Dell Vostro 1400 - How to enable wifi?

I ran this (my wifi chipset is Broadcom, anyway) :
ifconfig wlan0 up
And the output was:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
So I followed the guide on this page, and stuck at this part:
FATAL: Module wl not found
Any idea?

Did you download the broadcom driver module from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514 ?
Perhaps this could help with that process: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR

Troubles with dell vostro 1400

recently buy a dell vostro 1400 with vista, first install ubuntu and then with internet install arch, but something strange happen with arch, the processor fan work too much, ok, runung kde s normal, but with an base install(no X,kde) the fan work at full, use cpudyn/cpufreq to control the speed but happen, with ubuntu not troubles, and even with vista the fan doesn work to much, only when see movies, but with arch even with init3 the fan enouth for me, meybe do something wrong or miss ??
currently my installation use cpudyn.

Is your CPU overheating? I'd install lm_sensors and see how high the temperature is going. You should do this for all three (Ubuntu, Arch, Vista) if you can and compare what the temperatures are. My guess is that the arch install just has a more cautious approach to cooling. If the temperature is staying constantly above 65C then that would be the problem. Try scaling your CPU down further using cpufreq. Check that it's working by doing as root:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
This will tell you what your current CPU speed is. If it never goes below maximum then that is the problem.

I have loaded this driver and added the newid=0x14e4 0x1713 but still
no luck. Still can not ping the Zenworks server or do anything. The
Network lights stay lit when it tries to obtain an IP address for eth0.
I read on another site that you need to update the initrd with the new
tg3.ko driver. I will try this later tonight and see what happens.

How to enable WiFi transfer from Canon Legria HF M52 to iMac

My iMac is a late 2012 model with Mountain Lion (v. 10.8.3).
Recently I bought a Canon Legria HF M52 camcorder which is WiFi enabled, and is capable of transferring videos (AVCHD/MP4) wireless. The camera package included software for WiFi transfer on Windows PC, but not for Mac. However, still, according to the instruction manual, it should be possible to transfer files wireless to Mac using the Mac as a FTP server. Though, following the instruction manual, I`m still not being able to transfer files from my camera to my Mac.
1. I know for a fact that the camera is correctly connected to the WiFi network, as I`ve managed to transfer files onto a friend´s Windows PC.
2. Video files are easily transferred to Mac using the USB cable (but the CABLE is what I want to avoid), both AVCHD/MP4.
3. Since Mountain Lion no longer has the option to enable/activate FTP server under "System Preferences/Sharing", I have enabled FTP via "Terminal" as described in this link; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4704.
4. Camera setup:
     - Use iMac IP address as "FTP server", 192.xxx.x.x (dynamic IP, so it is changed in camera setup if IP address is changed upon iMac reboot).
     - Port 21 (as dictated by the camera`s instruction manual).
     - Username / password as for the iMac admin account.
     - Destination folder; /User/Movies
5. I have verified connectivity from MBA to iMac connecting via IP address / username and password.
Still, when I try to transfer files from the camera, I get an error message while attempting to connect to the iMac; "An error occured during FTP communication. File transfer was not completed". Have made several attempts to reboot both iMac and camera.
Any tips on how to enable my iMac to receive video files wireless?

I guess those programs are intented for outgoing connections, not incoming connections?
Well, anyways, I managed to solve the problem. Just summing up in case others meet the same problem:
- Went to Apple Store and bought/installed "OS X Server".
- Followed the install wizard for the OS X Server.
- Under "FTP" in OS X Server, turned "On".
- Under sys prefs/sharing; make sure "Sharing" is activated (which already had been done in my case).
- Add folder, e.g. "Movies", and enable "read/write" for "everybody" (already done in my case).
- Back to the OS X Server; changed share to "Movies".
(you can change share options in OS X Server as well, the same way as under sys prefs.).
- Now over to the Canon camcorder;
     - Use the IP address for the Mac as the FTP server. Port 21.
     - Set up username/password as for the Mac admin account (not sure if required though).
     - Target folder just set to "/" (files transferred directly to "Movies").
With this setup, both AVCHD/MP4 movies were transferred easily to my mac.

Satellite A660-11M - How to enable WiFi?

Hi. I have a Satellite A660-11M with key features
-Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
-Intel Core i7-720QM Processor
Wifi:
Compliancy : Wi-Fi
Network Support : 802.11b/g/n
Manufacturer : Broadcom
Wireless Technology : Wireless LAN
Manufacturer : Broadcom
Wireless Technology : Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
It has been working fine but after the children were using the machine and shut it down I cannot see the Router using the wifi.
I tried the hardware switch on the media strip between the keyboard and the screen and none of the buttons respond; I suspect this may be the issue.
Fn F8 brings up the wifi fn display but clicking on it will not enable it. Trouble shooting informs me to "Turn on Wireless Capability" but as stated above, the media strip appears to be inactive. I can connect normally using the cable to the router.
I tried a System Restore but that didn't help.
So although I have a sinking feeling I am missing something obvious, any thoughts before I start reloading wifi driver and resetting BIOS? If that is the recommended approach, what driver controls the media strip
Many thanks for any help.

Thanks for all your assistance... Got it sorted:
For anyone else with this model, *it was a hardware fault.*
You need to undo one of the screws on the underside of the laptop (I undid them all 8o() and gently lift up the keyboard fascia from the top (directly above the function buttons). Under here you will find a small ribbon cable from the media panel to the motherboard... this had come undone.
Reconnected, rebooted, job's a good'un.
Genuinely impressed with how supportive this forum is... in Arnie's immortal words: I'll be back!

NB200 - How to enable WiFi on Windows 7?

Hey,
I've just bought a brand new Toshiba NB200 netbook (10-Z).
When finished with the needed Win XP install, I installed the Windows 7 RC1, but the wifi is not working. The Fn+F8 Combination would start the wifi adapter, but the led in the outer side of the netbook is not blinking or anything, and system says, first I have to turn on the wifi, but I simply Can't, because the combination isn't working. I installed all the drivers, but still don't work.
Sorry for the bad english, i'm Hungarian.
Thanks, B3N1

I installed seven directly, without even booting on the windows xp config shipped with the laptop
the wireless was off, there was no way to enable it, even after following all the advises before.
I had to reinstall XP on a second partition from the restore disc, and then the wireless was enabled, either on windows xp or seven... (but you could do the same thing from a standard xp install, you'll just have to install all the drivers)
Altough I cannot switch the wireless off with the fn+f8 combo (or i can go to the xp partition, switch it off, and go back to seven... lol)
I know seven was not officially supported and blah blah blah but it was really REALLY annoying, it was the first (and I hope the last) disappointment with the nb200. (PLL20C-00200C, canadian model)

Is s2disk reports no error when creating image file and the hook is run on next boot but it doesn't work.

Dell Vostro 1400 fan speed

I am not able to get lm_sensors to detect the fan speed, so I installed i8kmon and i8kutils and modprobe i8k force=1 to load the module.
Now the sensor applet tells me that my fan speed for Fan1 is around 27000 RPM and for Fan2 it's around 10000 RPM, while both cores of the CPU are around 50 C.
I've never thought of monitoring fan speed until today, but the figures just seem way too great...
I guess I am not doing it the right way. Any suggestions?

Yeah, I just noticed it So does this mean I can't wake my S10 thru LAN right? Anyway, do you have any suggestions? I'm looking for a Docking Station, but I can't find any. Can a USB replicator turn this on? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

How to enable touch screen stylus in photoshop: Dell Inspiron 13: windows 8?

You don't need to enable anything. For it to work you need a touch screen display and a pressure sensitive pen. Not a capacitive pen like those used on a iPad.
A capacitive pen will work with the interface but not the brush tool.
