Combining bandwidth of two wireless cards

Hi, I have a mac mini c2d which comes with a built in b/g network. recently ive upgraded to a new N router for which i bought a new llinksys usb key (N Netowrk operating on 5 ghz). the problem is that this connection seems to be cutting in and out, mainly i beleive due to no linksys/apple drivers directly from manufacturer due to whcih i had to use the ralink drivers widely mentioned in forums, but they seem unstable whereafter a while of high bandwidth usage the connection stalls and i have to unplug/replug the usb key. there seems to be no fix for this, and i was wondering if its possible for me to somehow configure the mac to combine the bandwidth of the usb key wireless n and built in wireless adapter (which i currently keep off). this way if my wireless n stalls, while certain high bandwidth processes will stop such as streaming hd content off network, atleast browsing and music will continue making this less of a problem. is this somehow possible?

another note, i have my original router (linksys wrt 54g with dd wrt) running the G network, which si what my built in wireless card ould connect to, while my new router (a linksys wrt610n) is configured to only run 5 ghz N network (as my research and reviews suggested using one mode results in faster wireless network than using it in multi mode). the new N network is connected to via my linksys wusb600n usb key on mini.

Networkmanager with two wireless cards

Since I upgraded to 3.10 I can not turn off one of my cards. I have the PCI that came with the computer, and I also have a USB card. Previously I could turn one off, and just use the other, now I either turn both one, or none.
Any help would be appreciated

You could try to blacklist the module if it is different from the other card.

Fujitsu Amlio Li 2735 Wireless card issues

Hello,
I have a laptop that I want to run Arch Linux but I have a issue that I do run into with many Linux distros, not just Arch in particular. The issue is that Fujitsu have made it that my wireless card does not automatically start on boot and it does not have a physical switch on the laptop, what you have to do (For windows at least) is have a application installed that allows you to enable the card. Now this software is only avalible on Windows, not Linux but, Ubuntu and Debian based distros seem to be able to automatically enable the card on boot. This does not happen however in other distros like CentOs.
So I know that it is possible to get the drivers working under linux but I have no idea how to get them working in Arch and preferably in the live cd install although, I can install the base system through other means but I would like to use the internal card.
From lspci | grep -i net it is identified as:
Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 04)
And from iwconfig
wlp8s0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any
Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off FragmentL thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
ip link set wlp8s0 up does nothing and dmesg | grep firmware produces no output.
(I do know there is a hardware 'modification' that you can perform to break contact with one of the pins on the wireless card but I would rather leave that as a last resort)
Any help is appreciated and I hope you can solve my issue.

The easiest way to figure it out is to boot a Ubuntu live cd, and check dmesg for what is enabling your wireless card, then check the configurations associated with that event and translate them to your arch setup.
Edit: You might want to also run "rfkill list" and see if it really is a hard lock that is preventing the card from working.
The card seems to have a soft lock on it.
I did today somehow manage to get the card to work on Arch but I am not 100% how or why is started enabled, I'm guessing it was somehow enabled from this morning when I used a liveUSB LMDE.
Anyway, this is the dmesg I get under that live USB:

Regarding the softblock, I spent the last hour or two trying to get it working and found I could just run: rfkill unblock 0
Excuse my Linux noobines, I don't usually spend a lot of time getting my wifi working via CLI.
But on a final note, it there a way to get this to work on start up? Via bash scripts of similar?

[SOLVED] Problem with Networkmanager and two WiFi cards

I have two WiFi cards, one onboard my laptop, one USB. I use the USB one since gets a stronger signal, but the other one tries to connect.
Is there a way of stoping that.
I don't want to cancel the possibility of using it, just when I plug the USB antenna.
Thank you

How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses

I will be greatful if you could answer me this question...
How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses?
I know that you can use two credit cards to pay an item but the problem is that i can only put the billing address of just one of the credit cards, and since the two cards are from different people (my parents) i can't do it. They live in the same place so i don't know if i should just put one of the billing address.
Thank you.
PS. I don't know if this is the right community to ask this, sorry if i'm wrong.

On the Apple Store "Payment & Pricing" page it states:
Using more than one payment card
You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:
Credit card(s) - up to two
Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
Apple Gift Card(s) + one credit card
During checkout, if you are paying with a gift card issued by a credit card company, you can combine it with one credit card.

One Printer - two wireless routers, and one Airport Express

Hi all,
I'll do my best to describe this convoluted situation in detail, please feel free to ask questions—I need all the help I can get.
I am in an office with 5 Macs (some with wireless capabilities: my Intel iMac, a Mac mini, an eMac with a wireless card, and a new iMac running OSx 10.5) and one eMac with no wireless capabilities.
We're all connected to an Actiontec router. The one eMac is hard-wired via ethernet to the router and the rest of us receive the signal wirelessly through an 2' thick concrete wall that makes for a slow connection. Our printer, an OKIdata C3200N, is also hard-wired via Ethernet to the router, which allows us wireless Macs to print on a crappy, slow connection.
I got fed up with the slowness and brought in an Airport Express, which is now also hard-wired to the ethernet port and seamlessly and easily connects all the wireless-capable Macs to the internet. It's a joy. However, whenever we wanted to print, we had to switch to the slower Actiontec network b/c the printer was not connected to the Aiport Express.
I figured I could remedy this by plugging a USB printer cable from the printer to the AX and all the wireless Macs would automatically find the printer through Bonjour. It seemed like a good plan; though I was worried that the printer would be confused by having both the Ethernet connection AND the AX connection (this could be the case).
Now, I have been able to be on the AX network, find the printer via Bonjour (with Printer Sharing turned on). However, when I print to it (or any of the other Macs in the office try to print to it) a variety of errors happens:
...the printer jobs are paused and will not resume (this happens on the iMac running OSX 10.5)
...the print queue spools and says "waiting to complete job"
Do I need to configure something through the Airport Admin Utility? Is this a lost cause because the printer is connected two ways to our computers? Is there any hope for printing on the AX connection?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Message was edited by: slobhan (to format error messages)

Thank you so much Duane. Can you clarify what you mean by:
I would recommend returning the printer connection to the original configuration.
Thanks! I'll look up the other stuff about AX as a bridge (now to remember that AX admin password....)
Thanks!

[SOLVED]Arch not acknowledging wireless card.

So Im a returning user, feel like a total newb again.
I recently purchased an "Asus k53sv-xr1"
The wireless card inside is "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100," I determined this by installing the proper driver in windows and checking the device manage (as asus could not answer my question as to the model number and the spec indicate "integrated blahblahblah"
Following the "Wireless Setup Instructions" I did the following (filling the xs' with their respective version numbers)
"Installing Firmware (Microcode)
Important: Installing these firmware packages is not required since the 2.6.34 kernel update, when the firmware files were moved to the linux-firmware package.
If you need wireless connectivity to access pacman's repositories, the firmware files are also available direct from Intel. See this page, select and download the archive.
$ wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-XXXX-ucode-XXX.XX.X.XX.tgz"
After downloading, you must extract and copy the *.ucode file to the firmware directory, commonly /lib/firmware
# tar zxvf iwlwifi-XXXX-ucode-XXX.XX.X.XX.tgz
# cd iwlwifi-XXXX-ucode-XXX.XX.X.XX/
# cp iwlwifi-XXXX-X.ucode /lib/firmware/"
The wireless setup manual goes on to say that
"If MOD_AUTOLOAD is set to yes in /etc/rc.conf (it is by default) that should be all that is required. Simply check for the presence of the drivers by running ip addr from a terminal. There should be a listing for wlan0."
My outputs are the following

If anything I have (re)learned some things about whats going on, which...ultimately led to more questions.
First these two snippets led me to some interesting ideas.
"Installing Firmware (Microcode)
Important: Installing these firmware packages is not required since the 2.6.34 kernel update, when the firmware files were moved to the linux-firmware package.
If you need wireless connectivity to access pacman's repositories, the firmware files are also available direct from Intel. See this page, select and download the archive."
From the "Wireless Setup" Wiki
and
"Using kernels 2.6.24 and up
These kernels have the iwlwifi driver included and the released drivers (available from this site under download page) do not work with these kernels. If you want to run the latest (or very close to it) development code with your kernel then you should use the compat-wireless project that retrieves the latest driver development code from the upstream repository. We do push our changes to this repository very frequently."
Which means that the firmware I downladed from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi, would not work.
I reinstalled, this time including the all the "iwl" packages from the "dev" section of the packages.
The result was the same.
dmesg | grep -i iw
would report nothing at all
until i input the command
modprobe iwlagn
then dmesg | grep -i iw would report
iwlagn: Intel(r) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for linux, 2.6.33-ARCH-ks
iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2009 Intel Corporation
I really wanted to figure this out the arch way, but I can find little to no threads on my specific card.."Intel Centrino N-100 Wireless"
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I will boot the ubuntu live cd and hope that wireless is automatically configured, that way I can at the very least, attempt to figure out what model card it reports and try again with that information.
My question, other than "can anyone provide some insight as to why the system can detect the card, but not be able to bring wlan0 up", is can modprobe insert modules that do not correspond with what is actually in the machine?
Thank you

Problems connecting two wireless rooters without cable.

How do I set two Roter, if one is already configured.
The other is a model Edimax BR-6504n.
For the first Roter I know the MAC address and no password ... I connect with any laptop without the password, I am interested in someone who knows better to enlighten me.
I know from the manual that the rooter supports the following options:
AP
AP Bridge-Point to Point
AP Bridge-Point to Multi Point
AP Bridge-WDS
And in the MAC section of the AP Bridge-Point to Point I put the MAC of the first rooter, and here is the problem cause I do not know the channel of the first rooter. Is there a program or something that find the channel.
I have access only to the second rooter.
And it is important what options to set so that i reduce the number of combination to try when i put the channel.
What option should I put to the LAN? to make the ip different from the first rooter?
IP of first rooter: 192.168.2.100-200 I think this are the range ip of the first rooter.
Should I put the second rooter IP in another range like 192.168.1.*.* or leave it to 192.168.2.*.*?
The problem is that I must link them wireless not by wire.
So how do I connect the second rooter to the first so that I can extend the range of the wireless.
For those interested, here is found the user manual.
http://www.edimax.com/en/support_detail ... 2&pl1_id=1
Or just download the attached file.

In this mode, you canconnect your wireless rooter with another, to combine two access points and expend the scope of the wireless network, and all clients of two wireless rooter will think they'rw on the same physical network.....etc see the image below.
So i think it must work...but i du not know how to config them.
Look in this section.

Two video cards issue

Any fix for the "Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth" when having two video cards issue?

Now, the strange thing is: after a few initial issues one of the macs is doing fine. The second one, on the contrary, is a nightmare. Finalcut gives a green screen of death and hangs up suddenly while performing simple operations (like dropping a clip on the timeline).
I'm thinking of trying to replace the two video cards with an older single dual display card, and giving up the fancy lcd monitors (that i bought at vast cost), at least until apple issues an upgrade that adresses the two video card problem. <
If the machines are mechanically equal, it's obviously not the cards. Although you can only be absolutely certain if you swap the cards between machines and see if the green screen issue follows one or both cards.
However, that new LCD display and card combination doesn't have much time in the pipeline so there could be other issues and you're doing the beta testing for all of us. Blaming the reseller is pointless; no one can keep track of all of these issues. We only find out about them only because of reported failures.
You should research the "green screen" here on the forum. I do not recall if there are display or graphics cards issues associated with it. That seems unlikely. IIRC, it appears to be a QT issue.

How can I select which channel the wireless card on the Macbook Pro uses?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro which must be 5-6 years old running OS ver10.5.8 with the following wireless card details..
Wireless Card Type:          AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Locale:          Worldwide
Wireless Card Firmware Version:          1.4.16.2
Current Wireless Network:          ML MC
Wireless Channel:          6
.. and a Time Capsule running firmware ver 7.6.1.
We recently installed a faster broadband connection and for some reason the pc’s (recent purchases) we have are regularly getting a 37Gb max download speed and the MacBook Pro is regularly getting only 19Gb max download speed. All the computers are connecting through the same Time Capsule to the net. On the Time Capsule the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidths are set so the channel is selected automatically.
Is the max download speed on the MacBook pro slower because of the wireless card in it? And if so, how can I check? Could I manually adjust it to a faster setting?
Thanks,
Simon

Channels are managed by the router and the automatic settings on your TC is about right - unless you have general WiFi issues.
Your slower speed is down to the older Airport card in your MBP.

Kernel panic with PCMCIA wireless cards.

UDEV throws a kernel panic when I insert either of two wireless PCMCIA wireless cards.
UDEV version 106 and the latest kernel 2.6.20. Both wireless cards worked just fine previously
so I'm sure it's a problem caused by upgrading.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with PCMCIA cards?
-A

Seems about rite but my system works foro some time and then at some random point freezes... guess it could be the same issue tho.
So its out of arch dev hands and needs a kernel update? Am i right to assume that next time kernel updates its the right time to try 20 series again?
Yeah im drunk, tried to check for typing tho ^^

Configuring wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI

I'm not a newbie in linux but now faced with a trouble. I could not manage to set up the card properly. I just installed Arch 0.8 and it's not quite clear to me how to do this with Arch. I've read all available Arch's docs on this topic.
So my situation's the following:
I have the wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI and I've been using it with Slackware for a year. It works quite fine. But now, when I decided to move to Arch - I cannot set it up. My card's using `airo` module and it is loading well. All the present network devices are recognized. I can see this by ifconfig -a.
I have 2 NICs in my system:
1) simple Ethernet card - eth0. Is switched off in rc.conf
2) wireless. There are 2 different devices for it in my system: eth1 and wifi0 (and it's correct). I don't know why is it so and how about this with other wireless cards.
For example I placed here network configs from my Slackware which works well with them and expect your advice on how to do the same with Arch.
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
##IPADDR[0]="" #wired NIC is off
##NETMASK[0]=""

Who is aware - please describe or give me a link on this, how the two devises eth1 and wifi0 are connected to each other and how to set them up in Arch.
Thnx.

Excellent! It works! Thank U very much.
My conclusion - /etc/network-profiles/ is much more suitable way/place to set your wireless network parameters even it's quite steady.
And now I have a couple of extra questions:
1) What should I do with actual network parameters in rc.conf? Currently they looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
NET_PROFILES=(tier)
and that looks and works OK. What about gateway? Should I comment it here or not?
2)Though everything works fine now, I can see that wifi0 device is not listed by ifconfig now (only by iwconfig), but in my Slackware system it is. Don't have I to mention my wifi0 device in network profile's section:
#WIFI_INTERFACE=wlan0 # use this if you have a special wireless interface
# that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
Thnx!
And sorry for ugly English

Connectivity Issues WRT54G router and 2915ABG Dell wireless card

My wife and I both have Dell Inspiron 600m laptops with nearly the same setup: XP Pro, 2915ABG wireless cards, and the wireless connection is controlled through ProSet Wireless. We have Comcast and connect to a WRT54G wireless router. The router has WPA enabled, MAC address filtering, and the latest Firmware.
I have no trouble connecting to or remaining connected to the router. Her machine connects to the wireless, but randomly loses connection (sometimes it's connected for hours and other times it losses connection in the first five minutes). When I watch the ProSet wireless event viewer, it only says "link down."
To attempt to fix this problem, I have:
played with the router's settings including changing channels
updated her drivers
allowed windows to control the wireless card
reset the router
updated the router's firmware
None of these actions have fixed the problem. The only real differences between the two machines is that I did the following to mine:
My machine was the one that initially set up the wireless router
I used the Comcast install CD on my machine (then deleted all the *junk* that was installed by the CD).
I would like to avoid using the Comcast install CD on her machine because no one needs the extra junk they install. I did set up her machine according to the internet on how to set up Comcast without the CD.
I am trying to figure out if the problem is with the router or with her hardware. Thank you,
Michael

Try upgrading the firmware on the router.
For information on upgrading the firmware on the linksys routers :

Satellite P75-A7200 Wireless Card Upgrade

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has upgraded their Wireless Card in their Satellite P75-A7200. Until I got it home, I didn't realize that it was only a single band card and doesn't support 5ghz wireless N which is all I run my network on at home for bandwidth purposes since my neighborhood is flooded with 2.4 ghz users. It appears its a simple swap to change, but I need to know if if the Antennas support 5ghz.
According to Intel's Docs:
"Before installing Intel® wireless adapters supporting IEEE* 802.11a, verify with the laptop manufacturer that the laptop includes a 5GHz (802.11a) capable antenna..."
I was going to switch it out with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth
I'm just not sure about the midle antenna port that the 6300 has since the P75-A7200 only has 2 wireless
Attached is what adapter I currently have installed. (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230)
Any help is appreciated. I am a very technical person, so I'm not a noob at this. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was finally able to extract the screw very gently with a power drill and #1 screw extractor. I then installed the new card in under 15 seconds. Booted right up and I had 5gz connectivity with upwards pf 160mbps (and I'm not even close to the router). No need to update any drivers. Definitly worth the $30 investment. Thanks to priuscat for providing the information on what card to get.
Attached is exactly how the new card looks from Amazon
