Ubuntu Networking :: Aircraft-manager To Turn Wireless On?
Aug 17, 2010
My wifi was off when I upgraded to Windows 7 and can't turn it back on now. I red about aircraft-manager and installed Ubuntu 10.04 newbie, loving ubuntu already!).Installed aircraft-manager 12.1 but it doesn't open and when I shut down a messages informs me that aircraft-manager is not responding. So I thought it was Ubuntu 10.04 and made a Ubuntu 9.04 live USB. Same problem.I have a LG e200 notebook with ATI redeon graphics card and Atheros wireless adapter.

I'm having problems with my wireless card. The network manager won't allow me to turn it on. It is working in windows and in ubuntu, but I can't get it to turn on under fedora. I'm using a Lenovo B570 laptop and it uses the Centrino Wireless-N 1000 for wireless.

I installed Kubuntu 10.04 on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv5-1010) and the networking was working fine for the most part, but then not sure what happened, the screen just kinda went blank so I restarted the laptop, and now the wireless won't turn on. There's a button on the laptop to turn it on and off, but I can't seem to get that to function in Linux. I'm assuming it's just a simple matter of getting the wireless to switch back on again, unfortunately I can't figure out how to do that .
Edit: I've tried to whole booting into windows and turning the wireless on there, and before that's worked, but it doesn't seem to be working this time around.

Ubuntu 10.4 LTS as a Live CD (intend to dual boot later, testing for now.) Laptop : Acer Aspire 5251-1513 Wireless card: Atheros AR928X PCI-Express
To turn this on in Windows, I have to do Fn F3. But it does not work in Ubuntu. Most of the other Fn keys work, sound, screen, brightness. Found some relative info, but nothing that might be certain
Now, I know there are some issues with that Artheros card, but I think i need to first get it activated.

I am having issues trying to turn on my wireless card. I have tried to use the ifconfig command to do so, but it gave me an error.
Code:
@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
This is what I get when I type iwconfig

I have an HP Compaq 6735s with a Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g draft-n wireless card that I've been running 9.10 (the karmic koala one I think it was called) on for the past 7 or 8 months (been running Ubuntu in general for the last couple years). The card won't turn on--the indicator light is always orange, not blue as it should be. I thought it might be a hardware problem so I took it to a shop, but they tested it several times and said the card was fine and that upgrading my software should solve the problem.
I just upgraded it to the 10.10 distro (usually a friend did my upgrades for me but alas that's no longer an option) but that has not fixed it. I thought to try and re-download the Broadcom drivers on a different computer, then transfer them to my laptop, but when I did that and tried to open the .exe file, a message popped up saying the file was no good. (Can you tell I'm not a computer pro yet? Haha) Any idea how I could fix this or what the problem might be? I'm really frustrated as it's been an issue for the last six months, plus this is my only computer and I need it to function fully for purposes of finding a job, etc. If I could I'd just buy a different computer at this point (really disappointed with HP laptops in general) but sadly that's not an option. I'm to the point where I'd consider running Windows again just to make the damn thing work.

switched from 4 years Ubuntu use due to Unity, and thus also new to this forum but I hope that you can help me, so I later on can give back to the community.My problem is that the Wireless in Network Manager refuse to go to "on", or to be more correct it goes to "on" for about a second and then back to "off". My computer which uses F15, a Lenovo B560 laptop, have a BCM4313 and the apparent reason is that after that I installed the broadcom-wl and run "su -c 'modprobe wl'" so did I get the response "FATAL: Driver not found". However, the earlier non-existing wireless button in the network manager appeard after the installation, id est the broadcom-wl must have been in plase.

I accidentally clicked a secured wireless which I do not have password. Now every time I open Ubuntu, a window pops up asking for password for the wireless. I am wondering how to turn if off.

====== Wireless Access Point & IP Forwarding Mini-Howto ======Use case: we have a pc (laptop, for that matter) with UBUNTU 10.04, and with wired connection to the internet. We want to connect iPod/iPhone or any other device to this laptop, and browse the internet, effectivelly turning our pc/laptop to a WI-FI access point. At this stage, we would not implement any encryption, so our network would be open to anyone.
Oour pc/laptop have 2 working interfaces, wlan0 and eth0. Device eth0 is the wired connection to the internet, device wlan0 is going to be set up as the wireless access point for the iPod/iPhone or similar gadget. We want to forward any IP traffic attached to wlan0 through to eth0. Interface eth0 can either obtain the IP addres from DHCP server on the router, or it can be fixed, it does not matter. But we definitelly need to set fixed IP address to wlan0, and configure dhcp server to listen on this interface.
===== Things to do =====
configure iptables to forward the traffic from wlan0 to eth0
setup wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces

So I just loaded ubuntu 10.10....and it works great...except for my wirelessi've got a broadcom b43 ...i went into system, administration, download additional drivers and downloaded/authenticated a b43 driver, but my machine (hp dv4405) does not recognize any wireless signals. The wireless light on my computer doesnt turn on (there's a button to turn it on and off) anyways...it's annoying. I guess broadcom recently released some open source drivers, but I'm having trouble sorting through all the info

I have an HP mini 110 with Fedora 11 install. I installed the broadcom-wl and wl-kmod from yum but still no wireless. First I can't get the broadcom card to turn on using the slide switch on the front of the computer. The device is inactive in the network configuration-devices window. The card is not in the network configuration hardware window. When I try to add it manually, there is no entry for the card in the drop down list. I am new to Fedora but have used linux for years. Unfortunately this is my first attempt at wireless networking.
The posts and google stuff doesn't say much more than "yum install broadcom-wl" Can anyone point me into the right direction? I have a feeling I am missing something very simple, because this computer dual boots Linux Mint and wireless works flawlessly.

I have a hp zd7249cl laptop and have installed ubuntu 10.10 on it. The main problem I am having at the time is the wireless button will not turn on so there for I have no internet access. The switch works fine in windows, but not in ubuntu. The switch didn't work with the live cd either, but I thought it might after install. The wired card that is in the laptop is no good and quit working a couple of years ago so all I have is wireless now.

First the wireless bug. This was in 9.10 as well. If I start at home, log in to my wireless and everything works. Then I close the laptop and go to work. It suspends. I get to work and I log onto the wireless here. Then when I go back home (another suspend) it thinks it is still connected to the work wifi when it wakes up. It will *not* connect to the home network. It sees it and attempts a connection, (releases the work ssid and tries to connectm but fails every time). I have tried taking the if down than back up, I tried turning off wireless then back on. etc. The *only* way I have been able to get it to log back on is to reboot.
Network manager no longer supports PAN (it did in 9.10). I have BT set up to create a PAN with my iPhone. It never shows up in the network manager. It connects via USB, but never shows the BT PAN. ifconfig shows a valid connection, but it always shows a connection with an ip address..

my laptop has a bad power connector on the motherboard so its constantly making the "power manager" box pop up and it annoys the hell out of me. since its loose it will keep popping up over and over. i either have to click the webpage to put it in the background or click "ok" or "cancel" 20 times to close them all. i like the dark grey box that pops up in the corner but the one in the middle of the screen sucks. is there someway to disable it?

I have 10.04 installed on my HP MiniNote Netbook. If I plug it into the the ethernet directly, all is well, but if I only use the wireless, i get no DNS servers. And one of my wireless networks is on the same router as the wired connection. Also, wireless works just perfectly on my MacBook Air. So, I do not think it is the router. So why am I not getting DNS addresses? How would I set them manually? I can't figure out how to start network manager.

I want to set up a static IP on my laptop that connects via wireless to my home network. I have 11.04 installed on my laptop. When I try to use the manual IPv4 setting in the network manager the save option gets greyed out. I tried to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file but all the examples I could find on the net refer to eth0. I tried replacing this with wlan0 but this did not work. I tried installing wicd but I kept getting "Bad Password" errors even though I know the password is correct. A number of people recommended uninstalling network manager to get wicd to work but many other posts said that uninstalling network manager didn't help so I didn't want to go ahead and uninstall unnecessarily. Besides I figure if Ubuntu is distributed with network manager there must be a reason for having it. So what do I do to get a static IP address for the client on a wireless connection?
1. I went to network manager and selected "Connection Information" On the information window I saw the following:
IPv4
IP Address: 192.168.1.6 (This is the item I wanted to change and make static)
Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
[code].....
2. I went to network manager and selected "Edit Connections"
3. I selected the wireless tab and then the wireless network I wanted to edit
4. I clicked on the edit button and then I clicked on the IPv4 settings tab.
5. I changed method from Automatic (DHCP) to Manual

To start off I have a Rosewill rnx-n2x wireless adapter and a Dlink 4500 router. The problem is, the wireless network manager detects every wireless router in the neighborhood, except mine. I see this persons, and this persons, but no "My router Not yours". I even tried doing the hidden network setup and still nothing.
I have read that the rnx n2x isnt supported by linux, although I've seen solutions to make it work (which didn't work, mkdir command kept getting denied during make) link to what I'm talking about: [URL]. What I don't get though, is that if the rnx n2x isnt supported by linux, wouldn't I not be getting my neighbors connections to begin with?

I'm not sure if I have two seperate issues or one inter-related issue. The Network Manager applet wasn't appearing in the tray, found out it wasn't installed. Installed, still didn't appear. Tried installing WiCd, WiCd did appear but couldn't find any networks. I had installed restricted drivers previous, decided it was worth another look. Found that Broadcom STA Wireless Driver wasn't installed. Tried to install, it said it couldn't and said I should review the var/log/jockey which is....excessively long.

I'm trying to search for more wireless networks but i cannot find a way to make network manager search for more wireless networks. It only displays 2 wireless networks and none of them is mine, even though I've got my wireless router at less than 1 meter from my PC.

A couple of weeks ago my laptop's wifi started acting up, to the point that it didn't function. When I click the nwManager icon to being up a list of available networks, it is empty. If I try to create a new network, with the credentials of my modem, it appears to work, and asks for the password. After I enter the password, it seems to work for about 30 seconds (much longer than normal) but then it prompts me again for the password. This cycle continues indefinitely.
I'm running Karmic on a Dell i1525. how to find out what wireless card I have.

As I mentioned on the thread title, I can not connect wilreless under awesome window manager,it can scan wirless, but just can not connect it. I am using
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "...." key s:"***"
or
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "...." key s:**** (I try both, neither of it works)
and I do some search, and trying
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "..." key s:*****
it is not working as well.
So, hoping you can give any solution. I am appreciating your helping.
But, interesting thing is, under gnome, it wireless is pretty good, I have no idea how it could be, but just works fine.
btw, under awesome, when I typing nm-tool, it always indicate that wlan0 is disconnect.

I've installed ubuntu 10.04 on a hp mini 110. I've used netbook remix on this same computer and had no problems with a wireless connection. In this case, network manager shows wireless disabled. I have installed the Broadcom B43 Wireless drive from Adminstration->Hardware drivers. No help! ifconfig does not
show eth1 and lspci tells me that the Broadcom BCM4312 Network controller is present.

I deleted all APs in my Wireless Section of network manager. After that, the whole network manager icon disappeared. I added the icon back on the panel, but I don't think its the right one. It doesn't do the two green cicles thing when I connect my ethernet wire in. It also doesn't show any wireless AP when I left click on the icon. It doesn't even have an X mark on the bottom left of the icon when no network is detected
