Networking :: Specify A Network Adaptor For A Program To Use?
Jan 9, 2011
I have two nic's connect to different networks. I would like to use one to pick up my email and connect to skype and the other for general internet access. Is this possible?
I just installed 10.04, just migrating to linux. I can't see the network manager anywhere. I have the applet installed. I can't get the wifi adapter enabled. The chipset iwl8345 shows on the output when I run config. It seems to me that I need to get the NM up and that should doit. here is ishw:
I installed fedora 14 on a server appliance . After that , i decided to change the hardware , but now i have a problem !!! Fedora 14 on new appliance can not recognize network interfaces (eth*).
I have SUSE Linux 10.1 kernel 2.6.16.21.I copied the source RPM package for the broadcom netxtreme gigabit network adaptor and put it in the location /usr/src/linux as the instructions said. when I try to build it it is looking in the location 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp as you can see from the stdout shown below. So this version of the kernel is obviously 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp but I got the kernel source code for 2.6.16.21 from kernel.org. So the question is how to find the source code for 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp so that the driver will compile.---regards, WER
I have recently installed openSUSE 11.3 I have a Belkin G Wireless Network Adaptor
Model: F5D7050 FCC ID: K7SF5D7050E
Linux doesn't seem to recognise this device at all. I had a look online from another PC for drivers. and they are provided by Belkin themselfs but only for Windows XP/Vista.Is it possible to get this working on openSUSE. I previously used this very same adaptor on an Unbuntu 10.2 PC and it worked with no problems at all.
My laptop has an internal Broadcom wireless adaptor. It works fine for basic Internet access, but I cannot change the MAC address with ifconfig. I would like to be able to change my MAC address. Since this is a laptop, the only option for me to do this is a USB wireless adaptor. But compatibility is very hit-or-miss. I've already tried two USB adaptors that had been stated to be compatible with Linux, and while both worked for basic functionality, neither allowed me to change the MAC address.
For whatever reason, this information seems very, very difficult to find. I have spent upwards of ten hours cumulatively searching forums (including this one) and other resources, and have found only vague, outdated, or outright false information regarding USB adaptors that support this. I believe I will be doing a great service to other users like myself by getting this question directly and conclusively answered for once, and the more responses, the better.
Questions: Do you have (or know of) a USB wireless adaptor that actually allows you to change the MAC address?
If so, what is the specific brand and model number, and what steps were necessary to install the drivers?
Firstly, apologies if there is anything incorrect about this request for help. Consider me an intelligent but ignorant first time Ubuntu user. I have a USB wifi adaptor, [URL]../B...ef=oss_product, which claims to be Linux compatible. It was supplied with a CD that includes a Linux directory but windows-only documentation. How do I install the drivers etc, the device is currently entirely unrecognised by Ubuntu 10.04.
I have a older Dell desktop running a older version of Ubuntu 9.04. I recently got a Belkin N300 micro wireless usb adaptor so I could use it to connect to the internet. I have a Verizon MiFi 2200 wireless router that I use for internet access. The desktop won't recognize the new hardware. It came with a driver disc, but it's for windows.
I set up an older computer with Ubuntu 9.10 and tried to get my Linksys AE1000 Wireless N adapter to work. My first mistake was not checking in advance to see if this adapter would work, but I have taken the leap and I am intent on making it work. I ran lsusb and it gives me a device number (13b1:002f) so I know it can be seen and I have also installed indisgtk the GUI for Wirless drivers. I have tried some suggestions from other posts to no avail.
I just recently moved somewhere and the internet is wirelessly provided by the whole condo building. It is just a free and open network but I am trying to find a way to hook up my Xbox 360 to the internet. I do not have a wireless adaptor or a spare router, what I do have is my ubuntu laptop. Is there a way I can hook my xbox up to my laptop and bridge the connections so that I can finally connect to xbox live via my laptop?
I installed CentOS 5.4 on my desktop yesterday after facing crashes from Ubuntu 9.04 Everything worked fine and few didn't which I could resolve, but this problem is absolutely strange to me. I've USB wireless adaptor Belkin F5D7050 v4000 which uses a zydas zd1211 chipset. The problem is that I've not been able to connect to internet or even in the local network. (I've this another Laptop (Windows Vista) which can connect to internet and thus I can post and download stuff.)
I read the CentOS wiki [URL] to setup the wireless network and it asked me to download a firmware for it.. I downloaded and installed the firmware from the specified location but to no respite and I can't connect to network. now the strange thing is the result of iwconfig which was here even before installing the firmware. iwconfig shows
I just recently installed and have no clue how to get the drivers for my netopia 3d wireless adaptor to work! all the drivers are for windows! I have never used this OS before.
I just installed the Natty Beta and plugged in a Netgear WG111v3 USB wifi adapter. It is using the RTL8187B driver and worked out of the box. The problem it loses my connection every few minutes. Sometimes not for 10 or 15, sometimes like a minute or less. After it loses the connection, I have to uncheck "enable wireless" (which I assume is the equivalent of bringing down my wireless interface) and then check it again before it will let me reconnect. I don't want to try ndiswrapper because the card works great when it works, including monitor mode and packet injection!
I've ubuntu 10.04 and I can't connect to router wi-fi with my new wireless adaptor usb (ralink 2870). I've tried various guides but nothing. The adaptor work fine with Windows and other linux distributions.
I have some novice to intermediate programming skills from a past life. What I want to do is create a program and run it on two separate computers to just get them communicating together over the network on a basic level. I would like to do this in a language that doesn't limit me to a specific OS, this way I can have a linux and windows computer talking. However, I would prefer a language that can be useful down the road as well. My second inspiration, next to networking, is web design and web programming, which I hope to dig into as well eventually.
I'm not aiming to do anything overtly-complicated. One example that comes to mind would be a program that forwards any typed characters on one computer over the network and displays them on the other, and vice-versa. I guess the program would run over TCP/IP. However, it would be nice to learn how to do this in a language that not only works on multiple OSes, but also has the ability to allow me to program my own communication protocol, aside from TCP/IP, down the road. My intention with all this is to learn some network programming for fun.
Via a network traffic monitoring tool I see that my laptop is generating lots of outgoing (EDIT : incoming !!) network traffic. Although no download program is running or any other program of which I know that could be generating this much traffic. Something strange is going on and I need to know how I can find out which program( s ) are generating network traffic.
Is there any way in a machine with 2 (or more) network devices to only allow 1 program to use interface1 and force all other programs to use the other?
I have a third party program (tightvnc) which I want to monitor and detect if it loses a connection with a client. I don't care if the client has the program open but isn't doing anything with it, I only want to know if the actual TCP connection is lost.
Since TCP takes forever to die on it's own I was thinking the best way to detect if a connection is lost is by bandwidth the bandwidth on the tcp port allocated to the VNC connection. Are there any tools built in to redhat (RHEL 5.2) which I could use to do this? Since I don't have full control of the operating system I would prefer to use built in tools rather then trying to get a new tool installed.
i have recently had a house mate move in and he is using my wireless network, even though i asked him not to give out the network key to his friends either he has or they have hacked my network and are using it when they come over, is there a program i can use to monitor the number of computers that are connected to my network and block them, or is there a way i can just wee what is going on. They seem to just connect and i don't want to have to change the password particularly because that involves changing it on multiple devices.
i looking to replace network manager on my laptop with another wireless program. iv been looking at Swscanner, Rutilt wlan manager, and wicd network manager. iv had trouble with network manager not being able to connect or losing connection fairly easy. im using a gateway m6843 running ubuntu 10.04 32 bit os.
I've been using Ubuntu 10.10 for the past couple of months now and I thoroughly enjoy it, but I've seem to eventually come over a problem. I'm on vacation and want to transfer pictures from my camera to my computer. I have a Micro SD adapter (2 GB) that I've tried to put into my SD slot on my computer, but it seems that Ubuntu doesn't recognize it (gotten a bit used to plug & play laziness, I guess). Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu recognize the memory card?
My friend has a Acer Aspire One netbook that runs on linpus. It has difficulty connecting via the internal wi-fi interface to the BT Homehub (802.11n) If I were to pick up a wi-fi adaptor such as:

Where could I find the drivers to make this USB stick work?
I have a problem with an Acer Aspire One Netbook running 10.04 (although this problem occurred in Karmic as well). The problem is that if the laptop is unplugged from the AC adaptor, the power indicator doesn't pick up the change, although the screen dims (I think the BIOS dims the screen). This usually wouldn't be a problem, but when the laptop runs out of battery, the machine goes completely dead, rather than hibernating at critical like it should.
I've followed the instructions on the wiki page but it still doesn't work. Obviously I'm quite worried about data loss here, especially since it's a physical hard disk!
I have a usb wireless adaptor that I sometimes need to remove from the computer, but often it locks up my system upon removal, even after typing "ifconfig rausb0 down" Is there a Linux equivalent to the windows "safely remove hardware" applet for usb devices?
Just finishing up installing Ubuntu 10.04 on another laptop that has Win. 95 originally. Had read that the Ubuntu operating system won't recognize the card. I had used it in the same laptop, just for internet at home and at work. Is there anything I should know about making it work?I guess I should probably wait until it is finished installing, and then try the card.
