HWIC wireless card setup and errors

Hello all, I have a wireless card setup on my 1841 router and I am trying to get it to work with computer connected to it. I can connect fine and it routed to the internet and all of that, but the problem is that it keeps pushing out this error,
"*Jan 16 04:53:39.402: *** Not encrypted dot1x packet from 0016.6f65.b176 has been discarded"
Then after a few of those, the station gets removed from the wireless connection. Not sure where to go from here, I have WPA-psk setup on the router, the config for the interface looks like this...
interface Dot11Radio0/1/0

Broadcom Wireless Card Setup Problems

Hello there, I'm very new to Archlinux and to linux overall. Since I'm done with my classes for the summer, I had the crazy idea to setup a home web server with my old machine and at the same time use the wireless card as an acess point for my laptop. The problem is that I followed all the steps in the Archlinux wiki about the wireless setups for the B43 driver several times. However, my system seams to ignore all my efforts and keeps making fun of me. According to what I understood, it's not setting up the network interface. (Which is suposed to be done automaticly I think) So here's a bunch of troubleshooting commands results.
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

Turning wireless card on and off

I just got my new laptop and am putting Arch on it of course. It has the Intel 3945 card which is pretty common so I thought I'd use the iwlwifi driver. I followed the Wiki and even perused a couple other laptop wiki entries with the same card to see how they did it but none of them have worked correctly. I think the reason is because the actual card isn't turned on. When I boot into Windows the little wifi light comes on indicating the card is active and I can connect to a wireless network then but when I boot into Arch the light is off. iwconfig wlan0 essid mynetwork and iwconfig wlan0 key ******** both run without error but I don't have an IP address.
The only problem is there's no key combination to turn the card on and off. It's a little button that you slide one way to turn on bluetooth and wireless and the other way to turn it off. The bluetooth light is on in Linux but not the wireless. It's driving me crazy because I can't seem to find anything in the manual about it and the card is set to be turned on by default in the BIOS. What else can I do?

OK, I think I figured it out. I'm now using my wireless card to browse the Internet. I think what was happening was my wired interface (eth0) was conflicting with my wireless interface. Once I brought my wired connection down, I was able to connect with the wireless one.
Maybe someone can simplify the process for me now. I've disabled eth0 in rc.conf but in order to get the wireless up and running I have to bring up wlan0 with ifconfig, use iwconfig to configure the essid and key and then connect through wifi-radar (even though wifi-radar already contains the correct configuration). That means I can't just connect with wifi-radar after boot. I have to run those iwconfig and ifconfig commands first. I considered putting wlan0 as an interface in rc.conf but the Wiki entry I read said not to do that for the 3945 card. So is there any way to streamline this process?
And I guess Linux just doesn't send any power to the little light even though it does for the bluetooth one. That really doesn't boher me but it did throw me for a loop the first time around.

Linksys WMP11 Wireless Card Setup (Prism 2.5 chipset wlan-ng drivers)

I just finished setting up my first Arch Linux box on an ancient desktop of mine. It is running so suprisingly fast and I am loving it so far. I learned a ton working trough the guides too. Anyway, I am having issues setting up my wireless card. Currently, I am sharing my laptops wifi with my Arch desktop but I would like to use my acutal PCI card.
The card is a Linksys WMP11. I used to lspci to find that it is using the Prism 2.5 chipset. I consulted the Wireless Setup guide
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … bsolete.29
This informed me that my card is supported by the wlan-ng drivers. My card is supported on the hardware list:
http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz
I have searched around the official Arch repositories and the AUR and I can not find this package. The Wireless Wiki page states to use tools within the wlan-ng26-utils package. I can't seem to find this package. It does say wlan-ng is obselete. Is it no longer maintained?
I also downloaded the drivers directly from
http://www.linux-wlan.org/
However, I ran into issues when trying to run make configure. The value it generates for the Linux source path is invalid.
So, I am out of luck since the packages don't appear to exist, or is it possible to compile and install the drivers from source? How do I tie this into pacman?
Thanks

Hope this helps. I have the same chipset and have been searching on and off for the past three days for the answer - here's the simple thing that got mine working.
in /etc/rc.conf modify the modules line to include wpa_supplicant
MODULES=(wpa_supplicant)
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf add the following line (create this file if it doesn't exist)
blacklist iwconfig
Now you should be able to activate and configure your card via wpa_supplicant. Here is a sample of my wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
# WEP in Shared Key mode
network={
ssid="MyRouterEssid"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0="MyCustomKey1"
wep_key1="MyCustomKey2"
wep_key2="MyCustomKey3"
wep_key3="MyCustomKey4"
wep_tx_keyidx=2
priority=5
auth_alg=SHARED
And here is the wpa_supplicant command line to start it manually
wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0
BTW, I also have these two lines in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file
blacklist orinono
blacklist orinono_pci
I have not had time yet to verify if this is not needed (was part of previous attempts to get wifi to connect) but wanted to let you know in case it is part of the stuff needed to get these cards working with the newer wpa_supplicant. Of course this configuration is for a WEP Shared Key configuration. I have also not had time yet to test whether or not this will work in WPA mode. I suspect not in my case because the firmware I have on my card is pre-wpa on the Prism 2.5 series. We'll see.

450 g2 Wireless Card upgrade and antennas

Hello,
I just ordered a ProBook 450 G2, model # L8D98UT. It comes with the Intel 3160 AC Wireless card. I'd like to upgrade this to the 7260 AC Card. Is this possible, and does this specific model come with the 2 antenanas required for the 7260 Wireless AC Card? I was unable to tell from the specifications if 1 or 2 antennas are in the display bezel.
Thanks

Hi:
That shouldn't be a problem.
If you look at the service manual, it shows 2 antennas on the procedure for removing and replacing the WLAN card.

Netgear PCI Wireless Card in a Power Mac G4

I have a Netgear PCI Wireless Card MA311 and I'm trying to make it work in my Power Mac G4. Does anyone know of any drivers I can use or any way I can get online with it? An alternate option is the Linksys Wireless-B USB adapter (ver.2.8) that I have around here somewhere.

Generally speaking, if you are planning on buying a PCI wireless card, do make sure that it is Mac compatible. Mac drivers for such cards or for USB wireless adapters can often be difficult or impossible to find.
Another option could be a wireless Ethernet bridge (also known as a gaming adapter) connected to the Ethernet port. These devices (examples include Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N and Netgear WGE111) do not normally require special driver software, and can be used under almost any operating system. WPA security may or may not be supported for a certain unit, so study the specifications (a firmware update can solve this in some cases).

A20p, got a mini-pci wireless card working on it

I had thought this impossible. Everywhere i'd looked i couldn't find one person who'd got this working.
Today i've just done it. I had an SMC wireless router which had failed, it kept powering itself off all of the time so i'd bought a new router. Before i chucked the old router out i took it apart to have a look to see if i could find what had failed. To my surprise it had a mini-pci wireless card mounted in a slot on the mainboard (to give it wireless functionality i guess). I got the wireless card out and left the antenna leads still connected to the antennas on the back panel of the router.
Then i removed the mini-ethernet/56K modem card (IBM FRU-08K3125) from the A20p mini-pci slot and put the mini-pci wireless card in it's place. For the time being i left the antenna wires hanging out of the bottom with the router back panel and antenna still attached.
I hadn't got a clue who the manufacturer of the wireless card was but what i did have was the chipset number "TNETW1130GVF" which i obviously got off the chip on the mini-pci card. After a quick search i found some drivers that should be compatible with the chipset:-
http://www.safecom.cn/code/support/DMF.aspx?pid=316#
I've also tried these (actually the same thing):-
http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/other/2007-6-26/TI-TNETW1130GVF-Chipset-Driver.htm
I loaded them up and it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both driver downloads work!!!!
Now i've just got to find some internal antenna and wire them into the case!
Edit: i forgot to mention that the card is being recognised as a Texas instruments 802.11g MiniPCI card in Windows Device Manager (which is no surprise as it's a Texas Instruments Chipset). Also i'm on WinXP Pro SP3.

Who would have known? I wouldn't have expected a router to use a mini-PCI card.

Compatible wireless cards

Does anyone know of a list I can get of wireless cards that are compatible with the AirPort Extremem Base Station?
Cause I have a new MacBook, but I gave my girlfriend my old Dell Inspirion. But it does not have internal wireless cause I got it about 4 years ago. So I'll need to get her a wireless card.
And I know it says any wireless card that is certified 802.11b will work with the AirPort Base...
But that is a broad range. Anyone have a list? Or know where I might find a fairly cheap wireless card that will work?
Thanks.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) I'm new to Mac
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) I'm new to Mac

Hi Andy:
Any 802.11 B/G wireless cards will work with your Airport Extreme Basestation.
I've had good luck with the Linksys cards, but that would be a personal choice on what your select.

Lost internal wireless card Z61t

For some reason, when I restarted my PC yesterday, no wireless networks could be found when I can usually see 5 or 6 in my apt.
I tried plugging directly into the modem and still no connectivity.
The wireless radio switch is on, so I'm not sure what is going on.
Please help,
Thanks

Uninstall wireless card driver and install them again.

Mac Pro "error joining wireless network", G5 and iBook OK?

Trying to connect to internet via wireless. The airport recognizes my WPA Personal password but still show "Error joining network", the airport bar is full but cannot connect to internet. The Network Panel says:
"Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet"
Here's my setup, every firmware is up-to-date:
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
OSX 10.4.10
Linksys BEFW11S4 V.4 (firmware 1.52.02)
Airport Extreme card (update to 2007-003)
In Network panel:
Airport- Automatic
TCP/IP- Using DHCP
PPPoE- no click
Appletalk- active
Proxies- manually
In Sharing panel:
Firewall- On
Internet Sharing- Off
I am 100% sure that the router is working because we have a G5 (10.4.1) and a iBook (10.4.9) in the house and there's no problem for both devices, both takes the password and connect to the wireless network no problem.
And one thing, when I go to the setup page of the router (192.168.1.1) and disable the WPA password security, the Mac Pro works perfectly. So whats the problem? It doesn't recognize the WPA?
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.10)
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.10)

First question: Is there a wireless card installed? It was optional on a 3,1.
Go to System Preferences - Network and see if you have AirPort listed on the left. It also may be turned off which you can fix there.

Best practice for home setup/Roaming with built-in Dell wireless card?

I have a client with a huge house; I have done a site survey and it will require 3 APs to blanket the entire thing. I am wonderig what the best way to set this up for him would be? He would like to be able to walk around with the house and not lose connectivity. He is attempting to use his built-in Dell wireless card/client. As far as I know, these do not support Cisco roaming. What I have done is setup 3 diffrent SSIDs for each part of the house. Depending on his location he manually connects to the correct AP. Is this the best setup?
I had attempted to set all APs with the same SSIDs but found that the client would not roam and also found it difficult to connect to any of the APs at all. I believe the card was getting confused since there was overlap of the same SSID.

If he has a huge house, I don't think his laptop would be that old and also, the Dell's use the Intel wifi cards. Having all 3 ap's setup for the same SSID is what you should do and don't know why you are having so many issues. I would assume the ap's are on channel 1, 6, and 11 and how is the power setting? Do all these ap's run back to the same switch?

Setup wireless card during bootup

Hey,
It took my awhile to get my wireless card to work but I finally got it to work. In the beginning, I had to type every command to get my wireless card to work. A little later my friend made a script that runs during start up. But it encountered a problem. When the command ''dhcpcd ath0" it would just hang so I took that out. It ran fine but now I have to run "dhcpcd ath0", let it run for 4 or 5 seconds, then kill it with ctrl + c, and then finally run it again. My connection is then established. So this gets a little annoying.
Now I come to you, the community. What is the best way to setup a wireless card during boot-up? My friend (yes, its the same one as before ) said that there was a wireless script or profile that most people use. Would this help? Thanks.

Not entirely.
Comment everything in the DNS section , it's not used with dhcp and could cause conflicts
In wireless settings
- uncomment the line for IFOPTS
- comment the line WIFI_INTERFACE (iirc it's only needed with ndiswrapper)
Change the DESCRIPTION field to something appropriate like "Wlan at home"

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 :

1802 Error Message on installation of Broadcom Mini-PCI Wireless Card

I am getting an 1802 error message on boot when I install the Broadcom Mini-PCI wireless card. I know it has something to do with some code IBM put into the BIOS or CMOS to check the cards for manufacturer or something like that. Is there anyway around this message or do I have to try and find an IBM mini-PCI wireless card for this machine?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

All depends on how one defines success...
To put it this way: A3x machines are very unpredictable and moody when it comes to these issues, and you're talking to someone who has owned over a hundred A31p ThinkPads, not counting A30/p and A31 units along the way. More than once I've faced a scenario where the card that worked "out of the box" in one machine required a hack in the next one...
But to answer your question:
Can it be done? Absolutely.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely not.
IBM-issued (with a proper FRU number) Intel 2200BG should work in your machine with no hack. Some people have reported this experience even with generic card of the same type.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Tried every way to install my broadcom wireless card and failed

Hello.. i asked this in the newbie section but didn't get any replies.. i really need help and i don't know where else to go.
i have an hp dv2500 laptop with a Broadcom wireless card.. here is the output of lspci | grep -i net
08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
at first, i tried getting it to work with the broadcom-wl driver from AUR as suggested by this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312
i followed all the steps.. however, i did get an error when i tried to exucute this line:
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko
and the error was:
error inserting 'wl.ko': -1 File exists ...
i continued despite this error and when i was done, i couldn't detect the card with iwconfig or wicd.. the modules named "wl" and "lib80211" are loaded but i still can't detect it..
i uninstalled, re-installed and i got the same behaviour..
so then i tried the BCM43xx driver as described here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wir … up#BCM43XX
i unpacked the firmware and restarted but i still couldn't detect it.. and i couldn't load the bcm43xx module because arch says was not found..
then i tried the driver after that "b43".. followed the steps on the wiki, restarted, and i still couldn't detect the card with iwconfig or wicd..
i have been trying to get this to work for 3 days now.. i appreciate your time and help in this issue..
thanks

thanks for the reply tomk..
so at least we limited the problem to using broadcom-wl..
here is dmesg after modprobe -r wl
