I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu Desktop. When I do a "lsusb" I can see the device present but the light is not on and I cannot see the wireless router.
Amazing that I can be at version 11.04 and it still doesn't see a wireless device and install it.
So, my guess is that I have to root around about 5 different places and gather up a bunch of files so I can get this running.
i'm having problems connecting to the internet unless i manually enter the IP info.
automatic DHCP does not work. I'm on a dual boot machine vista/ubuntu 10.04 LTS connecting to the internet through a lynksys wireless g router and a cable modem.
How can we list only files present in a directory in Redhat linux.The LS commands lists both the files and the directories. What command can be used for the above purpose.

I am using ubuntu 10.10 on a ZOTAC IONITX-A-U Atom N330 1.6GHz Dual-Core Mini ITX Intel Motherboard and since I have upgraded from 10.04 I no longer have blue tooth capabilities. I have a logitech mx 5500 wireless keyboard and mouse, which uses a bluetooth dongle. This is the strange part as they have both been working until recently.
They both lost their charge and after replacing the batteries in my keyboard it no longer is able to connect. The mouse however works fine, until I dropped it So I bought a microsoft explorer mouse which came with its own bluetooth dongle. Which I plugged in and the mouse works fine.
But when I go to System> Preferences> Bluetooth
I get Bluetooth adapter not present and Your computer does not have any Bluetooth adapters plugged in.
I have spent the last week googling this and can't seem to find any relevant info.
I ran this in terminal code...
Am I wrong in assuming that the logitech and microsoft dongles are being seen?
I have also removed and reinstalled bluetooth and bluetooth manager in the software centre, and the same with synaptic package manager, to no avail.
With both dongles plugged in could this also cause a problem?
Is there another way of starting the bluetooth?
i installed linux on this laptop around 2 years ago (hp g6000 laptop) with internal wireless card and was unable to get the internal wireless card to work under ubuntu. so i purchased a linux supported usb wifi stick, which worked perfectly (connected automatically on boot) each time. however, i moved house recently and lost this usb wifi stick. i am currently using a ethernet connection to my hub and have updated ubuntu to the current version. all software is also up to date. since i lost my old wifi stick, i have used this connection, however, yesterday when i was on videos, all of a sudden (without me having done anything {intentionally anyway}) i see the wireless connection graphic at the top right of the screen! both green dots lit and the connection was live! so i disconnected the ethernet and used the wifi all night without a hitch.
i was extremely happy with what had happened and could not work out why it had decided to work (having not been aware to doing anything, except sit and watch a videos video). so i shut down, go to bed, go to work the next day and come home looking forward to browsing the web from my sofa, and guess what, no internet connection once i logged in! i just think 'if it worked last night, it can work now'. i have ndiswrapper and i have the .inf driver file for the internal card installed in ndiswrapper. i have opened that tonight and it looks okay - except it says 'hardware present: no'. i do not understand what has happened at all. (also there is a wifi 'on off' switch on the front of the laptop, with an orange led but neither position makes any difference to the card working or not and it hasnt changed positions since i moved house (to the best of my knowledge anyway).
Using Ubuntu on a new toshiba satellite laptop, have setup almost everything but the bluetooth. When I try to initiate the bluetooth, I get an error message "No bluetooth adapters present" "Your computer does not have any bluetooth adapters plugged in"
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having some bizarre problems with a 10.10 install which I am hoping someone here can give me a little input on. Some background info: I have a laptop which I had originally put 10.10 on about 4 weeks ago. I was using the Network Manager applet to change the MAC address by entering a valid MAC in the "Cloned MAC Address" field, and then connecting to a network. This suited me fantastically as the applet applies the MAC to any interface that connects - ie. the internal Intel card or the more often used external USB RTL8187L. For reasons which would take a lot of explaining (and now kicking ones self in the head) I had to install Windoze on the machine for a week to get some specific stuff done - but have now come back to 10.10.
The problem: So just as before, I installed 10.10, connected to my router (without changing MAC) installed system updates and other packages such as Macchanger etc and got the system working and customised how I like it. Problem is, now when I enter an address in the Cloned MAC address field and attempt to connect, the applet just sits there with the pulsing waves likes it's trying to connect but it cannot. Whilst this is happening, ifconfig -a shows that the MAC has indeed been changed. Until I remove the Cloned MAC address entry, I cannot hop on my router - or any other for that matter. Before, these steps were enough to ensure correct and functional cloning.
Things to know: This happens whether I am logged in as me or root. There is no MAC address filtering on 3 routers I have tested on (different brands). There is only MAC filtering on a 4th, and in that case, the cloned MAC is in the routers whitelist. This happens whether I specify IP details and if DHCP is used. All 3 routers without MAC control have been reset. All settings to do with wlan0/wlan1 in the network applet have been removed and re-entered. It happens on 2 different wifi cards (Intel and RTL8187L) but they worked before re-installation. I have also tried the usual commands in the terminal such as:
su
ifconfig wlan0 down
macchanger --mac (mac here) wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up
also tried hwaddress ether 12:34:56:78:90:00 etc - The problem doesn't seem to be in changing the MAC, more the functionality of wlan0/wlan1 afterwards. I have also tried (although, it worked fine without this before) adding lines to /etc/rc.local and /etc/network/interfaces. It would be worth noting that either networking was restarted or the machine was rebooted after each alteration. No avail.
I can't think of anything significantly different that I have done to this re-installation compared to the first time, so I am not sure if perhaps in the time that it took me to reinstall 10.10, a package update has come out which has altered something and it's chucking a spanner in the works. Having said that, I even reinstalled AGAIN without applying any updates and same result. I would consider myself moderately experienced with Linux - so I am pretty sure that I am not making a complete n00b mistake... this situation is just so puzzling. I have been googling for quite some time and can find others with similar problems, but no actual solution.
I have a network drive connect to my lan with iomega's iconnect device. I am getting tired of mounting the drive manually each time I want to use it. I would like therefore to have it mounted automatically on boot by placing a line in fstab, but since the computer (a laptop) won't always be connected to my home lan, this might cause problems. Is there a way to list the drive in fstab so if the drive is not present it will just move on?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have swapped out four known working, different bran network cards. Each one I get the same error as in the subject. If I boot to a Live CD such as CentOs 5.3 LiveCD both Nics are given an IP. This seems to only be happening with my CentOs 5.3 server install.I noticed the CentOS Live CD the Nics were reversed from eth0 to eth1 and eth1 to eth0.
At the moment as of the output of the commands, I am running two identical Nics, since the first one has always worked. I have previously used an rtl8139, 3com c3905-TX, onboard Rhine III based (now disabled) Here are steps I have done to try and figure this out:

I went through the system-config-network-tui. I copied /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to the ifcfg-eth0 and edited for sanity. and as stated earlier, have swapped out four different nics for eth0, and booted to two different LiveCD's. Both LiveCD's work fine.
I recently upgraded mu Fedora 13 to Fedora 14, I decided to add another NIC that I assumed it'll be eth1, when I boot the PC and typed #ifconfig eth0, eth1, lo appears. But when I typed #setup eth1 is not present. Why is that? I remembered doing this in Centos 5.5 but it automatically appears after I added a NIC and boot the pc? what should I do?

I have installed Linux SuSE 10.3 on a PC (Lenovo Thinkstation A58). However, when I start the computer I get the following error message:
"No valid Host_ID or host-name found."
I then use YaST to set up the network. I get the following error message:
"Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present."
The computer has Windows 7 installed and everything seems to work fine. The LED on the Ethernetplug is blinking when using Windows, but not when using Linux. I guess this means that there is no driver for the Ethernet card (Marvell Yukon 88E8057). I have not found any driver for the card and am considering buying a new one. Which PCI card works with SuSE Linux 10.3?
Ethernet card works, but Wireless card activation fails at bootup time. It also fails if I try it again from the Network Configuration UI.
I have provided some output I got from initial exploration.
I upgraded to a recent version of the 2.6 kernel.
uname -a: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.28.7 #1 SMP Sat Mar 14 19:04:11 PDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have installed the correct firmware hopefully.
cd /lib/firmware ls
Output is:
I do have the bcm* files for firmware.
output of lspci is:
Last two lines show the that Wireless card BCM4312 is visible.

After a lot of trouble with periodical success getting a HP Deskjet F2420 working and then again not working through this router I thought I had bricked it altogether. Got it back by 30-30-30-method, but now I cannot get through to it, the IP address 192.168.1.1 is not working, somehow. Need to find out if it is recognizing my printer and to see if the connection is protected or open. How the heck can the address all of a sudden not work when the router is working and my Windows (huh...) laptop is connecting OK??? Is there any way of finding out the right address, through the Windows laptop "run" I typed "cmd" and then in the DOS prompt "ipconfig/all" and got a new address = 192.168.2.53, but that did not do any good, either.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI might as well start off by saying that I have the Linux-based Linksys WRT54GL router running the Tomato firmware. I've come up with an idea that I'm not sure is possible. Specifically, setting a router up to ban not by the MAC address of the network card, but by the operating system the machine itself is running.
This way someone could have, say, a laptop dual-booting Windows and Linux and would be unable to access the internal network if they are in Windows. However, if they reboot into Linux (or practically any other OS) they would be able to access the local network safely without the chance of spreading worms and whatever else garbage across the internal network. Similarly, other devices like Xbox 360s, Wiis, etc. would be unaffected since they don't run Windows. [Yes, 360 probably runs some highly modified NT kernel, but almost nothing else is similar to a Windows PC and the whole system is highly locked down by Microsoft, so I'd say it could be an exception.]
I was thinking of specifically banning Windows XP and lower (honestly as f***ed up as I've seen Vista and 7 get, I would consider banning those too...). The idea is to allow, well... everything that isn't Windows (except possibly Win7) to connect wirelessly to the local network.
Unfortunately, I cannot do anything like this just yet, and I'm in the planning stages, trying to figure out if it is even possible. There are unfortunately two computers in the house that aren't mine (one running Windows XP and another Windows 7... go figure, they came with it and either my sister refuses to use anything else or my mom's computer's wireless is a massive PITA to get to work in anything *besides* Windows). My guess is that this is either not possible or would be extremely hard to pull off. What do you guys think?
On the other hand, it would probably be possible to connect two routers to the incoming cable connection, giving them both different settings (SSIDs, WPA passwords, etc.) and only giving Windows users access to the outer router, but it'd be cool to be able to accomplish something like this with one router through its settings.
could any one tell me about the uses of linux operating system compared to windows operating system
