Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Adaprer Does Not Recognise Home Network?
Feb 10, 2011
At home I use ADSL and my machine has no problem to connect to wired network. But I still can not set up my wireless network. Network Manager scans for other networks in range and find few but my own network is not listed. My other machine (Windows 7 OS) does not have that problem. What could be the problem? Is it the encryption of the network? I've tried with Wicd also - no progress. Did anyone else have the same problem?

my wireless home network is not recognized by my network card (RealTek RTL8190 mini PCI). The post was as follows: "I am using a new computer with Windows 7 , Athlon quad core 2.60 64 bit, 8GB RAM. Internet conection works fine with ethernet but ubuntu does not see my wireless network. card (RealTek RTL 8190 ID: 10ec:8190). Have searched this forum but unable to come up with a fix. I was looking for windows XP drivers to use Ndiswrapper but could not find a list of .inf files. My network is OK and works perfectly in windows and with my 2 laptops. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Additional info: install was done within Windows using WUBI to a separate partition on my HDD. I am new to this and thouroughly confused as to the procedure for installing the drivers if they are in fact available."
I am very frustrated in that I would like to use Ubuntu 10.04 but it is useless without internet connectability. I am new to linux and do not understand where to get the appropriate drivers or how to install them. I wish someone would answer this post and either give me a clue what to do or just say "give up" and uninstall ubunutu.

Ubuntu 9.10 working great. Installed Orange 515m as per fix shared on this and other forums; however while it works great at home, it will only 'connect' once at work - on subsequent attempts it connects, but browser etc behave as though they cannot find the modem and I cannot make further connections via gmail and Firefox. I had just made the swap from Win 7 to Ubuntu 9.10 for work as well as home, but I cannot be in the position of being unable to access my emails and so swapped my hard drive back to Win 7 drive today

So I finally successfully installed Ubuntu 10.10, but I can't access my home wireless network. I dual booted with Windows 7, and it detects my local wireless network, asks for the key and connects correctly. In Ubuntu, I have to plug in an ethernet cable to access the internet (like I am now). Ubuntu doesn't detect the network, and I tried "Create New Wireless Network..." up the top right, but it doesn't connect.

I have had this configuration at home for years, but I just changed my line provider and I cannot get it to work.
I have a desktop machine with two ethernet interfaces, eth0 and eth1. Etho is connected to the cable modem and that seems to be working fine - well, I'm posting here, right? Eth1 is connected to a Linksys WAP54G wireless access point. I have eth1 set to 192.168.1.240 and the AP set to 192.168.1.245 (the default). The desktop runs CentOS and I have dhcpd running, and I have focused on the dhcpd.conf file, which I have changed many times. Here is the latest incarnation:
Code:
#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample

Little help needed. just installed ubuntu but it doesn't recognise my wireless card. I'm running an emachines g720. Ive tried looking through some previous posts but the terminal thing frightens me to death really.
I've tried looking through the idiots guide but i'm afraid i'm a better idiot than that! Some nice simple paint by numbers instructions would help me alot if at all possible.

While my wireless is generally working, there's one problem: I can't connect to my home network through it on my laptop. My desktop (which has an Atheros-based wireless card and is configured through ifup) connects just fine, as does another family member's laptop (also with an Atheros chip, but using NetworkManager) My laptop (With an Intel Centrino wireless chip), however, will not connect to the home router, though it can connect to public (unprotected) access points such as the one at my school. My home network is a private (hidden) network and also requires a WEP key to connect to and, as mentioned, works fine with several other systems running 11.3. I've attempted to use both ifup and NetworkManager and can't connect using either method. With ifup, the connection attempt just seems to time out during the connection attempt, while with NetworkManager, it doesn't even seem to try: I select the connection that I defined and click "Connect" and nothing happens after that. I'm using KDE and installed from the LiveCD

Currently my office use a Cisco Firewall which will only allow the ANYCONNECT utility to do the vpn connection. I found a Linux utility (OpenConnect) which will do the same thing, but allow me more flexibility with my networking needs.What I ultimately would like to have is to have a switch that I can connect any network device into it and be connected to the office. IE (my IP Work Phone and Computer) Currently I have is a computer with fedora 13 and two network cards eth0 (home network - connected to a router) and eth1 which I would like to connect a switch to. OpenConnect communicates fine and I can see the work network from the Fedora machine. It creates a vpn0 tun/tap device and I don't know how to pass communication to/from the eth1 device.
Do I try to iptables the ports for the phone and services I need on the computer? Or do I build bridge; and If I do what am I bridging. I have tried making a bridge from eth1 to vpn0 which reply's with unsupported device or something like that.Unfortunately my network skills are bit limited and my office says "it can't be done". Their solution is for me to buy a ASA5505 (or something device) and have a static IP. I would have to make it work as my router and even then it will only DHCP 10 ip addresses; which will cause a shortage of IP addresses in the house.

I am running openSUSE 11.2 and just recently my network has been down. I'm using Gnome, but using Yast to configure my network (I'm usually forced to use wireless as I travel a lot on my laptop). Usually, when I'm connected to a wireless network, it will show up as so in the Gnome start menu, but recently, it will only say Wired there, even though I have nothing connected to my ethernet jack. I can connect wirelessly to a home router, but cannot use the wireless in any other way. I have tried manually disabling the ethernet connection to no avail. Unfortunately I am limited in my linux knowledge, so I am kinda stuck here.

I've just installed openSUSE 11.3 for the first time on a Dell E1505 notebook and am having problems connecting to my home wireless network. Using the Network Manager I've been able to find my home network and connect after entering the network password. After a minute or two the wireless network is still shown as active but their is no connection (websites will not load).
I'm completely new to Linux so I have almost no clue what could be causing this. I have tried connecting the notebook hardwired (Ethernet) to the router and get a perfect connection if that information helps any.

I recently got a lenovo w510 laptop and I installed openSUSE 11.3 KDE on it. the wireless works fine at home (802.11g WPA2) when I go to work I have tried to set up the wifi for the 802.1X PEAP network but it doesn't look like it even tries to connect.
The work network set up is as follows. non-brodcasting SSID (do I need to tell network manager of this? I manually enter the SSID no problem)
Dynamic WEP 802.1X
PEAP
blank anonymous identity
no CA cert (I suspect this might be the problem)
PEAP v 1
MSCHAPv2
I have verified my username and pw several times, as well as the SSID. Just yesterday I helped a co-worker get on the network under ubuntu and it worked like a charm.
The Hardware profile displays the wifi card as a "WiFi Link 6000 Series" It is an intel card.

I just got connected to Charter Cable Internet service a few days ago and I'm having a weird problem with my home network. Prior to this my network worked fine. On my network I have a desktop running Ubuntu 9.10/64 and Virtualbox with WinXP installed, an HTPC with Ubuntu 9.10/32 installed and a laptop dual booted with Ubuntu 9.10/32 and WinXP. The desktop and HTPC are hard wired to a wireless router and the laptop is wireless. The cable modem is hard wired to the router. I have samba installed and UFW is disabled. The problem is: with the cable modem turned off or on standby, all machines connect to each other and can transfer files, etc just fine but when I activate the cable modem all of the machines can connect to the Internet but the machines running Ubuntu can't connect to each other on the home network. If I boot the laptop into Windows, it can connect to the Linux machines just fine but if I boot it into Linux, it won't connect to the Linux machines but it can connect to the Internet and as far as the desktop, Ubuntu won't connect to the network but Windows running in the Virtualbox with bridged networking can connect to all of the machines.

I've got a telstra MF 636 modem that I've been trying to make work in Ubuntu 10.10.
Telstra have the modem report itself as a CD when it is first plugged in, but I've found out how to get around that using the terminal in the telstra software.
Anyway, my problem is that the computer will not recognise that the modem is plugged in. lsusb reports it as there, but the access point does not appear under the network icon 99 percent of the time. On the rare occasion it does, I click it, and it tries to connect, with the little animation and all, but it just disconnects.

I currently have a desktop PC (running 10.04) connected to the home hub (v2) via ethernet and everything works correctly. I want to change to wireless so I can move the home hub, I've tried several usb wireless adapters and always end up with the same issue. I can associate with the home hub it will hand out an ip address, answer dns queries and allow me to connect to its web setup page but not the internet (ping, web, etc). I also have a htpc (also 10.04) which is able to connect through the wireless correctly plus a laptop running XP.
Desktop - Ubuntu 10.04 (gnome)
HTPC - Mythtv 10.04
Laptop - Windows XP
Wireless Dlink G132, Belkin f5d7050, edimax EW-7711UTn (currently in use) (Configured using wpa_supplicant)BT Home Hub V2 (Black)

I have wubi Kubuntu installed and had no problems with wireless at home. Starbucks uses the Bell network for free wireless access, and in Windows I can use it without problems. It is the typical free network, that immediately asks you for a login name when you try to use a web browser. When I do it in Ubuntu at Starbucks, it sees the network and "activates" it, but when I go to Firefox, it does not ask for the typical login information. It can't find any web pages at all.

For the past few months I've been using Ultimate Edition 2.3 on my laptop. Various problems I encountered convinced me to switch. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 today and after the install I can't pick up my wireless router on the list of available networks. I'm able to pick up every other one on my block, just not my own. My server and my roommates laptop can pick it up and are connected to it, the problem seems to be exclusive to this laptop with the fresh install on it.I tried the 'connect to hidden network' option and it doesn't connect, it just keeps asking for the psk

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 - 2.6.35-28-generic-pae i686 on a home build machine. The wireless has not been working for several months but I "duck taped" the problem by connecting my eee to my machine and using the internet that way. I'm finally getting to fixing the issue but I can't seem to figure out what the issue is. I think there might be a driver conflict because the wireless was detecting networks last night, but inconsistently - they would appear and then leave. Also, the green light on the wireless card does not work. Here is all the information I could provide:

I am new to Ubuntu, and I have just installed version 9.10 on my desktop PC. I need to connect my computer to my home network. Right now, I have no connection and cannot detect any of the hardware when running Ubuntu. When I switch over to my Windows XP partition, everything works fine.

As a user who is comfortable setting up a peer to peer network in Windows, how do I set up a simple peer to peer network with shares, on a standard network infrastructure (ethernet and basic dlink router), using Linux? I have two computers with Ubuntu 10.04, and would like to share files between them.Do I need to set static IP's? Why is only Windows network showing in Places/Networks?
Question two: I have 3 Windows computers (2 = XP, 1 = Win7) on my network, all with shares. When I try to access the windows shares from an Ubuntu machine, I can connect to some shares on some computers without being asked for credentials, however on other shares I am asked for credentials, but the credentials aren't accepted.I am assuming that domain = workgroup, so I enter in the workgroup name, but the dialogue refuses to let me in.

I'm having some difficulties setting up my ubuntu home server. I have vsftpd installed on my server, and I am able to use it perfectly when I am outside of my home. However, whenever I attempt to access my server through FTP from my desktop, it does not work. The file in question will load VERY SLOWLY to about 8% then the connection will drop out.My desktop and server are connected to the same router, and I feel as though this may be the issue.or vsftpd in a special way to access it through LAN?What I am trying to do specifically is use Comicpress (a Wordpress plugin) to upload comics to my server, with no luck.

I have 4 computers at home: 1 XP, 1 Laptop w/ Win7, 1 Mac, and 1 Ubuntu (hey, I like to try most everything). Anyway, I'm wanting to set up a home server to save everything on so that I don't have 3-4 copies of one file floating around. I was planning on using Ubuntu because I've always heard that Linux is a good system for a server and that Ubuntu is one of the easiest to work with.
Anyway, I just installed the Ubuntu OS, and the only software that I installed with it was Samba (I don't have a printer hooked up to this computer). Is samba the best software to use for this, or is there any other option that would be easier to use? I've heard that with samba there are a lot of things you have to change using the CLI (something about chmod, whatever that is, and others like it), which doesn't bother me, I've used CLI since the years before Windows, good ol' DOS.

I recently reformatted and dual partitioned to both Windows 7 as well as ubuntu 10.10. Loading works fine and Windows 7 is 100% operational. I cannot seem to get my wireless network adapter to be read by Ubuntus 'Windows Wireless Drivers' gui. Here are the steps that I have done THUS far, to make sure that we are all on the right path. Before I go any further, my wireless network adapter is an old school WUSB11 Linksys Wireless Network Adapter (running version 2.6).
1) Downloaded and installed "ndiswrapper" from ubuntu's main website. I downloaded the common, utils and ndisgtk files and installed them accordingly.
2) I extracted these three files to the desktop of Ubuntu and accessed the terminal page.
3) From terminal I typed "cd Desktop" to change the directory to the desktop.
4) Next, I typed in "Sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common_1.54-2ubuntu1_all.deb
Sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.54-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
Sudo dpkg -i ndisgtk_0.8.5-1_i386.deb"
5) This installed Windows Wireless Drivers gui successfully and I can access it.
6) I have downloaded the driver files for the adapter from the cisco website and searched them for the required files needed.
7) After extracting the .INF file from the "Drivers" directory named "NETUSB.SYS" (I wasn't sure if the other associated files within the same folder needed to be present together with NETUSB so I moved everything to the desktop) I typed in "sudo ndiswrapper -i NETUSB.inf". After accessing the Windows Wireless Drivers gui I have noticed that the 'netusb' driver is present yet under it, the system states "Hardware present: No". This leads me to believe that maybe I installed incorrectly or my "fireware?" is not present? I was reading through the installation guide posted on the ubuntu website that in addition to the .INF file we also need the BIN file(s)? and SYS file(s)?.. The folder with the drivers for my adapter contains a BIN file but it is not within the "Drivers" section of the folder.
9) Upon mousing over the network Icon naturally my hardware is still not present.
10) From what I gather after the system finds the hardware I am to write into the terminal
