I got this wireless usb dongle for work and cannot figure out how to get it working.
HSUPA USB STICK

I am using ubuntu 10,04. on an acer extensa 5235 laptop I previously had a vodafone wireless dongle and was able to get that working using betavines software but I havent been able to find an equivalent for my current dongle. Unfortunately our company switched providers. My boss was trying to make me install windows to use this usb dongle...I said no way ,there has to be a way to get it working on ubuntu.
I'm trying to get my SMC EZ-Connect 802.11g 2862W-G wireless dongle to work on a friend's Lucid Lynx. I see there are some closed archived posts asking how to install this dongle, but since they don't appear to have been solved, here's a bump to see if I can resurrect the topic.
lsusb gives me Bus001 Device 003: ID 0707:ee06 Standard Microsystems Corp. EZ-Connect 802.11g on what I should do next?
I've bought this Blumax USB WLAN adapter 9009 (ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter). I was specifically happy to read in its specs that it supports Linux [URL].
However, it turned out that the co-packaged CD drive doesn't contain anything Linux-related, and the support page online has gzip package with many files I don't know what to do with [URL]. The online support swallowed my query and hasn't returned any answer.
So, now I am wondering what to do. I don't feel so competent as to be able to compile the drivers on my own, specifying several specific parameters. At least it doesn't compile with default params. how to move forward with this. Apart from returning the device, because I'm too far now from the place where I bought this.
I want to buy a wireless dongle to establish a bridged connection in my home. I mean, does anyone have a wireless dongle which works perfectly for Karmic without ndiswrapper? Some of the information in the Ubuntu help page is outdated.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 desktop (latest updates) on an Acer Veriton 1000 desktop. I purchased a SMCWUSBS-N# Wireless USB Dongle recently and have been struggling to get it to work. NM-APPLET simply does not show any Wireless option at all. I have tried all the various posts / suggestions that I could Google and I am still nowhere.
Last night I manually loaded the RT3370sta driver. Now iwconfig does show the card on ra0. However, NM-APPLET still does not show any Wireless option at all.
Surprisingly "iwlist ra0 scan" command at the Terminal does show alll the available Wifi connections.
I am just staring in the world of Linux (I want to stop eating what Microsoft leaves behind). I have this minor problem using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). The OS had detected my CNET Wireless-G USB Dongle (CWD-854). I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT-120N). I see in the top right corner of the OS the wireless icon. When I click on it, it displays the SSID of my wireless. When I click on it, it ask me for my wireless password. It start to try to connect to my wireless router, but it always end up disconnecting.
I'm trying my to get my 3-year-old Dynex wireless dongle to work in Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). Borrowing a similar linksys adapter from another computer running Ubuntu, I was able to install NDISGTK and transfer the same drivers that work in my 64-bit Windows 7 installation into my home folder.
Despite the fact that the dongle does not appear at all using lshw -C Network, ndiswrapper -l indicates that the driver is installed and the device is present. I think I found something interesting, though, when I tried this command:
I have a elonex web book with UB 10.04lts installed. Now when i installed aircrack package and tried to scan using airodump-ng mon0 (card in monitor mode) it worked fine and picked up my test APs but wouldn't inject. So i downloaded the drive below and now i cant even use airodump it just sits there?
I had previously been sharing my ethernet connection over wireless using Hostapd & dnsmasq on my headless server as this tutorial shows: here which had been working fine. I now wish to share my USB mobile broadband over the wireless. I using a ZTE MF112. I was able to get the connection working using the application wvdial. - Firstly I had to create a hard link between /dev/gsmodem & /dev/modem - wvdial then made a new connection ppp0 which would work for internet access.
Changing the interfaces to have the br0 port like so: Code: iface br0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 bridge-ports eth1 ppp0 wlan0 Flushing the IPTables & then adding:
Code: iptables -A FORWARD -i br0 -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -d 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
Doing so works fine, but I'm not entirely sure how to make this all automated. I could try making a script to launch, but I don't have a huge amount of experience writing scripts. Is wvdial the best application to use? Keeping in mind I'm using a headless server. I use Squeezebox server & the scrobbling didn't seem to be able to connect to last.fm. Do I need to specify which connection Squeezebox uses?
I dont know if its possible or not ? I'm using 3G dongle (ppp0 interface) for connecting to internet on my laptop running ubuntu 11.04 , now i want to share this 3G connection to my wireless router(Trendnet TEW-652BRP) through eth0 interface in simple my connection should be like this
INTERNET<<<3G WIRELESS MODEM<<<LAPTOP----WIRED CONNECTION TO WIRELESS ROUTER<<<OTHER DEVICES (LIKE ANDROID MOBILE/LAPTOPS SHOULD CONNECT THROUGH THIS WI-FI CONNECTION)
I bought the modem above (ZTE MF627), which works great in Windows 7. My laptop dual boots between Windows 7 and Fedora 12, so I rebooted into Fedora and spent a few hours trying to get the modem working. Scouring the Ubuntu forums (as there's only one post on these forums and it simply didn't work), I found a few possible solutions, but nothing seems to be solving the problem. Here goes... The modem gets picked up by the kernel and appears as a USB device.
I have a Acer Aspire running dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Vista. Although it has an Atheros wireless card (AR5001 according to linux, AR5007 according to Vista) until recently I didn't have any apparent problems with it.I installed a ZTE MF112 Mobile Broadband Dongle. Now I am experiencing great difficulty in communicating with my wireless router (with both LAN and WAN traffic). Connecting to the network in the first place appears to happen quite smoothly and my computer obtains a DHCP IP address. However the ping response times are measurable in seconds rather than the milliseconds I would expect, and any traffic across the network crawls, or just times out and fails.
I do not believe it is the router at fault as two laptops, both also with Ubuntu, can connect to it fine and swapping it out for another router does not fix the problem either. Also there is no problem connecting from Vista.I suspect that installing the dongle has altered something which has made the bugs in the wireless card/drivers apparent and that's where I need some help.
I'm trying to get my new Wireless USB dongle to work with Xubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. I've extracted the .rar file that was on the drivers CD that came with the dongle. According to the ReadMe....
The Model Name is: RT2870 Wireless Lan Linux Driver Driver Name: rt2870.o/rt2870.ko Hardware: Ralink 802.1n Wireless LAN Card Description: This is a linux device driver for Ralink RT2870 USB ABGN WLAN Card. My issues:
1. I do not see the driver file anywhere in the folder contents... I suppose that I have to "build" it. 2. In the makefile the chipset is default set to "CHIPSET = 3070" & the folder that holds all the extracted files is named 2008_1128_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.0.1.0 so I'm confused as to whether this dongle has a 2870 or 3070 chipset inside. Does it matter? 3. Sorry, I'm a bit of a n00bster when it comes to all this, but I'm having some problems with the build instructions. It reads:
I have internet access through 3G/4G USB dongle direct into my Ubuntu 10.04 box. Works great! Now I would like to share this connection out through my Netgear WGR614 wireless (and wired) router. Any clues? I've tried the simple (GUI) instructions using Network Manager, but just can't seem to get it right. Previously, I had DSL and this plugged nicely into the WGR614 and internet and ethernet access was had by all. Now, I'm a bit confused on how to get the sharing (ethernet and wireless) between my Ubuntu box and the wired/wireless network while at the same time getting Internet access to all through the Ubuntu box.
I recently bought a D-Link DIR-655 router capable of 802.11n operation, upgrading from a DIR-624 router only capable of 802.11g operation. While my overall setup uses wired connections, other people in the house prefer wireless, and the upgrade was undertaken more for a hoped for increase in wireless range, rather than the possibility of increased speed, since the router is located to accommodate the wired connections. However, to test the 802.11n operation I bought a D-Link DWA-130 USB dongle for my now 5-year old laptop, which comes with an otherwise satisfactory 100Mbs ethernet port(eth1) and an 802.11g wireless card(eth0). By checking the dmesg | grep firmware output after I plugged in the dongle I determined that the necessary firmware was rtl8192sfw.bin, which I found on the web, and downloaded into the directory /lib/RTL8192SU.
A subsequent reboot and then YaST > Network Devices > Network Settings showed the device as wlan0, but not configured. I changed the Network Setup Method to ifup (since I can see no way to do a device configuration in Network Manager), and configured the device, and at the same time deleted the configuration for the existing 802.11g wireless card(eth0). I then rebooted, went back into YaST to confirm the wlan0 device was configured and the 802.11g device (eth0) was not, changed the Network Setup Method back to Network Manager, rebooted again. Making sure that the router was set to only transmit/receive using 802.11n I then typed iwlist scan. To my surprise, the output showed first that the supposedly unconfigured eth0 device seemed to be still active, for it found my home network, and claimed that the protocol used was 802.11g. On the other hand, the newly configured wlan0 device produced the message: "Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down".
First, should I expect iwlist scan to work for a device that shows as unconfigured? And even if it should work, shouldn't it show 802.11n as the protocol, assuming that the router is in fact telling the truth? Is there any independent means to determine if the router is only using 802.11n as it claims? Second, the overall goal is to make the wireless network in the house 802,11n only, and since the dongle is backward compatible with 802.11g, I would expect to permanently unconfigure the eth0 device and use the dongle, both here and on the road. I do not need two wireless connections on my laptopThe laptop is running SuSE 11.2 as of about a month ago.

I've been using linux for a while now and I bought a usb wifi dongle (TL-WN727N) and when I first plugged it in it didn't seem to work. So I did the usual lsmod andand blacklisted a few modules. Now network manager was finally beginning to work, it would connect and then after three seconds it would disconnect and reconnect. I then tried wpa_supplicant but it kept giving me (and still does) "wpa_supplicant association request to driver failed" along with some other stuff. On a whim I decided to install wicd and tada, it worked! Now about a week ago I did the usual update that pops up but when I rebooted wicdldn't connect anymore. If I had encryption on my router enabled it would sit there saying ":Verifying" for a while then "Bad Password". If I left my wifi unencrypted it wouldn't get an ip. It connects to my wired router just fine, but it won't connect to my wifi
I am trying to get my daughters Ubuntu Laptop to connect to the internet via a Vodafone USB dongle.
I have managed to get the modem itself to connect to Vodafone using the Sakis3G script (brilliant), however once connected the laptop will not pass data through this connection. i.e. when I select "Vodafone prepaid" as a network connection, the little pop up comes up and says GSM no connected?
When I get a connection information from Sakis, it gives an IP address and even had a tiny bit of throughput, however I do not know how to tell it to use the vodafone thingy.
I want to switch my laptop from XP to Ubuntu, but right now, i cant risk installing it. i dont want to have it partitioned so i can dual boot, so for now i only run the try-it-out mode.Before i consider installing though, i want to see if i can get everything to work ahead of time, that way im not regreting instalation. I have a Compaq Presario V2000 laptop, with 55GB hard drive and 516MB ram. So far, the trial mode is working great, but the wireless will not work. Ive tried to install the driver, but i am unable to do so. I have looked this up, and i have tried many things, and so far, none have worked.I was wondering if it was just part of the trial thing or not, but it is a Broadcom Wireless BCM4318 driver
i installed ubuntu along side of xp, and i cannot get my wireless to work. the drivers that are installed in xp work great, and i can access the internet, but do not work in ubuntu.
I am trying to install my usb dongle for wireless connections but when I type the make command in it say's its not installed and I need to install it via
Quote: sudo apt-get install make
the trouble is i need to first get the wirless connection up and running before I can download anything, does anyone have a suggestion or a work around.
I have 2 computers, both running Ubuntu 10.10. I purchased a TP-LINK Wireless Adaptor model number: TL-WN321G
On my main computer (Acer Laptop) I plugged the dongle into the usb port and Ubuntu picked it up straight away and connected, so it worked straight from the box.
I bought the dongle for my car PC, running Ubuntu 10.10. I then plugged the dongle into my car PC, but nothing, it was not recognised. Even though Ubuntu came bundled with the correct driver files found in /lib/firmware/zd1211 I manually updated them from the latest driver download, but still nothing.
How can I get my dongle to work ? I'm guessing I have missed something, because the dongle worked straight from the box on my laptop.
I have a Belkin Enhanced Wireless USB Network Adapter Model # F6D4050 v2. The drivers are for windows but the windows wireless drivers app doesnt work. I see a tutorial for a linksys that appears to have the same chipset, but I am not sure if any of the steps need to be modified, also my kernel is a bit different. Here is my kernel:
I am experiencing a strange problem. I have two vga monitors and a ATI Radeon HD 3300 embedded on my motherboard. My embedded graphics card has a vga and dvi output. When I plug my monitors in (one uses a dvi to vga dongle) only the one with out the dongle gets a signal. I can swap which monitor uses the dongle and still only the one that does not use the dongle gets a signal (both monitors work, only if they are not using a dongle). Both Ubuntu and Windows are having trouble displaying video, but no trouble detecting the monitors (display settings show both monitors but do not tell me good resolutions for them). My friend has a different dvi to vga dongle, his only has about half of the dvi pins while mine has all the pins. Could the problem be that my dongle has all the dvi pins
I recently purchased a wireless USB dongle. It works great. I am looking to connect multiple computers to that USB dongle. I wanted to know if anyone out there knows if it is possible to link multiple USB cables together like a reverse splitter.
I bought this Wireless N USB dongle Edimaxx EW-7811Un today and it works fine in Windows. But when I plug it into my Ubuntu Netbook, nothing happens? I'm guessing this is a driver issue and there is a driver available on their website but I have no idea what to do with it as I have never manually installed a Linux driver before. I tried looking up some tutorials but all the methods seem completely different between specific hardware. The driver is available here : [URL]
I need to buy a wireless USB dongle for an Linux laptop. The intention is to use it with a security penetration distro like BackTrack. I want it to work without having to do install anything outside of apt (especially NDISWrapper). It would be really nice to know if you're currently using it.
