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.

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 .

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.

Hey,
Sorry for the time but I'm was busy and only today I have the change to install Arch.

Have you looked in our Wiki? We have these for starters:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Optimus
When I was research I look it up on the second link but not on the first one.
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?

Hey Huago, I'm not sure if will help you as I don't know too much about your configuration, but I'm also experiencing some issues while configuring arch on my lenovo T420s. I have so far succeeded in starting a simple x session after installing the drivers for intel and nvidia (xf86-video-intel xf86-video-nouveau) (see my thread here but my current problem is, that I can't start gdm
I'll work on this and opened a new thread here - maybe we can assist each other until everything is up and running.
update: I got it - maybe it works for you too? (very short description of what i did):
install drivers for integrated and discrete graphics card
launch gdm as root
I have an Asus X750JN and I just install the integrated and discrete graphics and enabled gdm service.

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
[#1] http://github.com/djgera/archiso/commit … 9bc219ee30
Good Luck.

[SOLVED] Authentication with AP on 3.6.* with Intel Wireless adapter

Edit 06/2014: Solved ages ago via 3.10+
Kernels tested: 3.6.2-1, 3.6.3-1, 3.6.4-1.
After the latest kernel upgrade my wireless can't authenticate with my AP, wicd-gtk hangs on "authenticating" and then says "bad password".

Not for me :-(
I have an Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 AGN and the only way get it connecting to my WPA2-AES network was downgrading to linux 3.5. But because I have optimus graphics, this means I can no longer use bumblebee, as it depends on 3.6.
Anyone got a hint for a workaround to get both working?
Thanks
Does the 11n_disable workaround work for you?
Just upgraded to 3.6.5, I still have the problem on Centrino Wireless 100 N, with some differences: now it seems to authenticate but with very low speeds and the connection isn't stable. I haven't found out much more, I'll try to get more information during the week. Right now I still use the 11n disabled.

Booting with intel-wireless

Trying to install Arch on a netbook. Used unetbootin to create a liveusb. How do I boot with this parameter?
"For intel wireless drivers you need to boot with the intel-wireless boot parameter"

schen wrote:Try it without the intel-wireless boot parameter. If if still works, continue on. Also, only a few hours passed before you bumped this thread. Please try to be more patient.
Right, sorry.
Anyway, I got it to boot with that, but now I've realized that's not what I needed, I have an Atheros card.
Thing is, I can't get it to work during the setup.
These are outputs of some commands:
>lspci | grep -i net
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Uknown device 4380 (rev 10)
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 002a (rev 01)
>iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions
iwconfig and ifconfig of wlan and ath 0 through 3 say they don't exist. What am I to do?

Pc laptops Compatible with Intel Wireless Display (WiDi)

I am perplexed and am in need of information/understanding/a reality check.
I recently bought a Lenovo Z570 laptop that was explicitly advertised as supporting Intel Wireless Display (WiDi). I also bought a Belkin Screencast adaptor.
The computer arrived and there was the WiDi shortcut on the desktop. I plugged the Screencast adaptor to my tv through an HDMI cable and set the tv to the correct channel for the input. Great so far!
Per Intel's list of updates (http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-033375.htm), I went through and updated the wireless driver and then the Graphics driver. When I tried to update the Intel Wireless Display software, the process was aborted. And my screencast said that the monitor display could not be sent to tv.
After a lot of searching, I realized that my i5-2450M processor does not appear on Intel's list of compatible processors. System requirements can be found at http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm which says that the processor must be:
ONE of the following:
Intel® Core™ i7: 640M; 660LM; 640LM; 620LM; 620M; 610E; 690UM; 680UM; 660UM; 640UM; 620UM; 660UE; 2710QE; 2820QM; 2720QM; 2635QM; 2630QM; 2657M; 2649M; 2629M; 2620M; 2617M; 2540M; 2520M; 2510E; 2640LM; 2620LM; 2630UM; 2610UM; 2530UM; 2920XM
Intel® Core™ i5: 580M; 560M; 540M; 520M; 480M; 460M; 450M; 430M; 580UM; 560UM; 540UM; 520UM; 470UM; 430UM; 2540M; 2520M; 2410M; 2537M
Intel® Core™ i3: 390M; 380M; 370M; 350M; 330M; 330E; 2310M
Strange, but at that point I was just angry that the store and/or Lenovo had made a whopping mistake. After all, the WiDi shortcut and program was on my laptop; there has to be a reason for that, right?
After a lot of searching, I haven't come up with any answers, only more questions. Here on Best Buy, I searched for pc laptops that support WiDi. A list of 36 or 37 machines came up as qualifying. However, in going through them one by one, only a handful have processors that appear on Intel's list for the System Requirements.
I am very confused. Is Intel's list out of date? But if that's so, why didn't my attempt to update and use the software work? Are bestbuy and costco and multiple laptop makers mistaken when they say a machine is capable of supporting Wireless Display? What the heck is going on? Can anyone help me figure this out?
The Lenovo is on it's way back, but I need a new laptop as my old one is literally falling apart. A new one with WiDi would be extremely useful for a disabled family member. I'm also stuck with the Screencast I bought now too. Beyond all that, I'm really curious what is going on. Am I just stupid or befuddled or . . .is there something I'm missing? Any help would be so, so appreciated. Thank you.

The notebook does fully support WiDi but for some unknown reason, yours simply did not work. The CPU specs from Intel list WiDi as a capability of the CPU and the notebook has the appropriate hardware. I couldn't say why it didn't work but Lenovo does not advertise WiDi as a function of that model on their website so something is obviously off.

T60 WLAN COMPLETELY GONE after installing latest Update Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP

I just reinstalled a T60 from scratch TWICE to the point of updating - Intel Wireless Wifi Link for Windows XP -
Just after that very latest Update (3.1.1.1 or so?) there is no WLAN possible and I had to find out, that a system restore is impossible either! (Simply does not work and asks me to get another point and try again)
I have a full backup done by acronis 2010 so that does not bother me so very much.
The point is that I like to WARN everybody to install that Update to their T60 e.g. 2008YWJ !!!
(contains 3945AGB WLAN Module!)
After Updating U HAVE NO CHANCE TO REPAIR IT! U get always the problem signature
szAppName: AcSvc.exe szAppVer: 5.6.1.33 szModName: PfMgrApi.dll
szModVer : 13.0.0.2 offset: 000d4912
and the System wants to report that stuff to MicroSoft...again and again...every time u
start AccessConnections.
U can DEinstall AccessConnections and Intel Wireless Wifi Link for XP completely, reboot
and REinstall it....just 2 get the same messages and NO WLAN anymore.
I could not get out of this Driver Installation Hell until I did a complete Recovery Install and
I got back to Hell when System Update REinstalled Intel Wireless WiFi Link for XP
automagically...;-(((
And again NO CHANCE to roll back, No chance to get rid of that annoying bug. This time I have an ACRONIS-Image so I can spare some time....
Somebody shoud really CHECK this, because it should not be possible to break down an completely NICE RUNNING Thinkpad THIS WAY just by updating it! As it took me abaout 12 Hours of Administration by now I
really would apreciate to help whomever to find out what the hell is responsible 4 this !!!
Why is XP System Restore not working on an T60 to roll back to Point b4 installation of this Update???
(I could not use that Thinkvantage-System Recovery because it did not even get all its updates by the
time the system went in limbo during install! What i defintely can say is that it breaks at exactely
same point when Intel Wifi Updates is installed...
I do my Acronis Restore now and try 2 avoid this Update....;-(
if anybody KNOWS how to get that system 2 an earlier point of an install orgy i whould be thankful to get that information...
I am keeping alive 12 Thinkpads here R40 R50 T42 T43 T60 T61p T400 T500 and NEVER
experienced problems like this in many years!
cheers

gal9000, welcome to the forum,
have you tried running windows system restore from safe mode? It usually works then because some anti-virus softwares will prevent it from running successfully from "normal" windows.
Hope this helps.

Z77A GD-65: Windows 7 not installing/running with Intel SATA controller.

I've been having some weird issues with the Intel SATA controllers on-board. They won't let me install Windows at all. I'm using a Crucial m4 with the 0309 firmware.
When I was trying to install Windows with the SSD connected to the Intel SATA controller, installation would always fail sometime around the "Completing Installation" segment. I tried ACHI mode, IDE mode, nothing worked.
So I decided to try hooking up my SSD to the ASMedia controller instead, despite that being advised against. Windows was able to install and run fine on that connection. After that, I installed all of Intel's chipset drivers and all the updates available for Windows, hoping it would resolve the problem.
Then, I connected the SSD to the Intel port again. Now I get a BSOD every time I try to start windows, even though it has drivers for the chipset available.
I'm really upset by this... it seems like I'm going to have to settle for inferior SATA 6 performance just so I can run Windows. :(

Quote from: Warner on 24-May-12, 03:58:56
You can't install OS with ASMEDIA port, and then switch to Intel port.
So basically, if I can't get it to install on the Intel port, I'm stuck using the other one... well, the performance isn't optimal, but I guess it's acceptable as a failsafe. Better than nothing.
Quote
Try doing a new installation based on the Intel port, load Intel driver on HDD screen, and proceed.
What Intel driver do I need, and how do I load it during Windows installation?

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

I have just read that it is informative but I am not sure of what that will do inorder for me to be able to install Arch on My tem gig partition, when I am in ubuntu I stat gparted to see what the names of my partitions are and this is what it shows /dev/sda3 swap 1gig /dev/ sda2 reiserfs 10 gigs ( where I want to install Arch) sda1 / Ubuntu how do I install arch onto dev/sda 2 ) the ten gig partition) if arch doesn't see it? do I have to delete the partition or formaste the 10 gig partition differently? I am pretty new to Linux so I am not sure of how to do this.

ok edit two I think that I have Arch install but I am not sure of which way to use
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

Problems connecting on Wireless 802.11n with my T61 with Intel Wireless AGN

Hi, I live in Thailand and have a similar problem as others with my Intel Wireless AGN connection as others. I have a D-Link Model DSL-2740B Rangebooster N ADSL2/2+ Modem Router. It is supposed to support 802.11n draft wireless connections of up to a maximum of 270 MBPS versus 54 MBPS for 802-11G wireless. Of course, I don't expect it to reach the maximum transfer speed, particularly here in Thaiand, however I would expect it to produce results better than the 54 MBPS rate for 802-11G. I first tried it on my ThinkPad T61 which incorporates Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. When connected, it shows a speed of 54MBPS (802-11G) instead of higher wireless 802-11n speeds. I've upgraded my router to the latest firmware and have tried different configurations with no improvement in performance. One think I have noted is that when I make an on-line configuration change to my router configuration then select "apply", immediately my ThinkPad rate changes to 150 MBPS momentarily then my connection is lost (to be expected as the router changes are being implemented), followed by reconnection of wireless signal only to return at 54 MBPS again. I also have an older ThinkPad model without built-in wireless capability so I purchased a Belkin wireless 802.11n USB adapter to connect to my router. Again, the maximum connection is at 54 MBPS. When I repeat configuration changes to my router as I did above, my ThinkPad connection momentarily changes to only 1 MBPS instead of 150 MBPS as in my other T61 ThinkPad then reverts back to 54 MBPS once the configuration changes have been completed. Has anyone successfully used wireless 802.11n successfully at the higher transfer rates (above 54 MBPS)? Is it possible that my TOT Goldcyber connection speed is artificially limited? I notice that my rated speed for my desktop computer connected to my same D-Link DSL-2740B only indicates a rated speed of 100 MBPS. I use Vista Home Premium 64-bit on my destop, Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my ThinkPad T61, but us Windows XP Professional on my older ThinkPad. I feel that my problem is either with my ADSL carrier (TOT) or compatibility with my D-Link DSL-2740B Modem Router and my ThinkPad T61 internal wireless card and/or Belkin wireless n USB adapter. IT-City is letting me swap out the Belkin USB for the D-Link Rangebooster n DWA-140 USB adapter next week when they restock. The only other think that I can think of is that wireless n just doesn't work in Thailand and that maybe I should just stick with wireless G and go with a higher powered wireless USB model such as the business rated EmGenius EUB 362 EXT. Has anyone used this model and had good success with it; I've heard that it is a long range model and has the capability of reaching 108 MBPS through some sort of magic? Looking forward to reading your replies and possible solution.

Hi!
Intel Wi-Fi cards support full 802.11n speed of 300 Mb/s working at 5 GHz range only. Your D-Link DSL-2740B works only in 2.4 GHz range. So to get 300 Mb/s you have to get another wi-fi router that supports 802.11n in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, for instance Lynksys WRT610N or Apple Airport Extreme or whatever.

How install Arch with Gentoo Live CD?

The Arch install Cd don't work at my new Laptop with external CDrom.
But I can boot from a Gentoo Live CD, how can I install Arch from the gentoo Live CD?

That will work for a liveCD too. I've done it a few times.
Really? Must I modify the How To?
Wich Live CD do you use?

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
EDIT: Heres a link to where its at in the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#Wireless_Quickstart_For_the_Live_Environment just scroll down a little bit

Dell Studio Laptop with Intel Core i5 S15Z with Intel Wireless Display issues (WIDI) (pkg deal)

i bought this laptop in Jan,2010 . Due to some h/w issue BB replace it in April. When i tested my wireless display capability using the the Intel Wireless Display option i got a message "Intel My Wifi Technology not enabled. Restart the computer and try again." i have restarted my laptop several times. Also in the icon tray when i keep the mouse pointer on top of Intel My Wifi Technology it gives a message "Adapter not found". Please help.
I took the laptop to Geek squad in BB and they told me that they need to put the laptop to factory defualt and troubleshoot the issue that why the wireless adapter is not enabled.
Any suggestion as i don't want to go through this madness of backing up the data and restoring again. This will be my 3rd time . Any other alternatives .
Anybody using the above system with Netgear push2tv . Can you share the output of device manager as i like to see what wireless device you are seeing as i am suspecting this laptop may not have one but then sice i see the s/w available i am confused ?

Almost every time we see a WIDI display issue, it is because the user is trying to use it too far away from the t.v.. It has a very short distance and when out of range, shows an adapter not found error. Playing with it, we found that over 15 ft it adapter wouldn't connect at all, and the closer the better as far as connectivity.
