Ubuntu Networking :: Getting Driver For IFox HSPA 820 AirCard?
Jun 1, 2010
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
On google there is no information. Opensuse does not know anything about this chip. On that stick is a driver for Win 7 64 and a linux driver for debian. I shall " dial up" with an analog modem to get into the internet. All at the console over ppp and comands like pon and poff. there is no networkmanager. The web `n walk stick and its label is Fusion II. Perhaps anybody has similar problems.
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.
I 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 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 have a Huawei E122 Mobile Broadband HSPA USB Stick on three ireland. i can't get it to connect. but i think the problem might be, when i stick it in nothing happens. it doesn't show up under lsusb. i don't think it "mounts"
I upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 and with great disappointment I discovered that my HSPA modem, that worked out of the box under 11.2, work no more. At the first attempt NetworkManager is able to build the connection, I am able to use Yast to download new packages and online updating but at the first use of firefox the internet connection hangs up. Any attempt to disconnecting/reconnceting the usb stick gives the following error in the kernel echo:
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.
Using 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.
It has been haunting me for weeks and I haven't been able to fix it so far: When I installed the wireless driver 43XX series on my laptop using a wired internet, I saw the wireless network for a while and after I rebooted my system, My kernel(31) got corrupted and I got error "kernel Panic (and some sync error)",Thus I started using an older kernel(14),Now When I install wireless driver or mobile broadband driver(wvdial), they get vanished after the reboot and my mobile device modem isn't detected.But they are installed in my system(as shown by synaptic package manager but doesn't seemt to work) I desperately want to use mobile broadband.
How To: Uninstall/Remove Old Wireless Driver to make way for New Driver (RTL8191SE)?
Here's the new driver:
I have been having trouble with my wireless connection intermittently disconnecting and reconnecting repeatedly (sometimes every couple of seconds). I posted a thread about this here on Ubuntu Forums titled: Ubuntu 10.45 & NetworkManager Applet 8.0: Connects & Disconnects Frequently.
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 have Centos5.4 loaded on a late 2008 MACBOOK Pro and would like to get wireless working. I've attempted to download the broadcom driver and create a driver module with no luck.
i had a suffer installing broadcom b43 or the brodcom STA driver i ended with STA in Hardware drivers i installed it and it's activated but not in use and i still have no wireless connection i'm on ubuntu 9.10
I've recently installed the new LTS, but my wireless doesn't work on it. Since my adaptor works on my machine under 9.10, I can only assume this is down to a lack of driver for my adaptor within 10.04.
Would it be feasible to find the driver within the 9.10 system for my adaptor and install it onto my 10.04 system? If it is, fantastic! How would I go about doing such a thing?
It's my first time trying out a Linux and everything is going great except for my networking. I just recently purchased a wireless usb adapter 802.11n and I tried to install the driver from the cd it came with, but when I read the readme file it said it only supports up to kernel versions 2.6.18 ~ 2.6.29. Since I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 my kernel type is 2.6.32.25. Does anyone know if there are any updated versions of similar drivers online? or do I have to return this wireless adapter and get a different one?
I have a Realtek nic in my laptop. When i look at additional drivers it says the driver is active but not in use. How do i make it use this driver and always use this driver?
Im using HP mini with Broadcom wireless chipset. Currently STA drivers are installed and working, however i want to install alternative wireless driver (b43-fwcutter) to be able to enter monitor mode (which this driver is capable of) for using it in wireshark and kismet.
Now, jockey-gtk isn't listing it although i installed it using 'sudo apt-get install b43-ffwcutter'. Why is that?
here is the output of sudo jockey-gtk -l kmod:wl - Broadcom STA wireless driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use)
i also tried sudo jockey-gtk -u (for updating driver databse but got same query)
I have a Netgear WNA-1000 that I can't get recognized on any of my Ubuntu boxes (8.10, 9.04, 9.10). This page says that it should work with the ar9170usb driver, and that this driver is already part of the mainline Linux kernel as of 2.6.30. It also noted that ar9170usb does not claim this device's USB-ID at this time.
How do I (a) get this driver to recognize and work with my WNA-1000 under 9.10?
(b) get this driver installed and working under the older versions of Ubuntu that I also have?
I used the System -> Administration -> Hardware Driver and found 2 drivers. I have tried them both to connect to my D-Link Router. Neither of which worked.
For Broadcom B43 Driver, the wireless is able to detect wireless networks. However, it fails to establish connection.
For Broadcom STA Driver, the wireless cannot even detect wireless networks available.
What is the issue here and how do I resolve it so that I am able to connect onto the internet wirelessly?
I have bean trying to uzip and install the ndiswrappper driver for my Atheros AR5212/AR5213, well first I can not finde the driver on line, secondly I have tried to unzip the driver from the CD that came with Atheros AR5212/5213 that did not work "WDA2320.exe"plus the ndiswrapper help files are not explanatory enough for the different scenarios, thirdly I installed the ndiswrapper interface that installs on the desk top, that worked for a while then stopped altogether, I have bean working on this ,on and off for about a year,my O/S is Debian Lenny Betta -2- i386 I have attached a document coled Atheros doc pertaining to the hard ware in my P/C
I'm having problems with (no surprise) my Broadcom BCM4322 Network Adapter after a clean install of 9.10. I am just about tearing my hair out.
1. I downloaded Broadcom's provided Linux drivers. No joy.
2. I installed first the STA package, then b43-fwcutter. No joy.
3. I installed NDISwrapper, but cannot find the .inf file I need. Anyone? I dual boot with Vista, so I went into my Windows system and pulled a .inf file from the driver files there (bcmwl6.inf), but NDISwrapper said it was not valid. I have looked all over the web for a .inf driver file for this chipset but cannot seem to find anything (all I can find is .exe files).
I have the source code to create a wireless driver. This came with the cd for my adapter but i dont know what to do. btw while i'm in ubuntu i will not have a wired conection to the net seeing as my routers down stairs and i dont have a cable long enough to reach
Need to install b43 driver to use monitor mode on my card - versions are compatible, I ran Code: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter As told, but instructions end there. Pressed yes to download and extract firmware. Do I need to activate this driver somehow?
Info on wireless card: Code: tnt@Artemis:~$ lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01) Broadcom STA driver is activated in the hardware drivers manager.
Basically today (1st of june) about 1.30pm my computer updated. I was on facebook at the time and was commenting on a post but didn't click "Send message". My computer went onto screensaver, So I unlocked my computer to find my keyboard wasn't working (But it was ok on the password lock). I then thought that restarting my computer might help the keyboard to work. I restarted my computer and as it turned on, my wireless icon had an exclamation mark next to it ("!") I clicked on the icon to find that only "Wired network" was only displayed, Before the restart "Wireless network" was there but it had disappeared. I've looked into it, and it looks like my wireless driver has been unistalled by the most recent update on Ubuntu. As far as I remember the wireless driver was Broadcom for a hp pavillion zd8000.
