Ubuntu Networking :: Unclaimed When Working Driver Installed?
Jun 7, 2010
I'm using a Dell with Broadcom bcmwl6.inf driver. I tried the guides using ndiswrapper, but they didn't work for me. What worked was simply going to System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers and activating the Broadcom STA proprietary driver. That sounds great, but every time I restart, I have to remove and install the driver from Hardware Drivers.
What should I do to keep the driver loaded and claimed at the start. This is my lshw -C network before and after removing and installing wireless card driver.

Before I start off, I must say that I know NOTHING about Ubuntu. I only know how to run .deb files. So I installed my wireless driver via the graphical ndiswrapper (FYI my wireless adapter is a Proxim 8424-WD). It then said "Unable to see if hardware is present". After I exited out of that message, it said "Hardware:Present" (or something of that sort) next to the newly installed driver. I tried searching for wireless networks and found none. I'm guessing something didn't work right. I used this command "lshw -C network" and got the following result.

I have HP Pavilion dv2860ee laptop with an intel wireless adapter ipw3945 on it. I recently installed ubuntue 10.10 on the laptop but ubuntu does not recognize my wireless adapter. I'm some how new to ubuntu but I almost tried everything that I could find from google to install drivers but they didn't work and wireless adapter is still unclaimed.

Since the last driver error I had posted the thread was starting to drift WELL off the original issue so now I am opening a new thread since it IS a whole different problem in general;So, I was having issues with my driver not being enabled. After I installed it manually it appeared to be correct how-ever when I ttried to enable special effects, and compiz, it didn't work.And even after a correct installation of the driver some windows when they pop up look like static then appear.Graphics card is an:nVidia 6150SE onboard card.I know it can handle compiz, and effects, because it did before on the other version of ubuntu I had.

I've got a Broadcom 4311 card and since upgrading I can't connect to wireless. I went through the solutions in the sticky and I still can't connect, when I type lshw -C network I get:Quote:

I have a Netgear WNA-1000 that I can't get recognized on any of my Ubuntu boxes (8.10, 9.04, 9.10). This page says that it should work with the ar9170usb driver, and that this driver is already part of the mainline Linux kernel as of 2.6.30. It also noted that ar9170usb does not claim this device's USB-ID at this time.
How do I (a) get this driver to recognize and work with my WNA-1000 under 9.10?
(b) get this driver installed and working under the older versions of Ubuntu that I also have?

Even though having already spent many hours trying to connect to the internet from Ubuntu, I still haven't done it succesfully. What I've done so far:
Code:
nuno@Houdini:~$ ndiswrapper -l
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.

device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: ssb)
On the bar at the top, under 'Wireless Networks' it reads: "disconnected".

I am very new to Ubuntu and if I could get internet I'm sure I would love it as it appears very speedy! I don't want to resort to reloading Windows just because of this!I've managed to install the RT2870.inf driver for my Belkin wireless adaptor but couldn't install the sys file. Hence my adaptor still won't work - well I think this is why but hoping someone can enlighten me step by step.

I've read a lot about wireless network cards but I haven't found something similiar to my problem. I've a belkin wireless card F5D7000tt and its driver bcmwl5.inf. I think I've correctly installed it because when I use "ndiswrapper -l" i get:
WARNING: all config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future realease.
bcmlw5.inf: driver installed
device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver : ssb)
But when I go to Hardware Drivers I see that "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" is not enabled, and when a try to enable it I get an error message:"We are sorry, but the installation of this driver failed. Check the register archive to see more details: /var/log/jockey.log"

I have no internet available, but the driver seems to be installed (kernel driver r8169). I'll follow the steps for posting on the wireless forum this time:
1) I'm using a desktop. Intel Core i7-870 2.93Ghz 8md Quad Core. Motherboard is an ASRock H55M-LE LGA1156. 4GB RAM DDR3.
2) The wireless card is:

i found this quote: WPA/WPA2 are broken in every module everybody has tried (AFAIK) since Adam's 1.7.1.1 DKMS driver. Downgrade like so: 1) Get the driver from [URL]... 2) Go to terminal, and move the pre-installed driver so it won't get loaded. cd /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/ sudo mv rt2860sta.ko rt2860sta.bak. 3) Install rt2860-dkms_1.7.1.1_all.deb. It will also install dependencies needed to compile the driver. If it doesn't retrieve the right packages, make sure "build-essential", "linux-header-generic" and "dkms" is installed. Let it run and it should complete without a problem. 4) Restart. The new driver should work automatically. the deb file gives me an error.

I have just installed 10.04 on a dell inspiron laptop, but the wireless adapter will not work. I uses a broadcom BCM4312. When I click on the wireless icon, it says "firmware missing". Normally, I would connect to look for proprietary drivers, but my problem is that I live in an apartment complex with only wifi.
So my question is, A) does this sound like a driver problem, and B) if so, how can I get the necessary driver installed (after downloading it with another laptop) when I use lshw, it does show the wireless device, by says that it is disabled. I tried following the directions here [URL]... (changing "ieee80211_crypt_tkip" with "lib80211_crypt_tkip" due to the rename in 2.6.29. I think that is correct), but that did not work either.

I've searched on-line and through these forums and I am still not able to find a solution to my problem. To start off, I do not know if my wireless card is turned on or off. I press Fn+f8 key and the LED turns on but Ubuntu does not detect the wireless networks. I am able to connect using the Ethernet port.
ps: I have already updated the Ubuntu software using the commands:
Quote:sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
My Product:Quote:RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
Ra-link makes a Linux driver for this card but from what I understand I should not install the driver unless I absolutely have to (do to the fact that it does not automatically update through the operating system) here is the link to the driver (btw, I do not know how to install driver on Ubuntu,

Installed 9.10 side-by-side with Vista, then installed the Broadcom STA wireless driver, rebooted to activate it no luck, no connection, neither wireless nor wired. Did this several times. Getting online in Vista works fine.
Here's the system I'm using:
HP tx2500z laptop
Vista Home Premium SP1
AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile processor RM
ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card
Broadcom 4322AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n WiFi adapter

I used to have a PCi wireless card but decided to upgrade to a 802.11n device. I run the lshw -C network command and no output is shown for the usb dongle. I have installed ndiswrapper and it states the driver is installed, but a popup always appears stating that Ubuntu cannot recognise if the hardware is present, but once this is closed the remaining window shows the dongle is present. So Ubuntu (9.10 btw) can recognise the card is present in the windows driver window, but not in lshw -c network. Any ideas?
There are a number of posts about older Sweex products with different chipsets, but none seem to answer my query. NB my chipset is Ralink RT3070

I recently had my AE 1000 linksys wireless adapter driver installed, the info for which can be found here:
[URL]
But today I was presented with 142 automatic updates already downloaded waiting to be installed on my computer. I installed the updates and restarted my computer for the updates to take effect. Well, since then my wireless adapter no longer registers at all, it doesn't even recognize my router let alone connect to it. It is as inoperable as the day I got it.
I am currently using a different computer in the house to get internet. Should I go about following the same directions I did before and reinstall the driver, or is there a more simple way?

I installed newest Ubuntu system, 11.04, Natty-Narwhal, and PC is running smoothly. It is solid machine, Celeron 430, 1 gb of DDR2 memory and I have both LAN card and graphics integrated on the mobo which is MSI 7529, based on G31/P35/P31 chipset.
I plugged lan cable directly from my PC to the ADSL router. There is another Win Xp machine on the same router and it has connection, and internet is working fine. Right now Im writing from the Win 7 laptop, which is connected to the same router via wifi link... all working like a charm...
But, when I plug the Ubuntu desk I cannot get access to bot lan and internet...
I searched the net and it seems that ubuntu didnt install proper driver during the OS installation. Here are some diagnostics of the current config and state:
Code:
Module Size Used by
binfmt_misc 13213 1
snd_hda_codec_realtek 255820 1
code....
As you can see I need to install driver named r8101 instead this one r8169 and I think it will work that way. I found driver here only problem is dont know how to replace them.

I've bought an RALINK getnet Wireless USB adapter and am trying to get it to work on a dual boot pc running XP and 9.10. According to the forums and the manufacturers website (www.getnet.com.tw), this should be supported in Linux.
Using the disk that came with it, I have gotten it to work in Windows. I've spent nearly a day scouring the Ubuntu forums and trying different things, but still haven't got it working in 9.10. (I think that most of my confusion is that many of the threads are for earlier versions)
If I type "iwconfig", I get this:
Code:
graeme@graeme-desktop:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
[Code].....
I have the CD that has a LINUX directory, but am not sure what to do with it. Through other threads I have determined that my drivers are rt2870.sys and .inf and have downloaded these. I'm not really sure what to do with them next..... Many threads talk about going System>Administration>Networking, but I don't have this as an option. I have however got an option which I downloaded called "Windows Wireless Drivers" which seemed to let me load the rt2870.inf driver, but then says "No" after it (not very helpful).
I have enabled Wireless Networking, and added my SSID etc etc, but I still don't connect.

I just deleted my windows XP and installed Ubuntu 9.10 earlier this morning. I used wired connection to get drivers for my wireless network card.
When I did lspci, the very last line states:
Network Controller: Broadcom Coporation BCM4311 902.11b/g WLAN(rev 01)
I used the System -> Administration -> Hardware Driver and found 2 drivers. I have tried them both to connect to my D-Link Router. Neither of which worked.
For Broadcom B43 Driver, the wireless is able to detect wireless networks. However, it fails to establish connection.
For Broadcom STA Driver, the wireless cannot even detect wireless networks available.
What is the issue here and how do I resolve it so that I am able to connect onto the internet wirelessly?

I've got a friend who, after experiencing the horrors of Vista and me telling of the wonders of Linux, decided to switch. However, her Wifi is not working. I typed in 'lspci -nn', and it seems that two things came up; a Broadcom BCM4401 and an Atheros AR2413. Does the computer have two Wifi cards? Which do I need the driver for, or both? Which brings me to my second question; where do I find and how do I install a driver?

when I updated from 10.04 to 10.10 beta, I lost my wireless on my Gateway MX3410 laptop. In 10.04, the wireless Realtek RTL8185 card was auto-detected, worked with the default driver.
So I installed the linux driver version of Realtek RTL8185. Although the driver shows up in the "Additional Drivers" panel under "Administration", the computer is not recognising the driver.
Below is all the specs of the current situation.

OS: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)

I was trying to get the b43 driver work with my broadcom bcm4322 wireless card. I changed the kernel from 2.6.32 to 2.6.38 in order to make the b43 driver to work. When I booted with the new kernel the internet stopped working so I looked for a solution. I don't remember which website I went but it said that I have to re-install the STA drivers so I did that and rebooted and nothing happened. I decided to go back to the 2.6.32 kernel and re-installed the STA drivers. The wireless card (eth1) isn't showing when I run the command iwconfig
Code:
xavi@xavi-laptop:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
easytether0 no wireless extensions.
xavi@xavi-laptop:~$
I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

When I freshly installed my Ubuntu 10.04, broadcom wireless worked after I installed the driver using hardware manager. But somehow it got de-activated, and not its not working. I need help related to that. Here is some output which might help you to understand the problem.

I applied the latest updates today and when I rebooted, My wireless broadcom driver is not working and the ifconfig does not list it either anymore, was working 8 min ago but is now dead. If I turn off the wireless with a switch and back on, I get a blue light but it remains disabled and greyed out on the network icon. Ubuntu 10.04, latest updates applied daily. I removed the driver and reinstalled it, it did not help at all. Also, my Truecryt gdecrypt stopped working.
Update: it seems the wireless switch on the front of the laptop is now working backwards, in checking the daemon log I found Turning off the wifi so the light goes out:
Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> WiFi now enabled by radio killswitch
Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): bringing up device.
Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: starting -> ready
[code]...
Update, I found that if I boot the laptop up with the networking switch off, then, after I'm booted up, turn it on, it works. However if I reboot the laptop with the network switch in the on position I get the above issue with the switch being inverted and not working properly.

I'm trying to create a flash drive that I can use on my laptop to boot into ubuntu. I followed the instructions on the download page to create le usb drive and was successful.My problem is that whenever i install my nvidia drivers, my internet completely stops working. Both wired and wireless work fine on a fresh install. I can reboot and try again and they both still work. While installing the nvidia drivers however they both stop working, and upon a reboot they still aren't working. I can connect via my desktop and my phone to the same access point i'm trying to go through on my laptop, so the problem is isolated to my laptop.
