Bridging WiFi and ethernet cards not working

My setup is that I have a laptop with both a wifi card and an ethernet card that can connect to the network via wifi. I also have a desktop with no wifi card that I want to use on the network. I have the two connected via an ethernet cable. I want to bridge the wired and wireless connections on my laptop so that my desktop can be on the same network. When I do this, however, problems arise on the wifi. According to iwconfig, it can connect to the network, but when I run dhcpcd on the wireless interface it times out on waiting for carrier. The bridging in WIndows works fine, but I'd rather not reboot just for this task. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? I am running a bcm4312 wifi card if it helps.

Wifi and ethernet are not working

Hello guys,
I'm using Mac Mini (Latest 2012) on OSX Mavericks and having a problem with my internet connection. Somehow it just didn't work, the internet connection works perfectly on my iPhone and my Android.
I already tried to reset the network setting that has been discussed many times but simply didn't work on me.
When i use ethernet and wifi connection it always showd yellow dot on 3 bottom criteria on diagnostics.
Can anyone please help me?

It's not clear whether you tried an Ethernet connection alone. If you do that be sure to temporarily disable Wi-Fi to eliminate confusion.
Apple's Wireless Diagnostics may supply some additional helpful information.
To use it, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
The following authentication dialog will appear:
Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and click Continue:
Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in additional information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
Click Continue.
The next step will also take a few minutes:
When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you:
The above result is uninteresting, but if there are additional actions for you to consider they would be included in the screenshot above.
The WirelessDiagnostics-xxx.tar.gz file deposited on your Desktop can be dragged to the Trash, or you may wish to expand it and examine its contents. It's up to you.

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

Thanks,

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

HT6146 my wifi and bluetooth is not working what sholud i do

when i upadte my iphone 4 in ios 7.1.1 my wifi and bluetooth is not working
what should i do ?? :(

What doesn't work?
What problem are you having?
Remember for the iPhone to see and connect to Bluetooth devices they must be in, "Discovery Mode".

WiFi or Ethernet do not work!

I Have a Macbook and the Wi Fi or Ethernet will not work. I renew DHCP lease and the internet works for 10 seconds than I have to renew it again. I have 2 more Macs and they work fine. I have two routers and this computer has the same problem with both. Is there a way to solve this?
I have notice that a lot of people have had this problem has anyone resolved this issue.
So far this is what I have tryed:
Macintosh> Library> Preferences> SystemConfiguration (deleting all documents in this last folder).
-reseting router
-Macbook Software update
-Flush DNS cache using Terminal (dscacheutil -flushcache)
-holding Command+Option+P+R during restart until hearing another chime
-airport on/off
-removed airport and added again from Network Preferences
-Network>Advanced (deleted Preferred Networks and also from Keychains)

I had to convert the official ISO before it would boot happily as a USB on my used Air I've just got, I followed the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … B_from_ISO including the suggestion below to use rEFInd instead of gummiboot and it worked for me.

TS1559 Wifi and bluetooth is not working on iOS 7.0.2

Its disappointing to see crazy bugs even after a .0.2 release. All the work rounds fail

I Am IT support for a large Company also using iPhone 4s. I can confirm this issue as employee's start upgrading to iOS7.0.2 Bluetooth and wifi working fine on iOS 6.x as soon as upgrade to 7.0.2 Wifi Toggle greyed out, No wifi MAC address, bluetooth not working.
Have tried all suggestions on various forums to no avail .
Even a DFU recovery and set up as a new iPhone failes to fix the issue.
Have advised users if they have this issue to return the phones to Apple.
Also discussing with Other IT collegues in company to send out a bulletine asking employees NOT to upgrade to iOS 7 at this stage.
Whilst my company iPhone upgraded fine, it would appear not all do. I suspect different versions of the WIFI and Bluetooth hardware would be the cause of this issue. This would explaine why some upgrade ok and others do not.

Satellite C660-13R - Wireless and Ethernet do not work after format

Hello there,
I just formatted my laptop and I only get Internet connection with a usb wireless antenna...
Neither ethernet, nor wireless seem to work. Before the format it worked fine.
Here is the product
http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-c660-13r/
Please help with a solution...
Should I consider death of the adapter and stop trying?

Ok you have formatted your laptop but we don't know what have you installed and which OS version do you use.
As I can see in notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Windows 7. This original version (recovery image) contains all necessary drivers and every hardware component is installed and configured properly so everything should work well.
It is very important to know what have you installed and what is teh status of communication devices like LAN and WLAN cards. If both devices are installed properly LAN should work without any limitation but WLAN card must be enabled and I don't see the reason why you should not be able to connect your machine using WLAN connection.
If possible post some detailed info about preinstalled OS version and hardware status.

Bridging wifi and ethernet; bring interface up with netcfg

using bridge-utils I was able to establish a bridge between my ethernet port and my wireless interface. My wireless interface is the source of the Internet connection on the computer, and the ethernet port is going to send that Internet connection to a nearby computer. My questions are:
Is it possible to bring this bridge up via netcfg, so that the wireless interface connects to the desired router?
If not, how can I use a bridge to bring up a wireless Internet connection using other applications, so that I can write a script to trigger it when I need it?

So I had this working for a while, and lately I've been using it to bring Internet access to my Xbox 360, which is even more distant from the main router than the desktop I had been using. It is also a much better use of the bridging in economical terms, since the wireless component for the Xbox is $100 (price gouging jerks...).
Then yesterday I tried it and the Xbox wouldn't connect. After fiddling around, I found two things out:
1. Since the last time I connected the Xbox to the net, I had ran yaourt -Syu, which updated iptables from 1.4.5-x to 1.4.6-1
2. The specific issue is that, despite the following line in my "ethernet-xover" network profile...
POST_UP="iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE ; echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ; /etc/rc.d/iptables save ; /etc/rc.d/iptables restart"
... /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward isn't getting set to 1. Once I manually set it to 1, the connection works.
So I'd like to take this opportunity to peer review this profile, to a) see why echoing is failing, and b) find out if it is really necessary to restart iptables as shown here.

I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1 and now WIFI and Bluetooth do not work.

I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1. Immediately after doing this, my wifi is greyed out, (cannot even turn it on), and my bluetooth is not working at all. I have discussed with Apple several times and even went to an apple service center. They claim that I have a HW issue and that I must pay $200 for another phone. HAving been a cell phone HW designer for 15 years, I know this is not true. If this is a HW issue, it was caused by the FW update. There is a problem with my phone that is a direct result of the FW update. If I could go back to the previous version, I could prove it but there is no way for me to do that. So, it looks like iphone has released an update that "breaks" some phones. What an easy way to force people to pay them $200 for a new phone. Hmmm, if other electronic manufacturers catch on to this, we are screwed. Apple has seen the issues on the internet and has seen the issues reported on thier own Communities. They know that many people are reporting the same problem. If I can look it up, anyone can. They know that they have screwed up. So instead of biting the bullet and fixing what they broke, (peoples phones), they are taking advantage of the opportunity to make more money by telling people that they have a HW problem that they are not responsible for and that it is going to cost $200 to fix what Apple has screwed up. Just let me go back to the previous version of the IOS and my phone will work again. Is anyone else having this same issue? Has Apple lost it? I have been more than pleased with my phone. I have been thrilled with customer support. What is going on with apple? Samsung is looking better every minute.

Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

Since uploading iOS7.03 my iPhone 4S cannot get WiFi and Bluetooth is not working properly.

Why will my iPhone 4S not work properly since the iOS7.03 upgrade? No WiFi (greyed out, button will not move) and Bluetooth not working.

it's a well known issue.... wifi and bt died in many 4s.... one is mine..

Wifi and bluetooth are not working properly

When the lappy is situated near any wifi device then only it catches the signals other wise shows no network found.Same as the bluetooth some times get paired up but mostly not and when connected no data can be transferred between devices. some times get connected but for a while only, after it disconnect several times. Iam too much upset .i have bought it only a moth ago and finds this error. all the drivers are installed and working properly. Is this model have this issue ? or i am the only one suffering from it.

>Is it possible to switch the power WiFi module as before?
You have replaced the WLan module and this means that the hardware configuration has been changed. This means that the different module has affected the software functionality.
The new WLan/BT combo card BCM94313HMGB seems to be designed by Broadcom.
From my knowledge most Toshiba notebooks supports the Intel / Realtek or Atheros modules. Therefore I think there could be an compatibility issue between the FN button software and this module.
Maybe you could try to install the Broadcom driver once again to check if it helps, otherwise you have to forego that.

Internet sharing from Wifi to Ethernet is not working after Mountain Lion upgrade

First I was having trouble just connecting these two, now I can't get the Internet sharing to work. Here's what I am trying to do: I want to share my Macbook Pro's internet connection from it's Wifi to another laptop I have connected via ethernet cable. They will ping each other now. The problem now is that the laptop won't pick up the Internet connection from the Macbook Pro, even though I have it configured exactly as I had in Snow Leopard. Nothing has changed on the laptop from before when it worked fine with Snow Leopard. But now that I updated to Mountain Lion, Internet sharing no longer works no matter what I try. I've been trying to find a solution by to no avail. Could anyone here offering some advice or a solution that will fix my problem? I've been over the basic steps over and over again, so please don't ask me to do something stupid like reboot or check the Sharing settings. They're exactly how they are meant to be, but the thing just won't work.

Ran a TCPdump on my Macbook Pro. It is recieving the ping requests, but the laptop still isn't getting replies to its pings. So something is wrong in the Macbook's configuration somewhere. I don't know where, though.
