Ubuntu :: Wireless Network Not Recognized?
Aug 29, 2010
I'm having an issue with my wireless router not being recognized in Ubuntu Netbook Remix. When I boot into it, it won't display my network. The funny thing is that my neighbor's network is recognized just fine.
Also, I can discover and connect perfectly fine in Windows 7, just not in Ubuntu. This is the only thing holding me back from installing it and diving in.
Edit: My netbook is a Lenovo Thinkpad X100e, if that makes any difference.

my wireless home network is not recognized by my network card (RealTek RTL8190 mini PCI). The post was as follows: "I am using a new computer with Windows 7 , Athlon quad core 2.60 64 bit, 8GB RAM. Internet conection works fine with ethernet but ubuntu does not see my wireless network. card (RealTek RTL 8190 ID: 10ec:8190). Have searched this forum but unable to come up with a fix. I was looking for windows XP drivers to use Ndiswrapper but could not find a list of .inf files. My network is OK and works perfectly in windows and with my 2 laptops. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Additional info: install was done within Windows using WUBI to a separate partition on my HDD. I am new to this and thouroughly confused as to the procedure for installing the drivers if they are in fact available."
I am very frustrated in that I would like to use Ubuntu 10.04 but it is useless without internet connectability. I am new to linux and do not understand where to get the appropriate drivers or how to install them. I wish someone would answer this post and either give me a clue what to do or just say "give up" and uninstall ubunutu.

Hi I have istalled a D-Link wireless adaptor - with the help of this forum.
It is up and running - the light flashes and lsusb identifies it correctly, so does iwconfig.
I can, however, not connect to the network, and I noticed the following errors on boot up.
Trigering udev events: /sbin/udevadm trigger -- type: failed /etc/rc.d/rc.M: wlan0 Error for wireless request; "Set Nickname" (8BIC) information; "Any ESSID" Set failed on device wlan0; operation not supported.
Lower down I get
Starting rt2870 drivers . . . /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: wlan0 information "Any ESSID"
Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8BIC) set failed on device wlan0 : Operation not supported
I have on two occassions seen sugstions to use wicd, but how do I use that?

I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 beside my Windows XP on my laptop:
Dell XPS 1330
I`m now facing some problems with my new OS :
1. The driver for my wireless network card isn't recognized although I have installed the recommended driver which was in Ubuntu Hardware Driver section.
2. When I connect my laptop to my TV using HDMI port, the screen is OK but there is no sound!
3. When by any reason my network cable is unplugged, the whole network service goes down and I have to restart the system.
lspci results:

I am brand new to Linux and Ubuntu. However it was very easy and smooth to install and get updated using my wired ethernet connection. I am now trying to understand how to have my wireless network adapter recognized or driver installed. I will be searching around the forums but it suggested I make an initial post as a new user. I am using an older Dell Inspiron 2200. I believe the chipset in my wireless adapter is indeed Broadcomm, so hopefully that will help direct any responses.

Just installed 11.3 kde. When running the live cd both wireless and ethernet devices appeared in the network connections manager utility. I even connected to a wireless AP.I just booted up for the first time and none of these devices are available. There is no network manager icon in the system tray, and when the network manager utility is maually opened the only connection type i can select is vpn.I know that opensuse should be able to recognize these devices since they were available and working via the live cd, so can anyone help me restore them?
One extra piece of info, is that I am sharing a home directory with a gnome ubuntu install. there were a few minor issues i dealt with initially, but i didnt need to change this user's UID like I have had to do in the past so that's good. Each time i open a terminal I get two pieces of output assuming from the bash startup saying something like.URL...I highly doubt that these problems are related, but figured I'd post. Also if someone knows the solution to that as well, that would save me a bit of googling.

I have just loaded Suse 11.4 and have had (2) problems, 1st: When I installed some additional programs, such as, Scribus, the system showed them as installed but they did not show up in the "applications" menu any where. I finally tracked them down and edited them in and they work fine - Why aren't they being automatically placed into the menu system? 2nd: I have a home network setup and all systems can see and work with each other, however, the host system is not shown as if it did not exist at all. for example; if I go to "network services" and select "Samba Shares" if other computers are connected it will show them but not the host - if no other computers are connected it shows nothing. On my 11.3 system it shows the host eg; "Linux-12fx blah blah" this is of course my host machine. I have replicated all of my settings on the 11.3 settings on my 11.4 system - no luck!

I just installed and Ubuntu doesn't recognize my wireless card HP dv2945se. I can get a wired connection. I can't figure out what kind of card I have (did the terminal command line, have no idea how to read it) or how to install a driver for this OS (HP's site just lists drivers for Windows). How to get the wireless card recognized?

I'm trying to proselytize and have installed Lucid on my receptionist's Gateway M500 with an Orinoco PCI Mini wireless card.
The card works in XP, but when I boot into Linux, the network card indicator light doesn't turn on, and lspci gives me this:
No wireless card
Pressing the on-off wireless button does nothing.
What can I do to turn on the modem so that Lucid sees it?

I have lucid installed on my hp laptop without any problems, and I went to install it on another hp but the I can't connect to any wireless network. I tried to follow this thread's advice [URL] . Because it's pretty much the same problem except I think the wireless card is from a different Intel family but it didn't work.
Basically wireless networks won't show up, in fact the network icon only has "wired" as a menu option.
I tried to follow the thread, even though I had no idea what it was saying as far as instruction goes.

Due to distance issues, I cant use a cord, but the computer is close enough to get a signal. am using a Netgear wnda3100 wireless usb adapter. I installed Ubuntu on the computer because I heard that the device was supported in Ubuntu, and it wast after a while, the adapter is no longer recognized. I have had to reinstall multiple times, and I'm no longer in the mood to reinstall. Does anyone on the UF know hwo to fix this

I just installed 10.04 on my EeePC 1000HE, and wireless isn't working. My card isn't listed when I ifconfig. I've messed around with installing the Windows drivers, but nothing has worked so far.
If it's useful, I popped off my battery and it said something about the wireless controller "NE766".

No wireless networks can be recognized in Ubuntu, and now after several attempted fixes, my wireless toggle button won't switch from orange to blue. My wireless card is Atheros AR5001. I posted in the absolute beginners forum, but I've played around so much that I think I can move on to this one I'm so sorry if posting another thread is bad etiquette, but I need to have wireless access by Friday morning, and am slightly desperate.
Attempted fixes: First, I installed the backport modules using Synaptic. Then, I installed the madwifi driver. After those failed, I used ndiswrapper to install the Windows driver (linked from the ndiswrapper page). I made sure to disable the madwifi driver and restart first. My output all looks normal--I blacklisted everything mentioned in google searches. Here is the current output of ndiswrapper -l:
Code:
ndiswrapper -l
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in

I just installed Ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 17R (in part to determine whether it's windows that's causing my system to freeze daily or whether it's a hardware snafu, and in part because I like Ubuntu), but it appears that Ubuntu is not recognizing my wireless router--it says no networking devices detected. I was thinking that it might have been a problem with the install, but is there any way to fix it manually?

I just bought a no-brand wireless presenter. It's a plug n play device, and it works out of the box on a windows machine. I plug it into my laptop with Natty installed, the buttons on the device for page up and page down do not work.
I tried lsusb and dmesg, it seems to me that it is recognized as a USB YUREX. I did a quick search on Google, and I found somewhere that the device will work if it is recognized as a generic HID, but I have no idea how to do it.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 (natty-64 bit) and my wireless PCI card is not being recognised by default. Previously, when I upgraded to 10.10 I had to go to the Realtek website, download the driver for RTL8185 and install it (following instructions in the readme file) to get my wireless card recognised and working properly. This time around, that approach doesn't seem to work. When I try to install it using "make" I get the following error:
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic-pae/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

So I'm running a live disk of ubuntu 11.04 because my windows 7 is totally messed up and wouldn't recognize my external hard drive and I cant back up my documents. I actually really like Linux and wanna keep it, but I have 2 problems. 1, I can't figure out for the life of me how to connect to the Internet. Its not scanning for any wireless networks and only seems to want me to connect via Ethernet. I think the problem is that it doesn't recognize my wireless card/doesn't know it's installed. Is there any way to fix that? I just want to be able to connect to wifi.
Now my second question. I can acess all my files fine, but Linux doesn't seem to register my external hard drive either, nor any other USB device. It just acts like there not plugged in. No error message or Anything. Is the a way to fix that? I fear that there might be some sort of hard ware issue, because in windows seven it doesn't recognize USB devices or my wireless card (among many many other problems) either. Although, I tried An older version of ubuntu on this same computer once and had a similar wireless issue which I was never able to resolve before my 7 was having any wireless issues.

I have a Dell Laptop which worked very well also with the wireless card. In fact the wireless card was never an issue and worked straight out of the box. However it has lost the ability to detect the wireless networks. I have plenty of networks in my area and my little netbook shows them nicely. So did my Dell laptop in the past. But now the Dell laptop shows no scan results at all although the card seems to be up and running (see terminal output below) I have to add that I had to compile a module for the WIRED network card which works excellent I always use and used a wired network and cannot say when the wireless card stopped to work PLUS I had a faulty harddisk which was replaced by Dell recently so there could be also a hardware fault since then because the laptop was opened by the service people. And yes the wireless is switched on in the BIOS If I create a wireless network with the laptop the netbook can see it, so the wireless card is broadcasting

just installed OpenSuse 11.4 on my laptop and now I'm trying to get my wireless to work. I read the two stickies posted in this section, so I'll now try to give all the information that is needed. If anything is missing, let me know and I'll update it asap.
II. My device is RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapter and the kernel driver is listed as: rtl8187
III. Do I need external firmware? With "dmesg | grep firmware", I found the following, although I'm not sure if that pertains to the wireless or something else:
[ 0.116670] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored: line 238
[ 0.130165] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: No _BQC method, cannot determine initial brightness: line 248

I have a desktop and a laptop connected by ssh (Places>Connect to Server). This works OK for file sharing but the laptop does not recognize the 2 printers attached to the desktop machine. As I understand (??) it, if the 2 printers are set up as 'shared' in CUPS (as they are on the desktop) then they should be recognized by the other machine on the network. But this is not happening. Is this the right way to network printers?

I have two D-Link network cards installed in my computer. The Ubuntu 10.04a2 installer seemed to recognize only one of them, though I know both are functional. I plugged a CAT5 cable in here, connected to my home network (with Internet). The installer proceeded happily, configuring DHCP and synchronizing clocks. However, when I rebooted after its completion, Ubuntu didn't recognize that I was connected to the network. I re-jiggled the RJ-45 connector, to no avail. When I run "System Testing," it does list both network cards during the Network suite, one being D-Link, and the other "James Bond" or something. So, what gives?
