Ubuntu Networking :: Iwconfig Key Not Working / What To Do?

Mar 3, 2010

I use iwconfig to connect to my networks cuz i have fluxbox as my window manager. At home my network key is just a phone number and i can connect fine. at my college campus the key is "thinkofspring" and every time i do
Code:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key thinkofspring
i get an error that the key is invalid or didn't work. Do i need to use a different command for full text keys? I'm running ubuntu 9.10

Ubuntu Networking :: Essid Never Set In Iwconfig

Jun 27, 2010

I recently got my Belkin USB wireless adapter working by following some other threads in these forums. Now I would like to connect to my access point. iwlist scan works great and I can see my AP along with others. However when I follow the step by step instructions here: [URL]... I fail during the DHCP request with no DHCPOFFERS. My AP is using WEP encryption for now (I've even tried it with open encryption). The thing that I'm seeing or not seeing is that when I set my essid using sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "GimpsHouse" and then after that do an iwconfig it says off/any. Here is my iwconfig

Networking :: Not Able To Associate With AP Using The Iwconfig

Jul 3, 2011

I have an IBM T60 with Intel 3945ABG WNIC:

Module for this WNIC is loaded:

Code:

Code:

If I execute "iwlist wlan0 scanning", I see the cell I'm interested in:

Code:

I'm able to connect to this cell using Gnome "Wireless Networks" manager, but not with iwconfig. At first I tried to connect to this "bq" network while wlan0 was active("ifconfig wlan0 up") using the iwconfig but this didn't change any of the wlan0 parameters.

Then I tried to shutdown wlan0("ifconfig wlan0 down") and executed:

Code:

Now the changes applied and "iwconfig wlan0" gives following:

Code:

Everything seems to be correct, but I'm still "Not-Associated". I have tried with "iwconfig wlan0 essid bq", "iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:24:14:F9:0B:92", "iwconfig wlan0 essid "bq" mode Managed" etc, but whatever I try, it does not connect. I even did "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" in order to be sure, that Gnome "Wireless Networks" is not interfering with "iwconfig", but this gave no results as well. I can associate with this AP using the Gnome "Wireless Networks" just fine, but for some reason I can't connect using iwconfig.

Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Iwconfig Speed Automatically

Feb 26, 2010

i've had problems with a laptops wireless card (using 8.04).i can connect to my network but only at 1mpbs. so, searching through the forums, i found a post that said to issue this command: Code: sudo iwconfig wlan1 rate 11M and that seemed to solve my problem, temporarily.now i'm growing tiresome of doing disabling wireless, issuing the command, and then bringing the wireless card back up. is there a way i can do this automatically upon boot? i checked out my interfaces file, but it only has the loopback setting in there.is there a config file somewhere that i can set the rate of the wireless card manually?

Ubuntu Networking :: Ra0 Ra3070sta Works With NetworkManager But Not With Iwconfig

Jun 2, 2010

I have a tenda W311u wireless with a ra3070sta chipset, i read a lot of tutorials to get it working. I recently had my wireless working but just in NetworkManager. I need to get working in console mode, for example when i make a:

Note: The Essid the same i added in the RT2870sta.dat file.

And therefore if i try a dhclient3 ra0 no dhcp offers received.

Rare, but if i start NetworkManager connected to azcor, and i make a dhclient3 ra0 i get an ip very fast.

I try with cnetworkmanager but is complicated and isnt working for me!

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Iwconfig Rate Auto Too Low?

Dec 14, 2010

left to its own devices my wireless connects at too low a speed. I have a 20meg internet connection and my wireless is slowing it down to like 3meg. When I reboot into windows it's fine. When I run iwconfig eth1 rate 11M or even 24M the connection is much faster and runs fine, why won't it automatically go higher? Is this the fault of the driver? I am running Broadcom's driver compiled from source. Also, how can I set it to 24M at boot?

Edit: I guess I can put iwconfig eth1 rate 24M in rc.local, but I'd still like to get auto running higher, especially as my signal should be pretty good. Output from iwconfig white rate=auto:

eth1 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"honeypot"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.417 GHz Access Point: xxx
Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power:24 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thrff Fragment thrff

Fedora Networking :: Iwconfig - Not Recognizing Key - KDE 3.5 ?

Apr 5, 2009

I'm running fedora 8 and i have a TEW-424ub. I recently ditched windows, and the only disk i could get was a Fedora 8 dvd. I used ndiswrapper to get my driver installed, then I used the iwconfig commands to hook myself up to my wireless. However, every time i do the command

Code:

My comp freezes up. I then decided to use the GUI to set it up, as it might be less aggravating. It found my network, i input the key, double-check, and it atttempts to connect, then asks me once again.'

Also, if I go to Network Configuration, and activate my ndiswrapper device, it gives me the error & my comp freezes up "Set Encode" (8B2A) SET failed on device wlan0:0 ; Invalid argument.

Networking :: Save Changes With Iwconfig Permanently?

Feb 20, 2010

I am having some problems with my wireless card. If I ping my pc with no activity on it, it just won't respond to the pings. But if I start pinging from the PC and then from somewhere else, everything works perfect. I found out this problem since my ftp service was not responding sometimes. So looking for info and checking some parameters I found the "Power Management" option in the iwconfig command. It's value is "on" so I tried turning it off and It seemed to have solved the issue. The thing is that after a reboot, it returns to it's default value. Is there any way to make this parameter value permanent?

Networking :: Iwconfig Reports Many Errors

Apr 16, 2010

I have one laptop running under Windows and another under Linux. I can access and surf the internet on both computers. But the Linux laptop is painfully slow.

If I ping my gateway the Windows lappy does in in 1 ms but the Linux in 20ms. iwconfig reports errors under Rx invalid crypt, tx excessive retries and huge numbers under invalid misc, and nothing on the rest.

The router is encrypted with WEP and iwconfig reports the correct key.

Networking :: Configure Wireless Network - Iwconfig

Feb 6, 2010

I still cannot access to internet. May I know why?

Is it due to the Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A)

The step i did:
1) iwlist eth1 scanning
2) sudo iwconfig eth1 essid shabana key s:xxxxxx
3) invoke firefox ... cannot surf

Do I need to set dhclient? how should I set? DO I need to enable wpa_supplicant?

iwlist eth1 scanning

sound like I was able to connect to ESSID:shabana. Is it true?

The linux is Centos 5.4

Fedora Networking :: Iwconfig And Iwlist - What Frequency A Wireless Interface Is Using

Nov 10, 2010

I have just upgraded my system to Fedora 14. One thing I noticed after running some applications on it is that it is not possible anymore to figure out on what frequency a wireless interface is using. If I set a wireless interface to monitor mode and perform the iwconfig or iwlist command, in the past, I could see the frequency used on the interface, but now, this information is not present anymore. My wireless interfaces are in monitor mode.

Has the frequency information been removed from iwconfig or iwlist commands? If it has, is there another way to report this information?

Here is an output from iwconfig on my system:

Ubuntu Networking :: Iwconfig/iwlist - No Wireless Extensions And Interface Doesn't Support Scanning?

Mar 11, 2010

The adapter I purchased (Zonet ZEW2508 ) uses the Ralink 2070 chipset - a fact that originally excited me because Ralink seems to be fairly loving to the Linux community. However, despite my best efforts I can't get the thing to work. Initially I tried following directions to set up the driver you can download from the Ralink website. The directions I found were written February first, and Ralink updated the driver February eighth - so as far as I can tell the directions no longer work. After screwing around trying to figure that out for a while I decided to give ndiswrapper a go.

Initially this seemed promising. I just harvested the drivers from the CD and followed one of the many ndiswrapper directions available - most helpful seemed initially to be the Ndiswrapper Troubleshooting Guide found in this forum, however the solutions offered there didn't work either. When I throw an ndiswrapper -l into the terminal it looks promising at first, it tells me the driver is installed and the device is present, but it just doesn't work. When I try iwconfig, or iwlist scan it tells me "no wireless extensions," and "interface doesn't support scanning" respectively. The only devices even listed are lo, eth0, and pan0. There's no wlan0 or anything of the sort.

Networking :: Wireless Connection Works But Doesn't Show In Iwconfig Command

Mar 21, 2010

Ubuntu 9.04 with working wlan. I had to restart router & wap. It doesn't seem to ever retry to connect. I know my router & wap are good, I have wireless working on other laptop (running Puppy) I had to go into 'edit connections' in drop down and use 'wireless' tab then edit 'wireless connection 1' and hit 'apply' is there a better way to do this? also, no connections show up with command 'iwconfig' edit: with ifconfig, eth1 si showing data my ip address and packets sent & rcvd. I think I'll try do duplicate this event and use 'ifconfig eth1 down' and then up again to see if it reconnects.

Ubuntu Networking :: WUSB600N V1 Install On 10.04 - Iwconfig Shows Wlan0 With An ESSID:"" And Nickname: "RT2870STA"

Jan 6, 2011

I've been trying now for 2 days to get my WUSB600N v1 adapter installed on 10.04. I'm a bit of a noob but have been able to follow some posts on here on getting it set up. This is what I've done:

Installed the Ralink RT2870 drivers. Changed the config.mk to enable some parameters. Compiled and installed. Added some entries to blacklist.conf. Updated network/interfaces to include my wpa settings and passphrase. Restarted/rebooted/reinstalled about 100 times!

Here's what happens: iwconfig shows wlan0 with an ESSID:"" and Nickname: "RT2870STA" iwlist wlan0 scan shows my router fine (although does not show Cell 02 which should be the 5GHZ range). So basically it's not connecting to my router. Not sure if I missed any steps. Will gladly provide some extra output if needed. Pulling my hair out over this now ready to throw the adapter in the trash.

I have a Linksys AE1000 wireless adapter. I managed to install the drivers and connect it to an unsecured network called "linksys" which I can access the internet with.

However, I now want to connect to a secured network but it won't let me!

For example, I've tried doing the following:

Code: sudo iwconfig ra0 essid "MyNetwork"

My commands. It should say, ESSID:"MyNetwork" on the top line.

Ubuntu Servers :: 10.10: Iwconfig Doesn't Install By Default

Oct 11, 2010

So I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 64-bit for testing purposes. But when I went to connect it to my wireless network at home, it showed that iwconfig wasn't installed by default like it did in 10.04. Does anyone know how I can either connect my system to the network without using iwconfig, or how I can get iwconfig and install it from a flash drive or some other form of digital media? And I can't do apt-get since I can't get on my network. And I also can't plug in a ethernet cable because my network port is broken.
