Ubuntu Networking :: Networkmanager Not Giving WPA Passphrase

Feb 21, 2010

I've set-up a Linksys WPC54G v5 wireless card using ndiswrapper and the appropriate Marvell driver. It seems to work ok. On my other laptop running Kubuntu with built-in wireless the routing all works fine - I just get prompted by Network Manager for the WPA passphrase and I'm away. However, when I try to connect to my wireless router on thix Xubuntu-based laptop I get really odd security options.

When I try to connect I get a security prompt asking me for a bewildering array of information. There are four basic authentication options under "WPA & WPA2 Enterprise": TLS, LEAP, Tunnelled TLS and Protected EAP. None of those offers a simple passphrase, they all have some combination of username & password with certificates and keys. If I try to connect to other networks in my area, some do just ask for a WPA passphrase, not that I know them to check!

OpenSUSE Wireless :: KDE Networkmanager Not Converting WEP Passphrase

Feb 6, 2011

My friend and I spent two weeks trying to find out why my openSUSE laptop wouldn't connect to his router using WEP. We finally figured out that the KDE networkmanager was not translating the passphrase into the hexidecimal number (default key #1). Once we entered the hexidecimal number, it connected with no problems. He uses Ubuntu on his test laptop (Windows guy). Ubuntu, and kubuntu via live CD, both connected only using the passphrase. I didn't have an openSUSE Gnome live CD to test weather this is KDE specific or not.

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.04.1 - Connection Asking For Passphrase And Disconnects

Sep 16, 2010

I have loaded ubuntu Lynx 10.04.1 as a dual boot behind XP home. I have wireless connection to the XP os via netgear wireless G router and USB 2.0 adapter. The network connection works well with the XP side. When I boot into ubuntu I am sure I have configured the network properly with the wep key and password and the network signal is alive in the work bar at the top of the screen. When I open Firefox and try to browse to ,say, ebay it asks for the passphrase again then tells me that FF is in work offline mode. When I correct this I get asked for the pass phrase again and the connection is disengaged. It just keeps asking for the passphrase and disconnecting. When I reboot into XP everything works perfectly again.

Ubuntu Networking :: TP-Link Router Not Giving 150 Mbps?

Mar 31, 2010

Details:

1. Using XP Pro SP3 (32-bit)
2. Laptop = Sony VAIO VGN-FZ140E
3. Recently purchased a TP-Link Router (TL-WR740N) which claims to give 150 Mbps speed

When connected, my Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN shows a speed of only 65 Mbps . A friend came over with his laptop (having Windows 7) and was able to get 150 Mbps speed. I even compared and the same web sites were opening with considerable difference on our laptops. Do I need to upgrade the driver?

Ubuntu Networking :: Giving Internet To Other Computers Without Router?

May 5, 2011

If I have a desktop with a USB wifi adapter connected to the internet through an ethernet cable, is it possible to create a wireless network using the adapter that will allow other users to connect to the internet through mine? I'm in a fairly low-tech place for the next few weeks and getting a router isn't likely.

If it's possible, anyone have links or instructions for how to do it?

Ubuntu Networking :: PC Giving Strange Results When Being Pinged

May 27, 2011

Right then... all DHCP
PEGASUS 192.168.0.101
When being pinged from another PC aok, but also pings back on 192.168.0.100? When being pinged from itself using ping 192.168.0.101 (or 100) all is well - when pinged as ping PEGASUS is says following:

64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.033 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.044 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.042 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms
^C64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=0.042 ms

The IP says its 127.0.0.1 (home) WTF is going on>. Why has PEGASUS been assigned 2 ips, and when pinging using HOSTNAME why does it point to home?

Ubuntu Networking :: NetworkManager Is Not Running?

May 20, 2010

I'm using version 10.04 of Ubuntu and for some reason, when I install a copy of Ubuntu or Ubuntu Server, I get a 'NetworkManager is not running' message in the notification bar where the network icon should be.What could be causing this? This is happening as soon as I finish installing the OS and I've not changed anything at all.I've been wrestling with this for weeks, trying different commands and trying different ways of setting up the OS to begin with, scouring the internet for answers, but nothing

Ubuntu Networking :: No AP In NetworkManager With Broadcom BCM4306 (B43)?

Apr 24, 2010

I have problems with my Broadcom BCM4306 (rev 03) on my HP nx6110ng Karmic.NetworkManager does not list any AP, even if there should be some. It did work for some days without problems, but suddenly stopped working. I made a kernel update with the update manager, but I am not sure if this caused the probem (I also used the wired connection, so I don't exaclty know when wireless stopped working). Reinstalling fwcutter wasn't successful. So I tried as suggested in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...oadcom_BCM4306 and added the following lines to /etc/rc.local

modprobe -r b43 b44 ssb
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
modprobe b44

Ubuntu Networking :: Accidentally Disabled Networkmanager

May 27, 2010

Using kubuntu 10.04, I accidentally disabled networkmanager on startup for one of the users of my system. This user now has to manually start networkmanager each time after logging in. How can I make kde run networkmanager automatically again?How this happened: when I started a parallel session as an other user, while already connected via networkmanager in my own profile, kde detected this and asked something along the lines of "There's already a networkmanager running, run networkmanager automatically in the future?" Since I was a little confused, I clicked "no", and that's how things are ever since. I thought there would be some system setting that would allow me to restore this setting, but I haven't found it yet...

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Without NetworkManager Applet?

Dec 28, 2010

Is there a way of wireless networking without using the Gnome NetworkManager Applet? I want to connect to the Internet using a USB 3G modem and connect to wifi without knowing all of the details of every network.Network manager is pretty good but there seems to be no way of using it without starting an X session and it doesn't play nice with any other networking tool and reminds me too much of a Microsoft application.

Ubuntu Networking :: Any Way Could Tail Output As NetworkManager Tries To Connect

Feb 7, 2010

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 with the latest networkmanager (from ppa)I thought this could be wrong credentials setting, so i've tried a huge amount of setups (user: phonenumber, password: phonenumber, avp:telenor, seems to be the general consensus for how it should be)Is there something I'm missing or is there any way I could tail the output as NetworkManager tries to connect (hopefully seeing something like "wrong password" etc.)

Ubuntu Networking :: Using NetworkManager For BT - Cell Phone Tethering?

Mar 17, 2010

What I currently do is run this script -

Code:
rfcomm release 0
CHANNEL = `sdptool search --bdaddr=00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A dun | grep Channel | cut -c14`
rfcomm bind 0 00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A ${CHANNEL}
wvdial e71bt
And my /etc/wvdial.conf is configured for AT&T connection here in the US.

Question is, is there anyway I can integrate it with NetworkManager, instead of having to run this script?

There's a "Broadband" option on NetworkManager, but I am not able to get it to recognize my cell phone as a modem. The bluetooth applet only allows for file transfer

And therefore if i try a dhclient3 ra0 no dhcp offers received.

Rare, but if i start NetworkManager connected to azcor, and i make a dhclient3 ra0 i get an ip very fast.

I try with cnetworkmanager but is complicated and isnt working for me!

Ubuntu Networking :: NetworkManager Redirecting All Traffic Over OpenVPN?

Jan 16, 2011

I got it set up in the NetworkManager applet (imported the client.ovpn), but when I connect it sends ALL my traffic through the VPN. I would prefer all accesses to the internet go over my normal default gateway, rather then all the way through to the VPN's default gateway.When I connect through the command line:

Code:
openvpn --config client.ovpn
I don't have this problem, and accesses to the internet still go over my default gateway on

Fedora Networking :: NetworkManager Does Not Come Up In GNOME

Nov 25, 2009

I have no problems seeing the networks available and connecting to a network in KDE. But there is no network manager in GNOME. I might have messed up with the settings earlier. What I can do though is run knetwork manager every time I start up (or add it to start up programs). But that opens up the KDE wallet which would rather avoid.I am thinking I need to install something related to NetowrkManager.

Fedora Networking :: Does NetworkManager Use The Wpa_Supplicant

Feb 20, 2011

if the NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant? I normally dont use NetworkManager and decided to try it. I started it and tried it out and it works with WEP and WPA! I cant figure out why using the iwconfig command is not working by itself for WEP. WPA working with NetworkManager is just a bonus though.

Fedora Networking :: F15 Is Disabling NetworkManager

Jun 25, 2011

I'm an inordinate amount of trouble getting F15 to run without NetworkManager. If I boot with the NetworkManager service enabled, my NIC presents as expected at /dev/eth0 (I'm using biosdevname=0). However, when I stop the NetworkManager service, /dev/eth0 disappears from the filesystem.If I boot without NetworkManager enabled, /dev/eth0 is never created. Reviewing dmesg, udev is loading an ethernet driver.

Ubuntu Networking :: NetworkManager Applet Notification Graph Paper?

My networking seems to be OK but when any changes are made the NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996 (I think) in the panel pops up a small window ~ 300*80 pixels which displays some faint coloured lines and dotted lines where, presumably, there should be a message of some form. How can I configure it to get the message?

Ubuntu Networking :: Networkmanager - Set The Number Of Attempts At Connecting To A Network

May 6, 2010

set the number of retries networkmanager attempts to connect to a network to infinity?

I live in an area of Australia were wired internet dare not tread (or so say the ISPs). My only real choice is 3G wireless broadband, and even that is iffy at times. Often late at night the network towers do "something" (reset, maintenance, etc. - no idea) and the internet drops out, networkmanager tries to reconnect, fails, tries again, (etc. etc.) until it ultimately gives up, requiring human intervention when the towers are done with whatever it is they are doing. This happens frequently, and I'd like to have networkmanager keep trying "forever" until it connects so I don't have to restart the connection each morning.

Where would such a thing be set? How does networkmanager know when to give up?

Ubuntu Networking :: Openvpn Through Networkmanager Doesn't Connect On Lucid

Jul 27, 2010

i have added a vpn connection on my Lucid desktop machine, but every time i try and connect, it fails. I also have the same, identical vpn connection on my karmic install on my laptop. everything works perfectly on Karmic, but Lucid is having problems. I have followed identical steps for creating the vpn connection on both machines: vpn connections can be made in 2 ways, the first is through the network manager, but trying to connect through the nm-applet returns an error about vpn failing to connect and "no valid vpn secrets".

I suspect this is at the root of the problem. The only way for my Lucid machine to successfully connect through the command line is if I run the openvpn command under sudo.
