Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Connect On Toshiba Satellite M645 With Intel 802.11 A/g/n Wireless LAN
Jan 25, 2011
I cant seem to understand what happens to my wifi networking, i just installed ubuntu 10.10 today (completely erasing windows) on my toshiba satellite m645. Seems like my wireless card (the specs say its intel 802.11a/g/n wireless LAN) will only randomly detect the available networks or will connect only for a few seconds just after i just turned it on, then it will disconnect.
Wireless worked fine on live cd, but for some reason not after install. I think maybe the driver is not loading, but I am a pretty much still a noob, so my opinion isn't worth much. If it is the driver not loading, I don't know what to do to fix it. Here is my wireless output information.

get the wireless working on my mum's laptop as having to plug it into the router everytime she wants to go online is now becoming an issue for her. I recently upgraded it from 8.04 to 9.04. Ive tried using the Windows Wireless Driver option in System - Admin but to no avail.

I've been having a lot of trouble connecting to my Wireless Router. It worked fine when I had XP on it, so it's not the actual inbuilt WLAN. I put in the correct password, it's MAC address is registered on the router, yet it will constantly query me for a password despite it being put in correctly. I've tried searching the forums for any similar issues, and their concurrent fixes.
I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my brother's Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 and have spent all day trying to get the wireless to work.
the laptop does not have a physical wifi-switch (it should switch on-off with Fn+F8, which doesn't work), the drivers seem to be installed, but I cannot 'enable wireless', and I found that it is 'Hard blocked':
sudo rfkill list all :
0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes but 'rfkill unblock all' does nothing.
I went through several posts for making the Toshiba wireless working. None of them seemed to work. The Fn+F8 key is also not working, as with many other ppl here is output for sudo lshw -C network
Just bought this toshiba laptop m645-s4114 today @ bestbuy and I installed the ubuntu 11.04 successfully erasing the MS OS on it but later realized my wireless network doesn't work. I have tried and followed everything that was given on some linux ubuntu forums with no avail.
I have my laptop dual booted between Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. In Ubuntu I randomly lose connection to the wireless network. It always works fine when I first boot into Ubuntu but after a while my wireless connection will go down. The signal strength meter will go to zero bars and the black popup message will appear that my wireless connection has disconnected. At first, if I just wait a bit, the connection will come back. However, after about 4 or 5 times of doing this it will then ask me for my password, and inputting the password does not reconnect me to the AP. I am finally forced to reboot. Then it works OK for a while again and the cycle repeats.
It works fine in Windows7 all day, every day. I have the Release Candidate of Windows7 so it's going to expire soon. I would really prefer to make Ubuntu my everyday OS on this laptop rather than pay for a Windows7 license but I cannot tolerate a flaky wireless connection.
I had 8.1 on this laptop at one point and I never had any problems with the wireless then, that I can remember. I had no Ubuntu for a while but then I came back with the 9.1 and was loving it until the wireless problem reared it's ugly head.
Wireless found by lspci: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
F13: wireless is disabled - running lspci shows a realtek ethernet 8101/8102 - the wired ethernet works fine but not the wireless. Have searched google but they say the realtek drivers should be in the kernel since 2008.are there other commands that can be typed to try to enable the wireless ?
My wireless (Toshiba laptop, 10.04 64 bit) is just hanging when trying to connect. It was working fine but now nothing. My Wireless antennae is on and my other laptop can connect with no problems. I have restarted the router and the laptop twice.

I got offered a position with an IT firm that requires me to do system penetration testing I heard Back Track was the way to go. I was reading and came across some forums stating that BT4 has issues with wireless network adapters in laptops.The network adapter is a:
getting the wireless chipset (Realtek 8176) to work, but finally got the WLAN to show up. Now, it seems as though it will recognize my WLAN and SSID, ask for my WPA password, but never connect. I connect fine over wired ethernet. It will not connect wirelessly to an unsecured network either. I previously had Jolicloud installed on my netbook, and my wireless worked out of the box with no setup, but I really didn't like the lack of application support with Jolicloud. I ended up in dependency hell just trying to update Banshee for use with my iPod.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 - 64bit install with an A215. The wifi was working fine until today. Ubuntu seems to detect the hardware, and it shows the interface as being 'up', however no networks show up in either the network manager or 'sudo iwlist scan'. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue, or if the hardware itself died.Here is the output of lspci:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 Host Bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 PCI to PCI Bridge (Internal gfx)
Ubuntu can connect to my network, but it does not connect to the internet. Internet works perfectly on Windows, though. Firefox gives the 'server not found' error. Ubuntu Software Center stops at 37% when 'Updating cache' and then jumps to 95% and then says: 'Internet connection is down'. I disabled IPv6.

i have been working with this laptop for a few days now, started out trying to use 10.04 but saw in a forum that 9.04 worked better ootb with this model box, total noob here but i have successfully run linux on a number of computers for the past 3 years but have never had this much trouble.
I just installed lucid in my laptop (Toshiba Satellite L-650) and no networks are available. I cannot connect to the wireless network. Therefore I tried to connect with a cable directly from the router (and this works in a different computer with windows), but no networks were available either. Here is some information.
When I'm running Ubuntu everything seems to work perfectly until I try to connect to a wireless network. My wireless card supposedly works out of the box because I can scan for wireless networks without a problem. The only time it becomes a problem is when I try to connect to a wireless network. Doing so causes my computer to freeze, requiring a hard-restart. I disabled the driver that comes with Ubuntu, and installed ndiswrapper with my card's corresponding windows driver. As soon as I modprobe'd ndiswrapper, my computer froze as it did before and required a hard restart. This was about a month ago, and since then I have tried OpenSUSE and Fedora, but these distros also did the same thing. I eventually gave up and installed Windows 7 and everything works perfectly. However, I'm now growing tired of using Windows. (I do a lot of linux server administration, and it's much nicer to do from a linux machine.) I would very much like to try to get Ubuntu working on this laptop again. Does anyone know what the solution may be?
EDIT: If you are experiencing the same problem, DISABLE your PCI LAN card in your BIOS. Wireless should work fine. Seems that the LAN and WLAN card have a similar ID or something and linux confuses the two, so disabling LAN card solves the issue of not being able to use the wireless.
The Network card sees the Wireless network, but will not connect to the router. I have tried with and without security, and neither setting makes any difference. Using the Wired Network adapter does work when set to a STATIC IP.
I have an IBM Thinkpad T60, running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) with a dual boot of Windows XP. I am having trouble getting it to connect to my home wireless network, which uses WEP. It connected fine at my university when I first installed Lucid, but has not connected at home. I can see the network in the panel applet, with a good signal strength, but when I try to connect it repeatedly asks me for my key and never actually connects. I had this problem shortly before I installed Lucid, though it was working for a long time previously. I'm not sure what update caused it to stop working because I was at my university at the time, and it works fine there even now, so I didn't realize it right away.
I doubt this is a hardware issue because I can connect to the same network when I boot into Windows. I have seen posts about similar problems on the forums, but couldn't find any solutions that helped me.
Below is the information the wireless help guide said to post. Machine Brand and Model: IBM Thinkpad T60
I'm trying to set up ubuntu on my netbook, the brand and make is obscure, essentially, this is a no-name brandless build from china, but a pretty decent lappy. Atom N270 Intel 945GSE based. initially it was equipped with a 3DSP wifi/bluetooth mPCIe combo card, which is proprietary and didn't work on ubuntu (didn't even show up as a device), so I got an intel 4965agn based on compatibility list somewhere in the wiki.
The problem I have is that I see networks, but can't connect at home or at work or anywhere, it just hangs in the connecting status and then throws the authentication popup at me again (pw is all correct). I tried looking around at similar problems, some have wpa_supplicant related issues, but doesn't seem to be the same as mine.
I tried creating an unsecured network using my macbook's airport, and same thing happened with ubuntu... hangs in connecting status then drops, so it doesn't seem to be WPA. I don't have the device on me to do all the iflist iwlist checks for you, but if you could give me some clues, I'll post back when I get home.
I have recently installed the intel-wireless-tools and now my laptop detects my wireless router and connects to it but when I go into a browser I can access the internet. If I connect to the wired network no problems(same router) no go on Wireless.
working to sort out the damn wireless for too long. Mine in cent05 5.2 . network manager is on and I can see the icon on tray. It list all the wireless connections too, but just won't connect. WPA encry is disabled. further details below:
I have dell B130 with Ubuntu Karmic on it, and I like it. I recently purchased a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6033. I've been trying for about 24 hours to get Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit on this computer, but to no avail. I've seen some people say that they get error messages. When the cd loads up, it comes to the main page (run ubuntu off disk, install ubuntu, check for errors, etc.) Anyway, when I click to run it off the disk, the scren goes blank. The CD spins, but nothing happens from then on. I've tried a 32 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04, but the same thing happens. Just for experimentation, I tried xPud on it, and xpud works fine.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop, but when I open the ISO it opens this list of weird variables. It's a command list, and it just freezes. Nothing else.
I'm running Windows 7 with it and want to dual boot.
After installing the intel drivers I noticed a severe improvement to my system performance. I need Compiz now.. and I'll be fully satisfied. Any ideas?
I have previous used Ubuntu for a week, literally, on Thinkpad. Now, I got a laptop from my sister which is Toshiba Satelite A135-S4527 with Vista installed.
It's tad annoying for everything, (Why IE and WMP?)
I am thinking about changing to Ubuntu, but I have a few questions. (I don't have much experience with it)
1)I have to install with Desktop Version with 32 bit? (This computer says it's 32 bit, but I am not sure about Desktop Version)
2) I need to use Skype, but when I was using it, the other person can see me, but I was not able to see myself while I can see their face.
3) Which webcam should I get in order to install webcam easily?
4) I only need to use it for -- writing reports, Webcam chat with my family and friends. (AIM & Skype), Ubuntu is fine?
