Ubuntu Networking :: Find A Good PCMCIA Wireless Card?

Nov 1, 2010

Any opinions on which of the PCMCIA wireless cards work the best out of the box? I currently have a USB wireless adapter but want to get rid of it and use my PCI slot on the laptop. I am currently running lucid. I would rather not have to mess around with NDISWRAPPER again, something that has a native linux driver would be great.

Ubuntu Networking :: Ralink Wireless G Pcmcia Wifi Card

Mar 11, 2010

I just purchased a RALINK WIRELESS G PCMCIA WIFI CARD VISTA/LINUX (UBUNTU)‏.
It is supposed to be UBUNTU plug and play out of the box with no driver downloads needed.

I installed it but could not find a way to search the active Wi-Fi networks available like on my Actiontec card on windows xp. The wireless router/ethernet I have is an Actiontec setup for Qwest-DSL and Actiontec is the name of the wireless network.

Strangely I tried to choose setup a "new network" and entered Actiontec as the network name and it found the network and said it was connected to it. However the internet still is not working?

Ubuntu Networking :: D-Link Wireless WNA-1330 PCMCIA Card Failure

Oct 1, 2010

I had Ubuntu 8.04 and the D-Link Wireless WNA-1330 PCMCIA card worked just fine. I upgraded to 10.04 and it fails. I can see the network of wireless routers in my neighborhood, but when I try to connect on WEP 40/128bit with my hex key of my router, it tries to connect but can't get a DHCP address. I cannot ping the router in that state, of course. I have two other 10.04 laptops (with built-in wireless) and they connect just fine, as does a Windows Vista laptop. I also tried the pci=noapi item in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but that failed to show any results either. The card lights up like it should, and acts just like it did with 8.04 on the lights, but it doesn't connect. I end up seeing the "Enter your WEP password" dialog again and again unless I hit Cancel.

Fedora Networking :: Orinoco Silver PCMCIA Wifi Card Doesn't Find Any Networks In F11

Sep 21, 2009

I have Lucent Technologies Orinoco Silver 11 Mbps PCMCIA wifi card. It worked perfectly in Fedora 10, but after updating to Fedora 11 it stopped finding any wireless networks. The updating were done with automatic updating utility. The card works perfectly in Windows, I tested it today.

My laptop is HP nx6110 if that matters.

Here is the situation:

When I plug-out the card, the Network Manager disables wireless networking as it should. When I plug-in the card, wireless networking is enabled, so the system seems to recognize the card in some way.

If I try to connect to "Hidden wireless network" (because there isn't any wireless networks listed in the Network Manager) system tries to connect for a couple of minutes, and then asks wireless settings again. Orinoco card's lights DOESN'T blink normally when connecting to the network (one light should blink rapidly and one should light continuously, but both are blinking rarely or doesn't blink at all).

In System->Administration->Network in tab Hardware (hope those names are correct, I use Finnish version of Fedora...) is:

It seems that the card is detected right.

Here is what I have done to get the problem solved: In System->Administration->Network I have tried to connect to the wireless network manually (disabling the Network Manager). I can't get the connection. It gives me random error messages, sometimes "Check the cable" or something like that, sometimes just timeouts IP determination.

I have tried to connect different wireless networks, no connection. All tested networks worked with another computer.

No matter if I reboot or service network restart or plug-out plug-in the card... the problem still appears.

Tried to find (and reinstall) drivers:

Code:

No Matches found

Code:

Here is the output of lspci. The output is the same if the wifi card is connected or not.

Code:

LAN connection is working just fine.

I have got a netgear wireless PC Card WG511 made in Taiwan (not china). I have intalled it in windows w/acouple of ver. Settling on v1. I am first generation pc. maybe toold for Linux? I can't even figure out how to post in the Dam Small Linux website. But have read most of the posts in linux questions. I can't install a wireless card ;<( this is an old laptop and would be like usable if I get the *&^%$ wireless working. In fact, does anyone have a wireless card working with Dam Small Linux? I have the book but, it's not been much help. Other that telling me to add nodhcp in the boot startup. That didn't help either. I have learned alot through this misery of the wireless nic.

Networking :: Ubuntu 8.10 With Broadcom Chipset Pcmcia Card

Dec 18, 2010

some time ago I installed 8.10 on my x20 thinkpad. I at the time was trying to get it going on a Netgear WG511 v2 card. I was eventually successful in getting it going with ndiswrapper and all has been happy until...

I decided to give my laptop to an elderly friend for his first computer. He is living in a location where (for a variety of reasons) he is sharing a network connection to the internet with a few people. The protocol there WPA2 TKIP (IIRC) and no matter what the bloody thing won't connect. Here at home I run a different setup so its not a big deal

So, I thought I'd try another card to get it going there. I chose a "Aironet" card (badged a Dell 4800 LT) and tried to install this on 8.10

I expected it would install out of the box, but did not "seem to".

I followed the steps on this page, but still it won't connect to my WiFi at home (which I am using to connect to with this x31 thinkpad)

I am using Network Management Applet 0.70 and this works fine with the Netgear card, even showing all the local networks it finds.

When I plug in the Dell card it blinks the activity light and the status light in seemingly meaningful ways, but nothing seems to connect and I find nothing listed in the Network Applet.

I suspect that the OS is discovering the card as when doing an iwconfig I find two entries that would be that card:

eth1 and wifi0

iwlist scan returns:

which makes me think two interfaces are taking the same hardware...

iwconfig returns idential results for eth1 and wifi0

Fedora Networking :: Use A Dlink DWL-650 Pcmcia Card?

Jan 3, 2011

Older laptop I just upgraded to FC13. I would like to use a Dlink DWL-650 pcmcia card. The system sees it.

#iwlist wlan0 scanning
Cell 01, mac, chan, freq and everything else for my base router
Cell 02, same thing for my extender unit
ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:88:AA:AA:AC
inet6 addr: fe80::20d:88ff:feaa:aaac/64 Scope:Link

[Code]...

ifcfg-wlan0 is set for DHCP. Notice above no IP. If ifcfg is given an IP/mask still no IP. So it seems to be up and running, just not accessible.

Ubuntu Networking :: PnP PCMCIA Card For Dell Inspiron 8100 In 10.04?

Oct 14, 2010

I finally got around to trying Ubuntu 10.04 on a "decommissioned" Dell Inspiron 8100 1.2Ghz P3 512MB RAM 40GB HD... and Ubuntu is absolutely AMAZING compared to Windows! I'm a Mac guy and honestly Ubuntu gives 90% of the Mac OS GUI and 0% of the "brain damage" of WinBLOWS...

The only thing missing in this laptop is WiFi which I want to do via one of the PCMCIA slots since the mini-PCI is a combo 10/100 network + v.90 modem card... and I need to keep the Ethernet port and fax modem capabilities.

What are the best "Plug n Play" PCMCIA WiFi cards for our "G" and "N" WPA2 ONLY Airport Express WiFi network? I'm new to Linux so I'd really like to avoid editing and replacing system files and drivers if possible to get a PCMCIA card working. I'd also like a card that works in WinXP Pro SP3 since this laptop is dual boot capable.

CentOS 5 Networking :: Cant Get 3Com 3CCE589 PCMCIA Card To Work

Jun 24, 2010

I am trying to get an old IBM 600e to work with Centos 5.5. The install seems to have gone well but I am struggling to get any networking support. I am concentrating on a 3Com 3CCE589EC card which seems to be on the supported list. It works fine under Windows 2000 on the same computer so I believe the hardware is OK. When I insert it the following messages are shown in /var/log/messages:

pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registeing new device pcmcia0.0
0.0: RequestIRQ: Resource in use
0.0: RequestIRQ: Resource in use
0.0: RequestIRQ: Resource in use

Am I likely to have an easier time with a different card and if so which?

Fedora Networking :: Unable To Find Wireless Card

I have been running F13 since it came out, with the wireless working fine since I got it working (using the RPM Fusion repository, broadcom-wl-5.60.48.36-1.fc13). Since I updated software (without reading what was to be updated), yesterday, I am unable to even find wireless networks, although I am, as you can see, able to access through eth0 It is not a hardware problem, as I can not only find them, but access them on Ubuntu 9.10 live disc.

Slackware :: Good Wireless Card That Works With System Out Of Box?

Mar 7, 2011

I have an older laptop (Dell Inspiron 4100) on which I have installed a minimal Slackware system, and have just managed to get wireless working by using a Linksys Wireless-G card (WPC54GS) and installing the b43 packages from the SlackBuilds site.

Unfortunately, I am experiencing system freezes ... and if my Google searches are correct, these are related to the firmware driver (b43 stuff).

I wonder if anyone can recommend a good wireless card that works with Slackware out of the box ?

CentOS 5 Networking :: Find A Driver For Wireless Card (Atheros AR928X)?

Jan 5, 2010

I'm trying to find a driver for my wireless card (Atheros AR928X) and I think it's ath9k what I need. As far as I know there isn't a linux driver for it, so I installed ndiswrapper to use a windows driver instead. The problem is that when I type modprobe ndiswrapper I get "bash: modprobe: command not found" (even as root). I know I'm missing something about modprobe, but I can't find any help on google. Anyway, I installed ndisgtk next, because I thought it would be easier, but when I go to System> Administration> Windows Wireless Drivers I get a message "Unknown error".Do you have any ideas on how I'll make ndiswrapper work?

Fedora Networking :: Wireless - Harsh Packet Loss - Cannot Find Any Native AR5008 Drivers For My Card

I am recently trying to get a steady wireless connection running. I am currently using the default settings/driver Fedora 13 is stocked with.

Ubuntu Networking :: A Good Replacement WIFI Card For A Wind U90?

I LOVE Ubuntu,but the sketchiness with WIFI in Ubuntu is really frustrating (not that it's Ubuntu or GNU/Linux's fault necessarily). I'm trying to find a good WIFI card replacement for my girlfriend's MSI Wind u90, but seems both the Intel 3945abg and the Intel 4965agn - the cards usually recommended for that model - seem to be spotty at best in all recent versions of Ubuntu including the last long-term release.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: How To Configure PCMCIA Card

May 4, 2011

I have an old PCMCIA card and I would like to use in a newly installed centos5.6. I want to use, but I do not know how. ifconfig-a does not return the card details. I can see the pci devices both the controller and the PCMCIA card as well. I read, I have to load the kernel module yenta to use the pcimcia card, but I couldn't. The /sbin/modprobe -l | grep "yenta" does not return anything, and do not have either of these modules in library
(find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ | grep yenta)
How I can move forward welcome, or where should I start to search or indeed whether the card can support? How to config PCMCIA Card at CentOS5 now?
