Ubuntu Networking :: Restarting The System / Wifi Conections Aren't Able To Be Detected?
Jan 3, 2011
I have a problem with my BROADCOM BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN... I made a clean installation of Maverick Meerkat and everything runs perfect except the card drivers... then I investigated almost a week on the net and finally the problem was solved (I made the installation of some drivers on Synaptics tool, then I wrote some codes on the Terminal to activate the light to turn it blue and the Wi-Fi IS ON AND WORKS!).
I thought everything was ok, but when I restarted the laptop, the wifi conections aren't able to be detected so I must re-install the card driver to get it active again :S. I really don't know why the card drivers works only when I install them, because restarting the system make them simply don't work.
I read something about changing my user's state (it was 'personalized') to 'administrator', but nothing happened.I searched on Ubuntu's web but nothing works.It's a Compaq Presario V3000.
My reality distortion field went through a polarity shift today, and nothing's been working like it should. After the 10,000th problem, I decided to just make room for a fresh lucid install and the accompanying stability. It worked well, then I had some sort of a boot error upon reboot. So then I just decided to reinstall. The problem is that neither of my 2 internal HDDs is registering. Currently sda is an 80GB drive with a slackware install, sdb is a 120GB with a 60GB mint partition and (upon previous install) 60GB lucid partition. I've got no important data on any of my partitions yet, but also no net connection. I have install dvds for lucid, mint kde 9, and slackware plus a gparted live. I'm seriously considering making this machine a slack standalone, but then I've got legacy nvidia drivers to deal with.
just installed ubuntu 10.04 and the wifi networks are not detected as in 9.10.In 9.10 installing bcm-wl helped me.. but here the pacakage does not even install succesfully....i have installed b43..
I just installed ubuntu 9.10 in my freinds laptop and it has a realtek 81878 wireless card...it detects the wireless networks but when i connect it just keeps on asking for the authentication key again and again.
I just installed ubuntu (latest version). Everything worked except when i plug the wifi adapter to the computer nothing happens... It wont show up for wireless network... What do i do? This adapter works great on xp, and its a ralink wifi adapter. I dont know which model version i have though because i bought it new on ebay and it never said model info... I also have a netgear wg111t, how would i get this to work as well?
I just installed Fedora 14 i386, and Fedora can see the wireless network just fine. I try to connect and nothing happens. It asks for the PSK constantly (yes, I promise I'm entering it correctly), even after I enter it correctly (I guarantee). I've searched around here a bit, but due to my limited knowledge in linux system I can't figure it out
1. Code: lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1737:0071 Linksys WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter
2. Code: iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. [Code]....
I have just installed the last FC distro, and everything works good, except the wireless network.I have a Linksys N-Ultra WirelessN USB wifi card, model WUSB600N.It uses the rt2x00 driver, concretely the rt2870 driver (at least, thats the driver included in the original device drivers CD).Right now, the problem is that i don't know how to make my Fedora 12 to enable and/or connect to internet.
dmesg | tail usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Cisco-Linksys LLC usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
I have just installed Fedora 14 on my desktop machine and have just discovered that it can't detect my WiFi card. The card is an Edimax EW-7711In which the makers say will run with Linux. I know that the card works fine with Ubuntu because my brother uses the same card in his Ubuntu machine but he is away until after Christmas so I don't know what he did to make it work other than I know he used ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers that were supplied with the card. I have looked for ndiswrapper in the Fedora repositories but it doesn't appear to be there.
I've recently salvaged a computer I found gathering dust in the basement and decided I'll have it running on Fedora (I have a summer studentship coming up that needs Linux use so I thought I'd best start learning!). Following a clean install, Fedora can see the wireless network just fine. I try to connect and nothing happens. Half of the time it will ask for the PSK (yes, I promise I'm entering it correctly) and the other half of the time it will just stop. When it does ask for the PSK I enter it (correctly) and it will ask me again... and again.

I have just started to work on Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.4 LTS) and I am having some problems to get a WUSB600N vers. 2 802.11n adapter working. I have followed the procedure described at [URL] . The compilation has been successful and I can see the kernel loaded an the module detected:

The wireless adapter is detected by the system and it can scan the neighboring APs (cf. below with MAC address made unreadable):
I have installed the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (11.04) into latest VMware workstation (7.1.4 build-385536). I have tried to install the VMware tools ISO that came with VMware workstation but It didn't work and the installation seemed real sloppy anyways.
I installed the open VMware tools from synaptic within the guest linux and restarted, everything seemed to have been installed just fine but VMware Workstation doesn't detect it. I'm not sure if the tools are outdated, silent errors happened, or if any manual post installation steps need to be taken.
getting any form of VMware tools to run in Linux and detected by VMware Workstation.
I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal on a External HDD (320GB Samsung S2). Worked like a charm. Bit slow to boot up and load programs, but after a while, works great. I installed it on the external HDD for one purpose: Work anywhere with Ubuntu, no matter which computer I use. I was thinking that was impossible, but I've tested thru several platforms (3 Notebooks, 2 netbooks, all Intel and one AMD Desktop). All worked flawlessly (32 Bits PAE activated and no matter how many cores are active, just works), BUT the themes.For no apparent reason, themes works on the computer I've installed Ubuntu on the HDD. It has his own Internal HDD with Windows 7 and two NTFS partitions.
Themes are stuck to the default boring-white from Gnome. I can only change the window controls. Compiz works, Wireless works, video works, sound works, filesystem works, system works - themes fail. Feels like I've hit my feet's little finger on a chair. P.S.: Ext. HDD is partitioned like this: 300GB FAT32 (it's my pop's HDD, he wants it this way), 18GB EXT4, 2GB Swap.
I`d like to find out how to restart USB ports without restarting whole system?I googled some but solutions mentioned were refering to some modules that are not present on F14.
fairly new to linux and tried Slack as a way to force myself to learn. I am running current and when i issue the reboot command it will hang on "Restarting system". If i use the shutdown -r now command it will reboot fine. Any ideas?
i'm trying to run a server for a game, that requires a few ports open (*since i connect to the internet with a router); for example one of the ports that needs to be open is "8888". But i tryed opening it thru my router localhost and it doesn't work (d-link DIR-400), so i was thinking if there's any way to open the ports of the router directly from Ubuntu; maybe console or program?for example for windows there's (Smart Port-fowarding) wich opens the ports you want without goint thru the router page.
I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 and everything went OK. It also found Wireless Networks. I am connecting to the same I do on Windows 7(yes dual boot).It asks for WEP, I put it and says Connection Established. But, when I open up Firefox to navigate to Google, it waits for 20 seconds and after that it pops an error that it couldn't establish a connection.
I have upgraded my laptop to OpenSuse 11.2 few weeks ago. It was fine until last Tuesday, when a system crash occurred during a kernel security update. I think something went wrong with my network connection. I was working on my code and suddenly I lost my base tools such as /bin/ls and /bin/cd. So I tried to restart and got a kernel panic as my kernel was partially broken.
I tried rescue the system, however it did not work. After that I thought I could fix it by reinstalling the OS with minimal server configuration over my existing root partition. (Since I didnt have any other computer or live cd at that time and I was rushing for a demo, I could not reinstall the missing components one by one. And reinstalling the minimal server made sense then )Almost everything went fine ( i needed to do little things like creating gdm user). Now I can use my system and all my applications. But as expected, the pre installed packages in my system now cannot be seen by YaST Software Manager. Is there a way to repopulate the package list?
Another question is, I cannot restart the computer from a Gnome session. Whenever I restart or shutdown, i go back to the login screen, then I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 which starts the restart progress. How can I fix this?
I'm having a problem with my wifi card: it is not detected by the network manager. I have tried going to the Hardware Drivers utility, but it doesn't find any proprietary hardware.I really am at a loss as to how to make Lucid "start over" with the wifi detection.I have installed Lucid using an existing /home, which was under 8.10. Maybe i just need to wipe out some configuration files to start afresh?
I have purchased Lenovo G460 laptop recently. I wanna use the linux so i installed fedora 13. The problem is internet is not connected through wifi. I browse several forums but failed. I am new to the Linux environment. code...
I have backtrack 4 on vmware player.i have intel (R) wifi 5100 agn wireless card and when i type airmon-ng there is nothing shown on interface..and i have been told i need kernel rebuild..i have kernel 2.6.30.9 so how can rebuild it?
I'm was trying to choose between GNOME and KDE for version 8. However both the live DVD's fail to pick up the Wifi card on my system. I am also unable to use certain basic commands such as ifconfig on the live CD. I am completely new to Linux and Debian (of course). Pardon me for the hand holding. This will be my first install of a Linux system.
What steps I can take to ensure that the Wifi card and the network card will be supported - hardware compatibility test maybe? Is there a way to try before installing? This will be a dualboot with Windows 8.1

I just bought a Belkin F7D2101 USB Wifi N dongle, it works great, but every time I start my computer, it's not detected. At least, my network applet shows no network adapter. I have to unplug and plug it back in on another USB port to get detected. Then, my network dmon automatically connects to my wifi network.
