Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless "disconnected" Or "device Not Ready"?
Jun 21, 2010
I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 and burnt it to a CD so I could try Ubuntu before installing it via Live CD. It automatically displayed the window where you download drivers for your hardware, I activated the Broadcom drivers, and WiFi worked fine. So then I installed it inside of Windows (as a dual-boot). Now, when I open the hardware managing window (I forget what it's called), there are no drivers listed to be activated. Since I am unable to activate the Broadcom divers, I can't get internet over wifi. Also, I don't have access to a wired connection, but I do have blank CD's and a USB stick (if that helps). How can I fix this?

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.

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 just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and I can't seem to get the wireless connection to function. Ubuntu either says that the card is turned off or if I toggle the wireless switch on my keyboard it then says 'device not ready.' I'm using a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card, and it works fine when I boot in Windows 7.

I thought I'd give Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal??) a try on an old Dell Latitude D600 I had lying around. Install went great. Everything seems to run nice and slick.. except one thing.. the wireless is giving me the old "Device not ready (firmware missing)" So I can only use my lappy on a leash.
It's a pretty common Broadcom NIC... and I've tried running the System / Administration / Additional Drivers and nothing comes up.
It seems to me I need a driver someplace...I don't know where or how to get it installed.

This morning I installed Fedora 14 on my laptop. During the setup, I was able to configure the wireless connection and use it to install additional software from the FreshRPMs and Livna repos. When the install was completed, I was surprised to find the wireless not working. When I click on the NetworkManager icon at the bottom right corner, I see "Wireless Networks" Under that it says "device not ready" and it is greyed out so it cannot be click on.
Running lspci -vnn returned
07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: ath5k
Kernel modules: ath5k
Running lsmod confirmed that ath5k is in fact loaded.

I have a HP Elitebook 6930 with Intel 5300 wireless card and today I update it from Fedora11 to Fedora 12 and now I cannot connect with my home wireless network. Previously with F11 I connected without problems but now the wireless connection presents a "Device not ready" message. I tried to switch on/off the wireless card but without results. I had to set intel_iommu=off as kernel parameter to complete the boot. Is something related to it?

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:

Wireless stopped working with version 10.10, it was fine with previous versions, now it says "device not ready". Hardware works fine under Windows, and is a Linux-friendly Asus RaLink RT2860.

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop. For some reason Wireless Network does not work any more (there was installed 9.04 before).
lspci says:
Code:
00:06.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
System->Administration->Additional Drivers doesn't list anything.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 (cause 10.04 is crazy glitchy on this system) and I've hit a snag.My wireless won't work! I used it before in 10.04, but it won't work in 9.10.I've made sure that the wireless switch on my keyboard is on. When I click on my network icon, it says that the device is not ready. I'm fully updated and just need this last thing

is there any way to download the 'package indexes' on a seperate computer operating on windows vista, before transferring them, via usb, to my laptop working on linux 10.10. As the reason i need them is to get the wireless to work so the internet can work.

I tried all the threads to load and compile the driver for the Belkin wireless-N F5D8053 (Ralink RT2870 chip) I still cannot get it to come up - the wireless status says device not ready. Here is some of the system info relating to the adapter:
terry@terry-desktop:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:bf:53:02:8f
inet6 addr: fe80::214:bfff:fe53:28f/64 Scope:Link

I want to give a new life to my old Mac Mini that has become too weak for Mac OS ...I successfully installed the Ubuntu 9.10 PPC version (alternate) on the machine. EXCEPT for the support of the wifi antenna. Network manager says: "device not ready". I suppose there is a standard tweak to get over this hurdle.

I tried to implement the solution given at: [URL] on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, running Ubuntu 11.04. However, I still can't connect to wifi.
I can see that the files were extracted inside /lib/firmware/ (I see a b43 and a b43 legacy folder).
The lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 returns:

I'm having problems with my Internet. I just recently downloaded 10.04 (went from 8.04) and now I can't get online! I could yesterday! I don't have access to the router, but the internet works great on all my Windows computers. On my panel it show's my wireless connection bars with an exclamation mark and says disconnected. I don't know what to do! It's a Toshiba Satellite computer.
Also, I can't update anything, or install anything because I don't have direct access to the router. I know there is a lot of information about this problem already, but everything I've seen needs me to download new drivers. If you know how to do it from one computer to another I can do that. I'm just not very techy.

This morning I connected to internet, using the 'hidden network' feature of Ubuntu, like I always do. In the beginning it worked well, but after a while, while playing a game, I got disconnected. As I closed this game, I discovered that Ubuntu was asking for the WPA key (it was already filled out correctly) There were no changes made in the network while I was playing. My brother and his girlfriend can both connect using their Windows 7 laptops, so the network itself should be allright.

I recently installed Ubuntu. I just installed ndiswrapper so I could install my wireless PCI [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]card [COLOR=blue ! important]drivers[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
I did that and it is recognized and so is the network I want to connect to. But for some reason, it just wont connect. It will spend a long time trying to connect, but then just says "disconnected". It's not like I have a bad connection or anything. My internet on Windows is fast.

Since I have started to use Ubuntu 9.10, I have had multiple wireless connection troubles. First of all, it says the signal is 2 bars, when in fact my router is right next to me as of right now. Second of all, when I try to connect to it, it asks for my password 3 times, then says disconnected. I'm on a hardwire right now, it's across my keyboard, and I'm in a tangled mess.

Recently, I wiped my existing install of Ubuntu 10.10 and reinstalled it over. That went smoothly, except for one little snag. Now when I try to connect to the Internet, up on the top when I click the little network icon, under Wireless Networks, instead of showing the networks I can connect to, it says:
"Device Not Ready (Firmware Missing)" So I move the little wireless switch on my laptop, and then it says:
"Wireless Disabled" What did I do, and how do I fix it?

This is not the common problem that's on the stickied thread. I'm able to connect to my wireless network perfectly. I switch between Windows to game and Linux for desktop, coding, and hosting, so I can tell it has something to do with ubuntu 10.10. When I'm connected to my wireless network, at random times, my internet begins to slowdown, then I get disconnected from the internet, but the taskbar says I'm connected. This problem only happens in ubuntu and not Windows for some strange reason.
The applications that are usually open do not cause it, because it still does it even though I have little applications open (Google Chrome, gedit). When I'm on Teamspeak 3, I notice my ping rises to the 1000s randomly, and I get disconnected. Once again that only happens on Ubuntu.

I just installed 10.10 for netbooks, and apparently it's using the RT2800PCI driver for my wireless NIC in my EeePC 901. That driver is causing havoc with my school network, I keep getting disconnected, and loading websites is really slow.
Now I know that 10.04 uses a different driver RT2860 which seems to work far better on this network.
How to change to the driver from lucid. Or does anyone know of an even better solution? I've heard rumors about something called ndiswrapper...
