Fedora Networking :: Getting Wireless Connection From Command Line?

Jun 16, 2011

I'm new here but have been using different distros for a couple of years. I ran into this problem like a year ago for the first time and I really would like to solve this ( with your help now). I've already used hours trying to figure this out and seeked solutions online. So first things first:

- I want to connect to a wireless access point from CLI (for many different reasons)
- I'm using Fedora 13 with KDE and Gnome some specs:

Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) Kernel driver in use: iwl3945 Kernel modules: iwl3945

General :: Can't Launch GUI From Command Line

Feb 22, 2010

I typed in sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it tells me it's already installed. Good. So it should work. I type sudo/etc/init.d/gdm start and the screen goes blank for 8 seconds three times in a row and then back to the command line. I have also tried gdm start without the path before and it says GDM already running. Aborting! I have 8.10 and it's a valid disk (no errors).

I have attempted to connect with the router but I can't get any connection.I know the password is: ########## (10 digits long) but for the life of me I can't get it to work via command line.

Networking :: Command Line To Run Tools For Wireless In Ubuntu?

Jan 17, 2011

I want to run OpenBox on a netbook. For those of you not familiar, it is a very simple window manager, where I can launch a terminal with a mouse click, and I can start the few apps that I need from the command line. Basically, I am trading eye candy and easy access to a lot of stuff I don't need for a more responsive GUI.

My question is...what package should I install, and what corresponding command line would be used to launch a tool to manage the wireless LAN connection?

Fedora Networking :: Make The Ethernet Connection By Hand In The Command Line Mode?

Apr 12, 2010

The GUI for network configuration of Fedora is marvellous such that the configuration is almost fool-proof. But how can I make the connection by hand in the command line mode? It goes okay except the very last step. When I disconnect the eth0 interface from the right-hand side of the desktop GUI, I tested how to bring it back by command line but I failed. When disconnected, the ifconfig still shows the eth0 interface, with just the ip address portion changed.

I tried "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.xx" to give it an ip address but the connection is still down even if the ifconfig shows an ip address for the eth0 interface. Then I tried "/etc/init.d/network restart" and "ifup eth0" and also "route add defaut gw 192.168.1.1" but none of these could accomplish the same work as a single click on the GUI to connect. I am very curious about how to do it in the terminal.

Ubuntu Networking :: USB Wireless USB Modem From The Command Line Termianl Only?

May 14, 2010

Without Gdm (The GUI Desktop running), or an Internet connection, how does One get pppd or wvdial to connect to a wireless broadband modem?I'm SURE this can be done with any modern Distro without additional downloads...but seem to be missing some crucial step...? I've been trying things like: (scrips for pppd and chat and ln {links} ttyACM0 to /dev/modem?) the modem is definitely on ttyACM0.

ln -sf /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/modem

Ubuntu Networking :: Error Connecting To Wireless Via Command Line

Apr 6, 2011

I've been familiarizing myself with the command line and am attempting to connect to a wireless network but am getting stuck at the point wherein I need to put in a password.When I run iwconfig I see my card is wlan0.I definitely know my password as I can connect using a GUI. The encryption method for my network is WPA2.Could someone tell me how I could connect to a WPA2 secured network via a command line, and/or where I went wrong with what I've been trying?

Ubuntu Networking :: Get Wireless WPA2 Working With Command Line Only?

Jul 6, 2011

I wanted to run a little media server in my house, shared with my laptop only, so I could free up space on my laptop drive. I took one of my Linux boxes out of my render farm and loaded up a minimal install, command line only of Ubuntu Lucid from the mini ISO (32 bit). I had to plug in a lan cable to install, but I wanted to move my box back out to the "farm" that doesn't have wired access to my intranet.

After much research, trial and error, this is what worked for me. My wireless card uses an Atheros AR5001X+ chip, and it works with the desktop cd out of the box. I found the "just works" desktop install uses the ath5k driver that is now included in Lucid, but I'm not using a desktop or window manager. I haven't tried this on server version, if you do, let others know what you had to install to get it to work.

The things I do tell you about, I instruct you as if you are a newbie, however I have left out some things that users should know or be able to lookup easily, like if you want a static address instead of using dhcp. You may not need all of the steps or you may have to do more research and troubleshooting.

Find your wireless card (you may need to lookup what to do if it is not recognized at all)List all pci devices, only show network devices (-v verbose, -vv very verbose): >>lspci -vv | grep Network List all hardware (| less lets you pause at each page - arrow keys, page down/up to navigate, q to quit) >>lshw | less

Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Up The Wireless Interface On Server (command-line Only No GUI) / WPA

Aug 14, 2010

I've been having issues setting up the wireless interface on my Ubuntu server (command-line only, no GUI) and I can't seem to get it working. It seems as though the card is recognized, the drivers are installed and the interface is up, but it fails to connect. I have no idea where I'm going wrong. I have WPA and a MAC filtering setup on my wireless router. An exception has been made for this PC's MAC address and I've manually entered the connection details into /etc/network/interfaces.

Fedora Networking :: Connect To The Wireless Network Via Command Line?

Jul 10, 2009

I am fairly familiar with Linux but had never ventured into Wlan settings / options / too much. I have compatible card (aetheros) and when running - iwlist wlan0 scanning - I get plenty networks showing up - meaning the card works. When I installed distro which is last night (before I ran update), I had that little bars menu at the top of the screen that showed available networks once clicked upon. Since I like to modify and make my settings better - I removed that little AT&T like bar, and now rebooted after update to find that I can not see available networks unless I use iwliset wlan0 scanning.... .#$*&)@&#(&%# - need I say more.

Two questions - how do you connect to the wireless network via command line? What is that vertical bars GUI tool called so I can find it and run it again? Is there (for the love of god) alternative to system-config-network GUI managment tool for wlan?

CentOS 5 Networking :: How To Create Wireless Network From Command Line With Hidden ESSID

Feb 27, 2011

I 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).

Networking :: Wireless Connection Works But Doesn't Show In Iwconfig Command

Mar 21, 2010

Ubuntu 9.04 with working wlan. I had to restart router & wap. It doesn't seem to ever retry to connect. I know my router & wap are good, I have wireless working on other laptop (running Puppy) I had to go into 'edit connections' in drop down and use 'wireless' tab then edit 'wireless connection 1' and hit 'apply' is there a better way to do this? also, no connections show up with command 'iwconfig' edit: with ifconfig, eth1 si showing data my ip address and packets sent & rcvd. I think I'll try do duplicate this event and use 'ifconfig eth1 down' and then up again to see if it reconnects.

Fedora Networking :: Command Line For Wireless USB Adapter - "out Of The Box" For FC10

Feb 15, 2009

I have an older laptop on which I have installed Fedora Core 10 (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686). I am using a Retail Plus Mini Wireless USB Adapter. I have scanned this forum and someone mentioned that support for this adapter should come "out of the box" for FC10. I have a fair amount of experience with Linux command line configuration but am by no means an expert. I have absolutely no experience, however, with wireless.

NB that via iwconfig I get the output below which is giving information about my (currently for now unencrypted) SSID called "activity_logged". Pardon my ignorance but wouldn't this mean that I have wireless enabled and if so how does one access it through the command line? I would also eventually like to go back to encrypted status and access that via command line.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless - Lost It - 'wmaster0 No Wireless Extensions', But Then Refers To Wlan0 As The Wireless Connection

Mar 28, 2010

A friend who switched ISP's gave me his old Linksys WRT54-G wireless router. I went through the installation procedure and had a wireless connection up and running - smiley face. I had security set up for WPA, and decided to upgrade it to WPA2. Another smiley face. When I went to connect (had already done so successfully), I noticed it referred to my wireless as Linksys - I was expecting to see the SSID. So I started playing around in Network Manager and now I have things all effed up.

Don't know exactly what I did, but now I have no wireless. So I ran a few commands (lshw -C network, iwconfig, ifconfig, and iwlist scan), and looking at the results I see what appear to be inconsistencies in the output. I've posted them below, and make the following observations:

1. Under the lshw it refers to my wireless connection logical name as wmaster0, and has the correct MAC address, etc.

2. Under the iwconfig it says, 'wmaster0 no wireless extensions', but then refers to wlan0 as the wireless connection (although it does not seem to be running).

3. Under ifconfig I see both a wlan0 and a wlan0:avahi. The wlan0 has no IP, the wlan0:avahi does, but it is incorrect.
