Ubuntu Networking :: RTL8187 WiFi Fails To Connect On 10.04?
Jul 10, 2010
My Realtek RTL8187 Wifi fail to connect using WPA security. The authentication window shows up repeatedly every time I try to connect. Please note the password is correct. I searched and haven't found a conclusive solutions as of yet.
Has anyone else experienced a failure to connect to a mobile network. I have root access wireless tether on my Droid X and I can't seem to connect to it. It times out. My buddies windows box can, and his Iphone will as well. I can see the network just fine, just no connection. Tried changing frequencies as well. And restarting both the phone and laptop.
I have only had a few weeks worth of experience with linux, so I'm probably considered a newbie at this but I felt like giving it a shot. I just configured my new Toshiba Satellite A505-S6969 to jaunty. Most of the transition is going well but I'm stuck with a few issues, one of which is getting my wifi to work. Right now I'm working off of an ethernet cable.spci returns

I am fairly new to Linux and have been striking hassles with my AWUS036H (RTL8187) under Debian Lenny. The standard (built in) driver works but reception is pathetic compared to the same card under Backtrack 4 or even Windows 7. I have tried to build drivers which I got from the Alfa website, the Realtek website and also the Linux Wireless project page. All of them fail during Make with an Error 2. I don't have the error in front of me (had to go back to Windows for the moment) but it is identical to the one this guy gets:
darkReaction:/home/georanson# cd /home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52 darkReaction:/home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52# make make -C driver make[1]: Entering directory '/home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver' Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/build, is it configured?. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/georanson/Desktop/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver' make: *** [all] Error 2
I get the error 2 code and the reference to "kernel version".
I can connect to the internet through wifi, but I cannot connect to anything on my network. I have a printer and a NAS, so I would really like for this to work again. I have a dell laptop with a Broadcom card.
in linux world and have recently downloaded and installed ubuntu desktop 10.10i cannot connect to both wired and wireless ethernet on my laptopit tries to connect but fails in 30 seconds , it says"disconnected" while i am able to connect to the same in windows i have broadcom 4315 and i have tried both fwcutter and ndiswrapper but the problem persiststhe device id is 14e4:4315
My netbook runs 10.10 and my desktop runs both 11.04 and 10.10 atm. My netbook can connect and stay on the internet, but my desktop (in either version) connects for ~ 5mins then stops working without warning. It says I'm still connected, but I can't ping anything on or off the network.
My wireless card has always worked fine with every other wifi. Just not this one.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a PackardBell notebook and have just got an Orange Livebox 2 for broadband connection(after years of dial-up as no adsl in my area).I am trying to connect via WiFi to the Livebox to configure, but neither NetworkManager nor Wicd will connect. NM sees the Livebox but simply fails to connect after trying; Wicd says "Bad password".The WPA2 password I have entered is definitely correct, and I have connected without any problem from an AcerOne under Linpus.I have also tried to connect using Wicd and an ethernet cable, and this doesn't connect either, returning "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address"
Having played around with ubuntu a fair bit I decided to breathe life into an old thinkpad with a pcmcia wireless card, by following the minimal install instructions and using lxde window manager etc.. Everything works fine apart from the fact that I cannot connect wirelessly. The card picks up and lists connections but whenever I have clicked on a connection the dail spins and then it gives up.I installed network-manager and managed to get nm-applet appearing in the sysTray otherwise I would not even have known there was wireless connections there.
I was thinking there maybe some conflict with another network manager, does this sound likely?
I'm having an issue recently with Ubuntu 10.04 x64. Connecting to my wifi is not working. I believe it is some kind of issue with the router. On Windows 7 the only way that I could connect to the net was by copying the network profile to a usb flashdrive from another computer and loading it mine. The wireless signal just keeps attempting to connect.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my EeePC 1000H. I don't use this computer often but it has always worked before... I suspect an update did this to me. I've recently swapped wireless routers but all my other machines have been able to connect to the new router. I can see the SSID and the signal strength is high but when I try to connect to it, it just attempts for a long time then asks me for my password again. I am currently connected to wired network.
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 yesterday and my wireless didn't work so I searched a little and found a way to make it work; Uninstalled bcmwl-kernel-source and installed firmware-b43-lpphy-installer and b43-fwcutter. And it worked. But today I accidentally pressed the "turn off wireless" button on my laptop. I obviously pressed it again and thought it would work but it doesn't. Now I find networks and stuff but I can't connect to them. It tries for awhile and then asks me to enter the password which I do (it is correct) and then it tries to connect for a few minutes again and then it asks me for the password again.

I'm having a problem to connect to the network at home via wifi, open or protected. Using ubuntu 11.04, attached are more details. I've managed to get a successful connection on an open network at work.
I have Ubuntu 9.10. My USB WG111v3 Wireless Card uses the rtl8187 driver. This driver is buggy. I would like to use Ndiswrapper instead. How to make it so Ubuntu doesn't load the rtl8187 driver but Ndiswrapper instead?
OK, after searching several dozen posts I still have no clear answer to a problem connecting to the internet with my Alfa AWUS036H Wireless USB adaptor. (Computer is an Aspire 5516 w/ AMD Athlon 64 processor)The device shows up in the network manager, (with great signal strength on many local AP's)and works well with Aircrack for security testing, which is why I got it in the 1st place. However my onboard Antheros wifi card just does not receive as well, thus I'd like to be able to use the Alfa for internet. Any thoughts here would be appreciated.
i am tryin to connect to internet through wifi. for this i have to connect to router first and then open the web browser to put UN and PW. I am using ubuntu. i know UN and PW. I can connect to router but my(any) web browser cannot open the authentication page.
I just installed the XBMC from the XBMC live CD. I want to configure it in a way to auto-connect to internet. (my router is wpa-password protected.)
i know how to save the password and auto connect to internet from gnome GUI but not how to do it from command line. what should i install, change or configure in order to auto connect to internet? (using command line)
I am running 10.10 on a Toshiba NB255 netbook. Wireless works find for me at home and worked last week at a hotel. At home I just use WEP, and my office network uses WPA. I can connect just fine from my work laptop but not from this netbook. The network shows up fine in the network manager and it asks for the WPA password, but doesn't establish a connection. Every once in a while it will say it is connected and has full strength but I can't ping anything, and within a minute or so it drops again. IIRC yesterday it connected via wireless and actually worked for maybe a minute before dropping at it hasn't worked since. Like I said, this has worked on other wireless networks.
Here is some output from dmesg: Code: [55086.034476] wlan0: authenticate with 00:15:62:ff:6e:89 (try 1) [55086.037598] wlan0: authenticated [55086.037658] wlan0: associate with 00:15:62:ff:6e:89 (try 1) [55086.041880] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:15:62:ff:6e:89 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=4) [55086.041891] wlan0: associated [55089.045810] wlan0: deauthenticated from 00:15:62:ff:6e:89 (Reason: 2) [55089.079974] cfg80211: All devices are disconnected, going to restore regulatory settings .....
So recently we switched Internet Providers. While we had Bellsouth, my laptop would connect to our wireless internet flawlessly everytime. However, we just switched to Charter because it was both cheaper and faster. But now, my laptop will not connect to our wireless. If I hook it up to an Ethernet cord, it connects just fine. I believe they gave us a new modem/router or whatever it is that sends out the wifi signal.
I have tried to connect with this laptop on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Backtrack 4. On Ubuntu and Linux Mint, after I enter the correct WEP key, it sits there and tried to connect for a minute or two, but then the window pops up asking for the WEP key again, even though it's still filled out.
When I tried connecting on Backtrack, it told me that it could not obtain an IP address.
I think I have unique problem. I have a d-link DWL G510 rev c.(Austrailian) WiFi card in my pc which is detected as

iwconfig shows:

Now sometimes it detects my wifi router and shows its ssid in nm-applet. but when I try to connect, it tries for 3 or 4 minutes and then fails. for most of time it even does not finds my router.
about 90 percent of the time, i cannot connect to the internet. i click on the icon and select the network, but for some reason, instead of saying, "connection established", it says, "you are now disconnected."
Wireless adapter is working OK because I can connect when network is unsecured, but when I try to connect to the secured wifi it just won't accept the password.
I can see available networks in Network Manager but can not connect. No error messages, just no connection.
Is there anything I can try to enable connection to the WEP secured router?
Just reinstalled ubuntu 10.10 x86 on an old laptop. The wireless doesn't seem to work and I have no idea how to solve this.
In gnome I can see NetworkManager display the network ESSID. I have entered the key but no success, it tries to connect and then times out after about 1-2 mins.
I have tried to change the encryption from WPA2, to WPA to WEP to nothing but the same issue.
In a terminal/shell running ifconfig/iwconfig I can see eth1 as the networkinterface.
How can I investigate this further. If there was an IRQ collission or something it would not be showing the ESSID right?
I have installed both win7 and ubuntu, and with win7 i can easily connect to wifi in my arrea. Why i cannot i connect with this? I've installed the system with wired internet, and i'm trying to connect to a unsecured wifi.
