Debian Configuration :: Connecting To Hidden SSID Over WPA2
Jan 24, 2016I've been searching and trying to correct this problem for nigh on 12 hours. I would like to note that I know that hidden SSID are not necessarily much more secure. I have no permission to change the settings where I am. I'm running Debian Jessie. I have no way to get the server a connection other than the WiFi dongle I'm using. I have installed the correct WPA_Supplicant and Wireless Tools for my architecture/distro/version. I also have solved a sub-problem I had earlier; that the drivers for my WiFi dongle come with the kernel, but the firmware does not. That was remedied.
I can see my SSID in my iwlist scan. (iwlist scan | grep ESSID). My current /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:
Code: Select allauto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
My current /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this:
Code: Select allnetwork={
ssid="hundley_1"
psk=HashedPSK
scan_ssid=1
}
The original .conf was created by using wpa_passphrase "hundley_1" PASSWORD >
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf I know for a fact that the security key is correct. I edited the .conf produced to what it is now.
Usign ifup wlan0 and ifdown wlan0 to start and restart the connection yields an error. The gist of the error is:
NO DHCPOFFERS recieved

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Can't Connect To Hidden Network
Apr 26, 2010I just wanted to share how I got my wireless network working after spending several hours doing it wrong. It might be helpful to others.My wireless router is set up as a "hidden network". That is, it doesn't broadcast the SSID to prevent hackers. My laptop connected fine under Windows, but not Ubuntu.Lots of posts told me to do stuff in the Network Manager. I tried, but I couldn't find the right settings. It turns out there are *TWO* different programs that control the network settings. I was using the wrong one.
To get to one of them you go to System/Preferences/Network Connections. This program is *NOT* Network Manager. Whatever I tried to set up in this program, I could not get a working connection. The other program, the *REAL* Network Manager, is a different program altogether. You get to it by clicking the network icon at the top right corner of the screen. The problem is you can barely see it if the network is not working. When the network is down, all you can see is a tiny greyed out triangle. That's the thing you have to click. After I clicked this and followed the steps under "Connect to a hidden network".

I know the physical location of the SSH folder can be traced into Home folder -> .gvfs (it is a hidden folder). However I want the SSH folder to be easily accessible on the file system. Something very similar to "Expand Drive" or "SFTP drive" in windows.

Ubuntu Networking :: Check If Wifi Is Really Hidden
Dec 1, 2010I just have a wifi network that I want to be hidden. I configured my router so to hide my SSID and as I had the settings for my wireless I can connect at it with no problem. I just would like to know if there is a way to check that my wlan is really not visible to other users. If i type Quote: sudo iwlist scan in my terminal I can still see it. How can I check if the "hidden" setting is working or not?

Apr 8, 2010When I click on the 'connect to hidden wireless network' I get a pop up window. All boxes are selectable with 'new' as the connection. If I click on that drop down and select my ESSID, all the boxes, including the 'connect' box are greyed out. If I enter new network name and the security I can get a connection. If I put down my original ESSID down as the new network name, it works, but if I then look at network preferences, I have two wireless connections with the same name.

May 8, 2010My network has SSID broadcast turned off, it took me several attempts before the crappy ubuntu network manager figured out that I want to connect to that network automatically.
Yesterday my laptop ran out of battery and entered on hibernation. Now, the crappy network manager can not connect to the network anymore. I tried everything. I restarted, I removed the connection from the list. But after asking to connect to the network, and enter the SSID and the WEP key, it simply won't connect.
The worst part is when I tried to load a pre-defined configuration using "Edit Connections", It displays the connection name, but the "Connect" button is disable.
Is there any way to connect to this hidden network? Or it is not supported.
Ubuntu Networking :: Lucid Won't Connect Automatically To Hidden Wi-Fi APs?
Jun 29, 2010I've seen other users post this same issue, but can't find anyone who has been able to solve this problem...
I have SSID broadcasts turned off on my wireless router (always a good choice for increased security). Even though I have put a check mark on "Connect Automatically" in my wireless network's configuration under SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > NETWORK CONNECTIONS, it will not connect automatically. I have to click on the network manager icon in the notification area of my desktop, and select "CONNECT TO HIDDEN WIRELESS NETWORK" in order to get online. Network manager does indeed connect automatically to APs that broadcast their SSID. (I don't want to enable SSID broadcasts on my router.)
Ubuntu Networking :: Cannot Connect To Hidden Networks On Eee PC 1015PEM?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Unable To Decode Hidden ESSID?
Sep 1, 2011Running BT5, aircrack-ng v. 1.1, Alfa AWUS036NH.
My curiosity has been aroused by a local AP that is not transmitting an ESSID. It also is neither transmitting beacon frames nor data.
The channel shows a negative one, as does the power. Facts:
1. I know this AP is nearby because, before they hid the ESSID, the power output was fairly high.
2. Airodump-ng shows -1 channel, -1 power, and a hidden ESSID, although the BSSID is visible. Neither the channel nor the encryption scheme are being transmitted.
3. Neither beacons nor data are being sent. I can determine the correct name of the ESSID from the probe field in airodump-ng
but that is all.
4. All attempts in aireplay-ng to dissociate the client fail with the message that "No such BSSID" is found!?
5. Kismet, on the other hand, does not even see the AP.
6. Loading the .cap file in Wireshark reveals no information about those packets for which the source, or dest, is the AP.
Fedora Networking :: Hidden WPA Password Prompt ?
Nov 8, 2010Has anyone else encountered the really irritating issue of a hidden WPA network not auto connecting, and prompting for the root password when you manually select 'Connect to hidden wireless network'?
It works fine if I enable broadcasting of SSID but a proviso of my broadband is to keep this disabled. Ubuntu does it without any issue, can't figure out why it won't work on FC14.
Fedora Networking :: F15 Hidden Wireless Network?
Jun 12, 2011After installing Fedora 15 on my notebook, I found that the one thing that I am unable to do is connect to a hidden encrypted wireless network automatically. I've seen plenty of people inquiring about this online but have found no solution. I can set up whatever I want to in my settings (using the old gnome2 interface setup, the gnome3 interface setup leaves the wireless options unconfigurable for some reason so I can't do anything with the "Network Name" dropdown)
All of my settings have been set up using the network manager from gnome2, but that doesn't seem to translate to my gnome3 desktop. So, is there any way to get the wireless to connect automatically on startup? I know my wireless card is working when I start my computer because it shows some of the networks in the area and I can connect to a few of the unprotected networks. This is the only problem I have with gnome3.
EDIT: from dmesg, I find the following: [485.63] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
EDIT #2: Going into the network settings just to play around with it, I discovered that the network name dropdown box appears to be grayed out, but now it works when I click it (didn't the first time) -- this allowed me to connect to my hidden wireless network. Still however, it does not connect automatically (system default is the hidden wireless network) and I still have the DNS problem

Feb 27, 2011I have a CentOS 5.5 server running currently with a Netgear gigabit ethernet card and for wifi I have a wi-fi card with the chipset: RT2860.Now I have gotten the ethernet card and wi-fi card working but my main question is: How do you bridge the connection between the ethernet card and the wi-fi card to create a wireless network with a hidden ESSID if possible and WPA encryption? (So the server basically acts as a wireless router as well as doing all the other stuff I need to do on it).

Jan 16, 2011I just want to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to connect to the internet. I have done a massive amount of troubleshooting, but some of it seems to contradict itself, and the only two things that I know for sure are that it used to work, and that my Ethernet cable is not the problem. When I use Terminal utilities like ifup and dhclient it seems that it can not determine IP information, but when I try to put it in manually, the "Apply" button grays out right after I finish typing it in. When I try to connect normally, in KDE or GNOME, the icon acts like it's connecting, then instead of having the connected icon, I receive a notification that "the network has been disconnected", and it goes back to the disconnected icon.
Oh, and by the way, I know that I could probably find a workaround, but I have limited resources, and this used to work. The Linux is a Dell desktop with Fedora 12 and the Windows is a Windows 7 HP laptop.EDIT: I hope that I didn't mess something up, but I accidentally used system-network-config to try putting in the IP address there, and ended up changing it back to the original settings, but the computer is now calling it Auto Ethernet in the taskbar icon, although sudo iwconfig in the terminal still calls it eth0.

Feb 5, 2010I have often connected to my machine's remotely through ssh. Today I noticed that when I connect, the "last login" IP seems a little weird to me. I'm on my home network, so I connect directly with the IP of the computer within the router. But after the IP I get this XXX.XX.X.XXX.dedicated.neoviatelecom.com.br What is the neoviatelecom part? Is that normal? I don't remember ever seeing that there before. If I connect a couple of times from my win7 laptop (through cygwin) I get the correct IP address, but followed with the other part. If I connect with my other desktop (running Karmi 9.10) I get the same neoviatelecom thing as above.

Mar 28, 2010I recently installed the latest version of Kubuntu in a dual boot system with Windows XP on a Dell laptop. The dell laptop has a broadcom wireless device, and I was able to set up the driver and get wireless working. Then I booted into windows XP to make a whole bunch of updates/driver installations, and when I booted back into Kubuntu it would not connect to the wireless network. I am pretty sure the device is still active, because it picks up on the wireless networks in the area. But KWallet does not open to ask for my password on booting. Something is not set right, but I can't tell what.
