they don't work except for the computer on which they were created.Is there a way to make them use relative paths instead?
I'm a new user of Ubuntu, so i'm not that familiar with this OS. My wireless network is detected but when I'm entering my 128 bits WEP key, it doesn't connect at all. I have no clue where to start troubleshooting.
Here's some of my specs if that's of any help: Computer is a Sony Vaio laptop model VGN-SZ370P My wireless card is from Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller
The ethernet cable connection used to work before, but I fooled around with some commands and now seems to be disabled...
I've got a new HP Compaq Mini 110c-1110SD. I've booted Ubuntu UNR 10.04 Beta2 from a USB stick and at first it seemed like everything worked so I installed it (dual boot with the installed Win XP which works fine, no network problems)
But .. I forgot to check if internet worked. Since I don't have a wireless, I plugged in a cable and the Auto eth0 showed up as connected.
Looks good, but I can't get internet to work. Local browsing on my LAN works ok, but getting on the internet doesn't work neither does apt-get so updating is a problem too. Strangely enough, ping does work ...
I thought it had to do with UNR being a beta, so I've booted from a live UNR 9.10 usb stick, but same problem, no wired internet.
I'm totally stumped. I've been running Ubuntu since 2007 on several PC's and never had any problems with networking.
I am trying to make a d-link dwl-650+ pcmcia card work through ndiswrapper method following the direction at:[URl]... The first step there is to install the "kmod-ndiswrapper" via yum.
But, how would I just download this package to a usb drive so that I can transfer it to the laptop that needs wireless networking. Is there an option in yum where I can just download the package, not intstall, so that I can save it somewhere?
I just installed Fedora 15 yesterday and can't get wi-fi to work. When I click 'on' on the Wireless label, it goes back to 'off' immediately. When I open the Network Settings menu and disable Airplane mode, the Wireless connection goes on and then off immediately. I took a look at /var/log/messages and it shows this:
i'd like to extend that ma intel wifi link 5100 is not detected no more after perform upgrade package( upgrade the kernel too ). when im using command 'lshw -C network' , there is appear to be detected, but not on command 'iwconfig' or even 'ifconfig' it just show nothin. also network-manager no longer show that ma wireless is work properly anymore.
the old kernel : 2.6.25-22 ( my wireless detected and usable ) the new kernel : 2.6.25-23 ( my wireless detected and unusable )
I'm trying to compile libetpan-0.57 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.2 64-bit and it is refusing to link against the 64 bit system libraries. I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried to hack libtool, run the command make was trying to run manually and changing the library search paths but nothing works. When I run the command make tried to run manually and change -L/usr/lib to -L/usr/lib64 most of the "skipping incompatible" library messages disappear except for "/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format." Below is the output when I run make code...
my long awaited WUA-1340 D-Link wifi adapter has arrived, and...unfortunately won't work it didn't work "out of the box", so I tried the following (found on the aircrack website)Here's what I did....1. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add blacklist rt73usb as a new line.2. RebootThen,
Code: wget http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3.tar.bz2 tar -xjf rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3.tar.bz2
I have a problem where I'm using Ubuntu linux to mount a Windows Vista machine's USB drive and access it on the web using Apache. I did have the USB drive plugged into the Linux machine directly and that was working via the web. FollowSymLinks is on in httpd.conf
[Code]....
The mount works and I can see the files (see above) from my regular linux user account. If I make a test file in /mnt and soft link to that, I can see it on the web. So it's just the mount to the vista machine that seems to be a problem. It's supposed to be a simple read-only mount and the apache login should (I think) be able to see the same generic root access permissions.
log from apache: [Mon Apr 26 20:39:42 2010] [error] [client 99.99.99.99] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /home/user1/pub_html/Music, referer: https://xx.xx.xx/~user1/music.html
The credentials have a login and password that matches a special read-only account on Vista. I can see the files on the system from Linux, but not via the web. As mentioned above, a different link to the same /mnt area works fine via the web. I've tried several different mount options with no success.
I am running 10.04 on a desktop with a standard 1/8" microphone plugged in and receive no input audio. I bought a new microphone and still doesn't work, boot to WinXP and microphone works fine. Speakers using same audio card work fine in 10.04 and WinXP.
My shift key does not work. Stopped working last night. If you're wondering how I got the caps in here I have to hit the capslock button every time. However, I cannot use anything that pertains to the shift key, it started last night. every time i hit the shift key the cursor disappears and no characters appear when i hit the keyboard.
I created 3 new accounts on the linux then made identical samba accounts to match. For some reason when i input the information to log into a shared directory it doesn't work. my original login works fine, code...
not sure why it doesn't work, i logged into the server with my other accounts. is there a step im missing?
I am unable to run compiz or set any advanced desktop effects in my Ubuntu 9.10 running under VMware Workstation 7.1. This is the output of the compiz command:
Checking for Xgl: not present. xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log No whitelisted driver found aborting and using fallback: xterm no xterm found, exiting
Just made a clean installation of the new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS this morning. So far, so good. Things are working smooth but there is one thing that bothers me - Skype (latest version). Here's a list of what's wrongSo this isn't just a Skype issue.
I am using Suse 11.1 on a 64-bit computer. Some time ago, I was helped on these forums to get a Brother MFC-640CW printer/scanner to work by downloading the relevant drivers from the Brother website. Although the printer works fine, when I attempt to scan something into the computer nothing happens. A pop up box appears on screen when the printer is used with an XP OS. Can anybody suggest a way to get the scanner working?
In some sites I find a link named "Magnet Link". If I click it, the browser says:

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any program.These sites are p2p (peer to peer) download ones. Perhaps Magnet Link has some advantage over normal torrents and it's a pity I can't profit by it.
OS: CentOS 5.4 x64 I give up. How do I get Java to work with 64 bit Firefox (yes Java is installed)?
in 32 bit, it is <code>ln -s /usr/java/latest/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/.</code> I can not even find a libjavaplugin_oji.so in x64!
Recently, I have been unable to get the link to Georgia State Parks to work in Ubuntu on three different computers: I have 10.04 on my desktop, 9.10 on one laptop, and Linux Mint 9 on my wife's laptop. This link fails with an error message of: XML Parsing Error:mismatched tag. Expected: </img> All the machines are dual boot, and the link works fine on all three using Windows XP and Vista.
I'm trying to clean a hard drive and I'm using secure-delete but it just stands there and takes cpu power but nothing happens, I used -r switch first and nothing, so I tried it on single files, small pictures worked as intended but a simple 50MB MPG file just stands there as well and nothing happens.
I left it running for 24 hours and nothing happened but the cpu was working at 90-100% all the time :/
