Hopelessly stuck - atheros 2413 wifi setup

Hi,
I have an Atheros 2413 wireless card that I have been trying to set up with Arch and it's been a nightmare. I've been trying to set this thing up for hours on end; I've read the wireless setup wiki page, read a lot of madwifi documentation, tried lots of various network utilities, and fucked with my rc.conf file. The network is WPA_PSK protected, and while I thought it might have had something to do with wpa_supplicant, I just don't know anymore. (Read the wpa_supplicant page, btw)
I have to be missing something. Help!

Please include your full model number when posting problems on the forums. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop. "A305D" is only partial.
That's quite the problem. How often was it doing this? At some steps in your diagnosing, it seemed to get better, but I wonder if it was actually (temporarily) fixed, or if it didn't occur by chance.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you. Normally I'd suggest you get it serviced, but then you'd also be throwing more money at a three year old notebook when clearly you're knowledgeable yourself.
Hopefully someone in the community will have some suggestions. I have noticed that some people shy away from posts with large paragraphs of text. (I'm not saying that's correct, but it happens.) I'd suggest putting some bullet points at the top summarizing. If you feel like doing that, you can edit your message.
Good luck!

You probably can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
Two cautions if you want to try this:
1) The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
2) Backups are likely going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

WLSE 2.9 and WDS AP's stuck in "Security Keys Setup"

Hey all,
I had to rebuild a WLSE, did a restore from a 2.9 CD. Restore went great, rediscovered all the devices. I am not however getting any rogue or adhoc detection.
I've found that all the WDS servers are stuck in "Security Key Setup". I've tried rebooting all the WDS servers, even the WLSE several times.
I believe that there must be some kind of key mismatch now between the WDS servers and the WLSE.
The usernames and passwords without a doubt match. It is however possible that during the rebuild setup of the WLSE that not all the same information was entered, ie domain name etc.
Does anyone know how to flush the AP's to try and negotiate a new key with the WLSE appliance?
I've tried "clear wlccp nm" and "clear wlccp ap"
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Brian

Hey all,
Just an update for everyone.
"Security Key Setup" is a good thing, it means the WDS's have registered with the WLSE, so I was barking up the wrong tree there. I thought it meant it was trying to establish the keys.
After some more research I found my problem. Radio Monitoring was not enabled on the WLSE. I reconfigured it and everything is working great now.
Hope this helps someone.
Take care,
-Brian

Epson to iPad wifi setup? Help.

I am having issues just connecting my xp-200 wifi printer to my iPad 2. I do not have a laptop or desktop computer...just my iPad.
For my router, it's a Comcast with wifi. All is working and connected but for my Epson printer.
When searching for the wifi printer with the Epson iPrint, I get error message of "Unable to find printer...ssid...Home D272...check network settings...".
I can access the router in my browser 10.0.x.x but don't know what to do from there. My router can see my devices but not my printer.
What can I do with my router so the printer will have access?
The Epson manual is short on info. Does not include any iPad wifi setup. Been everywhere looking for answers but going in circles. Yes, xp-200 is supported.
Thanks a bunch!

Well hey, I figured this out.
Press the button wps on router. Turn on printer, press wifi, and whala, connected!
So while the question was asked, I answered it myself.
Thanks anyway.

It actually worked.
I had some problems during the process. The "Bonjour" and "Apple Software Update" could not be installed with Add/Remove programs. I had to use "Windows install Cleanup" utility to get rid of them.
After reinstalling iTunes again, it worked. The phone was recognized and the whole OS restored.
I very much appreciate your help.

How do i get my Ipad 1 to ask for a wep key insted of a password for wifi setup?

how do i get my Ipad 1 to ask for a wep key insted of a password for wifi setup?

"WiFi setup"? I'm not sure I understand. Are you trying to set up your WiFi network from an iPad?
Anyway, the answer to your question is likely this:
Go to Settings > WiFi. Find your network. Click the small "i" in the circle on the right of that line. That probably has the information you are looking for (or the place to set it).

Driver for Atheros AR9565 wifi Soalris 11.1 x86 url?

Where I can find the driver for Driver for Atheros AR9565 wifi Soalris 11.1 x86

Hello,
The only wifi/Atheros card that is on S11 HCL list is AR242x 802.11 agb Wirless PCI Express Adapter:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/data/components/details/atheros/sol_11_11_11/7066.html
So I assume there are no official drivers for AR9565 from Oracle.
Have you tried Atheros (vendor) page?

TV Setup stuck on Downloading TV Setup Data

Windows 7 - 32bit - Media Center Live TV setup.
TV Setup stuck on "Downloading TV Setup Data for your region" trying to download information for my country (Italy).
My TV Tuner is Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T-Stick

I have the same issue and have left the media center in this "Downloading TV Setup Data" for over 2 hours and... nothing it just stops its updating process. The little meter never moves any further than its initial 1 dot. This sucks. If the media center in Windows 7 with isnt going to work with a newer Hauppauge WinTV card, then I will never buy it. I will just stay with WinXp & go with the BeyondTV software.
My card is the dual tuner: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/prods_hvr_internal.html
and my zipcode is 46350
O/S: Windows 7 Ultimate, and fully updated with all the latest releases
is there a fix for this stoppage or update lockup??
WinTV-HVR-2250 Dual Tuner PCI Express TV tuner
Two analog tuners, each with their own hardware encoders
Two digital TV receivers for ATSC or clear QAM
Watch one analog or digital channel while recording another
Single slot PCI Express (PCIe) X1 board, half height
Dual built-in hardware MPEG-2 encoders, for the best system performance when recording analog cable TV.
Supports clear QAM digital cable TV channels with the new WinTV v6 application
I also thought that it may be because of the WIndows firewall blocking the tranfer, so I shut it down. This is a fairly new install, with no added security or firewall or blocking type softwares added..
I found this setup guide: http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-vista/set-up-your-tv-signal-in-windows-media-center/
and their STEP 7 is where my setup stops... and never goes any further... even If I let it set all night lon and get up the next morning its still in the same place & the computer isnt locked up. I can open browsers, and manuever fine thoughout the system. I have tried 10 time in all sorts of ways and its always the same place where it stop or stalls... Ive checked for updates... nothing... no fix anywhere... any ideas?

Need advice on Wifi setup

I need some advice on the best wifi setup to use for my house's configuration.
Currently I have cable internet coming in at one end of the house downstairs. I have an Airport Express (circa 2010) connected directly to the cable modem. On the second floor on the complete opposite side of the house is my bedroom/office. I have an Airport Extreme (2011 5th generation) set up to extend the wireless network.
This has worked fine and we have not had any problems connecting any of our wireless devices to the network.
I also have the airport express set up to use dyndns with a domain name I own so that I can remotely access my network at work.
I have just added a new mac mini to the mix to replace an aging and antiquated Windows Home Server. I want to administer all the user's (6 kids) in the house, manage photo and itunes libraries and eventually set up a webserver and allow remote access to our home computers.
So my question is this....is there a better way to configure the airport devices? I would prefer to have the cable modem connected directly to the airport extreme, but then I would be wasting the USB and gigabit ethernet ports as the location of the cable modem is in our living room with no electronic devices in sight. Since my primary connection for my main computer and the new mac mini is through the airport extreme connected wirelessly to the airport express, I am thinking the express could be the bottleneck. Would spending the cash on a 2nd Airport Extreme to replace the Airport Express be beneficial or just a waste of money?
Thanks.
Brian

Yes, I had considered running an etherent cable to the bedroom, but my wife doesn't like the idea of seeing the cable snaking through hallways.
In the bedroom, I have connected the imac, mac mini and the AEBS with etherent cable. It's just my connection to the internet that does not have the benefit of ethernet, although the speed I get from my cable internet is much slower than the wifi connection.
I would eventually like to move the cable modem upstairs and use the AEBS as the primary base station and the AX downstairs to extend my wireless network. However, there is an issue in that the cable modem has to be the only device on the cable connection and I am currently using the cable connection to carry my DISH Network signal and basic cable signal to the bedroom.
I guess my question really boils down to this...Would an AE in place of the AX give a stronger signal to the 2nd AE in the bedroom. I will turn off the AE tonight and see what kind of a signal I get from the AX downstairs. I haven't tried it, but I suppose I could also move the Airport Extreme (5th Gen) downstairs and hook it directly to the cable modem and not even use the AX because the signal from the new AE should be as good or better than last year's AX - but then I would lose the gigabit ethernet between those devices - which is why I haven't done that yet.
I could also drop the $$$ on a Time Capsule for the bedroom and use it for all my backups (but that's kinda what I'm hoping to do with the mac mini) and move the AE downstairs to the cable modem.
Decisions, decisions.

WiFi Setup in Large House multiple Apple Hardware Devices -Help Please!

Hello:
I have tried to solve my wifi issues over the past months, but I am stuck. I recognize that this is a little involved, so let me apologize in advance.
I do not expect someone to be willing to take the time regarding this, but if someone could at least read this and give me some general pointers, that would be great.
Highlights of current problems - we cannot consistently print documents from our printer, which is connected via an airport express (note that the airport express is wired to the internet with Cat 5e, we cannot consistently stream itunes music, we have too many separate wifi networks - we prefer one wifi network, if possible. Most recently, I have been trying to extend or join my own existing networks, and I do not understand the difference in terminology, and in any event, neither attempts worked as I kept getting error messages and the amber lights stayed on.
Goals - We would like to have seemless wifi throughout our old, larger sized house with ability to stream iTunes music from an apple computer or via Airtunes from an iPhone, and print from any computer or from any iPhone or iPod, and ability for guests to join wifi with a password and have such connection be good throughout our house. I prefer not to have to manually select different wifi networks as we move around the house with an iPhone or Macbook Pro. Also, I often get prompted for wifi passwords (depending on which of my airport expresses comes into range) and I would like to avoid putting the passwords in each time. Or one signal gets weak and my device does not know that it should switch to the wifi network with better reception. I would like to be able to walk from point A to point B and have my wifi connection work continuously behind the scenes. And I would like to be able to play music on receiver, and control same via our iPhone and iPods.
Hardware -
Basement: Verizon Fios wireless Router, Ethernet Network switch with multiple Cat 5e ethernet cables going to different locations in the house.
1st Floor: Macbook Pro connected to internet via ethernet; 1 previous generation Airport Express connected to internet via ethernet, with a printer cable going from Airport Express to a printer and an audio capable going from Airport Express to a receiver. If possible, I would like that same Airport Express to provide wireless access. I also have a non-apple wifi device that is recessed in the ceiling, I think it is by On Q/Legran and this non-Apple wifi device is connected via ethernet.
2nd Floor: Older generation iMac (purchased in around 2005) that is not connected to ethernet, 1 Airport Express (new version) connected to ethernet; 1 additional Airport Express (new version) connected to ethernet; 2nd MacBook Pro which relies on Airport Express.
3rd Floor: Apple Time Capsule connected via ethernet cable, Apple TV sitting right next to Apple Time Capsule, with HDMI cable running from Apple TV to home theater receiver.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hello JoJo121. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
To achieve having "one" wireless network throughout the house, we just need to configure all of your base stations for a "roaming" network. With this type of network, a laptop could literally roam from room-to-room and still be on the "same" network.
You already have one of most important parts of this type of network and that is you have an Ethernet infrastructure where you want wireless to be provided.
The FiOS router should not need any configuration changes.
Setup the 802.11b/g AirPort Express Base Station (AX), 802.11n AirPort Express Base Stations (AXn), & Time Capsule (TC) as bridges:
o AirPort Utility > Select the base station > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
For each AX, AXn, & TC in the roaming network:
o Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network, i.e., they should all connect back to the Ethernet switch at the FiOS router.
o Provide a unique Base Station Name
o The Network Name should be identical
o If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
o Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next base station to prevent Wi-Fi interference.
