I am trying to use aircard 875u with ubuntu 10.04
The card seems to instal well, and it shows up under network manager... it is there under accelerated mode
but then when I try to connect to it/click on it, it asks for password for mini card or something Incorporated? I mean.. does it mean the cingular1 as password...? cant seem to get it to work.
I work for a regional cell phone company, and have recently taken it upon myself to create some documentation that will aid our mobile broadband users with installation of the aircards we carry.I decided to start out with Ubuntu 9.10, and I am using a Novatel mc727. I set it up using the mobile broadband feature that is built in, but I am having a few problems. First I have noticed that once you get the connection created, if you try to edit the settings, an error pops up stating that you are not authorized to do so, before I even get a chance to put in the password. Its not really a big deal, and if it comes down to it you can always delete the connection and start over. However, I have noticed that with the card plugged in, sometimes it can take up to 15 minutes to be recognized as a connection. I got to thinking about it and figured it may have something to do with the fact that this card, and all the cards we carry are seen on windows as a mass storage device. So to test this, i left the card in and rebooted, and of course on reboot, the card was mounted and once i hit eject, it was seen as a modem right away.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have seen tutorials on setting up a secured firewall/router/gateway using ubuntu server as the platform. However, I am wondering if anyone has had experience with using an aircard (wireless broadband card via usb) to set up a router.
Which card do you recommend? Any precautions? Any specific code already written to automatically recognize mobile broadband cards and restart the connection if it goes stale?
I am hoping somebody will have some information about a driver or instructions to use the iFox HSPA 820 AirCard. I sent an email to their contact address but have had no reply after two working days. Perhaps two days is not so long to wait? Anyway, according to their site, one of the supported OS is Linux

I have one of the new Verizon 4G VL600 usb aircards. I also have the UML290. I was able to get the UML290 working using wvdial, but I was not able to get the VL600 card working. I am trying to ditch windows, but unfortunately can't until I get this card working, because I had to give the working card to our support people.
This is a known issue, but I want to spur some more conversation regarding it.
Here are some of the diagnostics and output I have regarding the device:
So all in all it looks like the device is showing up as an ethernet controller and the system itself is setting it up as eth1 in my case.
The throughput on this thing in covered areas is 18Mbps at times, which is friggin fast as far as I'm concerned. I would love to have that on the move, but I have no idea what to do from here.
I'm using ubuntu 10.10 x32 dekstop, on a lenovo x201.
I'm having trouble adding the ports to the firewall. I have ports 2230, 2236, 2240, and 2242 tcp and local host added to the museeks setup. When trying to connect, I am not able to get past the museek port test.
What additional steps do I need to take to enable connecting? I've tried both passive and active, localhost and tcp. Because our connections vary with wireless, ethernet, and aircard, we nee to be able to use the server when possible.
I am using kubuntu 10.10. My system certainly picks it up, but research indicates that installation should be pretty automatic.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing Network manager, I have been able to use my Aircard to get on the internet. However, many times, the connection is dropped after a short time (<1min), I can reconnect after waiting about another minute. After going through this cycle a couple of times, the aircard stays connected. Since Network Manager doesn't use the "normal" config files for network interfaces I have been chasing my tail trying to figure out what is going on.
Have recently added a router to my system Linksys Model BEFSR41. Now, I can connect to the internet with the aircard but firefox will not find the internet unless I disconnect from the router. Some website have stated that Network Manager is not meant for wired networks - not sure why since there is clearly a tab for that.
In any event, I would like to get rid of Network Manager and just use more normal config files for my networking. Before I delete Network Manager, I want to make sure I can access the internet through the aircard. Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried PON with various settings but don't seem to be able to get anywhere. No DSL, cable or other inet connections in my neighborhood. Aircard is my only (affordable) option.
If I boot my CentOS 5.2 box, then insert a Verizon aircard, then modprobe usbserial I end up with /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1. If I then warm boot (init 6) the machine and modprobe usbserial /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 are there and usable. If I cold boot the machine (init 0 and power on) then modprobe usbserial, /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 do not show up. If I unplug the aircard and plug it back in, the devices are created and ready to go. The machine will be in an unattended environment and I can not remove the device on every power up. How can I get the machine to find the usb device on the cold boot vs the warm boot? I don't understand why there is a difference to begin with...

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 have 3 Dell Precision M4400 machines. After getting updates yesterday or today, I get random network dropouts like crazy, on wired or wireless. On one machine I was able to turn off ipv6 in grub and reboot, and it works now. However on the other 2 machines, still have the same problems. All 3 are running 9.10 64 bit. Is there a way I can back out the updates so the network works again? Anyone else see this behavior after updates today?

Then I powered off. After turning the pc back on and logging in I have no internet. Not even with the Ethernet plugged directly in. There is supposed to be a little blue light on when it sees the wireless and that is off. When I click on the networking icon in the system tray it says networking disabled. It shows no wireless. When I plug directly in I still get nothing. I'm using 10.04

I just started having a problem with my 10.04 laptop a few days ago, maybe Thursday, last week. When the computer is plugged into my home network (standard 192.168.1.1 sort of IPs) it works fine, but when I try to connect to my work network (130.15.90.XX) I am unable to pick up an IP. The router in my office is working fine, all the windows boxes can connect.
I've also noticed that when the computer is plugged in at work the notification icon for the networking indicates it is looking for a wireless connection (rather than the normal up/down arrows), even if wireless is deactivated
I can set a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces and everything works, so it seems to be a DHCP problem?
I'm using a Packard Bell Easynote Tn36 laptop, and I'm having trouble with Ubuntu 10.10 and the wireless network card, (probably because of lack of driver). I.e. it is disabled.
How can I enable it?
I input this code:
And here is the output:
Whenever I start up my laptop i do not get a wireless connection automatically. I have to rightclick network manager applet and select enable networking. After that everything works fine untill i shutdown and restart my laptop. I would like a way to change this so that my wifi connection is working whithout having to click something first..

I have a server with two ethernet ports. I configured eth0 to be static, set at 10.1.10.148. I plugged in another router into the other ethernet port in order to configure that router. I configured eth1 to use dhcp. Using /etc/network/interfaces rather than gnome network manager. When I did this, I lost internet connectivity (internet routes through eth0 of course)
- Why did I lose internet connectivity?
In order to recover internet activity, I had to disconnect the new router on eth1 of course, and do sudo ifdown eth1. That wasn't enough however. After rebooting numerous times and pulling out my hair, I finally tried configuring eth0 as dhcp, rather than static, and this fixed the problem.
- Why didn't sudo ifdown eth1 solve the problem? What information was saved between reboots that somehow remembered that I plugged in the new router? Because my thinking was if /etc/network/interfaces was identical, and the network topology was identical, after a reboot everything should be restored, but it wasn't.
I can connect to the internet and browse. I'm wired and using DHCP on a Windows network. Updating Ubuntu or downloading programs takes hours for 52MB of updates. Why? I read some articles that mention Network Manager needs to be enabled at the .conf file. Can I edit this using GUI or command line only?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to natty last night, and everything is working fine except for the network manager. I can enable and configure the wireless card via bash, but the network manager widget will not manage the wireless card.
When I first boot up, the "Enable wireless" check box is greyed out. After I enable the card via the terminal, the "Enable wireless" check box becomes ungreyed, but every time I click it, it instantly unchecks itself. I feel like Currly from the Three Stoogies. Check, uncheck, Check, uncheck.. "Slaps face repeatedly."
I have Packard Bell easynote tn36 and I used to use ubuntu 10.10 and then when I upgrad it to ubuntu 11.04 the wireless doesn't work (disable) and I can't press the botton of Enable wireless.

As it was just after Christmas I thought it must be down, for upgrades or maintenance etc. I later tried to go to Freebsd.org; same error. I've been having a small number of other websites give the same error. I thought nothing of this until I tried it on my wife's macpro. I could log onto all the websites I wanted to and none gave any indication of having been down. Both boxes are on the same adsl connection. I still can't access internode or freebsd on 10.10 yet have been able to access every website on OSX. Now, I was only looking at them for info but am worried I won't be able to access something important. (so far everything I 'need' is working)
ping just drops out. edit: weirdest thing! I just retried and now can not emulate the problem for internode. freebsd still won't show. that is less than five minutes between problems and resolution! I hadn't even posted! But I still would like to have an idea of what is going on. Here is the ping error for freebsd: Quote:

I am attempting to setup and old BBSinside of DosBOXI've built one of the DosBOX Megabuilds, with the NE2000 patch.It uses libpcap in order to piggy back on top of the system's NIC. All of the dosbox side appears to be working.My system comes up, gets the MAC address i told it to use, i can load a packet driver in dosbox, all of that seems well and good. The issue, i think, is on the linux side. It's built on a Fedora 14 box. I'm getting the feeling that networking isnt getting out of the dosbox instance. Does it seem possible that fedora needs to have some config in place to link networking over to dosbox?
