Ubuntu Networking :: Sabrent 802.11-N USB 2.0 - Setting Up Wireless Device
May 28, 2010
I've been using Ubuntu for a while, but I have never tried to set up a wireless device with it. I have no idea where to even begin. I've done a search of the forums but wasn't able to glean much from it.
I just installed Ubontu 9.10 and I am a first time user. I am attempting to run my Sabrent usb 2.0 wireless-N ieee 802.11n device with Ubontu but I cant seem to figure it out. I can not access it as a regular usb device and I can't access the installation driver. The device loads up an installation screen when I use it on windows so I know its not the device. Not sure how to install it or to get it to run from here.
I cannot get my Sabrent USB wireless adapter to work, please help me as I am a beginner in Linux! In their readme, they have two methods:
1.) Compiling a driver from the source code, but they do not give any instructions and I am lost on how to do that.
2.) Copying the firmware files directly to the lib/firmware folders. I did that but when I ran sudo ./wlan0up and sudo .wlan0down, but everything I do results in a "Could not get interface for wlan0"
I have a problem activating the hotspot on my debian 8. The issue is that I can't activate the hotspot to give other devices wifi connection.
I have the correct driver packages from the non-free repositories (firmware-realtek) and this service (hotspot) worked fine on distros like Ubuntu, Mint and Fedora .
I tried hostapd but it didn't work. I'm using cinnamon desktop.
I bought this wireless card because alot of people said it worked out of the box and it almost worked... Ubuntu recognizes it and the wireless module is activated I just can't seem to scan for networks or connect to them... So I am listing some outputs for you guys and hopefully there is an easy fix.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and bluetooth turn/off is not possible. However, with 2.6.37 kernel it is possible. Now i have gathered whole info about the device(mac adress, usb port etc) from 2.6.37 and what i need is to somehow use those info in kernel 2.6.38 so that bluetooth works.
lsusb in 2.6.37 (while bt is on)

How to set up an Asus USB N-13 wireless adapter (when i plug it NOTHING happens (the light on the device doesn't even blink)). I was trying to use this (click me), but i got confused mid way through. I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
I was trying to set up my computer as a wireless AP/router. I am using a D-Link wireless dongle for the wireless network. I have ensured it can be put in the master mode. I followed the instructions on [url] and steps seemed to have been completed without a problem.
However, the wireless signal is not being broadcasted. I cannot see it on my phone or my laptop. The only difference I see is that my Ubuntu installation is the desktop version instead of the server edition. However, I don't think that should be the issue!
The ip addr command produces

I suspect this down state to be an issue but the command ip link set wlan1 up is not doing anything
I'm running Linux 11.04 and my wireless network was working just fine until today. I cannot connect to WiFi - it acts as if the device wasn't there. The hardware switch led isn't working. No matter how much clicking on it, it won't work.
iwconfig:

I just got a new printer (photosmart premium) and I have tried to set it up in the printing config but the listed printers do not include mine..do I have any other options?
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and am very excited about using it for the first time. I am very new to computers and stuff though so I don't have much of a clue as to what I'm doing. Although it installed fine, for my wireless connection it says "device not ready". What does this mean and how do I connect to the internet?
I have spent the last 24 hours trying to work a wireless bridge (a D-Link DAP-1522) into my network configuration. It would connect to our gateway here at home (some 2WIRE piece of garbage AT&T hands out, but I digress), and two computers (an Ubuntu Desktop and an Ubuntu Server) would connect via the bridge.
The bridge SEEMS to connect to the router, and indeed, the Ubuntu Desktop PC is able to access the internet. The server, however, is not, and neither computer can communicate with the other (ping, SSH, etc.) furthermore, the router recognizes the presence of these two computers on some level, but does not seem to know their IP addresses (I assume this is related to the computers' inability to communicate).
Before I get too far into this, here are a few links/items for the sake of clarity. The first is a shoddy diagram of my (proposed) network topology, for all of you out there who, like myself, understand things visually:[url]
This is the output from running "ifconfig eth0" on the Ubuntu Desktop PC, which sits behind the bridge. The PC is connected, and can ping hosts across the Internet, but can only ping the router locally (that is, it can't ping any other device in the house, on either side of the bridge):
Code:
The router uses wireless encryption, not MAC addresses, to restrict access/traffic, and all wireless devices (including the bridge) have been provided with the proper credentials. There shouldn't be any devices being denied access on account of their MAC address. In fact, the router's control panel lists the PC and the Server among the recognized devices (even lists their MAC addresses), but provides no IP address and always considers the two computers to be "offline." And yet, I am writing this very post from the Ubuntu PC. Sigh.
I am very comfortable with computers, and reasonably comfortable with Ubuntu/Linux and the Linux command line -- I've been using the operating system for just over a year now -- but networking issues have always been perched right on the edge of my understanding. In short, it's likely this issue has more to do with me than it does with the hardware itself (although the more forums I browse, the more I start to doubt this bridge...).
I installed 10.10, I'm using a HP tower with a cisco usb ae1000 modem. I have been on Linux all of 12 hours. I had installed on a old laptop, and hard wired to the router. I really liked the OS. And Long short I killed the laptop, literally.
So I partitioned the family tower, but I cannot connect wirelessly. And to run hard wire to the router would mean a complete tear down of my desk and set up in the living room area, and that will not help out the marriage long/short term.
on the internet connection and I gone through the panels trying to set up the connection but no luck. I'm running Vista and Ubuntu 10.10. I using vista to post here now.
How do I get it to find the wireless router and set up my connection without being hardwire to the router itself.
I have a Sonicwall access point, which I am able to set up through the interface, but after that I am unable to achieve a connection through my wireless card. I have a good understanding of everything involved, but really have no hands on experience when it comes to networking.
Also, I should have mentioned that @ the interface for the Sonicwall it said that "no DNS server had been specified", but I set it up for DHCP, and I thought my ISP is using PPPoE (which I also thought used DHCP).
I have a Toshiba Satellite L655-S5061 laptop and dual-boot Windows 7 and Kubuntu Lucid Lynx. Windows detects and connects to the wireless network just fine, but in Kubuntu it will detect the network but can't connect to it. Sometimes Network Manager will say it's connected, but Konqueror can't load any websites. Plugging in an ethernet cable doesn't give me access to the internet, either.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 . Need to get my wireless router working on my HP laptop. Have been using a Linksys WRT54G Router with windows and it is working properly. Tried setting up in NetworkManager but it does not work.
When looking at things in the Ubuntu terminal it says the network is DISABLED.
I'm trying to set up a wireless access point and router using Ubuntu 10.10. My machine has an Atheros AR5001X+ PCI card, and eth0 is connected to an ADSL modem.After literally days and days of going in circles, I'm hoping that somebody here can help get me on track.This sort of works, though I had to go through some other contortions to get the madwifi driver to finally compile on my machine.At this point, I can see and connect to the WAP, but nothing more. When I try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart",
I also have a second problem, which is that I want to use WebMin to manage this server, but I cannot figure out how to get the ADSL client module configured -- RP-PPPoE version 3. It seems to expect to work with pppoe-start, pppoe-stop, and pppoe-status, but when I try to run pppoe-status it says "Link is down", even though my ppp connection is actually working.Is is possible to use the WebMin ADSL client module with Ubuntu? I spent a lot of time trying to get pppoe-start, stop, etc. working but it was a complete mess and never seemed to behave. Finally, I just put the ppp startup commands into the /etc/network/interfaces file and that worked, but now the pppoe-* commands no longer seem to function.
I am new to linux and just set up my wired network, still a few kinks that needs to be sorted out. When setting up a wireless connection, what is needed for a basic p2p network. Wireless connection from one laptop to another to enable sharing? What I have done was set up a wireless network on my windows machine, connect to it using ubuntu. (this is all done with the built in wireless adapters, no routers). The connection is made, both the windows and ubuntu machines say connected, but none of the computers show up in the networks directory?
I am trying to set up the wireless with the latest version of Ubuntu. I can connect to the internet with the ethernet but wireless connections do not even show up. My wireless card is a Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN and perhaps that is the problem. I am not sure if that will work. I am also using VMware and perhaps it just doesn't work with VMware.
When I type in iwlist scan it just comes up with: lo interface does not support scanning and eth0 interface does not support scanning. When I search for available drivers it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system. Then it has VMware virtual ethernet driver and VMware virtual machine communication interface.
I have freshly installed ubuntu 9.10 and moreover i am completely a newbie to Linux. The problem now i am facing is, i am not able to configure my wireless router. I tried finding drivers for it in System->administration->hardware drivers. But it showed me none. Then i checked out one of the threads in this forum and came across the 'lspci -nn' cmd. This gave me the info abt my wireless network controller and it was : 'Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)'.
I've tried to install Linux systems have been failures. Trying to make this work, trying to get on the right wagon, and it's frustrating as all get-out.
Installed netbook remix onto a HP Mini 1000 (1116NR?) and everything seems to be working alright, except no wireless networking. I tried a couple of things and now it shows "device not ready" instead of "disabled", so I figure I'm getting somewhere.
The device is:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
I want in. This is my 3rd try over the years of running Linux and I always hit snags like this that I can't fix because I've never gotten to play with it enough to learn what I'm doing and generally don't have a 2nd computer like I do right now.
My computer is Dell Inspiron N4020.And after I installed the Ubuntu 10.04 successfully,a problem occured:No wireless device appear nor the wireless signal
It's been ages since I've been on here I've been messing around with BackTrack. I've come back to Ubuntu but seem to be having some problems getting my wireless network thingy working. Here are the specs of my system. Any advice on fixing this would be very very apprciated.
On another note I'm trying to run debain I've got no startx on there or anything like that it's feeling very basic atm. I want to keep startx outta there but I can't connect to the Internet and run apt-get install to grab handy things.
I'm hoping whatever I am gonna do to solve this on Ubuntu will let me connect up to my wireless network with the internal network thingy. However if it doesn't I'm guessin I can just connect up physically to the router. Any tips on doing this from the command line?
Security Type: WPA2-Enterprise Encryption Type: AES Network Authentication mode: Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP) - Unvalidated Server Certificate User must authenticate log-on. Its a wireless network. how to set this up for Ubuntu.
I have a Linksys WAG54G2 Router - this is set up and was working fine with Xp and my Apple I phone.I have just changed over from XP to Ubuntu, and am having difficulty in configuring wireless settings to accept UBUNTU.The hard wired Ethernet connection works fine.
I'm living at a friend's right now, and he's got a wireless access point in the house that I set my laptops wlan0 interface to route through the eth0 to my desktop. It's been working fine for internet sharing and internal networking ( ssh and ftp ) between the laptop and the desktop, but there's a problem with both subnets being able to communicate with each other, and I haven't been able to solve it with DNAT either.
The wireless access point is 192.168.0.1 and has its own lan on 192.168.0.0/24 of which my laptop is 192.168.0.5. I setup the little subnet I created by routing with the laptop to 192.168.1.0/24 and my desktop is 192.168.1.50. With shorewall I can configure iptables to DNAT all of my ssh traffic destined to 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.1.50, but the problem seems to occur when ssh on my desktop fails to connect rather than the DNAT failing.
Using iptraf I've seen that all of the routing does work properly, because I can see on the connection in iptraf that only the SYN packet is being sent from a 192.168.0.x address, there is no ACK packet sent back. I believe this is because in the connection dialog it always shows a 192.168.0.x ip as the source of the connection, but I don't have a route to 192.168.0.0/24 from 192.168.1.0/24 setup and I'm unsure of how to do so.
I'm pretty much in over my head because I don't know what is wrong, I thought it should work like this. Everything else from port configurations, to the configurations of the software itself seems fine so I don't think it's anything like that preventing a connection, but I can't think of what it would be aside from the lack of routing between each subnet.
Is there anyway to just add a route so that 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.0.0/24 can communicate with each other directly? I know there should be, I'm just not at all sure how it would be done.
I'm trying to follow the instructions here to get my dell wireless NIC working in CentOS. I've got to step 3 but when I run the make command.But it does exist, as a link pointing to ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.el5-i686.
I just recently installed ubuntu, my first experience with linux. I don't know if it isn't recognizing my wireless card or if it is another issue, but I am unable to view any wireless networks/connect to any. When I click on the network icon it says "wireless" with Device Not Ready underneath.
I am running UNR on an Asus T91MT and everything was working great until an update yesterday, my OS froze while updating and I had to do a hard reboot. Since, I have not been able to get wireless, and lshw does not even recognize the presence of a wireless device on the system.
