Installing Arch with a rt2500 wireless card [resolved]

Well, is it possible or am I boned? Seems like the rt2500 drivers are beta and I can't seem to find realtek 8180 wireless drivers. I was going to just do an FTP install; is there anyway to stick the module in /addons or something? Should I just install the system from cd and load the module on a cd then install the module and load it from there?
I'm not really familiar with the way /addons works. It seems to just be a *.tar.bz2 that has a directory structure containing modules that extracts to /lib. Am I correct in assuming this? If so can I just tar up the rt2x00beta or rtl8010 driver from pacman and insert it into /addons on the iso and reburn?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I've exausted all my ideas, as these are the only ethernet adapters I have access to on this machine. I tryed installing the system and moving the drivers from pacman over, but they were compiled for a different kernel. I'm going to try moving sources over next.

I finally resolved my issue; albeit a messy resolution. Basically what I did was a basic install from CD. After the installation I downloaded a CVS snapshot of the rt2500 sources from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page. I proceeded to make a 7zip archive of the sources and put them on a floppy. Moved the floppy over and did a "make" "make install" followed by a "modprobe rt2500".
After that I did the basic wireless setup "ifconfig ra0 up" "iwlist ra0 scan" and at long last I behold my access point.

Installing Arch with intel wireless (iwlwifi-3945)

i have tried various times in the past few weeks to install arch with minimal success. The only time i was able to actually set up a system that would allow me to get to a gui and use the internet was when i had an install of Archie Linux (Live CD) that i had to chroot with kubuntu to add wireless support. Needless to say i preferred a cleaner install (especially after having to manually rename the folders, etc. for the repository changes).
Anyways when arch is loading it makes mention of needing to append the boot image to include intel-wireless. i was wondering what exactly was involved in doing that. Because after trying to just install the package ifconfig does not show my wlan device. Any help is appreciated. let me know if more info is needed.

I have Arch with iwl3945 drivers running here just fine. No tweaks to the cpio image needed.
I have never heard of this either... You need both the drivers and the firmware. Check dmesg if everything is okay. Ifconfig -a should show a wlan0 device, if not, something went wrong.
broch wrote:I have HP dv5000t (dualcore) with the same card. Never had any problems with intel 3945. However I am using ipw3945 instead of iwl3945 as the later is still early beta and far from stability, performance of ipw.
Since 1.1.0 stability is just fine. Throughput is still a problem though. I get like 2.8 MBps with earlier versions, and the 1.1.21 one can hit it too, but mostly it's around 1 MBps . I prefer that to yet another proprietary package though. It's not every day I transfer a few GB to my wired server .

Help With Third Party Wireless Cards

Hello, I am needing some help with third party wireless cards. I have purchased and installed the Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI card into my G4. From what ive seen on the discussions page here, this card is known to work with the G4s in place of the more expensive Airport Extreme card. The only problem is that my G4 doesnt even recognize that the card is in the PCI slot. Ive tryed the other PCI slots and still nothing. Previously, i have tried using a belkin and a d-link card that have been known to work in the G4s as well, and had the same problem. I am 100% sure that the card is seated correctly, and cant think of any other reason why it shouldnt detect that something is in the slot. If anyone can inform me what im doing wrong, or has any info on how to get it working, that would be great. Thanks for your time,
~Jared

Yes, i run Digidesigns audio editing program called Protools on my Mac. It uses a PCI card to import mic/line audio signals into the program from the hardware interface. I tried moving the Digidesign card and putting the wireless card in the same slot, and still nothing, although the Digidesign card works fine in the other slots. Each time i moved the Digidesign card, it showed up in the different slots, although the ones that were open did not show up at all. Only the PCI slots that are in use show up in ASP on my machine. I have the FW-800 version of the G4, so im not sure if that makes any difference. I have never erased the PRAM before, would you be able to give me directions on how to do that? Thanks a ton for your help. =)

Install Arch with dual graphics laptop

Hey everybody,
So a few months ago I bought a new laptop, and ASUS X750JN. After I have my new laptop on my hands the first thing was install Arch Linux, but I came across an problem with graphics, probably a bad configuration and because I needed the computer for the university, I keep Windows for a while. Now that I have some time, I want to return to my beloved Arch but I have a serious question, the computer has 2 graphics cards, on-board Intel and an Nvidia and my question is, how can I install Arch and use Nvidia for some games like ETS, CS:GO and Guns of Icarus? When I tried installing before, the VGA was the Intel and not the Nvidia.
I know that Hybrid Graphics aren't full supported in Linux, but is there a way to use Arch with the Nvidia, even if only uses Nvidia.
Thanks in advance,
Have a nice Christmas and a Happy 2015,
Hugo Rodrigues.

So, like I said above, today I have installed Arch with Bumblebee and so far so good, but I just have a question, how I run games using optirun throw Steam?

I'll work on this and opened a new thread here - maybe we can assist each other until everything is up and running.

Install Arch with PXE?

Hello,
I'm trying to install Arch with PXE, and for this I'm using two VM in VirtualBox. I've followed all steps in the Wiki, also I tried to use a script ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … pxe_server ).
Following the main PXE wiki article, when I mount the archlinux-boot image, I can't find isolinux subfolder in order to copy contents into /var/tftpd/ folder. Article seems to be out of date.
¿Any idea? I've dhcpd server running and I executed mkpxelinux -c=/etc/mkpxelinux.conf command, but I don't know what I need to do right now.
Thanks for all.

Hi
nbd in 2010.05 images is old
nbd in your system is new
archiso-pxe-server script try to keep compatible with old (untested) and new nbd.
Try this on ramfs prompt:
nbd-client the-server-ip -N archiso /dev/nbd0 -presist
mount -r -t udf /dev/nbd0 /bootmnt
logout
Download a recent update archiso-pxe-server-20101012 (just now)
If does not work, try to build your archiso up-to-date using my branch that have the fix[#1]. See here how http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Use … lean_build

Hi 2k,
maybe it's a problem with the association between access point and your wireless card.
from the output of iwconfig the security mode is open, try to change it in restricted;
modify /etc/conf.d/wireless in this way:
wlan_ra0="ra0 essid BTHomeHub-F288 key restricted xxxxxxxxxx"

How to control an Apple Base Station with 3rd-party wireless card?

I recently upgraded my early 2004 Power Mac G5 2GHz DP to the 802.11n standard using a Newertechnology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless PCI Adapter to communicate with my new "n"-standard 2TB Time Capsule. My G5 shipped with an 802.11g-standard Airport Card which I disconnected when I installed the PCI card to avoid hardware conflicts. The new n-standard wireless set-up works without a problem, but having lost the Apple Airport Card, I no longer have the ability to control/manipulate the Timecapsule via the third-party card e.g. I cannot connect/disconnect my internet connection or otherwise troubleshoot the base station.
So, the question is, how can control an Apple base station with a third-party wireless card? As it stands now, I must boot up my laptop just to see if I have a connection.
My thanks in advance,
T. North
Brussels, Belgium

Thanks for the assistance. Yes, I can indeed administer the Time Capsule from inside the Airport Utility, but I am still unable to connect or disconnect the Internet connection like you can with an Airport card (using the Airport drop-down menu.) If my ISP signal drops for whatever reason (which is does often) I have to boot up my laptop just to reconnect. Is there some feature within the Airport Utility that permits one to connect/disconnect the signal? If there is, I haven't found it yet.

Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

Connecting a PC with an external wireless card

I have an iMac and am connected wirelessly to the Internet through the Airport Extreme. My roommate has a new Dell Laptop with Windows XP and has been connected through ethernet to the base station. She just recently purchased an external wireless card, and we can't seem to get her connected wirelessly. When searching for available networks to join on her computer, it recognizes my network and says that it has an excellent signal, but when we type in the WEP, it doesn't do anything. It does not give us an error, and it does not connect. Any idea what we are doing wrong and what we can do to fix it?

I still can't figure it out. I unchecked the option that says "enable encryption (using WEP)" and she was immediately connected. I don't think I have a huge problem leaving the network up without a password, I'm in a small residential area. Does that just mean that neighbors would be able to connect? How far does the signal generally travel? And is there any way to see the IP addresses of people connected to this specific network?

Attempting to connect daughter's laptop with a Neatgear wireless card

I am trying to connect my daughter's laptop to my network. I have downloaded Network Magic, etc. Is there an easy step-by step tutorial or checklist I can access to connect her to my router? Network Magic is telling me that I have other network connection software and it has to be disabled before continuing (**bleep**?). I am being driven mad. Just need to have a step by step list to get it connected. If necessary, I can delete everything (Network Magic, etc,. and the like) and start fresh if that is necessary. Any experts available to help? Thanks in advance,
Forgot to mention that she is using a Netgear MA 401 wireless card. Router is the WRG54S Version 7.
Message Edited by poopoohead on 10-27-2009 08:44 AM

Which operating system you are using on the computer...?
Are you able to connect other wireless computer to your network..?
First of all make sure that your adapter is installed properly on the wireless computer..Go to the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar from the wired computer and change the wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz.Change the SSID (network name) to some unique name(not linksys)...Confirm the Network/Security key.Now,locate and try to connect the wireless network on the wireless computer.

Installing Arch with UNetbootin, error

I'm trying to install Arch on my HP dv1040 laptop with UNetBootin and haven't been able to do much. When I boot up and select UNetbootin, linux starts running and decompressing and stuff but then it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/archiso" and fails to find it. I'm kinda lost for what to do. I've tried reinstalling UNetbootin like 5 times with different options such as using my iso image, or letting UNet download it for me. Can anyone help me?
I have WinXP as my current OS.

Solved for me.
sudo dd bs=8M if=archlinux-2009.08-netinstall-i686.img of=/dev/sdc
Works only for the netinstall images though. I'll get an error during install with core, but this might also be because my usb stick is fubar.
@celtic426
You should try to use the netinstall images with UNetBootin. I had no luck with the core ones and unetbootin though.
Another solution should be to boot from an ubuntu livecd/usb-stick (works with unetbootin, I already tried it) and then dd the image on the usb stick as the wiki says: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … tion_Media

Trying to install Arch with Ubuntu hardy already installed

I have Ubuntu already installed on my system and I want to install Arch on a separate 10gig partition ( which is already made) but when I boot from the Arch cd and go to install Arch only sees the main drive it doesn't see anything else what am I doing wrong. I only want to install arch on the 10 gig partition for now until I am more familiar with Linux

Dual booting with other linux distros
This is done exactly the same way that Arch linux is loaded. Here we assume that the other distro is on partition [s/h]da3.
title Other Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz (add other options here as required)
initrd /boot/initrd.img (if the other kernel uses/needs one)
[edit] Dual booting with other linux distro (Chainloading)
To avoid maintenance nightmare, you might want to chainload the GRUB in the MBR to another bootloader you might have installed in the bootrecord of a partition [(hd0,2) in our example] instead of the MBR. This way the auto-magic stuff of some distro will manage the menu.lst on (hd0,2) (if it is grub) for its own distro and you will boot with all the option needed (like the correct last kernel) without the need to copy/paste some part of that menu.lst into yours.
In our example [1], GRUB is in the MBR and some other bootloader (BL) (be it grub or lilo) is in the Boot Record of (hd0,2).
| | | | % (hd0,2) |
| M | | | B % |
| B | (hd0,0) | (hd0,1) | L % Other |
| R | | | % Distro |
| | | | % |
| ^
| chainloading |
Then, you simply use in your menu.lst:
title Other Linux distro
root (hd0,2)
chainloader +1

Installing Arch with USB

My laptop currently does not have a disk drive and I want to install Arch Linux as a dual-boot with Ubuntu 12.04. Do I just copy the Arch iso to a thumbdrive and get my computer to boot from the thumbdrive? When I do this a get a "Boot error."

Please read through the Beginner's Guide: it includes detailed instructions on how to do this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … _USB_stick

Is it possible to install Arch with only WIFI available?

Hi, I want to install Archlinux on my thinkpad T60, but there is only WIFI at my room(with WPA), so is it possible to install Arch and set up to get a full GUI desktop environment? The problem is how to connect to internet via WIFI in command line only mode, is it too complicated? Is there a tutorial on this?
Thanks!

'The beginners guide and the install guide in the wiki cover this, i believe it also has a section for connecting to an encrypted access point. So to answer your question: yes its possible and no its not too complicated and yes there is a tutorial on this
