Airport Wireless not detecting network in Linux????

My iBook G4 has a fresh install of kubuntu 7.04 but it seems that my airport extreme card is not detecting ANY wireless networks even though I'm only 8 feet away from the router.
To answer any future questions: yes, I am 100% certain that the wireless works fine, since I am sending this to you on a wireless PC. Also, I have set up the wireless on my other PC's at home using ubuntu & kubuntu linux just fine by entering the WEP key and setting them to hexadecimal with no problems. However, this is obviously my first time setting up linux wireless on a mac Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I know the ppc version of linux has to work for wireless somehow. Thanks!

I also have ever heard that ubuntu in iBookG4 can not detect the external audio port. Correct me if I am wrong.

AirPort does not detect networks, unless another network connection is made

I've just done a clean install of OS 10.5 to see if this problem was software related, but it persists.
AirPort does not detect any network the computer is near (tested in various locations) normally, but when connecting to a network via Ethernet or to another Mac via Firewire to use network sharing, it can update and load web pages as normal. A strange quirk I've noticed though, whenever connecting with ethernet or firewire, AirPort will suddenly detect the network! It still can't quite connect to WiFi properly though. While still connected through firewire or ethernet, it will have no connectivity through a self-assigned IP. If it is disconnected from ethernet and firewire again, the wireless network will still show up in a re-scan for networks but it will fail to connect.
I've opened the computer up to ensure that the airport extreme card is seated properly as well, and that the antenna cable is secured properly.
Any ideas as to what the issue is? Should I look into replacing the AirPort Extreme card?

Got no answer on my original post, so I went ahead with ordering a replacement AirPort card on eBay (item #130487488014). Once installed, the iMac was able to detect and connect to networks normally... but was still unable to load any web pages. I tried on secured and unsecured networks as I did previously, and plugging directly into the router and into my Macbook Pro via firewire, with the same results as before. Safari loads pages when connected with an ethernet or firewire cable, but will not load pages on WiFi alone. I can attempt to access a router setup page via WiFi, and am prompted for a username/password, but the page itself never manages to load.
Any clues as to what may be going on here?!

Windows 7 does not detect network hardware

Using Boot Camp, I installed Windows 7.
After restarting the computer it does not detect network hardware.
So I cannot connect to my Wifi.
What should I do?

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? It was the first menu item when you ran Bootcamp Assistant. If not, run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the menu item to download the Windows Support software. Read the Bootcamp Installation Guide. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Airport does not detect wireless network; it says problem = [network]"connection timeout"

It is not a problem of signal strength, and my Airport detects other networks. It used to detect the network I want to connect to, for two years. It suddenly stopped detecting the network (which is WPA Personal password-protected). When I select choose other network and type in the password, it won't connect to it claiming "connection timeout."
This happened before. Then after several days, Airport was able to detect and connect to the network I want. Now it again won't detect the network, and this seems permanent short of taking measures to address the problem. Should I try connecting manually to the network, and hodo I got about that? Thank you to anyone out there ho might be able to help.

i have a macmini (OS 10.5) and use a belkin wireless router. When I turn on Mac address filtering on the router I have an Intermittent problem. The airport does not recognize the wireless network. On the network preferences panel there is a message that the airport is using a self assigned IP address. sometimes the message says the airport has no IP address. If I turn off the Mac address filtering and use a WAP password only the network is recognised and connects without a problem. How do I resolve this? I dont have the problem with a iBook using system 10.4. Is turning off the Mac address filtering secur?

Wireless suddenly not detecting networks

Hello,
My iMac G5 has suddenly stopped detecting wireless networks (or does so very sporadically). I have an intel iMac beside it which continues to detect all of the usual networks without a problem, so I'm not sure what this is indicative of. The network of interest is hidden so I tried connecting manually, but this only yields an error when I try it.
It started this morning when I woke the computer from sleep and it didn't regain its connection automatically as it normally does. I tried several things without success and finally restarted the computer whereupon the wireless signed on as usual (I only used it for a few minutes before leaving though). After coming home later in the day, the same thing happened, only this time a restart did nothing to solve the problem. I ran some maintenance tasks and relaunched the finder. In the airport menu, I saw a few networks for an instant and then they disappeared. Attempts at signing on to my hidden network give me an error again. For whatever reason it let me sign on all of a sudden and I got a few minutes use before the connection disappeared entirely again. My girlfriend was happily using the network on my other iMac this entire time so I know it wasn't the network.
The airport card is detected by the computer, so does this mean there's something wrong with my antenna?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It could be the antenna but that rarely fails.
If your iMac G5 has the removableAirPort Extreme card, you could check the antenna wire connection to the card using the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card.
If that is OK, I would suspect that the RF section of the AirPort card in your iMac G5 is failiing.

OVM Server 2.2.1 in a ProLiant BL680c G7 did not detect networks interfaces

Hello everybody
I just installed OVM Server in a HP ProLiant BL680c G7 and the installation finish. But the network interfaces was not detected. (The installation skip the network steps)
The Server have 24 network interfaces (FlexFabric Embedded Ethernet)
Any idea in order to recognize network interfaces??

Hi,
try using OVM 2.2.2 which was released a week ago. (edelivery.oracle.com/linux)
A lot of drivers were updated, maybe now your network cards are also detected.

Airport doesn't detect network occasionally

I have an older macbook(2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Build 9J61) which I just bought last year which occasionally does not not detect my usual preferred network. This happens usually after I put the macbook to sleep. I then have to reset my router or restart my macbook to solve the issue. This often gets frustration as doing the following is very time consuming and resetting the router often annoys my roommates. Is there another way to solve this?

When the network isn't detected, have you tried simply turning AirPort off and then back on via the AirPort menu bar icon?
That works when it sporadically happens to me.

Airport express not detected in Utility

I have one Airport Express device only to play music from my pc over my homestereo. Worked fine until now. The amber light is on , reset doesnt help, can not manually configure because my Utility can not detect the airport device, can not update to newer version because my pc doesnt allow internetconnections from within programms ( like it also blocks Hitman Pro) and i can not access firewall settings after i had a nasty virus so i can not set the firewall to allow connection.
I do not think it has anything to do with it but i reset my Linksys Router after i lost my password, internet works fine. I do not use the airport device for internet or printer or anything, just the music. Should i reformat my pc and install everything new and then try to install the airport device again?

The connection between your computer and an AirPort Express device is via the local network created by the router. There is no routerless-free connection, so you need to be sure that the AirPort Express is configured correctly to join the local network.
By temporarily connecting your computer to the AX device by Ethernet cable, you should be able to configure the AX device correctly.

Windows 8 and Server 2012. Not detecting network is a domain.

Hi Guys,
I hope I have posted this to the correct forum.
I have 2 x Windows 8 PCs that do not detect that they are connected to a domain (network location awareness not working). I can join them to the domain but they still don't recognise the network as a domain. Instead they identify it as "private".
Other PCs on the network (Win XP and Win 7) work prefectly, just the windows 8 machines don't work.
Also, when I do join them to domain I also receive this message.
"changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed. The name will remain xxxx.local. The error was: the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. "
I have tried the following
- DHCP and DNS has being tried both as static and dynamic (can ping DNS server which is the domain controller Windows Server 2012) .
- Updated PC NIC drivers.
- No AV is installed on either server or PC.
- Updated PC to windows 8.1.
- Disabled both server and PC firewalls.
- Check NLA service and all dependent services are running.
- Disabled all adapters on server except for one.
I am really hoping someone can help with this as I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Shaun

Hi Guys,
I managed to find a solution to the problem. I noticed that the DNS server zones did not look quite right. The _msdcs zone was missing the subfolders (dc, domains, gc, pdc).
To fix this issue: on the NIC adapter I had to tick the box "register this connection's addresses in DNS" (found under TCP/IP v4 > advanced > DNS tab).
I then had to remove the DNS role, reboot then re-add the role. Problem solved. Hopefully this saves someone else pulling their hair out for an entire day.

HP installer will not detect networked LaserJet MFP M1536dnf just on some PCs

Hello,
this printer/scanner was working fine (printer still works fine via a Windows print server). Then scanning (via network) stopped working on one PC (Windows 7).
Tried to uninstall drivers / HP software and reboot. Then tried to install again - HP Installer will not detect printer on the network no matter what. I can ping the IP of this printer, access its web interface without any issues on the same PC. Tried specifying IP address in the installer - does not detect, the same issue with MAC address.
Had a Windows 8 machine with drivers / software installed on it, tested - scanning still worked fine on that PC. Tried to remove HP software to see if problem will appear. And it did! I cannot install the same software package which I still had in downloads - it will NOT detect the printer on network.
Upgraded printer firmware - no change, even though I don't expect this to be a printer issue as it worked fine until I have uninstalled software on this W8 machine.
Tried using HP Scan & Print doctor. That thing doesn't see printer/scanner installed and only suggest to download and install software which is not helpfull at all.
I also tried extracting HP installation files and finding *.inf files which could be used to add scanner via Windows directly, but haven't succeded with that (I would also be not sure how to specify network IP address in such a case anyway).
Any help is MUCH appreciated. We are kind of stuck...
Thanks!

Hi,
Run some diagnostics and see if any issues are discovered.
There have been reported issues with the NVIDIA 650 with some of the HP PCs. Additionally, most models of the NVIDIA 650 require a 400 watt power supply as the minimum and some models require a PCI six (6) pin power connector which the 300 watt power supply in your PC is not provisioned.
There is a BIOS update posted for your PC so you might want to consider installing that update.

My wifi will not detect networks and will not search for other networks when I search for them. Do I need a new iPhone or can I fix it myself?

My wifi is on and when it tries to find a wifi connection, the gray little circle just keeps spinning and will not detect our home wifi. I have tried to search for it and connect to it manually, but it will not search for the network name. I'm hoping I don't need a new phone so please help.

Airport card not seeing networks after IP address clash

Hi - I have a wireless network that works fine, just reset it up again and my two mac laptops connect perfectly well to it, as they always did. The reason I set it up again was that my desktop intel mac pro (my main computer) was giving an error message, that another device on my network had the same IP address as my Airport card, and that it therefore couldn't connect to my wireless network (which has been set up so that the various devices are given their own IP addresses automatically in Bridge Mode). I have never seen this before. I repeatedly tried 'renew DHCP lease' in system preferences - it had no effect so I set up the network again from scratch to see if that would help. Still nothing. The mac pro cannot see either of the two Airport Extremes in my network using airport utility and nor will it connect to the new network when I put in the name and password - again, I have tried repeatedly. The Airport icon in system preferences is orange.
The airport card has never reported any problems and Apple hardware test (as well as the programme that came with Applecare) indicates that it's working normally. There are also no hardware problems with the Mac Pro according to the same tests.
Does anyone on this forum know what I can do to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless network? (I don't have the option of trying to use it as the computer that sets up the network, as it's located a long way from the telephone connection, so that is done using Airport Utility via one of the laptops).

Deleting the keychain with Keychain access worked.
I still can't click on options nor see preferred networks, but now the new keychain I made is finally staying around after reboot and auto connecting me to my home network.
Thank you for the help. I did accidentally delete ALL my keychains, but that's just as well as I probably had other clutter in there as well.

After Security Update 2010-001: Airport Card Not Detected

Currently running OS X 10.5.8 on a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
Here's the issue. When I boot up the machine and click the AirPort drop down it tells me that there is no airport card detected. Under system profiler it says the same thing. If I boot to a 10.6 Mac OS Install DVD and open system profiler, the AirPort card is detected. This occurred after a reboot prompted by the Security Update 2010-001.
So far I have repaired permissions and repaired disk. No fix.
I reset the PRAM/NVRAM and SMC. No fix.
I booted to an OS X image on an external drive. No fix.
I cannot boot to the Apple Hardware Test (D at startup) because my company requires PGP disk encryption. I could decrypt but this would take at least 6 hours (not counting re-encrypting afterwards).
I tried replacing the extensions. No fix.
There were no firmware updates applied or any other major OS updates.
Anyone have anything else I can attempt?

anyone else see that??
Yes, Already covered in full here. Strange but no problem.
