General :: Wifi Device Isnt Working On Compaq Mini 110 - Mint 10

Mar 26, 2011

I am brand new to linux and i am finding it really frustrating cause i always thought i had quite a knack for computers. ive looked online and searched a bunch of stuff but because im so new to linux i am having a hard time even understand some of the stuff. i really want to get comfortable/fluent with linux and unix and what not.

My netbook model is HP Compaq Mini 110 the distribution i am using is Linux Mint 10

My broadcom wifi device isnt working or something.

When i first installed mint, it said that i needed non-free drivers?

The ethernet cable instantly gave me connection and i was able to run updates but the wifi still doesnt work i think the updates only updated the free ones and not the non-free ones cause i dont remember ever specifying to download the non free ones how do i manually specify to download all available updates?

I also typed:

The output says:

Also when i right click on the little network sign on the bottom right corner, then it says "Wireless Networks device not read (firmware missing)"

Ubuntu Networking :: USB Wifi Card Not Recognized?

Jul 13, 2010

i just thought the last few days about trying Ubuntu. so i did. i got a nice and fresh copy of Ubuntu Desktop version and installed it, everything worked great except my wireless usb 2.0 card. the only internet connection i have under windows is Wifi and i hoped that my dongle will be recognized by Ubuntu automatically...(naturally, it wasn't the case.)

so my adapter looks exactly like this one here, except for the color, it's white and it has my WISP's name written on it (i got it from them, along with a cd that offers win xp/98/me drivers...)

so even everest sees it's atheros and it's the Atheros AR5523 chipset.

i also have windows 7 64bit drivers if they help...

anyway, i can't get it to work and cannot access the internet any other way when on Ubuntu, so i have to use an already-saved driver..

Ubuntu Networking :: WiFi USB Not Recognized - No Internet Connection

Apr 21, 2010

I've been having 2 issues with my internet connection on ubuntu for as long as I can remember, I've tried updates but they haven't seemed to work so great and am pretty fed up with this. So I have a Netgear wg111t wireless usb dongle which I got working through ndiswrapper. The 2 issues I am having are:

1. After a random period of time my internet just decides to disconnect, the strange thing is the bars at the top still say I'm connected. The only way to get the internet working again is to turn the pc off and on. Another way I have experienced this happening is usually when I'm downloading something off a torrent.
2. After restarting my pc the wifi usb isn't recognised and I can't connect to the internet.

Ubuntu Networking :: USB WiFi Card Recognized, Not Installed?

Apr 1, 2011

so I had to reinstall Ubuntu.But now my Wireless card won't work. It used to work before (plug and play), and I have no problem with it when I boot from the CD.I cannot use my cable connection because as soon as I plug my computer in, the network crashes, the router doesn't respond, gets hot and refuses to work until I unplug it and let it cool off for 2 minutes.I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, Desktop PC.

Code:
:~$ lsusb

Ubuntu Networking :: Wifi Card Recognized No Signal

Jul 25, 2011

I have discovered the world of freewares not long ago and it surprised me! To go a bit further, I have installed Lubuntu 10.4 LTS on an old laptop: HP Pavilion zv5326 with 256 Mo RAM.

Everything works fine except the wifi.

iwconfig returns for wlan0:
IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"Livebox-afe5"
Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry Long Limit:7 RTS thrff Fragment thrff
Power Managementff

Ifconfig returns nothing for wlan0

From what I understand, my wifi card is recognized so I do not need to install a driver with ndiswrapper, right?

What should I do then? Is there a solution at all?

(Livebox-afe5 is the wifi connection I use with my other laptop.)

CentOS 5 Networking :: WiFi Card Configuration / DWA-110 Not Recognized

Feb 9, 2009

I have a problem to configure my wifi card, a dwa-110 from D-Link, it is not recognized when I launch System / network device control (only ethernet connections appear), and it is the same thing in Administration / network / network configuration. But if I launch administration / hardware / system devices, the last line is "Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN"... When I try to add in the window "network configuration" (from above) some new stuff, I specifying the kind of hardware (wireless) and when I have to enter the name of the card I don't see my card. On other OSes, I used ndiswrapper, but I wasn't able to install it on CentOS (dependencies required and it's hard with only a USB key to install the stuff...) How to see if the card is recognized, if I have to use ndiswrapper and so on. I have an internal PCI network card also, maybe it is this card which is recognized.

General :: Switching Between Windows Would Cause A Network Adapter To Stop Being Recognized?

Feb 15, 2011

I am using Linux and Windows 7 on the same machine and my on-board NIC is functional under both. However, the weirdest thing happens when I browse the internet under Linux and then return to Windows; my NIC stops being recognized! This happens under Windows but also in Linux when I return! This problem is then easily fixed by resetting the CMOS, but inevitably occurs again. Why does this happen? Update The CMOS reset works but is not necessary for me. Shutting down and unplugging the power cord works as well.

Ubuntu :: Firestarter: Switching From Wire To Wifi?

Jun 11, 2011

Ubuntu 10.10 Firestarter 1.0.3

My Desktop gets moved around a lot, meaning, I switch between Wire and Wifi often. I have been re-running the Firestarter wizard (when I remember to do so) each time I change from one mode of communication to another.

However, in Firestarter, on the STATUS page I can see both my wired connection and my wifi connection along with transfer data stats, despite which kind of Internet connection I have told Firestarter my computer is using.

Does this mean Firestater is actually protecting both routes and that I don't need to rerun the wizard to customize Firestarter for protecting the newest mode of communication I am using between these two different choices of Internet contact?

Ubuntu :: File Not Opening Have To Do With Switching Wifi Connections?

Aug 7, 2011

I saved the file when I was at my hotel as a .doc file, and it had 7 or 8 pages written. I forget the file size. I'm here at the airport now, and as I load this file up to work on it, it says it's 0 bytes. What the hell happened? I'm freaking out because I *need* those notes to write my paper. I didn't really make a dent but it was still a good amount of progress! Does the file not opening have to do with switching wifi connections?

OpenSUSE Network :: WiFi Adapter Does Not Seem To Be Recognized

Aug 11, 2011

I Have an HP Pavilion G6. I recently installed openSUSE after having no luck with another linux distribution. I was told openSUSE is more compatible with laptops, so I figured I'd give it a try. I am now facing the same problem I had been facing w/ the other distribution (Ubuntu). My Network Adapter doesn't seem to be recognized by any linux operating systems. It is a Ralink 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter. When I open the "network" tab, my home wifi is not listed, nor are any around me. In fact, I can't even open the "wireless" tab.

I've installed any recent drivers for my adapter, and I went to extensive lengths to try to solve the issue on my previous linux distribution. I don't know what output to give you from the terminal, nor do I really know any commands to look for anything. On a side note, I had been messing with my touchpad application, trying to set my preferences. I check the boxes for horiz. and vertic. scrolling with two fingers, and apply. They don't work. I check the boxes for using two finger tap to do something, and three finger tap to do something else.

Debian Hardware :: WiFi Card Not Recognized (Laptop HP 430 G2)

Sep 12, 2014

I'm a brand new user of Debian, and I just bought a (too much?) new laptop, the HP 430 G2. It seems to work great for almost everything, except that I don't have any wifi available.

I tried so many different things (without any success) that it would be hard to resume. But for now, all I have is a new installation (to avoid parasite installations of weird things), and a kernel updated to 3.16. I don't know if it's useful though...

Some information from my system :

Code: Select allbonyhoax@bonybook:~$ sudo ifconfig
[sudo] password for bonyhoax:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 14:58:d0:09:72:bd 
          inet adr:130.125.57.144  Bcast:130.125.57.255  Masque:255.255.255.0
          adr inet6: fe80::1658:d0ff:fe09:72bd/64 Scope:Lien
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:27329 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3491 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

[Code] .... 

The first element I notice is that I don't have the line with "Kernel driver in use...". Which seems to indicate that there's a problem with the kernel module (is that right?). But I don't know how to fix it...

The other thing that puzzles me with these last two commands is that according to this page, my wifi card is a Broadcom BCM43142. But it's not the result I get with the lspci command.

Anyway, I'm really lost, I don't know what to do, what to check, what to install. I don't want to go by random, testing all the different solutions I see on the web blindely. This is the reason why I ask it here.

Ubuntu :: Sound Was Working, But Now It Isnt?

Oct 21, 2010

I recently isntalled Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my HP Compaq Presario CQ42. Recently being around two to three weeks ago. The first day I had it I didnt have sound due to my alsa version not being updated to 1.0.23 (something like that, i just know .23 was the version i upgraded to) and then along with another fix this solved my audio problem. There were a few issues with the audio after that, such as vlc and other app sounds not working after playing audio in a browser, requiring (as far as i know) a restart every time. This wasnt a big deal and i was getting around to finding out how to fix it but then today...

While at school I closed my laptop lid (as i usually do), but when i opened it again the screen flicked back and forth between some screens that usually show at boot (not bios, something else). Then Ubuntu told me that it didnt detect any of my drivers and that i should start in low graphics mode, and i did, but i made sure to select the just for this session option. I think this may have happened because I was running on low bat at the time but i cant be sure. When i restarted it booted up normally, and graphics and everything were back to normal except...Since that happened my audio has not been working at all. The sound icon is still in the notification panel but there is nothing next to it, eg. volume level. Its not even "--" to indicate mute, there is just nothing there and when i got to sound preferences there is no device under hardware, and when i run the command aplay -l it says there is no sound card found.When i run the lspci -v | less command an audio device is clearly listed :00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1425 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at 94400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

Ubuntu Networking :: Stop Wifi Radio Killswitch From Disabling USB Wifi Device

My laptop has an internal wireless device and a button to turn it on/off, but since it has bad reception I use an external USB wireless adapter.The problem is that if I turn the internal wireless device off using the button, it also turns the USB wireless adapter off.Is there anyway to use the killswitch (the button) only for the internal wireless device?This only started to happen in Ubuntu 10.04.

Ubuntu Networking :: Intel 5100 WiFi Card - Dell Latitude E6400 - Suddenly WiFi LED On The Computer Stops Blinking

May 4, 2011

I am running (K)Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64bit on a Dell Latitude E6400, WiFi Card Intel 5100. Never had any problems with networking. Up to about 2 weeks ago. I do realize there have been quite a few posts with this network adaptor, but non really described the problem I have here.

What happens is that suddenly the WiFi LED on the computer stops blinking, the WiFi connection gets disrupted, and the device is not recognized anymore when checking ifconfig. Only cold restarting the machine helps then... it will work for a while (between 1 and 20 minutes) and then crash again.

On Windows 7 the card works perfectly fine. With Ubuntu 11.04 in Live CD mode I have the same effects (connection crashes after a while). Also tried booting an older kernel, no success.

My exact hardware:

I notived the following problems in /var/log/kern.log
