I just installed UNR from a usb drive on my hp mini 1030nr. I followed a guide and got the drivers installed from the drive, but they would not activate in the restricted hardware dialog. I tried to run update over wired, but I couldn't get ethernet working. ifconfig -a anly shows lo, eth0 doesn't seem to exist. how to get wifi working?
View 9 RepliesI've read about all of the problems with the HP Mini's wireless and the Broadcom drivers. Running 10.04 LTS.
Code:
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
I have 2 drivers available to me under restricted hardware:
Broadcom B43 wireless driver
Broadcom STA wireless driver
I can get the B43 to connect and work, but not for more than a minute or so at a time. I see the following in the kernel log after the wifi adapter is activated:

I recently bought an HP mini 1030NR and wanted to get fedora on it. I found this and it pretty much guided me right through the process. I thought it might be helpful for others.[URL]..
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe Wired Internet adapter isn't working with Ubuntu 10.10, and without this working, I can't get my updates for the Broadcom WLAN adapter. I have a Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-Expredd Fast Ethernet controller. I have looked for solutions, but haven't found any relating to my problem.
To be specific: Ubuntu 10.10 is recognizing the Ethernet adapter as eth0. When I try to manually connect after inserting an Ethernet cable connected to the Internet, it tries for a couple of minutes before telling me the adapter's been disconnected. The connector lights remain the same on the port as they always were.
I have an old PowerBook G4 that I would like to use as a 'dummy' computer for learning wireless penetration (WEP/WPA attacks) more effectively. I had been using a wireless router, but I gave it away I can use Mac OS X to share an ethernet connection over wifi, but this is _very_ un-configurable. You get two options only, WEP and a key-length. So, I would like to install someway to make this wireless connection more configurable.

I own a Dell Mini 10v netbook, I love the little thing, except I hate the Broadcom wireless card, I would much rather have a card that can use open source drivers. I have been searching on Google, looking on forums and looking on the hardware sites, but I cannot find a replacement card.
The problem is the tiny Dell has a tiny place to put the card and according to Dell and Broadcom, it is a "halfcard", which I have no idea what that is.
replacing the wifi card on this netbook?
I have an Asrock A330GC, with onboard ethernet, and an Engenius PCI card for wifi.I installed ubuntu server 9.10 no problems, and it picked up my ethernet in the installation with no difficulties.I couldn't get 9.10 to do what i wanted, so I tried installing 8.4 instead. This however didn't pick up any of the drivers, so i couldn't get online.So i reinstalled 9.10, only to find that no couldn't find network in the installation.Absolutely NOTHING has changed, the ethernet cable still plugged in, and if i plug same cable into my laptop, it works fine.Any ideas people?ifconfig doesn't mention any eth0, just lo, with an ip of 127.0.0.1 and amask of 255.0.0.0 which i'm fairly certain means its dead

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am basically wanting to use my Ubuntu 10.10 computer as a router. Note: Before you say just get a router please note that I am poor/cheap. I have two ethernet connections and one wireless connection on my netbook. I want to share the internet connection that is going into one of the ethernet cards through the other ethernet card and the wireless card.
DSL-->1sr Eth --> 2nd Eth (currently works)
DSL-->1sr Eth --> Wireless Card (Adhoc) <--(connects with limited connectivity AKA no internet)
The 2nd Ethernet card already has working internet, but when I connect to the Wireless card (through an Adhoc network), it cannot get an IP (I believe).
I have been trying to get my laptop to share its wireless connection to my older, wireless-less, computers through its ethernet port. So far, I have not been able to make it work. As far as I know, what I am trying to do is called network bridging. The method I have been trying so far is to run these commands as root:
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 -promisc
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 wlan0
brctl addif br0 eth0
ifconfig br0 up
Each time I do this, the system running as a bridge loses connection, and the system being bridged to never gets a connection. My hardware is:
Code:
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
Running Ubuntu 10.04. Networking won't work at all. Used to work flawlessly. Problem is not hardware, because booting windows (vista) on the same machine I can still use networking.
Little story: I Was going into a short trip, then I put my computer to sleep (as usual). Trip took longer than expected and, when I came back, the notebook battery was dead. Charged it, booted the notebook (Dell Inspiron 1525) and now its network won't work at all. After reboot it even ran a filesystem scan, but problem wasn't fixed. The icon on 'taskbar' only says "networking disabled". The ethernet lights won't even light up when I connect a ethernet cable and it won't see any wifi networks. I've tried to fiddle with that little switch which would turn the wifi on and off, but all it seems to do is turn the Bluetooth on and off, as shown by the little Bluetooth icon on 'taskbar' (I've not tested bluetooth, though). I've also tried to plug a external wifi dongle but ubuntu won't even try to install it.
what's happening or what could I do to get my network working? Is there some 'magic' I can type into a terminal window to make this work?
When I select the wifi icon on the panel, it just shows "No network devices available". I know my network can be found when I search with my iPhone, so I know there are networks to connect to. So, I checked the drivers, and it informs me that the B43 and STA drivers are not activated. So thats not a big deal, I guess, but when I use my ethernet cord, my laptop doesn't recognize/acknowledge (I'm not sure what the right term would be)it. I'm fairly sure I can't activate these drivers without an internet connection because when I do try, a message pops up saying "failed to fetch" with some long link.
My only guess is that it could be a hardware problem, but I really have no idea. I guess the ethernet problem is my only real problem. Because after I establish and internet connection the the rest is easy to fix.I'm sure its obvious, but I'll go ahead say that I'm a novice ubuntu user. I've only been working with it for about a week, but I'm learning alot.
I have a brand new ASUS EEE PC 900HA with Ubuntu 9.10 installed on it. The wireless hasn't worked yet but the ethernet is fine. I've been browsing the forums for hours to find a fix but now I've installed/queried/removed so many things I'm totally confused.

I just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my MP Mini 1000 and I have run into some troubles.First off, my wireless card doesn't seem to work out of the box. I figured that I would just plug into my router via ethernet and run updates, but then I ran into my next problem.
Nothing happens when I plug in an ethernet cord. I have a desktop running Windows 7 and a jumpdrive, so I can use those to get the files I need, but I don't really know how to fix this issue.I believe my wireless card is a Broadcom 4312, but I am unsure what ethernet card I have. If possible, I would like to just get the ethernet working and then let the restricted drivers manager take care of the rest.
I just recently installed Ubuntu on the HP Mini 1000 and the drivers for the WiFi aren't working correctly. Is there a place where I can download the Drivers for WiFi and get them to install.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA friend gave me an HP Mini 110 that I can actually use in some situations. I installed Debian 8 with LXDE. It runs well except for the expected lack of driver for the Broadcom 4312 wireless chip. I installed wl using the method shown at [URL] ....
It works fine except that it takes very long to set up WiFi at boot (1 min 30 sec or more every boot--this is a rather frail Atom processor) and the WiFi reception seems poor (65% from an excellent router at 25 feet).
I'm thinking of getting a Panda 300Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter (reportedly using the Ralink RT5372 chipset) and removing the Broadcom driver. I have 2 questions:
1. Could I expect the Panda not to slow my boot time so much? I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell whether there is stable kernel support of this device, although the manufacturer says repeatedly that it works with most Linux distributions.
2. To remove wl is Code: Select allmodprobe -r wl the correct approach?
I am brand new to linux and i am finding it really frustrating cause i always thought i had quite a knack for computers. ive looked online and searched a bunch of stuff but because im so new to linux i am having a hard time even understand some of the stuff. i really want to get comfortable/fluent with linux and unix and what not.
My netbook model is HP Compaq Mini 110 the distribution i am using is Linux Mint 10
My broadcom wifi device isnt working or something.
When i first installed mint, it said that i needed non-free drivers?
The ethernet cable instantly gave me connection and i was able to run updates but the wifi still doesnt work i think the updates only updated the free ones and not the non-free ones cause i dont remember ever specifying to download the non free ones how do i manually specify to download all available updates?
I also typed:
The output says:
Also when i right click on the little network sign on the bottom right corner, then it says "Wireless Networks device not read (firmware missing)"
I have a Toshiba Satellite L55 S5105 Laptop with "Atheros AR8152 PCI-E fast ethernet controller"
and "Realtek RT8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E "
I have ubuntu9.10 running on this[dual boot].
For some reason there is no wifi and ethernet connectivity.
Are the drivers not installed? where and how do I start to troubleshoot this problem.
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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if this is even possible. I've searched high and low and have yet to find and answer to this particular setup.
The setup:
Router is in another building.
Desktop connected by WiFi
Laptop connected by WiFi
Both the Desktop and the Laptop are in the same building together. About 5' apart.
SSH server is setup on Desktop
FreeNX client is setup on Laptop
So they can connect just fine via WiFi for remote desktop control of the Desktop from the Laptop (so SSH and FreeNX are working).Is it possible to connect the 2 pc's directly to each other by Ethernet cable AND transfer files between them by Ethernet while still being connected to the Internet by WiFi on them both?Or would the WiFi have to be disabled while using the Ethernet connection?Neither has a Gigabit Ethernet NIC so I know it would at least require a crossover cable or another router to connect the 2 by Ethernet cable.The idea behind all this is to be able to transfer files between computers quickly by Ethernet while the computers are still busy doing other things on the Internet by WiFi.
I've been searching for a couple of hours and have not found any threads that solve my situation... hope I'm not repeating something here.
Setup: Notebook with openSUSE 11.2 using KDE 4. Using Network Manager to manage network connection (although I've tried configuring this using ifup as well with no luck).
I need to be able to connect to client networks via a network cable (Ethernet) and connect to the internet via my MiFi 2200 Mobile WiFi. Both cards/connections are active with the following:
I have no problem mounting drives from the client's network. But, can not reach the internet. If I disconnect the ethernet cable, the browser will immediately connect to the internet and load web pages.
I'm assuming the ethernet connection is taking precedence over the wireless connection?
I can't imagine that there is not a way to set this up. If Windows can do it, I'm sure openSUSE can!
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Powerbook G4 1.5ghz 15", and the ethernet port on the laptop doesn't work. So I can't search for drivers to install.
Is there a way to either tether internet to the laptop using firewire? find the necessary drivers so I can transfer them?
My WiFi can connect to internet without any problem, until I plug my ethernet cable ...then I lose internet.
So the question is : how do I configure my ip/dns and stuff to still have internet when I'm plugged by cable at the same time! it was working on windows ;-)
