I just got a new HP G62 457dx and when I turn it on, it is not recognizing my wireless network, which all my other computers find fine. What do I need to do to get it to see the network?

I am a Windows refugee who discovered Ubuntu as a way to save my files from my virus-ravaged computer. Had no installation discs for Windows, so when I had to wipe my hard drive and start over, I decided to give Ubuntu a try. I've had mixed success, but that's another post...
Right now, the problem is that I installed 10.10 two weeks ago and was able to connect to the Internet with no problems - until yesterday. Suddenly, our wireless network (the only one in the vicinity) does not come up as available in Network Manager. In fact, the entire wireless option disappeared. I know there are many posts and threads on here about this, but weeding through them trying to find an answer is more frustrating than actually dealing with the problem. I know the router works because I can post on this forum from the Macbook. I really like Ubuntu and would like to keep using it, but not being able to connect to the Internet now on top of the other issues I've had is making me doubt I want to continue down this Linux road.
P.S. When I attempted an analysis through System Testing, it said something about there being no proprietary drivers?
I am using a Toshiba Laptop model P205D-S7802 with an atheros wireless card. Since I upgraded to 10.04 I am unable to connect to the internet unless I use an ethernet cable. I have been surfing the threads for a fix and have tried what has been posted but to no avail.

my card is not recognized in any way by ifconfig or iwconfig as shown below, but is visible via lsusb. It is 54Mb usb, and has a detachable antenna with the Atheros chipset shown below. I have removed (by #) the ath_pci from the blacklist under /etc/modprobe.d but cannot seem to start this still. I used compat-wireless-2010-06-01 (06-12 appeared to have errors I could not easily overcome). The lspci -nn command only shows my internal broadcom which I am not currently using. My goal is to do wireless research so I need the atheros (among others)...

Seems to me that their should only be one ath9k driver, but several are loaded. Are all required for functionality perhaps?
I am using ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have an modded xbox (original) running xbmc4xbox as well as a xbox 360 and neither of the two are recognizing by ubuntu on the network. For this post I will refer to the xbox (original) for simplicity I'm hoping.
O.K. I've tried a couple different things, and SUDO APT has become apart of my life, but once again not sure where or what is best & i end up trying them all. For instance Upnp, samba configurations, mediatomb. Also, when I go to Places>Network>Windows Network I receive this message "Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server" I dont know what to address first. And I'm not sure how to work those programs, for I'm a novice to linux computing and surly that part of the problem. But I have read scores of forums and post as well as ..... videos and my system is not doing what it supposed to do. I figure with the ubuntu desktop at etho0 and the down stairs xbox plugged in the same linksys router and another xbox up stairs connected through wireless adapter and they all connect to the internet fine I am even able to connect between both xbox's and share files. I should be able to see my network on ubuntu. But i don't. I'm completely stumped and have been at this for, well I embarrassed to say as I am a computer repair tech by trade. But I need help I really want to stream movies to my chidrens rooms and my new Apex 40" Class 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV - Black (LD408
I installed ldap on my server and one of my client machines yesterday.It also now won't let me get into graphical utilities that require root privileges; synaptic for example. It comes back with "incorrect password". I noticed that in the terminal it now requires me to enter two passwords to become root: the root password and the ldap password. I wonder if the two are related.I'm not sure what information to post; there's a ton of configuration files associated with this setup. Can somebody help me troubleshoot this? Thanks!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am new to Linux and actually just finished my install about 30 minutes ago. Ubuntu 10.04 isn't recognizing my wireless adapter, so I need to install the drivers. I know where the drivers are, I just don't know how to install them on a Linux system.
Here is the driver page. I don't know how to download the .inf file (necessary?) but I have ndiswrapper, bcmwl5.sys, and sp33008.exe all in the downloads folder.
Apparently just double clicking the files does nothing, so what do I do now?
I'm having some issues with openSUSE 11.2 recognizing my Broadcom adapter. Following the instructions in the two stickied topics, I can find the adapter both under YaST's Hardware Summary and using the console command /sbin/lspci. I cannot, however, find it with /sbin/lspci -n, and the boot log (viewed with dmesg | less) makes no mention of it either.
Do I need to turn it on or something? This is a dual boot machine, and it works fine under Windows, so I don't think there's a hardware failure at play here.
I recently reformatted and dual partitioned to both Windows 7 as well as ubuntu 10.10. Loading works fine and Windows 7 is 100% operational. I cannot seem to get my wireless network adapter to be read by Ubuntus 'Windows Wireless Drivers' gui. Here are the steps that I have done THUS far, to make sure that we are all on the right path. Before I go any further, my wireless network adapter is an old school WUSB11 Linksys Wireless Network Adapter (running version 2.6).
1) Downloaded and installed "ndiswrapper" from ubuntu's main website. I downloaded the common, utils and ndisgtk files and installed them accordingly.
2) I extracted these three files to the desktop of Ubuntu and accessed the terminal page.
3) From terminal I typed "cd Desktop" to change the directory to the desktop.
4) Next, I typed in "Sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common_1.54-2ubuntu1_all.deb
Sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.54-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
Sudo dpkg -i ndisgtk_0.8.5-1_i386.deb"
5) This installed Windows Wireless Drivers gui successfully and I can access it.
6) I have downloaded the driver files for the adapter from the cisco website and searched them for the required files needed.
7) After extracting the .INF file from the "Drivers" directory named "NETUSB.SYS" (I wasn't sure if the other associated files within the same folder needed to be present together with NETUSB so I moved everything to the desktop) I typed in "sudo ndiswrapper -i NETUSB.inf". After accessing the Windows Wireless Drivers gui I have noticed that the 'netusb' driver is present yet under it, the system states "Hardware present: No". This leads me to believe that maybe I installed incorrectly or my "fireware?" is not present? I was reading through the installation guide posted on the ubuntu website that in addition to the .INF file we also need the BIN file(s)? and SYS file(s)?.. The folder with the drivers for my adapter contains a BIN file but it is not within the "Drivers" section of the folder.
9) Upon mousing over the network Icon naturally my hardware is still not present.
10) From what I gather after the system finds the hardware I am to write into the terminal

my wireless home network is not recognized by my network card (RealTek RTL8190 mini PCI). The post was as follows: "I am using a new computer with Windows 7 , Athlon quad core 2.60 64 bit, 8GB RAM. Internet conection works fine with ethernet but ubuntu does not see my wireless network. card (RealTek RTL 8190 ID: 10ec:8190). Have searched this forum but unable to come up with a fix. I was looking for windows XP drivers to use Ndiswrapper but could not find a list of .inf files. My network is OK and works perfectly in windows and with my 2 laptops. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Additional info: install was done within Windows using WUBI to a separate partition on my HDD. I am new to this and thouroughly confused as to the procedure for installing the drivers if they are in fact available."
I am very frustrated in that I would like to use Ubuntu 10.04 but it is useless without internet connectability. I am new to linux and do not understand where to get the appropriate drivers or how to install them. I wish someone would answer this post and either give me a clue what to do or just say "give up" and uninstall ubunutu.
I am having a little trouble connecting to my wireless network. Running Fedora 10 32 bit.I'm trying to connect to a hidden wireless network. I updated the firmware for my driver but apparantly the driver is still not working. Broadcom has a driver from their website for Linux 32 bit systems. Should I attempt to install it? I read a post where the driver is built into the system kernel. If so I would need to blacklist the one of the drivers. Correct?

I managed to get the older, weaker box on the net and running simply by plugging in the Belkin N-wireless adapter, discovering the Network Manager icon (this really should also be accessible from the system pull-down menu), left clicking to see all the local networks, selecting mine, and inputting the security key, and rebooting. Voila!)However, on the newer, more powerful box, the network Manager gives me nothing but "Wired connection" at every boot (there is no such connection), I created a wireless connection under the settings (accessed through create VPN settings), but the Manager sees no wireless networks. Reboot solves nothing Network Manager is not seeing anything, I suspect that the card although powered by the USB, is not being seen by the system.

After trying to deal with a very frustrating problem in Ubuntu 11.04, which caused my Eee Pc 1001PX to freeze any time I connect it to a wireless network. It worked Perfectly using my ZTE WCDMA Mobile broadband modem though. I gave up - and Formatted my netbook, Downgrading it to Ubuntu 10.10. Now the problem is the exact opposite:
The Wireless works perfectly, But the Modem Is causing the trouble.
Here is the problem:
Whenever I reboot the Computer, It doesn't recognize the modem. If I right click the networks button on the top, go to edit connections, and Delete the mobile broadband connection I had previously configured, then unplug the device (usb) and reconnect it, The computer recognizes it, allowing me to reconfigure the connection (make a new mobile broadband connection). As you can guess, repeating this after every reboot is rather irritating.
Some Technical Details:
My pc: Asus Eee Pc 1001PX
My Mobile Modem: Zte WCDMA Netstick.
When I tried to update my Kernel, the Wireless Problem from Ubuntu 11.04 was back, and I had to reformat.
I'm running fedora 8 and i have a TEW-424ub. I recently ditched windows, and the only disk i could get was a Fedora 8 dvd. I used ndiswrapper to get my driver installed, then I used the iwconfig commands to hook myself up to my wireless. However, every time i do the command
Code:
My comp freezes up. I then decided to use the GUI to set it up, as it might be less aggravating. It found my network, i input the key, double-check, and it atttempts to connect, then asks me once again.'
Also, if I go to Network Configuration, and activate my ndiswrapper device, it gives me the error & my comp freezes up "Set Encode" (8B2A) SET failed on device wlan0:0 ; Invalid argument.
When i click the button to connect to a wireless network this message apears:Network management disabled

View 9 Replies View RelatedI only just installed Ubuntu 11.04 dual booted with Windows 7 which I have been using all this while. On Windows 7, I use a protected wireless network. I also have access to a wired network. Both the wireless and wired network work perfectly on 7.

However, once Ubuntu 11.04 completed installation, its no longer able to detect the wireless network! It's not even connecting to my wired network.

I configure the box using a cable. I'm using WPA2-PSK and it is clearly authenticating OK.. It gets an IP address.. the AP shows a connection to the box. My XP laptop connects to the access point OK.. just can't connect to the box via the wireless, and it can't see the network using wireless.
I have followed a number of threads on connecting Atheros 9XXX wireless [URL] but no joy.
Also, can Ubuntu connect to the AP at any speed greater than 54MB? My windows PC connects at 144MB+ . Will ndiswrappers connect at those sorts of speeds?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi - I am new to Linux and Ubuntu so I have no idea how to fix or problem solve unfortunately I installed Ubuntu 9.10 from scratch recently on this laptop and all was good. I connected to my WIFI network no problem. It's WPA PSK encrypted, DHCP enabled. I just set it up in Network Manager and it was all fine. Then after a few days I installed a printer and some packages and updates via synaptics. The network connection started dropping after 20 mins or so. Only a reboot would restore it - auto connects at first, runs fine till it drops then never will reconnect. I posted on here, someone gave me some lines to put in a config file. I tried that. I didn't seem to help much, problem remained. Yesterday I checked for updates and there were a whole bunch so I just installed them all. Now I cannot connect at all. I have deleted and recreated the connection in Network Manager but it doesn't help. It tries to establish a connection but never achieves it. I am connecting to the internet now on the same laptop booted into Windows, so all the hardware is fine.
Can anyone who knows about ubuntu networking help? Do I need to do a complete reinstall? Seems a bit much, but it worked when I initially installed the OS. I want to like Ubuntu, but something as basic as connecting to the internet is pretty vital so reluctantly having to start using Windows again...

Disconnected - you are now offline.
I only have a wireless connection since the router is in another part of the house, and this is really frustrating me that this stuff doesn't just work on install like OSX and Windows does.
I want to setup a wireless network in my lab. Main reason is that I want to be able to print from every computer, but it would also be nice if we can share files. I have three 64 bit machines, a netbook and 32 bit notebook and my internet goes via an Wifi router to which other Windoooze machines connect. I want to change to Lucy now and hope it is easier to setup the network in clean manner.
