My wireless internet was disabled after doing the updates. The Wirelss LED remains orange all the time, normally it turns blue when enabled. I tried all sorts of things from other forum. But no luck my wifi still don't work. Below are the info I've got after running some scripts.

I recently installed ubuntu 11.04 but I'm having problems connecting to the internet via wireless. I did the "rkill list" which ended up like this:

EDIT: the switch is turned ON but it's still orange
I finally decided to make the final move into Ubuntu (from XP) and i seem to be having a problem with my wireless. I remember getting it to work on this same PC under Hardy Heron but now I'm stuck. I installed the OS as a dual boot with XP so i could move files back and forth and such. When i click on the network icon i see "Wireless network - Disconnected" also this laptop does not have a regular LAN adapter. If i do an LSpci i see the device Broadcom bcm4311 listed. I see the network disabled on lshw I followed this guides to try to make thinks work and didnt achieve a thing![URL]... P.S. I have the feeling that the issue is related to a button on the side of the computer that enables/disables the wifi. Under ubuntu said button does not work and the network appears to be disabled in spite of device being listed and drivers being present. any tips? there are no hot keys marked in the keyboard that would enable wifi)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Hp pavillion dv2000 and i installed Ubuntu 10.10 the wireless works really fine and fast until i decided to buy a windows vista and installed it, i didn't know that installing windows would affect other OS already installed, after installing vista I installed Ubuntu 10.10 again and the wireless wont detect anything and it would say on the wireless option 'discinnected' and the wireless led light stays orange instead of blue.How do I fix this problem??

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy Toshiba NB100 originally came pre-installed with 8.04 LTS and even has a 'Ubuntu Certified' case sticker, so I expected that jumping to the next LTS should be easy... It was. Simply burnt the image to a thumb drive, booted into the live mode, saw that everything worked and installed it. Everything that worked in 8.04 works here. Not a single problem!
Of course, you have to do a clean install though because the 8.04 supplied by Toshiba is disabled to only allow updates for 8.04 but not to upgrade. I did not need to install any 'Payson' packages and the once proprietary wireless driver is now not, so I have a totally non-proprietary system.
As well as looking nicer and booting faster there are other pluses. I can now upgrade in future without a clean install (if I want) and hopefully no longer have to put up with updates breaking the system - for example sound disappeared on two 8.04 updates (a finding found by many NB100-11R users) and the last update which pushed me to try 10.04 ASAP also made my webcam undetectable and the keyboard mapping all wrong. No such problems here now and I don't expect it.
So, if you have Toshiba-NB100-11R, there is absolutely nothing to lose. Backup your valued files and go for it. Totally painless. Of course you'll need add all the restricted stuff back yourself, but that's not hard. EDIT: Only one thing doesn't work (that doesn't bother me): the function key to toggle wireless on and off. It always remains on.
I've just installed Fedora 12 (32 bit) KDE on my test system and have a couple of issues.I haven't played with Fedora for a couple of years, so I'm not very familiar with it. I haven't had the problems with Kubuntu, OpenSUSE nor Mandriva, so I'm a bit in the dark here. I'll see if someone can help me with my sound issue, before moving on to the next problem. I've read seveal posts about sound issues, but not sure exactly if any are the same as I'm having.
After installing Fedora 12, sound was all working fine. I think installed all the available updates, which is when the problem began. Basically, I have sound in Hulu, Firefox videos such as CNN, etc. But, I have no sound at startup or shutdown....system sounds, I suppose I should say. I have disabled SELinux and the firewall, before I began updates. Looking in KInfoCenter under Audio, I see:
Audio Devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONF VIA8247 with ALC655 at 0xc400 IRQ11 In System Settings>Multimedia I see Internal Audio Analog Stereo as the only device shown. I have unchecked Mute and have all volume controls up all the way in KMix, which shows HDA Nvidia on the tab.
I recently had my AE 1000 linksys wireless adapter driver installed, the info for which can be found here:
[URL]
But today I was presented with 142 automatic updates already downloaded waiting to be installed on my computer. I installed the updates and restarted my computer for the updates to take effect. Well, since then my wireless adapter no longer registers at all, it doesn't even recognize my router let alone connect to it. It is as inoperable as the day I got it.
I am currently using a different computer in the house to get internet. Should I go about following the same directions I did before and reinstall the driver, or is there a more simple way?
I have just completed installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. When I click on teh network manager it shows:
Wired Network
disconnected
Wireless Network (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2])

I want to be able to connect through the RealTek wireless adapted.
I've had a host of problems since upgrading to 11.04 Natty Narwhal, so let's deal with these 1 at a time.
I've got a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion G60 laptop. Next to the power button is a handy wireless on/off button. This has always worked well with previous editions (9.04,through 10.10). first press toggles the wireless off, second press toggles it on.
Not so in 11.04. The toggle off works great, first time. But, it will not toggle back on. Not after any number of tries, not after restarting, not after booting into other OS's (9.10 and Vista) re-enabling it there and then booting back into Narwhal. to further complicate the issue, this feature bypass the network manager, so toggling the wireless off by the switch leaves me showing no wireless adapter in the network manager. I also restarted, switched from Unity to a Gnome session, but the issue still persists.
As my only network options are wireless, this has become a substantial inconvenience.
----
EDIT: so the network util is actually saying "wireless disabled by hardware switch". Also noticed it I enable it in 9.10, reboot to 11.04 (where I inevitably fail to re-enable it), then reboot into 9.10, it will initially be disabled. The key difference is in 9.10 I have the ability to enable wifi using the hardware button. It seems that 11.04 is remembering that wireless is disabled between boots. Is there a place it might be storing this value? If so, I may be able simply to set the value as enabled, since toggling that silly button isn't working.
-----
EDIT 2:
found this thread:"Wireless disabled by hardware switch" bug? - Natty
seems to be a similar issue. I'll be following how that one develops, too.
So, after installing Lucid wireless doesn't work for me. When I click on the network icon on the status bar, it shows "wireless is disabled".
With that message, I press the wifi button on my HP laptop and it turns off my blue-tooth, without changing the status of my wifi.
I found this rfkill command in another thread:
Before doing anything, after bootup:
Code:
$ rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

Just upgraded to the newest version of Ubuntu(unity), and my wireless isn't working. I have the 14e4:4315 Wireless Card so I followed this posts [URL].... And still have no wifi, when I click the icon in the menu bar it says under "Wireless Networks": "wireless is disabled by hardware switch", which ins't true because on my Vostro 1520, there is only one switch and it is in the on position. I've tried 3 versions of ubuntu and none of them work with wifi getting tired of it.

I don't usually have any issues with installing ubuntu but I figured I would ask around here before I try anything major. I just installed the latest version of ubuntu on a compaq presario cq60. I have no issues connecting to the internet via ethernet but for some reason the wireless says its disabled in the top corner. Now there is a button that has the wireless off/on capablilty but whats strange is in Windows it would always boot to be off and I would have to press it to activate it. It boots orange but when ubuntu boots it goes blue(on, but clearly it isn't.

I have a problem with the suspend button (fn+f5) on my hp pavilion dv2000 laptop. It is working but only after an intervention. So, every I boot up my system the short-cut/button is not functioning. In order to make it work I have to open the Power Management Preferences and close them. I don't even need to change anything there. Now the button will be working just fine until the next restart. It's pretty annoying to visit the Power Management after each restart, isn't it. Any ideas how could I fix this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed 10.4 (wubi installation), and am having strange problems with my networking.
It was working fine, wireless enabled, connecting to my network fine. Then for what seems like no reason, it decided to disable the wirless on boot, and I cannot re-enable it, the option to enable it (by right clicking the nm applet) is greyed out.
I have had this problem twice now, the first time it happened, my ubuntu installation was really new, so I just reinstalled, no harm done. The second time I did something that seemed to fix it (for a while at least), but now that is not working.
My wireless was working fine for about a year using 9.10 until I installed an update about May 28 2010. After that my HP laptop did not recognize any wireless routers including my Netgear. In early June I upgraded to 10.04. My HP laptop has: product: AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. Dose the following apply when looking for the source of my disabled wireless found at: [URL]
Setting wireless regulatory domain via module option no longer supported. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS enables the CRDA wireless regulatory framework for controlling which wireless channels are usable and visible in a particular location. If you previously had to use the module option similar to that below in /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf to allow access to certain channels in your locality then you may find that wireless will not function at all: options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU You should remove this kernel module option on upgrade from releases earlier than Ubuntu 9.04 and use the iw*reg command instead. (This change was made in Ubuntu 9.04.) Here are the results for the Code sudo lshw -C network

I realize this seems like a repeat question (and it probably is). I have been searching for a solution to my issue on the forums/web for a few hours to no avail. I have a Compaq f700 with Vista. I am sick of Vista. I installed Ubuntu today. Looking forward to using it more. However I am having problems with the internet.
My wireless internet is on the on setting, however, the light will not switch from orange to green (if I load Vista instead, the light changes). Broadcom BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311], It says my wireless is disabled. I can not figure out how to enable it.
We're on vacation here with free wifi and I brought two laptops. The older of the two laptops running Ubuntu 10.04 and a Broadcom wireless chip suddenly wouldn't work this morning. I checked and it says wireless disabled, however wireless is grayed out when I right click on network manager. I have -no- idea what to do. I've never seen wireless just die like that. I popped open the cover but the wireless card is fine. I re-seated it, booted back up, still no sign of it.
What can I do?
I updated from Ubuntu 9 to 10 some while ago and can no longer connect to the internet via wireless. The computer is a Medion 96290 with a USB wireless card. Running "lsusb" gives code...
This tells me a driver is installed but it may not be the correct one. I copied this driver from the Windows driver file.
Network Manager shows "Wireless Network" greyed out and "wireless is disabled".
WICD shows net8187b as the installed driver and that the hardware is present.
There is a wireless switch on the keyboard which it was not necessary to use in Ubuntu 9 and is inoperative in Ubuntu 10.
I have searched through and applied many suggestions without success and have posted this problem on a couple of forums, again without success.
I logged into my notebook today and found that my wireless was disabled and I couldn't enable it again, also found that my bluetooth icon was gone, when I tried looking at the setting for it it told me that it coulnd't find the bluetooth hardware. Don't know what's up with this everything was working fine yesterday, I logged today and I can't use wireless and bluetoth.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 11.04 latest updates on a HP G50 laptop. It was working fine but would never auto connect to wireless. I would have to select the wireless from the top menu and connect to a network. However I disabled it once and tried to re-enable but ran into a problem. The Enable Wireless was grey and would not allow me to enable.
Have searched google and tried lots of solutions and none worked. I even reinstalled and still have the problem.
Okay, so I just installed ubuntu alongside Windows 7, and it's saying wireless is disabled. I clicked "enable wireless," and the box has a check mark now, but it's still saying that wireless is disabled. I restarted my computer just to see if that'd do it, but it's still not working.
