How do I find out the name of my wireless chipset/interface?

I'm doing a install of Arch and I need to setup my WLAN.
So the wiki says:
"After finishing the rest of this installation and rebooting, you can connect to the network with wifi-menu interface_name (where interface_name is the interface of your wireless chipset). "
How do I find out the name of my interface?

Check your chipset (lspci), see if the corresponding kernel module got loaded. Look for dmesg errors. Another way to check device names (from the wiki):
$ ls /sys/class/net
How do I check if the kernal module got loaded?
lspci | grep net

I forget to mention that it is a USB wifi dongle (Tplink TL-WN722N). And I'm also running within virtualbox - I hope that does not complicate matters?
Probably. You'll need to make sure that VB guest can see your USB ports. You'll need the VB wiki pages for that though.
I don't use it, so can't help, sorry.

  • How can you find out if another VI running on the same computer and how can you find out the name of that VI?

    Suppose that several VIs running simultaneously on the same computer. How can I find out the names of the running VIs, from another VI?
    If the already running VIs are clones of the same basic VI, open and run with the option "Prepare to call and forget", how can I find out the names and index of each clone? 

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

  • How can I find out the name of an artist in the download library?

    Yesterday my friend configured his iPod nano. At the end of the setup, a library of some 30 songs was downloaded to his iPod. He told me he loved one of the songs called Sons and Daughters, but the album/artist displayed as Anonymous. It's a moving antiwar song about the Iraq War. I listened and loved it too.
    How can we find out who the artist is? Also, how does Apple select the tunes to include in the free download? It's possible that lots of people have heard this song and would like to find out more about it as well.

    It was downloaded automatically from itunes at the end of the setup.
    Okay, but how did the music get into iTunes?
    You had to get the music from somewhere...

  • How can I find out the name of the folder my java program is in?

  • How can I find out the name of the table by knowing the type_id #

    Is that possible though? I know the type_id from viewResults.jsp page, but, it doesn't say which table it belongs to though! I have to know the table name to copy over updated data.

    right, which is a column... so no, I don't think you can get the table name from that... Maybe from ResultSet itself... I'd have to look at the API docs to be sure, and I'm sure you can do that just as easily.
    But as I said, you have a ResultSet, that must've come from a query, which must've had the table name(s) in it...

  • How to find out the name of a table?

    Hi
    How can I find out the name of a table which doesn't have a record history?
    Regards
    Rahman

    No direct way to know the tables. What you will find on the ABout this page link are the View Object (similar to record sets), Entity objects, controller and Application module. Generally EO is based on a table or the VO can be based on the query which you can find the corresponding xml file. But a button action might be calling a method in AM or CO which in turn call some wrapper method to interact with database. So nothing straight forward. You will have to analyze the all page related code objects.
    They are specific to OA framework and if you are not aware about them, better go through the initial chapters of OAF dev guide.

  • How does one find out the database name , service name in a database

    hi,
    how do u find out the database name , service name , SID in a database.
    Please reply.
    Thanks ,
    Regards,
    RC

    This particular information is available in the view V_$PARAMETER owned by SYS. But you can also login with Server Manager as user INTERNAL and run:
    SHOW PARAMETERS
    The entries pertaining to the naming of the database are:
    1. db_name
    2. db_domain
    3. db_name
    4. instance_name
    5. service_names
    GLOBAL_NAME is a static (not changing) Data Dictionary view which has just 1 attribute (column) called GLOBAL_NAME.
    When you run:
    select GLOBAL_NAME from GLOBAL_NAME;
    You are returned the full global name of the database, i.e. the db_name and the db_domain joined together by dot (.) For e.g. if your db_name = mgmt and db_domain = tech.co.in, then your global_name will be MGMT.TECH.CO.IN.

  • How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

    How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

    I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
    Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
    Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
    MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
    MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
    Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
    As for sound quality:
    Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
    MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
    MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
    MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
    I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
    The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

  • How do i find out the tables effected in a schema after a particular time stamp

    how do i find out the tables effected in a schema after a particular time stamp?
    pls email in [email protected]

    If you are doing a reload every time then you can issue following commands to clear data from cube.
    lmt name to all
    allstat
    clear all from <cubename>prttopvar
    You can wrap above commands in pl sql procedure using dbms_aw.execute package and execute it before cube load starts. Instead of clearing it from whole cube you can clear only from one partition also. Just take a look at clear command in olap DML 10.2 reference.
