I would like to stop network manager from starting up on boot. I have tried moving
Code:
/etc/init.d/network-manager stop
to rc.local and it did nothing but boot me into the CLI
I have also tried to put
Code:
sudo service network-manager stop and that did nothing also.
After I get network manager to stop on boot up. How do I make it so it will not auto connect to networks? My computer keeps on joining a different network on boot up. And I don't like this as some times I go to my banks website and I am on there network with out realizing it (because of the auto connect) Is there a way to stop this also?
I currently got Ubuntu 10.0.4 server edition running on my server. I got 2 network cards in it. One for (eth0) the pppoe connection and the other one (eth1) for dhcp and network.
When i installed dhcpd3 server a couple of days ago, it wouldn't start. So i searched the web and came on the conclusion that i have to do " sudo ifconfig eth1 down sudo ifconfig eth1 up 192.168.0.1"
Problem is i don't have connection with this pc all the time. So if i have to restart it, the dhcp server won't start.
I installed 8.04.3 Ubuntu into a used laptop for a friend, it was an ex business model HP I think, it installed well and wireless was no problem, if the ethernet cable was not plugged in, I could see the wireless signal indicator, it seemed to be there automatically and I could see the available networks displayed.The user has now apparently been using it a lot on ethernet cable for a month or two and wants to begin occasionally to use wireless. She says her daughter gets wireless ok in the house on visits, so I guess that the wifi is always on and available from the (BT, UK) home hub device in the house.
The user is reasonably adventurous, and it is possible that her exploration into a new machine and a new (to her) Ubuntu from previous windows use, she may have inadvertently clicked something and turned off wifi?The user is reporting that without the ethernet cable plugged in, there is no sign of wireless being recognisedA right click on the top panel network icon shows that there is 'no network available' (X sign) and a menu item exists for 'Edit Wireless networks'I have little or no experience about wifi use, so I would be grateful for comments on how I can guide the user to elegantly make use of either wifi or cabled connection
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine, except wireless. Wireless works fine for a while (I am right now using it) but then it loses all networks and I have to shutdown and then start Ubuntu again to get wireless network again.
I have MSI laptop with Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
I was wondering... if I can "/etc/rc.d/init.d/NetworkManager stop" then, /sbin/service network restart, ifup wlan0. with out using /etc/rc.d/init.d/NetworkManager which other command I can use to get the AP around my place?
View 5 Replies View RelatedXubuntu 9.10 on a DELL Inspiron 1150.I have a problem with intermittent dropping of my wireless connection ( see Belkin 7010 thread).Once dropped, the wireless will NOT reconnect (It just sits there saying "connecting" but never does) Same happens if I manually disconnect - I can never re-connect. On rebooting it will reconnect fine & all is well for sometimes 4 hrs.How can I kill all wireless services & restart them without having to reboot the laptop?

View 2 Replies View Relatedyesterday I let the update manager install a whole bunch of updates for my 10.04 install on my MSI Notebook ER710. My wireless was just working peachy until then (with the madwifi drivers), but after the update, no more... I checked the madwifi, tried a new make, but nothing worked.
So, after reading somewhere that 10.10 had less issues with wireless I decided to upgrade to 10.10 in the hope that that would solve my problem.
Well, partly it did, as in, according to my system I've got a wireless again and this morning even, it was able to see wireless networks! Unfortunately I couldn't connect to mine, although the key was correct. At some point I lost the ability to see wireless networks again. I tried wicd too, but no luck their either. It recognizes my card but can't see any networks.
here is all the info:

I have a SSH box which is command line only and no X, this will be used remote and i'm trying to get the wireless network configured to start at boot. I'm using wpa_supplicant as the access point is secure with WPA2 At present if I send the following commands the machine will connect to the wifi and be reachable via ssh
ifup wlan0
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wext -dd -i wlan0 -B
dhclient wlan0
This does not start at boot but requires manual input of the above commands. I've just come to a complete blank on geting this to start at boot time. Also I would like to set a fixed IP for this box.
I have 2 network adapter, 1 wireless and 1 wired. Both are connected to different network. Whenever I plugin the cable, wireless stop working. I need to get both working simultaneously. Do I need to do any settings to make both work?

What is the proper way to stop tftpd from starting up? There is no numbered rc script symlink for it so I can't use update-rc.d. I don't want to just hack a file unless that is considered "the way".
View 4 Replies View RelatedI buy a new usb network adapter (Through DX), when I try to use it in ubuntu or BackTrack4 Final it is working, and connecting networks even with WPA encryption. But after few minuts it stops working totally. It is showing that I'm connected to the AP but web sites do not respond.
Notes:
- I have another PCI Wireless adapter which works fine.
- The problematic adapter works great on windows.
- A driver CD came with it, including a linux driver which I wasn't succesfully installed.
- A BackTrack3 Disc came with it, claming by the instructions that the adapter will work with it. I didn't try it because i have backtrack 4 final.
It took me dozens of surfing the web hours, and too many restarts,

I have a Thinkpad x61 with intel wireless chipset. At startup, wireless is always disabled, and bluetooth is always enabled. Function+F5 has no effect. Can you tell me how to enable automatic wireless connection at startup?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been having some problems with my wireless connection. I am having to start my computer 2 times in order for my wireless connection to work. The first time I start up, even after I enable wireless it wont connect. If I reboot immediately and enable wireless it will then connect. I would like to be able to fix this problem since it has become really annoying to me to have to boot my computer 2 times every time I turn it on. BTW Network manager shows auto-connect, however it also shows i month ago as to the last time the connections were used.
View 2 Replies View Relatedevery time i log in to ubuntu, i run this line to get the drivers working or something (not sure what it does, it just works):

I am running 9.10 on my compaq laptop. I tried linux a couple years ago and was not impressed with it's operation on this machine (wifi didn't work, pain in the butt to make it work) but I just installed 9.10 and to my surprise, everything on this machine seems to work now automatically!
One minor annoyance though, when I boot my machine and the gnome desktop loads, it takes about 1 minute until the wireless finds and connects to my router. Granted, my SSID is set to not broadcast but I set ubuntu to find it as a hidden network and it does in fact work, just takes more time than usual to find and connect. Normally with windows, when it loaded, my wifi was present and connected immediately.
On my Lenovo IdeaPad S12, the "Enable wireless" checkbox is always unchecked after startup. After I check it, it automatically connects to the preferred wireless network. Is there a way to ensure that wireless is always enabled after startup? On my other PCs, "enable wireless" remains set properly after startup. It's only on my Lenovo that I have noticed this problem. I have poked through the various network tools to see if there's a preference setting for this, and have not found one.
