Cant get a rtl8180 wireless card working

I have a D-Link DWL-510 pcmcia wireless card that uses rtl8180 driver. By now i got it working using ndiswrapper + windows drivers (with some changes). Its ok for simple connections, but if i try to connect to WPA network it fails.

I tried to build/use the rtl-wifi-svn and rtl8180 packages from AUR but none of them worked.
Does anybody knows how can i fix it?

what ip address does the laptop get ?? ensure that the laptop is not set for a static ip add....and it gets an ip add from the router ..

  • Getting  a wireless card working on a G5 PowerMac.

    Hello there.
    I am trying to help a friend get a wireless card working on his PowerMac. So far the machine knows about the card is there but it isn't working as an Airport.
    Two cards have been tested, an Apple branded one and now a generic PC one which looks to be using the same chip-set coincidentally. The PC one had some Mac drivers which my friend said he installed, but somehow he ended up with FUSE on his system. :-? I don't know why that happened as a file-system handler isn't going to help get wireless working that I know of! LOL. :-D
    The driver CD is missing now so I can't check it. And the box has nothing about the card. So I wouldn't even know where to get a compatible driver. I have searched using the PCI info but no luck.
    The Apple card has Apple A1027 stamped on it. And the antenna has been connected on it AFAICT. I've also read Atirport cards can't simply be plugged into the PowerMac and an Apple technician must install it. Could this be the case? And what about the generic PC wireless card then?
    The end result is that the machine knows the hardware is there but it can't get any wireless communication working. Also, a Apple Base Station has now replaced a wireless router. So can that be made to run a diagnostic and see if it find the Airport itself? Or even the same on the Mac?
    Here is the Mac model:

    System Profiler (Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info) should show if the AirPort card is recognized. I'd then try to add an AirPort connection item in the Network panel of System Preferences, enable the AirPort menu bar item, then try to turn AirPort on.

  • Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV.  I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on.  I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

  • What wireless card works well with Arch?

    Hello there
    I recently finished building my quad-core (yay!) pc and because I don't want to run a long ethernet cable across the house, I was wondering if you guys knew any wireless cards I could use for my desktop (PCI/PCI-Express) that would work well with arch. I'd prefer to order it over the internet, and don't want to spend more than $100 (tax/shipping included). I know there was an earlier thread about this, but I didn't want to revive it and I also had some "requirements" in which I pick out. All help is appreciated

    The helpfulness of answers is limited by the details provided.  Just saying it does not work, or I got an error does not provide much to go on.  How is it not working?  What happens or does not happen?  Is an error returned?  If so what error.  Are you sure you are logging in with your home sharing ID?  It is not the same as your Apple ID or iCloud ID.

  • Does this wireless card work with leopard

    I was just wondering if anyone has this wireless card working on os x leopard?:

    It says it is tiger compatible - but then also says tiger or "higher". I wrote the company selling it but just wondered if anyone is already using it out there .
    Thanks,

    Hi there!
    You need to be sure that this card supports the broadcomm chipset, as this will allow the card to be recognized as an airport extreme device, otherwise you might have to hunt for a compatible driver for the mac.
    You are better off with the G+ card from Belkin. The model of my card is a Belkin F5D7001 with the broadcomm chipset. You might have to do an in depth search to make sure that you find the right one.

  • How does does Wireless and a Wireless card work?

    I bought an imac G5 1.8ghz We already have a BT wireless connection and I want to hook up to that. I gather that I need an airport card but I'm not sure how to insert a card into the machine there is a CD portal and ones for USB as well. How does this wireless business work and what do I need for my machine running Tiger 10.4.11?

    The AirPort Extreme card appears to be the correct product
    but you should be able to tell from some of the Apple Support
    information in the form of their product support page for your
    specific computer model. The main support section has a side
    bar menu of products and if you find iMac G5, then look into it
    further, you can identify what exact model iMac G5 you have.
    {+If you have looked under the Blue Apple in the Finder menu bar+
    +and chosen About this Mac> more info> System Profiler> then,+
    +look under Network> Airport card, you can see if one is installed+.}
    There are manuals, instructions and other info available, too.
    The manual to install the physical AirPort Extreme card is in
    the manuals link in the iMac G5 page in Apple Support.
    Since there were a few different models of iMac G5, you should
    be sure to get the install instructions that match your computer.
    The card itself could be used in many different Mac models, so
    it will NOT have installation instructions with it for your iMac G5.
    {The hardware installation is the point of reference here; not the
    CD software, which very likely is outdated and not needed at all.}
    Apple - Support - iMac G5 models:
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac/g5/
    Apple - Support - Manuals:
    iMac models (from newer Intel, on back to older)
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#imac
    Since the iMac G5 (PPC) and iMac (Intel) look similar, you
    will have to identify your computer in the G5 category to
    be able to get the correct AirPort installation instruction .pdf.
    How to Identify your iMac (note three designs)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1463
    The software CD included with that older Airport Extreme package
    will likely be older than your OS X version in the computer now.
    {So, you will NOT need to install that software to use the AirPort card.}
    Examples of .pdf download manuals on how to install an Airport card
    are as follows (these are actual links to these manuals.) +So, these may+
    +not be for your specific iMac G5 computer.+ To be sure, use Identify page.

    {Since the above are examples, and there were more than two designs, you should
    check the ' how to identify your iMac ' page under the iMac G5 and Intel, to be sure.}
    Good luck & happy computing!
    PS: if your 1.8GHz iMac G5 is a 17" LCD with Ambient Light Sensor, the wireless
    AirPort Extreme is a built-in component: Model # M9843 (1.8 GHz) and in the older
    1.8GHz iMac G5 20" the card is listed as an Optional part, in pre-light sensor model.

  • Cant get server for msn to work on iphone 4

    Hi I cant get my MSN SERVER for MSN to work on my Iphone to receive and send mail I have tried the out going and incomming port codes but NO luck does anybody know how to make my MSN work on my IPhone 4 .
    thanks

    Again the operator CAN create the config file and send as an SMS . This config file contains the correct settings.
    You just open the SMS and it auto installs in the phones config bundle
    You then boot the phone down and reboot .
    It really is simple however many MVNO services can't be a**ed -that why their cheap!
    Not in dispute with you on the problem - yes it's the APN defaulting to ATT and being blocked as a non- subscriber. And compounded by the MVNO Sim card not having the correct protocols to view the APN menu item.

  • [SOLVED] Wireless card works, but configuration and software doesn't

    Hi,
    I could manage to activate my Atheros wireless card using the madwifi drivers. I wanted to use knetworkmanager, but unfortunatly i doesn't recognize any of my network devices. I've read the other networkmanager threads, changed the daemons order, disabled the network daemon and the routing entry in rc.conf, but still (k)networkmanager doesn't know anything about my devices.
    I tried to use knetworkmanager-svn from the AUR. Initially it doesn't work because the SVN URLs inside the PKGBUILD script a wrong, but even after I fixed them I couldn't compile the source, because there is no configure and no Makefile in the svn head. I'm really a noob when it comes to the linux build system, so I had to give it up.
    Now I use wifi-radar. It is terribly slow to connect, but it works. However, when I disconnect with wifi-radar, then do 'ifconfig ath0 down && ifconfig eth0 up' the DNS requests fail. I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the default route (set to eth0), but they are right; the interface just doesn't use the name servers. The only way to get it working is to restart the laptop. How does Linux chose a "default interface"?
    I'm not afraid of editing text files, but I'd like change networks fast and easy. I don't want to spend hours to adapt to a new access point... I'm really looking forward to the new wlan stack; maybe things will be getting easier then.

    Okay, now KNetworkManager works (I forgot adding my user to the HAL group :] ).
    There is still a problem - I know it's networkmanager related: At home I'm not using a DHCP server. KNetworkManager cannot handle static IP configuration. However, if I issue the command 'ifconfig ath0 192.168.0.12 subnet 255.255.255.0' while KNetworkManager is searching for a DHCP server I can even ping my gateway, so there is definitely a connection. Unfortunatly KNetworkManager closes this connections after a short period (dhcp timeout). Is there a quick'n'dirty workaround for this issue?
    Another problem with KNetworkManager: When switching back to wired network, the DNS server is there :-) but the default gateway is not
    Thanks for suggestions..
    kei
    //EDIT: In Debian there is a configuration file called /etc/network/interfaces. KNetworkManager uses the static IP information I enter there. However, when I modify /etc/rc.conf accordingly in ArchLinux, KNetworkManager does NOT use it.
    //EDIT 2: After '/etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart' the static IP setting from /etc/rc.conf are used. The problem with the default gateway only occurs when the connection to one of the networks FAILS. After that failure the configuration is kind of messed up.
    Altough it seems more like a dirty hack than a definite solution, I'm quite happy with the way it works now.
    [CLOSED] <-- maybe I'm blind, but how can I change the topic to "[SOLVED] $Topic" ?

  • Cant get airplay and remote to work again.

    So im currently having problems getting airplay to work and remote to connect to my itunes again. I have the iphone 5 and iv been using airplay and remote on it since i got it untill couple of days ago i cant seem to get the airplay icon to show up when my reciever is on and i cant get it to connect to my itunes using remote. I already try restoring the phone but i dont think that was the problem. I get get airplay to work from itunes though. Bascially all the hardwired things can access airplay but not the wireless stuff like my iphone 4 and 5. I tried using my laptops itunes on the wifi and it didnt work but when i connected it to the router it works. Anyone having the same problem as be cause i dont know why is just stopped working all of a sudden when i didnt even change anything.

  • Will I lose all of my documents saved on my Time Capsule if I reset it in order to get the Airport wireless router working again?

    Hello I am having problems with my Time Capsule (2nd Gen) and being able to get the wireless signal working throughout my house.  I have concluded the only step I need to try to fix this is to reset the Time Capsule. 
    My concern is that if I reset the capsule I will lose all of the documents off of the external hard drive of the Time Capsule.  Will this happen?
    Is there anyway to avoid losing these files, or is there some way to attach a USB cord to the Time Capsule and be able to retrieve my files?
    Thanks for any help out there.

    Correct.. no files are lost in resets..
    Plug the TC straight into the computer by ethernet.. use a LAN port of the TC. <-->
    Factory reset.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Factory reset Gen 5
    Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
    If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
    Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
    When it comes backup the TC will have an IP of 10.0.1.1 and the computer will be 10.0.1.2
    You can access all your files on the TC.. with very minimal setup.. but Mavericks can be a right royal pain.
    If the disk doesn't show up in Finder.. manually mount it.
    Go, Connect to Server..
    AFP://10.0.1.1 and when the computer finds the resource it will ask for a password.. type in public unless you changed it.
    You should now be able to access the files.
    I recommend if you have important stuff on the TC you do not want to lose.. get a USB (or faster) drive today.. plug it into the computer and make a backup.. the TC is not adequate as a NAS or file server as it has no ability to either backup itself or even have TM back it up.
