Airlive USB WiFi - dhcpcd timed out

Hi all,
I'm trying to get working wireless connection with AirLive Turbo-g USB Wifi. I've installed wifi-radar and tried to connect to my AP. Firstly, output says Invalid argument to my WPA key and then it's trying to get an IP adress by dhcpcd which ends with Timed out.
Some ideas please? And it's Dell Latitude X200 laptop.

But how? May I reconfigure wifi-radar, so it will use dhclient instead dhcpcd? I've tried that, but thats not better.
I'm wondering why it says "Invalid argument 'my WPA key' "
Heh, really strange.

[SOLVED] dhcpcd: timed out

I want to install Arch using wifi. I'm trying to connect to my WPA network before I even begin.
I did this (with my own network and passphrase in place)
wpa_passphrase mywireless "secretpassphrase"
wpa_passphrase mywireless "secretpassphrase" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
And got:
dhcpcd: version 5.2.2 starting
dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out
What's wrong?
EDIT: Long story. Wrong key

Before starting dhcpd, make sure you are connected - run wpa_supplicant without the -B switch to check for errors.

Make sure you bring up the interface with ifconfig before you run dhcpcd.
Try:

And then run dhcpcd on that interface.
should i run
#ifconfig wlan1 up
just before i run dhcpcd? Becuse ive followed the wireless guide on the wiki without luck.
I get the feeling i am just missing something stupid tbh.
Tnx for your answers!

[solved] dhcpcd: timed out after reinstalling arch

Hi erveryone!
After reinstalling arch I can't connect to my wireless network anymore.
Typed:
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
Got:
dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out
wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf (ssid and psk deleted):
network={
ssid=""
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=
I reinstalled arch on my netbook at the same time and there's everything working fine (even with the same wireless-card). The only difference between the two systems is that my laptop has an i686 installation while on my netbook I've installed x86_64.
Things I've tried:
+ Update the system via wired-connection (mirrors.kernel.org) --> the download never gets faster than 10KB/s (?).
+ Configure the wireless interface via netcfg --> same problem
+ Reinstalled again and only changed LOCALE in /etc/rc.conf --> same problem
So you may see, I have no idea what I could be doing wrong and hope that theres anybody out there who knows what to do!
P.S. Well, i have now by-passed my problem.
1.) Created a list of packages installed during system-update on my netbook.
2.) In this list I changed package-name-x86_64.tar.gz to package-name-i686.tar.gz
3.) Downloaded the list with wget.
4.) Ccopied the packages to my laptop
5.) Created a local repository and made a system-update.

Hi trusktr
This might seem stupid but are you sure you are using "eth0" and not "eth1" etc.? As an example I have two on-board lans and I'm plugged into eth1. I had to change rc.conf as it defaults to using eth0.
#Static IP example
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth1)
Since I am using eth1 and not eth0 here is what I get when I try:
ifconfig eth0:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:4B:00:88:0E
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:23 Base address:0x6000
Look familiar?
I'm not saying this is the case but it could be something as simple as that.
ifconfig -a
should show you how many lans you have.
Thought I would drop the obvious first in case that's all it is.

13" 2.3 i5 wifi keeps timing out

My one month only Macbook Pro 13 has suddenly developed a problem with the wifi. It keeps timing out or it finds the network but can not connect to the internet. I have a dell and 2 other PC's and PS3 and all other machines can connect so I know its not the router. Is there a wider problem with the macbook pro 13? I really need to know how to resolve this ASAP?

I had a similar problem and I changed the channel on my router, and all seemed good from there, there might have been interference with other devices in the household.

Wifi connection timed out, wifi connection timed out

I can't connect to internet using WiFi,,, my apple air book is 3 days old, I try to connect to my router, and my cell phone using wifi, and both connection tell me my connection has timed out,... How can I fix this problem?

try going to settings>wi-fi then click the blue arrow next to your network name. Select Renew Lease then Forget this Network then re-connect. That may help.

[SOLVED] Asus 1005PE ethernet | Atheros AR8132 | dhcpcd eth0:timed out

Hello, this was solved through the following process BUT:
pacman -Syu updated my system and kernel. After that update I needed
to reverse the line that I changed before in rc.conf. I change it back to
MODULes=() [removed !atl1c atl1e] which leads to atl1c being loaded
autmoatically. Seems they fixed the problem in a update.
These threads helped me:
( I )http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=78891
( II )http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-n … aunty.html
Current driver for AR8132:
( III )AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.6.tar.gz http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx
Hardware:
Asus eeePC 1005PE with Atheros AR8132 ethernet device.
uname -r:
2.6.30-ARCH
Problems:
eth0 not showing up at ifconfig
ethernet device not showing up at lspci
at boot error ar "Start Network"
dhcpcd: timed out
ridiculous count of errors Tx, Rx ..
Removing battery and power cord for a while and then booting without lan cable helped
recognizing the ethernet device at lspci (and eth0 at ifconfig if I remeber right). Plugging
the lan cable produced a high count of errors at Tx, Rx.
(II)
Get the driver (III) and get it ready(II):
tar -xzvf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.6.tar.gz
cd src
make
make install
(the note about "#define IRQ_HANDLED 1" (II) wasn't necessary for me. My guess is they updated the driver and it is no longer necessary.)
edit the /etc/rc.conf, prevent atl1c from loading, add atl1e:
MODULES=(!atl1c atl1e) [should look similar to this]
reboot
After reboot the error "dhcpcd: timed out" or "eth0: interface not found or invalid" was fixed,
"ping -c 3 www.google.com" was successful.
lsmod shows atl1e and ifconfig shows eth0.
I hope this is useful to someone, it took me a while to figure it out.

I think I saw the lan device recognised once, but rebooting doesn't help.
I read WPA encryption makes WLAN more complicated so I hope you can help me out with my wired connection.

This is already in my rc.conf:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MODULES=()
USELVM="no"
HOSTNAME="newton"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond)
I don't see lines missing there.
Unplugging the power cord and removing the battery for some minutes helped somehow (found that odd tip through google). I booted without the lan cable connected and the Atheros AR8132 / L1c was recognized.
Got a new problem then. /etc/rc.d/network restart leads to:
:: Stopping Network [DONE]
:: Starting Network [BUSY]
dhcpcd: timed out
[FAIL]
dhcpcd eth0 leads to:
dhcpcd: version 5.0.6 starting
dhcpcd: eth0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out
Suprisingly the 1005HA has the same ethernet device and should be working out of the box..

[Solved with dhcpcd-5.1.5-1] dhcpcd-5.1.4-1, timed out

Hello,
I experienced a timed out issue with the new release of dhcpcd. When launched, it indicates a time out, so it can't get information about the network. Downgrading to dhcpcd-5.1.3-1 is the only fix I found.
Is anyone else experiencing this upgrade issue ?

Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet Controller

I have the same problem. Thought it had something to do with the new version of dhcpcd, so I did a fresh install (it's a test machine), added dhcpcd in the IGNORE list and updated the system. The version of dhcpcd is 4.0.10-1 and the kernel is 2.6.32.3-1
Upon first reboot after the system update eth0 received an address, but every reboot since I experience the timeout problem. The DHCP server does acknowledge the test-machine, but the test-machine doesn't apply the address. Anyway it seems the problem isn't dhcpd as such, maybe a problem with a network driver in 2.6.32?
Edit:
Hmm.. There's 2 NIC's in the test-machine, but it seems random which module is loaded first and apparently what interface get the name eth0 and eth1. I remember that listing the modules in the right order in rc.conf can help, and upon reboot the test-machine correctly received a DHCP address! There's just one strange thing.. The 2. NIC (eth1) is set to a static address, but during my "debugging" I set it to DHCP so both NIC's should get an address from DHCP. However, when restarting the network ifconfig still reported that eth1 was set to the static address?? How could the static address be used when I commented that line out? As if rc.conf was not read?
Edit2:
So besides the weird static address thing (which doesn't matter now), DHCP works every time now when rebooting. BUT this is with the old dhcpcd. I haven't tried upgrading it and dhcpcd is still ignored in pacman.conf. Now that the test-machine is behaving I think I'll let it be, sorry to be such a chicken.. I'll keep an eye on this issue and hope it'll work with a new version of dhcpcd soon.

Yesterday my ipod touch 4g would connect and to wifi and i was able to go on safari and search etc. but last night at 11 pm it would say that it was connected to wifi but wouldn't connect to safari it would say request timed out

it would say request timed out so i restored my ipod erased and reset it hoping it would delete the problem but it was still there it says that it is connected to wifi but will not launch safari and will bring up that message request timed out. itunes app store anything that uses internet/wifi will not work. it is not in airplane mode and wifi is on. i also forgot to mention this but it would also sometimes say that it is not connected to the internet even though i have 3 bars of wifi.

The router itself will always be sending a signal to devices connected to it. The router could not even be connected to your modem and it will still show that you have a connection on your device. Check your router config, reset it, and if all fails, contact your internet service provider.

My wifi keeps saying it is timing out wont stay connected

My MacBook Pro is only 5 months old and just yesterday it started timing out on wifi connection it connects then disconnects in 1 sec.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

Hammer USB HD timing out. How to change time out value?

Hi:
My new Hammer USB 500 Gig portable hard drive does not mount. USB probe log gives these error message:
33.929 [1] AppleUSBEHCI[0x177d800]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 91, timing out!
68.941 [3] AppleUSBHub[0x17a4400]::TimeoutOccurred error
The drive mounts on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.5, but neither Finder nor Disk Utility can see the drive on my Powerbook running 10.4.11.
Hammer tech help says the drive takes as much as 7 minutes to mount. I did notice that it took some time on the iMac.
Any ideas? Can I change the time out constant somehow?
By the way the drive requires more than 500 miliamps to start up. I have a double USB cable that does bring the drive up, but my Powerbook won't mount it.
Thanks,
Carl Carlson

Hi Carl, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Self powered USB drives are a big problem, I think the only answer is a Powered USB Hub.

Tried loading the latest version of itunes but the download would not complete. Now when I connect my phone to a usb i get an error stating required files are missing, reinstall itunes. I tried that but the reinstall keeps timing out?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

If you see the white WiFi bars in the upper left corner, that simply means that the iPad has detected a WiFi network, and that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet.
