i have a TP-LINK TL-WN350G wireless card and i can't seem to be able to get the drivers working for it. I have used ndiswrapper and that did nothing. I was wondering if anyone can help me get wireless connection up and running. I have a ethernet connection ready just in case. And i am running Ubuntu 10.1
View 8 RepliesMy Wireless isn't popping up in the network tab. I'm running off of a ethernet cable. I tried reinstalling the drivers using Windows Wireless Drivers, it said it "detected hardware" but it didn't really enable my wireless. I'm on Ubuntu 11.04.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu for a couple of days now and I am starting to like it alot. I decided to install it on my laptop, but getting it to connect wireless is becoming a problem. I have been searching all day on how to fix this but nothing so far has helped.I had Windows 7 installed before and it connected fine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnother Ubuntu install, another round of wireless problems. I have a Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop that I used Wubi to install Ubuntu 10.4 on alongside Windows 7 Ultimate. Everything installed perfectly but it's not detecting my wireless network so I therefore have no wireless access. My wireless network icon is gray with a red "!" on it; when I click it I get:
Wired Network
disconnected
Wireless Networks
disconnected
My wireless network does not show up at all; it's not hidden. When I try to enter it manually, I do so and when I click it I immediately get a popup that says
Wireless network
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 have ubuntu 10.10, and at my house I primarily used wired, and it works fine, and under windows earlier today I was able to locate networks, so my wireless card is working. I'm currently at my girlfriends house, and trying to connect to her wireless internet. When I try to connect, I can't find any networks. I've made sure her network has sharing and discovery enabled, however in my wirelss manager it comes up as blank. There's the option to add wireless manually, but do I really need to go through the trouble of finding the routers mac address and all that, it should just show up?I could switch back to windows to see if I can connect, but I'm almost positive it's just the linux wireless manager..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI arrived in the Central African Republic only to find that my wireless (on an HP Mini 5102) wasn't working -- it didn't detect any wireless networks. So I wiped off Windows and installed Ubuntu 10.10, Luckily, it did! (Partly.) At first, I still didn't get any wireless networks. I messed around with all the various things you have to do to get Broadcom wireless drivers working. Finally, following a forum suggestion, I installed Wicd -- and this did the trick. Not knowing any better, I kept Network Manager alongside Wicd, but Wicd is what works much better. (Is there a reason to un-install Network Manager?)
However, when I try to connect wirelessly to the network at this country's one cafe with wifi (which usually works really well, by CAR standards), the network doesn't appear. At the office, when I open Wicd, it includes a box with the message "<connection name>: obtaining IP address", and bit by bit it connects. But when I open Wicd at the cafe, this doesn't happen -- it just gives me a list of random signals from nearby offices (all secured and low-signal), none of which I can connect to. Any ideas how I could get the cafe network to show up?I'm at the office now, and so it's working. However, in order to get it working I had to restart three times -- Wicd only seems to work about half or 33% of the time. Sometimes I get the message: "Connection failed: unable to get IP address" and sometimes I get the message "No wireless networks detected." Then I try again and eventually it works. So far.
I am new to ubuntu 10.10 and facing problems in my wireless connection, thought it works proprly on wired connection.I am using HP pavillion dv2000.

The problem is that no wireless networks are showing up and i cannot connect to my wireless router. Tried rebooting, but still nothing.
NetworkManager no longer shows my wireless N network. But when I boot into windows (dual boot) I can see my network and use it.

Then I was able to install the windows driver for my wireless card. But still the status is showing as disabled for the wireless adaptor. Please help to make it working.
I have a laptop that I don't use anymore so I figured I would use it for trying to get used to the command line in Linux. The lspci line for my WiFi adapter is:

I was able to get it working in a regular Ubuntu installation, but it doesn't seem to pick it up in this install. Does anyone have any tips/advice? I went with the minimal install because I wanted to see how lightweight I can get the OS.
It's a Acer Aspire 4520 Laptop running Vista Ultimate. All Drivers are working fine except Wireless. No wireless adapter is shown in Device Manager. Acer website was no help at all, has the drivers but no adapters for download. This laptop shows that it has Acer signalUp, also shows 802.11b/g WLAN on the sticker. I've downloaded Athero AR??? wireless driver, did not do anything to help the problem, downloaded the broadcom one also and it did nothing. Works fine on the LAN cable but no wireless.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWell when I first installed fedora 15 my wireless internet was working fine, and then out of the blue the option to select a wireless network wont show up.
Im sorry to be one of those people who register and there first post is a question, but since fedora 15 is new I couldnt find any information on my issue.
So basically, If I go into Network Settings I have two choices in the left hand tab. Wired, and Network proxy. Yesterday I also had wireless, Since the issue I have updated everything but still have no luck.
I am having this issue on a emachine em350 netbook, I am unable to post a link to it as I get a error since im new and not allowed to post links.
Until this morning, my Wireless had always been working fine. This morning I rebooted after an Ubuntu update and now:
- I am asked twice for "enter password for keyring 'default' to unlock" whereas before I was always just asked once.
- The connection seems to be established, with the icon showing good reception and the tooltip reads "Wireless network connection 'mywifi' active: mywifi (100%)
BUT I can not connect to any website or ping the machines of my network, even by IP address. All of the other computers around (Mac, Windows) can use the Wireless as usual. My Wireless is WPA-PSK TKIP hidden SSID. My Ubuntu is 10.10 Maverick.
I'm new to Linux and I have a problem with the Wireless connection.I've already searched for this problem but found so many threads it was impossible to sort it out.I've just installed Fedora 13 (Live CD - Install to Hard Drive) and apparently it's kinda... "empty". But my problem is with the wireless connection. There is a free network provided by my city for all the citizens. It is Open (authentication) for all. The problem is I can't "see" the network in Feodra. In Windows 7 I can "see" it just fine with 3 bars signal strength. It is great for surfing and emails. It is not intended for heavy downloading.
Why can't I "See" this network? There is another weird thing. The neighbor above me has a Wireless access point closed of course but I get 44% signal strength in Fedora and Full bars in Windows. Does it have to do anything? Maybe the low signal of the free network is the problem and Fedora makes it disappear completely?
I have been working on this problem for a while but might be narrowing the options. This is an HP laptop running Ubuntu Koala. Until last week, the wireless had been working perfectly but suddenly it lost the wireless connection (to a Bell modem/wireless router) and all local wireless networks had disappeared. These two command listings below may hold a key but I know nothing about wireless and not much about Ubuntu. What seems odd is that "lshw" shows the wireless interface as logical name "wmaster0" but the iwconfig shows a "wlan1" as the wireless. The ethernet wired interface shows as "eth1" on both commands. Could this be causing the problem. Also, I was wondering what the "ACPI handle has no context" means.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Belkin F5D8055au USB wireless adapter which I can't configure in YAST. I have downloaded the RT2870sta driver from RALink and compiled it - seemed to be ok. Modprobe loads it ok. Some info:

When I open network settings in YAST my wired (ethernet) card shows up but not the USB. If I manually add a wireless card, I can't select the kernel module from the drop down list - there is nothing in it. At that point I abort YAST. So, how do I convince YAST that there really is a USB wireless adapter connected?
I don't see any IP even though eth1 seems to be up.
Here is some info:
Why I am not seeing any IP.
I went to see if the iPhone was connected and it wasn't listed--and she was now on my wireless network, on the Internet. For the past month, I have experienced slow Internet (the Qwest people came over three times to fix the problem, to no avail.) And, when my laptop and desktop are turned off, the modem still shows activity, as if someone was downloading large files. Qwest insists that my network is secure and no one is using my network (and my house was built in 1997, so the wiring is fairly new and I have had NO issues with Internet/phone and had Qwest service longer than I can remember).
To make a long story short, I am concerned that my router has been hacked. I live in a rural area, so there's no teenagers or weird-o's around that I know of that would do that (unlike city/suburban areas)--and my Linksys router is "lying" to me, as my nephew was ON MY NETWORK and the SSID, MAC address and IP number was not listed on the LAN device list--only my laptop/desktop are listed, and she was happily checking emails on my network. I have changed my WPA2 password three times just in case, no fix.
I am running 64bit 10.04 on my Dell Latitude D620 with a BCM4328. The hardware drivers are working and I can connect to my wireless network but...The annoyance is the wireless icon in the task bar does not show a connected status. Instead I get a grayed out icon with a red exclamation point over it. I am connected though.

I have a Toshiba laptop with an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 wireless adapter. If I boot backtrack from a CD, the wireless card is found and I can run airsnort and collect packets. When I use vmaware to boot backtrack3, my wireless card is not found. My network connection is set to bridge in vmware. Does this have something to do with windows using the wireless adapter at the same time vmware is?

View 13 Replies View RelatedA friend who switched ISP's gave me his old Linksys WRT54-G wireless router. I went through the installation procedure and had a wireless connection up and running - smiley face. I had security set up for WPA, and decided to upgrade it to WPA2. Another smiley face. When I went to connect (had already done so successfully), I noticed it referred to my wireless as Linksys - I was expecting to see the SSID. So I started playing around in Network Manager and now I have things all effed up.
Don't know exactly what I did, but now I have no wireless. So I ran a few commands (lshw -C network, iwconfig, ifconfig, and iwlist scan), and looking at the results I see what appear to be inconsistencies in the output. I've posted them below, and make the following observations:
1. Under the lshw it refers to my wireless connection logical name as wmaster0, and has the correct MAC address, etc.
2. Under the iwconfig it says, 'wmaster0 no wireless extensions', but then refers to wlan0 as the wireless connection (although it does not seem to be running).
3. Under ifconfig I see both a wlan0 and a wlan0:avahi. The wlan0 has no IP, the wlan0:avahi does, but it is incorrect.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got something that's really confusing me. I'm a total noob, but I read a fair bit about Ubuntu before I overwrote my windows. To make sure it worked, I used the Live run option, and it worked fine on my system. Everything worked, it notified me, however, to use the internet I'd have to download proprietary drivers (Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Broadcom STA wireless driver). I did it and my internet started working. So everything was fine and I rebooted and actually installed the OS. Once installed, it would not get internet, nor prompt for drivers being required. So I checked my manual and tried to do it manually: System / Administration / Hardware Drivers. It searched, and said there were no proprietary drivers. I thought that this was weird, so I rebooted my system "Live" again (even though it was already installed): and the Drivers were there again! They only show up in live, I can't get internet in the installed version. What's going on? How do I get these two drivers to show up on my actual installed copy, not my lie copy?
