Ubuntu Networking :: Wlan0 Is Flukey With Static Ip Address?
Feb 4, 2010Recently, I've set up Ubuntu Server 9.10 x86_64 (no GUI). I have two NIC cards in this machine. One is a wireless card that I would like to set a static IP address to. The other is an integrated NIC. Everything works just fine when I have everything set up under DHCP. I can ping both NIC cards with no issues. But as soon as I change over to a static setting, things work unexpectedly...
Things to keep in mind:
-All machines are running under the same subnet
-All machines are connected to a wireless router (freshly flashed with the latest firmware)
-This is a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 9.10 x86_64
--Static IP address on the WIRED (eth0) NIC works great. No issues. Can ping from my wireless laptop, and can ping from the machine to the outside world (ping google.com) as well as the gateway itself with excellent response times.
If I then turn on the WIRESLESS (wlan0) NIC after setting up a static address for it in /etc/network/interfaces, then turning the wlan0 on by issuing "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", wlan0 shows up, but does not have an IP address associated with it, even though I set it up as static. I also cannot ping wlan0 from my laptop. I assumed that was because I needed to restart the networking service. So after issuing "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", I am able to ping wlan0 from my laptop with no issues.
Here is where things get strange. Lets say that I physically pull the plug on eth0. After dong this, wlan0 stops responding to the ping request that was initiated by my laptop at the same exact time. If I plug the cable back in, both eth0 and wlan0 begin to respond once again. But soon after I try to SSH to wlan0, wlan0 decides that it no longer wants to respond to the ping. I should note that it does ask me for a username and a password, but after I entered my password, the ping stops responding. Why should the wlan0 be affected in any way if something happens to eth0?
This all started when I set the server up with only a static configuration on wlan0. It appeared to be working well. I was able to ping the machine from my laptop as well as SSH into the machine. I went to bed and the next morning, I was no longer able to ping the machine. I let the ping run for a small amount of time with a few responses here and there. Then after a little more time of letting ping run, it tends to respond. Almost like I bothered it enough to decide that it was appropriate to start working again.
Ideally, I would like to have ONLY a wireless connection. But if I need to have eth0 up, it would be great to have option work as well. Bottom line is that my wireless is flukey. And I would like to find out why.
Ubuntu Networking :: Hostapd - Failed To Set Interface WLAN0 To Master Mode

CentOS 5 Networking :: Machine Hangs / Never Brings Down Interface On Downing Wlan0
May 20, 2009I have managed to configure a wireles PCI card on CentOS 5.3 and it seems to work fine. It is a off brand (Hercules) with a Ralink RT61 chipset. I installed the most current driver (RT2501PCI/mPCI/CB(RT61:RT2561/RT2561S/RT2661) from the rt2x00 Open Source Project. I now have a question that might be very simple for one or more of you to answer. When I issue the command "shutdown -h now", the machine starts to come down and brings down eth0 cleanly, but when it attempts to bring down wlan0, the machine hangs and never brings down the interface OR powers off the box. The only way to complete the power off is to "hard" power off the machine.

Ubuntu Networking :: Configure Static IP - Use Of 'network'?
Apr 15, 2011I'm setting up a home webserver with Ubuntu 10.10 and want to configure the interface to static. I'm using a router, which is setup and working correctly. I have been using linux workstation with dhcp for some time.
I've edited my interfaces file to reflect the parameters for setting static ip, with the exception of 'network'. No matter what I put into this setting, it causes me to loose connectivity to the outside world. I've tried to put my router IP, and my IP set by my provider. What should the 'network' value be?
At this time, my 'interfaces' files only includes the following and has connectivity out to the internet:

Fedora Networking :: Bring Up Wi-fi PCI Card (ifup Wlan0 Or Ifconfig Wlan0 Up) Whole PC Just Hangs Until Power It Off
May 20, 2009When I try to bring up my wi-fi PCI card (ifup wlan0 or ifconfig wlan0 up) my whole PC just hangs until I power it off.
I believe I have the right drivers, but cannot see what I am doing wrong.
I'd really prefer not to go down the ndiswrapper route.
Firstly, I can see the PCI card and the driver it is using :
Code:
[J@gx260-f10 ~]$ lspci -k
...
...
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)
[Code]....
the PC just hangs for ever. No mouse movement, ctrl-alt-del, nothing.
I have downloaded a Linux driver from Realtek but it will not compile. I have the latest kernel-devel, headers, and gcc. I can post compiler errors if anybody would like. They're all apparently to do with missing parameters.
Ubuntu :: 10.4: Networking - Using Bind9 And Dhcp3 - Properly Configure Static Wired Connection?
Jun 15, 2010v10.4 {I have completely re-edited this thread because I have started over fresh. I am no longer using bind9, but now using the installation-defaults nameserver and dhcp and trying to get a handle on how things ought to be setup properly. My previous attempts was a disaster.}
Coming fresh out of a newly installed 10.4, I obviously was able to get network connectivity but then I ran into trouble the minute that I tried to change eth0/eth1 connections via network-manager's applet. What I found was, that when I attempted to define static connections, all bets were off. It seems that once one attempts to change eth0/eth1 which are wired devices, I was no longer able to recover my network connectivity!
I was however able to setup a wireless connection, so in this way I was able to get back network (and Internet) connectivity, and write this thread on this forum. I notice also, that there is no longer 'Networks' in the System->Administration menus! Geez, what the hell is going on? how to properly configure my static wired connection? Networks in 10.4 have really changed alot!

Networking :: Configure Static Ip For Removable Hard Drive Install For Use On Multiple Machines?
Sep 13, 2010I am using Debian 4 bigmem and I set up static ip for my box. This is for a class and we will be moving the hard drives around the lab to different computers. My question is what do I configure to get Debian to be ok with my using different nics at different times. My first time I used it, I had eth0, but now I'm on a different computer (same type of hardware on all systems) but my nic is now eth1... And I had to set up static again for that nic. How can I have it just maintain a static ip for whatever nic/mac address on the computer that my hard drive happens to be put on?

I changed in ktorrent client's configuration, and change interface to ppp0 from all interface, but it didnt work. When my eth0 id down I can ping using ppp0, but when eth0 is also up, I can ping via eth0 but not via ppp0 (ping xxxxx -I interface). What is I am doing wrong?

Ubuntu :: Wireless Card Won't Stay Connected - Iwconfig Says Wlan0 Is Interface
Jun 11, 2010having trouble with my asus 1000 rt2860 wireless n card and WPA/PSK/WPA2 connections. Funky thing is it worked in the 2.26.32-21 kernel (iwconfig shows ra0 as the wireless interface), but when the kernel was updated and pushed through in the ubuntu updates to 2.26.32-22 the wireless card won't stay connected and iwconfig says wlan0 is the interface. I checked the proprietary drivers and they said that the driver for my card was active, but not in use. How do I use the ra0 instead of wlan0?
how do i use the driver that's listed as not being used? I'm having to boot up lucid with the older kernel now, it's annoying, lots of programs aren't running as expected as a result. I've tried manually installing the driver from the RaLink website as detailed in many other posts concerning this wireless card. It seems to work for some people, but not with me.

Slackware :: Configure System To Start Wlan0 Instead Of Eth0?
Nov 29, 2010I'm running Slackware-13.1 on my laptop. Connection to my network is via wlan0, a cable in most cases not pluged in.When starting the system the first attempt to configure the network is via eth0, which ends with dhcpcd timing out since there is no cable pluged in. Afterwards wlan0 is set up properly.
I have installed ifplugd, which is a daemon who connects to ethernet only if a cable is connected. With Gentoo this works out of the box. With Slackware ifplugd is started after rc.inet1 (probably). So the the system still tries to connect via ethernet before connecting to the wireless network.
I have also installed wicd.How can I manage that wlan0 is prefered over eth0?I noticed that neither wicd nor ifplugd belong to the default full installation of Slackware and therefore assume, there must be a solution which meets my requirements without even one of both programs.The laptop is only used at home. Wireless connection is normaly used. I need eth0 only in a case of emergency.
Networking :: Configure PC For Wired/static And Wired/DHCP Networks ?
Oct 27, 2010I want my netbook to connect automatically to both the office wired/static network and to the usual wired/DHCP networks.
wicd is wicked but netsearching hasn't revealed how to configure it for both wired/static and wired/DHCP except by manually switching profiles.
wicd's profiles can use pre/post(dis)connect scripts but I don't know how to integrate them into wicd when they are upping/downing connections on cable (un)plugging.
If it is not practical to solve this within wicd, I'll explore standalone scripts to configure eth0 on cable (un)plugging, as detected by ifplugd.

Aug 30, 2010today I tried to configure a network route to a host for testing my network interface. Code: route add 192.168.1.15 eth0 As I have to eth interfaces and both interface got their IP from DHCP (192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.12) and are in the same subnet, I shut the other interface down:
Code: ifconfig eth1 down Then I tried to test the interface by doing a ping to 192.168.1.15.
Problem: When I unplug the cable from eth0 (and eth1 is still plugged) the ping still works. Somehow my linux (it's debian) powers up again eth0 and pings over this port.
How can I stop my linux doing this. I just want to have the route added only on the one interface - not the other. Is it maybe some case of a default-gateway?
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Realtek NIC Installation - Unable To Configure The Network Card Because Kernel Device (eth0, Wlan0) Is Not Present

This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details. Couldn't find any mention of the card in dmesg's output, (though the 8139 onboard card is in there) there is some stuff about pci host bridge but I don't know whether they would be relevant or not
