Ubuntu Networking :: 3945ABG Not Connecting To Secure Networks?
Dec 28, 2010
I'm having another slight issue. On a clean install of Ubuntu Studio (10.10), I have installed network manager (manually, using .deb packages, one at a time, including all the extra ones it required) and I can only connect to non-secured networks. If I try to connect to our home network (which has WEP security), it sits thinking about it for a while (with the wireless light flashing, indicating it is doing something), but after a while, it asks for the WEP password again. it works fine if I turn the security off

I recently ubgraded to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04, but I had the same problem there. I can see the secure connections, but when I try to connect to them, it tries to connect, works at it for about a minute, and then asks for the password again. This just started a week ago or so. I am new with ubuntu, so while I know that there are terminal outputs I should probably post, I don't know which ones.

I have been using Ubuntu for quite a long time and I never got around fixing this particular wireless problem. I have tried Network Manager as well as Wicd. I am never able to connect to a secure network (WPA). When I use Network Manager, it just tries for a long time and gives up. As for WiCD, it again tries for a long time and finally says "Bad Password". Of course, the passkey is correct. When I connect to an unsecured network, it goes through just fine. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 which uses a Broadcom 43xx Driver.

I have 2 network cards in my computer, and I would like to connect them to 2 different networks. Both connections work fine when I use them so that the other one is unplugged, but as soon as I connect the second plug (doesn't matter which one is first) they both stop working.I've been googling and reading dozens of pages about how to set this up, but I still can't figure it out.
One connection gets its addresses from DHCP and that connection is used for pretty much everything. The other connection has a static IP, and is used to access just one other computer, which is in the same subnet as that static IP.I'm using Ubuntu and I've been using the NetworkManager Applet to manage my connections. If I've understood my googling correctly, NetworkManager Applet can't be used alone for this kind of setup, is that correct? (Even though it has that "Routes..." button and "Use this connection only for resources on its network" which I've tried for the connection with the static IP, but they don't seem to help.)
So my questions are:
1. So I really can't use NetworkManager Applet for this?
2. What software / tools should I use instead? (My googling brought up such wildly different solutions, and I don't know which ones are outdated, if any.)
3. Should I get rid of NetworkManager Applet completely?
I'm familiar with routing in theory, totally clueless about the networking tools in Linux, but happy to read manuals and happy to learn to use the command line versions if anyone can point me to the right direction.

I would like to my laptop to connect to two networks at the same time.The first network is wireless through which I access the Internet.The other network is a wired router to which my laptop and another computer are connected. would like to connect to the two networks at the same time so I can access the Internet, and talk to the other computer on the wired lan.My problem right now that I can only connect to one network at a time. Even the act of plugging in the cable for the wired network causes the wireless to cease functioning.Could somebody give specific steps. I am on Ubuntu 11.04.

My brother is trying to connect his laptop to his university's secure wireless network and is running into some problems.
He is receiving the following error messages with private info removed:
kern.log
=========
Code:
Jan 13 09:42:52 laptop kernel: [ 91.744131] wlan0: associate with AP
Jan 13 09:42:52 laptop kernel: [ 91.746454] wlan0: RX AssocResp from REMOVED (capab=0x421 status=12 aid=0)
[Code].....
Also, in my research it appears that people that have Wireless problems often install the linux-backports to see if this fixes the issue.

I have ubuntu 11.04 installed. I have a D-link USB Wireless Adapter. Ubuntu detected it and it worked fine. I have a Beetel 450TC1 Router which broadcasts my internet connection. Ubuntu recognizes it, and keeps on trying to connect.It asks me for Authentication again and again.( Don't tell me to check the password again, it does work on everything else )And its not the router problem also, as I tried broadcasting through a laptop I have, Ubuntu again detected but couldn't connect and kept asking me for Authentication

I have setup an ubuntu gateway server by using four NIC cards.
eth0 :210.212.235.107 is connected to the internet
eth1 :192.168.1.222 is connected to the local network
eth2 :192.168.2.222 is connected to another network
Here 192.168.1.222 is the gateway for 192.168.1.0 network and 192.168.2.222 is the gateway for 192.168.2.0 network.These network configurations are working fine, but i want to block inter network communication ie from 192.168.1.0 network to 192.168.2.0 network,i want to block the communication for securing the local networks more.I know iptable rule is enough for this purpose .But i cant find the apt rule for this purpose.

In setting up wireless connections I have ran into an array of problems. First, when I installed the new OS on my laptop I had to get the correct drivers and firmware for it to display and connect to any connections, had no problem here connecting to a secure wireless network (WPA or WPA2). I then installed Ubuntu on my desktop and had to find the correct driver for the Netgear WNDA3100v2 USB adapter, got it all installed with the Windows Wireless Drivers tool or w/e it is. This made all the available connections come up. I tried connecting with the WPA password I was given for the network and will not connect.
I had the guy managing the network change the one I connect to, to a WEP Passphrase Shared Key thinking this would solve my issue, still nothing. And also in doing so, now my laptop will not connect to the wireless network using the Passphrase. I do not want to go back to Windows, and I will be getting rid of my Lan connection soon so i need a solution to fix this wireless connection problem.

using a text interface for my computing but I have run into an issue. Does anyone know of a CLI networking tool that will allow me to connect to a non-broadcasting network? I have tried cnetworkmanager and attempted wpa_cli. The first does not seem to support it and I have not played too terribly much with the second. I have discovered that when I boot my comps into KDE and tell NetworkManager to connect to the network cnetworkmanager can find it then, but that does me no good for what I want, which is to boot my computers straight to runlevel 3 and get connected. If it means anything I am running F11 on a Dell Inspiron 1521 Laptop with a Broadcom wireless card (awfully annoying to set up, but it is working fine) as well as F11 on a desktop of my own designing with a Netgear wireless adapter.
P.S. I realize that broadcasting the network would be the trivial solution but alas I am not the admin on the router and he is out of town.

Here is the setup I have. Two debain (squeeze machines) A1(eth0,192.168.33.1, netmask 255.255.255.0) and B1(eth0,192.168.43.1, netmask 255.255.255.0). They both have 3 nics'. So I am trying to connect to each other with a crossover cable and I have added the routes manually. eg: on machine A1 route added was
route add -net 192.168.43.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.33.2 eth1
and on machine B1
route add -net 192.168.33.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.43.2 eth1
For project purposes they both have to be on different networks, evn thouhg they are in same room.

if connecting to my server for file transfer using gFtp is secure. I told gFtp to connect to the server using SSH2 and it works. It says it uses this command "ssh -e none -l wordpress -p 1883 IPADDRESS -s sftp." Is this more or less secure then using ftpes or ftps? What I thought was weird was that I could shutdown vsftpd and still connect. Does SSH2 SFTP use its own ftp server?

I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.
What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.
I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.

I need to be able to log into (with X enabled) my home computer (running OpenSuse 11.4) from my work computer(running Windows XP). I was originally going to setup ssh on my home computer but then realized that I wouldn't be able to get my desktop this way.At work, we use windows remote desktop connection to log into other computers within our network, but I'm planning on asking my manager if I'm allowed to login to my home computer.If he accepts, I need a method to actually make it happen.I looked at FreeNX which seemed awesome but it doesn't seem to have windows support. To an extent that I would like to only allow my work IP to be allowed to even try an login.The bridge to cross here is the fact that I'm connecting from windows.

I have an IBM Thinkpad T60, running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) with a dual boot of Windows XP. I am having trouble getting it to connect to my home wireless network, which uses WEP. It connected fine at my university when I first installed Lucid, but has not connected at home. I can see the network in the panel applet, with a good signal strength, but when I try to connect it repeatedly asks me for my key and never actually connects. I had this problem shortly before I installed Lucid, though it was working for a long time previously. I'm not sure what update caused it to stop working because I was at my university at the time, and it works fine there even now, so I didn't realize it right away.
I doubt this is a hardware issue because I can connect to the same network when I boot into Windows. I have seen posts about similar problems on the forums, but couldn't find any solutions that helped me.
Below is the information the wireless help guide said to post. Machine Brand and Model: IBM Thinkpad T60

I've always wanted to learn this branch of computing, and I do think it's rather interesting. So, I was following in unison both this and this, which so far just tell me to download ipwraw-ng and extract it, but when I cd into the folder, and say make, I get this:
Code:
ibo@ibo-laptop:~$ cd Desktop/ipwraw-ng/
ibo@ibo-laptop:~/Desktop/ipwraw-ng$ make

I recently installed F10 x86_64 on my Lenovo T61 laptop, and while I'm quite pleased with F10, I am having a difficult time with my wireless card. I spent most of yesterday searching for a solution, but none have presented themselves. Scenario: I am trying to connect to a HIDDEN SSID with NO ENCRYPTION (work Wifi, don't ask) using network-manager and its associated applet.
Symptoms: I left-click on NetworkManager, select "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network", enter my information, NetworkManager does a few things, and finally I'm told that NetworkManager cannot connect to my network.

I have my laptop dual booted between Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. In Ubuntu I randomly lose connection to the wireless network. It always works fine when I first boot into Ubuntu but after a while my wireless connection will go down. The signal strength meter will go to zero bars and the black popup message will appear that my wireless connection has disconnected. At first, if I just wait a bit, the connection will come back. However, after about 4 or 5 times of doing this it will then ask me for my password, and inputting the password does not reconnect me to the AP. I am finally forced to reboot. Then it works OK for a while again and the cycle repeats.
It works fine in Windows7 all day, every day. I have the Release Candidate of Windows7 so it's going to expire soon. I would really prefer to make Ubuntu my everyday OS on this laptop rather than pay for a Windows7 license but I cannot tolerate a flaky wireless connection.
I had 8.1 on this laptop at one point and I never had any problems with the wireless then, that I can remember. I had no Ubuntu for a while but then I came back with the 9.1 and was loving it until the wireless problem reared it's ugly head.

I'm new to linux. I've just installed Ubuntu 11.04. It has all been going ok, but the wireless just stopped working all of a sudden. The indicator light turned off and when I tried to turn it back on (Fn+F2) nothing happens. Sometimes, when I restart the computer, the wireless might work; but if the signal is lost the LED on my laptop turns off and I cannot reconnect. Also, in these strange cases that the wireless works when I restart I can manually turn it off (Fn+F2), but nothing happens when I try to switch it back on.
In the menu on the upper right corner I see 'Enable Networking' is checked, but 'Enable Wireless' cannot be modified.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 and the wireless device is an Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG.
I have tried to follow some of the threads on this forum on similar cases, but the ones that were comprehensible to me did not work (or I actually might not have understood them either). code...

I have some serious trouble getting the Wireless connection working, using Fedora 13 on a Dell XPS M1710 laptop which has an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 ABG adapter. I have previously tried an earlier version of Fedora I think it was version 10, where it worked flawlessly out of the box, but all versions since then, simply wont work properly. I got the Fedora 12 64 bit working at some stage, after using hours and hours trying to get it working, and suddenly it did. Don't know what suddenly made it work, since I haven't made any new changes, just re-checked the old ones. But I needed to use Skype which is only in 32 bit, so I had to reinstall to a 32 bit version, and then couldn't get it working again.
I can get it to work with any Windows version, no problems. I have also tried with PCBSD version 7.x, 8.0 and today I tried the new 8.1 just to see if that worked to, an no problemos, it works perfectly out of the box, I could set it up in 5 minutes, even though I don't have any previous knowledge of PCBSD, other than a few short trial installs.
It has to be said that I am a newbee to any Unix/Linux, so I don't know how to troubleshoot properly, and have only tried a few things which I have picked up from other forums. But unfortunately nothing seems to work. The first thing I did after a clean install was I looked in the Fedora 13 documentation, that says I should check that the NetworkManager is controling the interface, I tried to start up NetworkManager but nothing happens, no reaction what so ever. I tried rebooting and then restarting NetworkManager, but no matter what I try, I won't work, not even if I am using the root account.
I noticed right after the install, that there was a choice of connecting to a hidden network in the lower right corner of the screen, but while I have been trying to get the NetworkManager to work, it has suddenly disappeared (I have disabled SSID broadcast on my Linksys router. I've tried to run lsmod and it seems like the right firmware is running, I think it was called IWL3945 or something like that. I think there were around 3 such modules running, plus a Dell module.
Another important note, before I even touched the the WIFI, I connected to the Internet via my normal fixed LAN connection, and installed all the updates that were available and rebooted the system. I am using an LinkSys WAG354G V2 ADSL router, where I have disabled SSID broadcast. Is there a kind soul out there, who has a good idea of what the problem is, or a good idea of how to troubleshoot it ? since a laptop without a WIFI connection is not of much use to me.

Have been using Arch for about one year. Everything works great until a few days ago. My wireless card couldn't connect to my router.
kernel: 2.6.32-ARCH
wireless card: Intel 3945ABG
wireless card driver/firmware: iwlwifi-3945-ucode 15.32.2.9-2
[code]....
The wireless card:
Code:
#lspci -vv
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 1010
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx+
[code]....
Since the card works in scanning mode, I assume it's OK. I have other devices in the house that also connect to the same AP. Everyone works except this laptop.

I've just installed F12 64bit on my notebook. Everything works great. Only problem I'm having at the mo is my WLAN is slow at DNS resolution. On wired it works fine. I know it's not my access point as it is part if my router and I've rebooted it a few times. My other wireless notebook (Windows 7, Intel 3945ABG) doesn't have the same issue, and this notebook didn't when on Windows 7. I'm using OpenDNS as my forwarders.When I open a URL in Firefox (3.5.5) it opens the site immediately on wired. On wireless it will sit for 3-4 seconds before opening the site saying looking up .................. Once on the site browsing behaves normally.Anyone else having similar issues?

I could use Wireless network. I could see several different networks in my range. Then suddenly the network stoppedworking, and I can no longer see any networks under "Wireless networks".The Wired networks works fine.I tried upgrading ubuntu, but nothing changed. Just to confirm, I rebooted the computer in Windows Vista (Dual boot) andconfirmed that Wireless worked fine there. No hardware problem then.The suggestions I have found on this and other forums suggest looking at the output from iwconfig and ifconfig. But since I'm a n00b at Ubuntu I don't know what to make of it.
This is the output:
emil@emils:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

I'm an Oracle DBA and started working for my current employer about 4 months ago. This past weekend an alert re: FS space brought my attention to /var/spool/clientmqueue (full of mail re: cron jobs) and the fact that sendmail is not running on our Linux servers.I'm told that the IT security team deemed sendmail too vulnerable so we don't run it.Aside from FS filling up and missing notification of issues with crontab entries, I'm concerned that we may be missing notification of potential issues. In other Unix/Linux environments I've seen emails from the print daemon when it experienced problems with specific jobs.
Are there other Linux facilities aside from cron and lpd that use email to advise the users of possible issues? Are there ways to secure sendmail or secure alternatives to sendmail? My primary need/desire is to make sure that emails regarding issues on the server get to the appropriate users. Secondary goal would be to have the ability to use mailx to send mail out. There is No need/desire to receive mail from outside.
