Can't get Wireless up from Core, sitting here like wtf mate?

Hey all
I'm not a newcomer to Linux in general, having been tinkering with it pretty consistently for about four years now, but this is my first attempt at Arch. Basically everybody on every forum who repped Arch was so Raving Fan about it that I had to give it a try. Read it does well on older hardware, which this qualifies as:
IBM Thinkpad 380XD
300mhz PII Processor
96mb SDRAM
3 gig HD
I'm using a Lucent Technologies Orinoco PCMCIA card, which I know works with WEP because I used it under Puppy (maybe there was some kind of special transient firmware fix? Can't recall...)
I've got Core installed and I've followed all the instructions on the Wireless Setup - Arch Wiki page.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup
I'm actually already familiar with the commands and the process since at the basic level they're the same as with Puppy Linux, which I was running on this system before the last HD wrecked.
I'm manually typing responses of the system since it's not online and I seem to be having difficulty in copying data to the USB stick I'm using, so I can't paste the output directly.
lspci kicks back:
Socket 0 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: ....)
Socket 0 Device 0: [orinoco_cs] (bus ID: ...)
when I plug in the device, dmesg | tail shows:
Firmware determiend as Lucent/Agere 7.28
Ad0hoc demo mode suported
IIEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported
WEP supported, 104-bit key
MAC address ....
Station name "HERMES I"
etho: ready
orinoco_cs at 0.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f
eth0 shows up on ifconfig, and iwconfig. I can even pass the correct essid and key to iwconfig, which subsequently shows up in iwconfig | eth0. Plus, one of the two lights on the card comes on when I give it the right essid and key (without the right key/code the light doesn't come on).
But running dhcpcd results in a time-out, and running iwlist scan says
Failed to read scan data ; Resource temporarily unavailable.
I've restarted, I've switched PCMCIA ports, I even tried my other Orinoco card but it didn't have the firmware so no linux will even touch it.
I've tried modprobe -r orinoco_cs then modprobe orinoco_cs to reinstall it, ifconfig eth0 down and up, and every combination of the above I've been able to think about.
Please give a recommendation. Arch seems really promising and I need this system up for my main note-taking computer at school! (My eeepc was stolen...bastards...)

I was chatting on #aircrack-ng and psycho_oreos pointed me to this
Maybe it will help..
09:12:41 < Daenyth> the orinoco one is assy, I can't even iwlist scan
09:12:55 < psycho_oreos> Daenyth, that and the ability to do 802.11g modes.. I'm presuming you have ar5212abg.. which also means 802.11a as well
09:13:09 < Daenyth> psycho_oreos: lspci tells me I have AR5001x+
09:13:12 < psycho_oreos> orinoco can scan, you just have to choose the right firmware
09:13:36 < Daenyth> psycho_oreos: oh really? If you could point me to any info on that, I would _much_ appreciate it.. right now when I roam I use airodump and filter for OPN
09:13:54 < Daenyth> it works, but it's not fun
09:14:07 < psycho_oreos> Daenyth, I've documented a bit on backtrack's wiki, however I too myself never bothered to flash it personally, you need windows to do it
09:14:16 < Daenyth> ugh
09:14:21 < Daenyth> that's not polite
09:14:26 < Daenyth> hrmm... would vmware work?
09:14:30 < Daenyth> I don't own any windows machines
09:15:03 < psycho_oreos> Daenyth, http://backtrack.offensive-security.com … _High_Rate
09:15:17 < psycho_oreos> only with usb should one use vmware
09:15:26 < Daenyth> hmm, no go then
09:15:36 < Daenyth> well thanks a lot, that gives me something to look into.
09:15:39 < psycho_oreos> I've got all the firmwares and stuff for it but never got around testing it
09:16:28 < Daenyth> where do you get the firmware?
09:16:43 < psycho_oreos> I've listed the links on that link I just posted
09:16:58 < psycho_oreos> but the firmware, you can't flash it via linux I believe, they are all .exe binary blobs
09:17:12 < Daenyth> ahh thanks
09:17:20 < Daenyth> wonder if wine could do it...
09:17:52 < psycho_oreos> wine might be able to do it but I wouldn't risk bricking it
09:18:10 < Daenyth> well my dad has a partly windows laptop.. I'll try that
09:18:44 < psycho_oreos> Daenyth, if you have any success, I'd like to hear about it I need to do something similar with a pair of hermes I cards I got
09:19:02 < Daenyth> will do
09:19:08 < psycho_oreos> and I'm not sure about using win2k, you might need win98
09:19:15 < Daenyth> uh... hrm
09:19:22 < Daenyth> well it's winXP MCE
09:19:33 < psycho_oreos> *shrug* might work

  • Can't get wireless signal from Airport Express

    I recently bought an Airport Extreme and Airport Express. The base station is in my office which is separate from my house so I bought an antenna from Macwireless.com. I'm able to play iTunes thru the Express perfectly but there's no wireless signal coming from the Express to connect to the internet. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?
    After reading some other posts I found that my old wireless system wasn't acting up at all. It was Mac OS X 10.4.10. causing the disconnections to the internet. Great. Just great.

    I'm able to play iTunes thru the Express perfectly but there's no wireless signal coming from the Express to connect to the internet. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?
    If you have the Express and Extreme in a single Network there will be only one available network name to join. In that single wireless network the Express can be set up to extend range of network by using WDS, or simply as a wireless client that can print or use iTunes. If you check the Airport Utility help files it will give full documentation on how to set up either type of wireless network.

  • WRT54GS v4 developed increasing lag, now it can't get an IP from the modem at all.

    I am connected wirelessly to my WRT54GS v4 over WPA2, and it's worked very well for years. About 2 days ago, the router started developing serious lag. Some web pages (CNN, Google, etc) would time out only to work OK 10 seconds later (or not.) A traceroute to the offending domain would show my second hop as timing out, with all other hops < 80ms. Sometimes I'd get 3 webpages (all on different sites) hanging at the same time, only to finally display 20 seconds later simultaneously.
    That was all on firmware 1.06.1. I just upgraded successfully to 1.06.3, with absolutely no change. I held reset for more than 30 seconds with no change.
    The router looks like it can't get an IP from the modem at all. Clicking the DHCP Renew button in the web interface just bounces back to the same page but doesn't show that it's picked up a valid IP address.
    If I plug into my cable modem directly from my laptop, the connection is awesomely fast with zero hangs or hesitation.
    Can *anyone* help me please?

    I was able to fix my problem by following alllll the instructions on this page: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4572&p_created=11658...
    I also remembered that I had been resetting my cable modem (by power-cycling it) once or twice a day because it was losing its signal. I wonder if that was part of the problem?

  • How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

    How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
    Question for 4/18 experts ...
    Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
    I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011.  Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
    Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band.  It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band  5GHZ wireless N.   I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
    I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001.  In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230.  Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card.   I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030.  So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem.  Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
    So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s.   And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it. 
    But will it work??
    First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts,  work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific  laptop.  I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance.   I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
    Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's.  When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires.  And it worked.   I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230.   Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
    Thanks for any suggestions.  The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards. 

    I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7.  It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz.  Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list".  Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards.  I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem. 

  • How can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc

    how can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc . i have A NEW IPAD I WANT TO TRANSFER THE MUSIC ONTO

    When connected to your computer's iTunes you can use File > Transfer Purchases to copy over any music (and other content) that you've bought from Apple. For music that you've copied from your own CDs or bought from other download sites then is it not already on your computer and/or on a backup that you can copy onto your computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off the phone.
    And there is no need to SHOUT.

  • Can i get wireless access with a 10.4.11

    Can I get wireless access on the internet with a Dual core intel processor 10.4.11

    If it has an Airport card fitted, yes.
    It's very likely it already has, but to be certain, go to the Apple menu > "about this Mac" > More info
    Under Network in the left pane you'll see Airport' select that and it'll tell you what card is fitted (if any).
    You should also have in the menu bar on the right a pie-slice type symbol; click that and you'll get the option to switch on airport if it's present.
    You'll need to set it up in Network Preferences to connect to your wi-fi router.

  • How can i get all values from jtable with out selecting?

    i have one input table and two output tables (name it as output1, output2). Selected rows from input table are displayed in output1 table. The data in output1 table is temporary(means the dat wont store in database just for display purpose).
    Actually what i want is how can i get all values from output1 table to output2 table with out selecting the data in output1 table?

  • Can you get values back from a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters?

    Can you get values back from calling a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters/variables? I call the SP via a SQL statement from a script either in a WF or DF.
    I thought I read some reference that DI could not get the values from OUTPUT parameters but I could not find it again (don't know if it is in any of the documentation or referred to in a forum.
    I did try a couple of tests but it did not reutrn any values via OUTPUT. But before I give up I thought I'd see if you could and maybe I needed to change something.

    This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but I'll point out that, given that you're resorting to a SQL script in the first place, there's no reason you can't also turn the output parameters into a regular result or record set. (The following uses T-SQL, although I think it's pretty generic.)
    declare @param1 int, param2 varchar(100), @return int;
    exec @return = proc @param1 = @param1 output, @param2 = @param2 output;
    select @param1 as param1, @param2 as param2;
    That is, to get from output parameters to a "regular" output from the SQL script isn't much of a leap...

    A. Safwat,
    As I said before, I was not trying to be offensive, but simply to explain some of the shortcomings of one solution over another. One of the reasons people give such short answers is that many questions (including this one) have been asked and answered many many many times before on the forum. As to my reasons:
    1). Overkill - overkill because you are writing code to do what the framework already provides for you.
    2). Not bind-variable friendly - you are gluing in literals into a SQL statement. That means that Oracle will have to hard parse the query for each new value of the filter clause, yielding to poor performance, particularly in a multiuser environment. It should ideally be done using bind variables.
    3). Insecure (think about what happens if you put "'xyz' or 1=1" into the filterValue there) - not using bind variables is a security hole. Think through what happens if a filter criteria comes through like the one I mentioned.
    4). Inflexible - because you are overriding executeQueryForCollection, this VO becomes inflexible and can only be used in this particular place. Using the declarative approach outlined by Timo is more flexible
    5). Bad (ok, that's my opinion there) - OK, perhaps this was a bit offensive ;)
    Please don't take a critique of a post as offensive, as I assure you it was not intended to be in that spirit. As I mentioned, I greatly appreciate when people point out issues/problems/etc with my ideas, as that is the best way for me to learn. I have in the past written applications that were not bind-variable friendly, and I learned the downsides the hard way (system was horribly non-performant) - I wish someone had reviewed my approach and told me "bad idea" before the application made it into production.
    Respectfully,
    John

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.
