Ubuntu Networking :: Ethernet And Wireless Not Working On HP Dv6500
Feb 13, 2010
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my HP dv6500, and neither the wireless won't work. I don't see any drivers under System >> Administration >> Hardware Drivers, and I can't connect it to the internet any other way when I'm running Ubuntu. (I still have Vista as a dual-boot, and it works fine there). (Sorry about the title - the ethernet DOES actually work, but I can't seem to change the title of the post).
My laptop was working fine on wireless till the userinterface changed and it defaulted to ethernet and now it won't let me go back on wireless How do i disable ethernet?
atheros-firmware and firmware-realtek are installed from repo.
ifconfig does not show the network devices:
ifconfig -a does show them, i ran the commands ifconfig eth1 up and ifconfig wlan1 up, which resulted in them showing when typing ifconfig, however both still are not working.
(ifconfig)Also eth1 is only showing an inet6 address not an inet/ipv4 address and wlan1 doesn't show any.
Checked the bios and noticed that network devices were enabled so i don't think its my bios.
Also ran a SystemRescueCd which i got from here: [URL] .... With this live cd, the networking was working.
I have been using Ubuntu for quite a while now (~3 years.) I recently installed 10.10 on an HP Mini 1000. The installation went fine, but now I am puzzling over how to connect to the internet. When I plug an ethernet cable into the netbook, the port light lights up, but the system does absolutely nothing. Under the connections menu on the top panel, it just says disconnected. Also, the wireless connection section states that the device is not ready because firmware is not installed. Most solutions I see for problems of this kind are to download the drivers, but I cannot do that because neither connection works.
i'm a beginner with ubuntu and i installed 11.04 yesterday (so not yet familiar with the new desktop configuration). Also, I have the french version so i'll do my best to translate the terms in english. I have a major problem: i can't connect to internet by ethernet cable or by wireless. The network icon is always empty. It doesn't detect the ethernet cable and the wireless networks around. I've tried different things i found on forums. I'v reinstalled the b43 package and rebooted. At the beginning i was only having problem with the wireless; i could connect via ethernet. But on one forum, a dude suggested the command
I just upgraded to 10.04. I had wireless connection for 1 day and now nothing. No ethernet connection either. I CAN use both wireless and ethernet using my machine on Windows.....so the connection stuff does work. Here's the output of of the commands I got from the "sticky". I can't display the output as this forum puts it all together as one continuous sentence with no line break!
I have a Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4030 running on Ubuntu 10.04. When I plug an ethernet cable into the ethernet port, simply nothing happens, and when I try to connect to my wireless network, it connects but there is no actual internet available. I'm sure the wireless works as I'm on an older model Toshiba Satellite and it connects fine (running Ubuntu 10.04 as well.) I tried to follow the procedure in the stickied thread, so when I type in these commands, here's what shows up:
Lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 Host Bridge Alternate 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems Device 9602 00:04.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 0)
I am trying to get this laptop`s wireless to connect to my router or any wireless connection. It does not have an ethernet port,so it has been tough.I have been reading everything i can,but cant get it to work.Maybe I need a different wireless card or a usb adapter.The one I have is a Texas Intruments acx100.Can anyone tell me if this should work.I have ndiswrapper installed and the windows driver for it but still nothing.
I'm having a strange problem with my ethernet card. In previous installs of 10.10 on this same computer, I've never had any trouble with either my wireless or my wired internet. However, after messing around with some other distros, I recently did a fresh install of 10.10 on this computer, and now only wireless internet is working. When I plug in an ethernet cable, I do not get connected.
One difference between this install and the previous installs is that, previously, I had always installed while connected to the internet via ethernet. This time I did it while connected wirelessly. I've tried methods from other threads, but I've had no luck. In particular, I have trouble "make install"ing the official Atheros driver, and I've installed the compat-wireless driver atl1c, but I'm still not getting a connection.
Here is the relevant output of lspci -vv: Code: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 396b Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 45 Region 0: Memory at d2000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] Region 2: I/O ports at 6000 [size=128] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: atl1c Kernel modules: atl1c After a reboot, my ethernet is now working. I don't understand, but I'm happy.
When I start my Ubuntu machine, it says "eth0 connection established". But i could not able to ping to other machines available in LAN & also to Internet.
have used f14 since it came out with no problems, little niggles and whatnot have been sorted by reading these forums and googling but I'm now out of my depth.problems started when I installed f15 from disc and no ethernet or wireless was useable. Inserting wire leads to it announcing it's unplugged again a few mins later and trying to connect wireless never resolves.I thought it was a quirk and would go back to f14 for a few weeks but after re-installing that was now the same. So I tried live discs of crunchbang and debian6 -same. However puppy linux sees the ethernet fine.So my question is how do I enable ethernet and/or wireless in f15 (installed again after checking with puppy)?
I've tried everything listed in these forums but every time I run sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode master Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
I tried the STA drivers and get the same thing except the kernel module loaded is wl instead of b43. Is it even possible to set this card to master mode? I can't find jack on the net. uname -r 2.6.31-19-generic
I have a Dell Studio 1501 Laptop and I want to bridge the wireless with the ethernet port so I can hook my xbox360 to my laptop.
I've spent the last 2 hours trying different techniques but nothing is working.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 so the last thing I tried was going into the network manager, clicking on wired, editing the ethernet port and allowing it to share. This did nothing.
I tried to share the connect with firestarter but that did not work either.
I tried to setup a connection as below but face some problem (probably route table setting incorrect). Hope if anyone could shed the light.Basically, I have a PC1 (.1) and PC2 (.130) connected via a PC router. PC router has 2 interfaces: wireless (.2) and ethernet (.129). PC1 connects to PC router via LAN cable/wireless interface, while PC2 connects to PC router via cable. This settings try to simulate 1 wireless connection along the path (and because PC2 is too old to support wireless interface, we need a PC router). These interfaces are all under same 172.16.130.x subnet.
I am using an Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN built in adapter.
When I was prompted for a system-update I clicked Update and apparently something failed an only a partial-update happened. Now my wireless/Ethernet connections do not work. I tried enabling all Network Adapters but that option is no longer available in the "Preference/Administration" tab.
Note: I cannot access the internet at all on that partition so I can't download any updates from repositories.
My wireless works flawlessly (aside from my generally crappy signal ahaha), but when I decided to do a minimal Ubuntu live install on my netbook [Asus Eee 1005PE] (I tried both 10.04 and 10.10 with the same results), it wouldn't pick up my ethernet.
I decided just to load up my existing OS (Ubuntu 10.04 32-Bit) and got the same thing.
The wireless, as stated before, works without a problem, and it's weird, because the wireless manager says that knows the ethernet connection is there, but it won't connect to it...
[Edit: I did play around with different combinations in the BIOS (ie: lan enabled, wlan disabled, ect...)
After installing fedora 13(x86_64) in my new acer aspire timelinex 4820T laptop , I have seen that the ethernet is not working. Network manager shows that "no network devices available".
I have just installed a generic PCI ethernet card into a fairly low powered system (Celeron 766MHZ, 512mb Ram, 40 Gb HDD, Generic sound and video). The card came with no drivers. I have since installed Ubuntu 9.10, and up to a point everything is fine and looks great. However when I connect an ethernet cable up to the PCI card (in the hope of connecting with the Internet), nothing happens. I am thinking that I need Ubuntu drivers for the PCI card ? or does Ubuntu 9.10 come with drivers and I need to go into the 'engine room' to sort it all out ?
I've set up 10.04 Server so that I could install directly to a command line, due to the fact that Desktop was crashing during the install every time. The installation goes fine, except for the networking portion. DHCP fails every time I try it. So I set up a static IP as an alternative. Once installation completes, none of the network-oriented tools (ping, telnet) work. I've tried pinging my router and I get 'Destination Host Unknown'. This is true if I change to a DHCP oriented setup as well.
The router sees that the machine is there, as indicated by the slowly blinking connection light meaning that it's hooked up to *something* but there's no activity. Also, networking did work within Windows before I nuked it, so I know it has the ability to operate correctly. I'm at a loss, mostly due to my own newness and ignorance of how to start tackling this within this environment.
Version: Ubuntu 10.04 Relavant hardware: P5QL Pro built-in ethernet, cable modem with linksys wireless-G router (although problem is with ethernet connection, not wireless)
One minute my ethernet was working, and the next it stopped working. The only thing that I did between it working and not working was install electricsheep from Synaptic and then I shut down the computer. When I restarted a bit later, no ethernet connection shows up.
I checked the cables, made sure they are in tight.
My laptop connects using the same ethernet cable fine. So its not the cable or the router.
I reset the router and the computer at the same time. Still doesn't work.
I don't know where to even start with troubleshooting this sort of problem. Everything to the extent of my computer knowledge seems to be working fine.
I upgraded to the newest version of Ubuntu a few months ago, and ever since then, the ethernet connection to my router stops working when I restart the machine. It eventually comes back, but after varying amounts of time. Sometimes 20 minutes, sometimes 2 days.
Restarting the computer and cycled reboots of the router don't seem to have any beneficial effect, at least that I can detect.
The light for the slot on the router does not light up like it normally would, so it's almost like the OS doesn't even recognize the network card.
I am using ubuntu 9 but unable to connect to internet via my usb Siemens c110 modem. I have a dual boot system of both windows7 and ubuntu9. I am using the same modem in windows7 and have installed virtualbox where i have installed the same ubuntu9 but there it automatically detects the wired connection(usb)[eth0] but in the actual boot it doesnt detect anything. I have typed in the terminal sudo ppconfig but it was unable to find anything.
The on-board NIC on my machine died this morning, so I've just gone out and bought a replacement PCI card. The card has been recognised by Karmic, but it's not working. /var/log/messages says:
Code: May 9 11:21:58 ian-desktop kernel: [ 2.082324] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded May 9 11:21:58 ian-desktop kernel: [ 2.082334] r8169 0000:04:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[Code]....
how I install the appropriate driver (noting that I have to sneakernet files across via usb stick), or any other diagnostics I should try?
I tried to setup sharing to connect Ethernet and wireless. I want Ethernet connected to desktop A, and wireless connected to another laptop(B), with my laptop acting as an AP. I set the network settings in Firestarter: Internet for wireless, local network for Ethernet. I want to share Internet from laptop B over the network. Internet won't work from my laptop since it seems to use the wrong interface.(Since the desktop is sharing Internet, although not on Internet usually when connected via Ethernet. And of course DNS/Gateway IPs aren't set for wlan0 since it's acting as an AP.) SMB wouldn't work for desktop A and laptop B: laptop B could detect desktop, but reports error "Path not found".
Problem:I got a new Acer Aspire 8935G notebook, installed Ubuntu 9.10 on it and everything is fine, except the fact, that it wont detect any network interfaces (or how to call it So there are no ethernet or wlan connections available in the network-manager..

I'm been wanting to try Ubuntu for a while now, and when my mom's netbook started to get insanely slow with WinXP, I tried the Netbook Remix on a USB stick. I LOVE it, except I am unable to get the wireless working, which is the only thing stopping me right now from a full install.
I believe my problem is that I need to activate the two drivers "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" and "Broadcom STA wireless driver" which appear as unactivated when I go into the hardware drivers admin tools. Unfortunately this netbook (HP Mini Netbook FW376UA) does not have an Ethernet port, so I can't just temporarily hard wire it to activate these drivers.
So my main questions are: 1) How can I activate those drivers without an internet connection?, and 2) Do you think that activating these drivers is indeed the answer to getting the wireless working?
The details: Machine: HP Mini Netbook FW376UA Network Controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook
I absolutely love Lubuntu on VirtualBox. I installed it to my Compaq Mini CQ-10 without issue. However, there are no drivers for the Wireless or the NIC. Ok, so I go to Broadcom and download the drivers. But, when I try to install with the Makefile, Terminal tells me that make is not installed! Now, how do I install my drivers without make?
I'm running on 11.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1764, and so far haven't been able to achieve internet access through either a direct wired connection or wireless.
