Linksys AE1200 wifi adapter with Broadcom BCM43235 driver not working

I followed the instructions on the Broadcom wireless page from ArchWiki, and I tried every method, and none worked at all. The interface never showed up with "ifconfig -a", and I could not get ndiswrapper to work with the windows drivers either. Any suggestions for alternate ways?

That doesn't say anything except that the device is powered on. It does not say anything about the OS. The OS should know something, the docs claim that the brcmfmac driver supports it, but you haven't provided any info for us to know what's going on. ewaller gave you the hint: dmesg. Also exact lsusb output would be nice, so we'll know the usb-id of the device.

  • DVI to Video Adapter with NVIDIA 8800 GT not working

    Hi all. I have the new Mac Pro Octo (mar '08) with the NVIDIA GFORCE 8800 GT card. I cannot find anywhere what may be wrong. Only on the Apple Website for the adapter that the only Mac Pro it works with is the Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT). However, both tech support and Apple's Store staff said this would work, prior to buying it. Well, my computer does not recognize the TV monitor hooked up via S-Video. I've powered everything down, restarted, unplugged and replugged in both orders, and switched inputs on the TV and receiver both. Nothing.
    Any one know if this does or does not work with this computer???
    Thanks.

    Never mind. Found this out via Apples own website. Thanks APPLE TECH SUPPORT and STORE STAFF for getting me to buy a useless cable!
    Mac Pro Computers (January 2008)
    The Mac Pro computers with Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 Series microprocessors were introduced in January 2008. The Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem interfaces to the North Bridge via a 16-lane PCIe 2.0 bus. For information on the PCI Express graphics support and expansion, refer to PCI Developer Note.
    The following sections describe the Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem.
    Graphics Cards
    Supported graphics cards have dual-link DVI connectors, supporting 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays on both ports.
    For information on video memory, power, and features refer to Table 1.
    All of the supported graphics cards support dual displays in either extended desktop or video mirroring mode; for more detail, see “External Display Modes.”
    Table 1 Supported Graphics Cards
    Graphics card
    Video SDRAM
    Power usage
    ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (standard)

    512 MB (GDDR3)
    110 W
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 (configure to order)
    1536 MB (GDDR3)
    175 W
    The GeForce 8800GT graphics card requires that a booster cable be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. The Quadro FX 5600 graphics card requires two booster cables be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. For additional information, refer to the PCI Developer Note.
    The Mac Pro supports the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display at a resolution of 1680 x 1050, the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 1920 x 1200, and the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 2560 x 1600. All ports support a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 at 32-bit with 85 Hz refresh rate. Multiple PCI Express graphics cards can support three or more displays.
    The table below lists the displays supported by port 1 and port 2.

    For information on video ports, see “Video Monitor Ports.” For information on PCI Express expansion slots, refer to PCI Developer Note.
    Video Monitor Ports
    The Mac Pro has a DVI connector for an external video monitor. For a description of the DVI connector, refer to Figure 4 and Table 30.
    The graphics data sent to the digital monitor use transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS). TMDS uses an encoding algorithm to convert bytes of graphics data into characters that are transition-minimized to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) with copper cables and DC balanced for transmission over fiber optic cables. The TMDS algorithm also provides robust clock recovery for greater skew tolerance with longer cables or low-cost short cables.
    Note: The Mac Pro computer includes a DVI to VGA Adapter.
    DVI to Video Adapter
    The Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card supports an optional DVI to S-video/composite adapter that provides S-video and composite output to a PAL or NTSC video monitor or VCR. When a display is connected by way of the video adapter, the computer detects the type of adapter and enables the composite and S-video outputs. The settings for the resolutions and standards (NTSC or PAL) are then selectable in the Display pane in System Preferences.
    Note: The DVI to Video Adapter does not come packaged with the Mac Pro computer and must be purchased separately.
    The video output connector is a 7-pin S-video connector. Figure 5 shows the arrangement of the pins and Table 31 shows the pin assignments on the composite out and S-video connector.
    The Mac Pro computer provides video output at picture sizes and frame rates compatible with the NTSC and PAL standards; the picture sizes are listed in Table 32. Those picture sizes produce under-scanned displays on standard monitors.

  • Wifi adapter of Satellite M30 does not work anymore

    During these last couple of days the wifi adapter in my Satellite M30 have had a way of dying once a day.
    The first time I still had a light and I could see when I turned it on and off. When that didn't help to get it going again, I decided to reboot and the wifi died completely.
    Later, when I did a scan for hardware changes in the Device Manager, the adapter popped back up in the list of devices again and worked just fine.
    At least up until today. A couple of hours ago it died again for no obvious reason and now I simply cannot get it back at all.
    I might mention that yesterday the light didn't come back on after I did that scan for hardware changes and got it to work again.
    When I tried to update the drivers it keep telling me that the drivers are already up to date and now I don't know what to do.
    Is this a hardware problem and what can I do about it?
    This laptop was 4 years and well used just a few days ago btw, but it never been taken apart and I've never had to send it in for service.
    I would appreciate any help I can get.
    Christa

    Hi there,
    thats definetly a hardware problem and it can only be resolved by exchanging the wireless LAN card. You can check if it works under linux (just download some live-CD e.g. knoppix, and let the OS recognise the wifi card - if it wont recognise then its definetly broken).
    You could also contact an Authorized Service Provider and ask them for a hardware checkup but I guess they will charge you for that.
    You have the choice... :)

  • When is Apple going to fix the problem with external hard drive not working on Lion?

    As for everyone else external hard drive does not work with Lion.
    When will Apple fix this problem. Do they just ignore the customer : (

    Copy off all your data off the NTFS formatted drive to another drive
    Open Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder
    Select your external NTFS drive on the far left,  should have the drive makers name, a ID perhaps plus the word "media"
    Click the Partition Tab, click the big box and click 1 Partition
    If you want a Mac only drive > Option: GUID >format OS X Extended (Journaled)
    If you want a Mac/PC drive (for over 4GB sized files) > Option: MBR > format exFAT
    If you want a Mac/PC drive (for the most compatibility with other devices, Win XP, but only under 4GB sized files) > Option: MBR > format MSDOS (FAT or FAT32)
    Give it a name and click Apply.
    You can also search Microsoft for a free exFAT download if you have Win XP.

  • USB wifi adapter with Firefox OS?

    I recently bought a product called Via APC. It is similar to the Raspberry Pi, only it has Firefox OS pre-installed.
    My question is, can I use a USB wifi adapter with Firefox OS? Will it recognize it automatically or will I need to do anything?

    I would recommend contacting APC for more information...
    Thanks!

  • Iomega external USB drive not working

    Hello, I have a K8n neo4f board, 1.9 bios, AMD64x2 4400. For some strange reason my external USB drive doesn't work with this setup. I get i/o or insufficient resource errors, and the system will hang. This is puzzling since I have plenty of system resources available (2G ram), and my USB inputs work with other devices. I currently have a dvd drive, ir receiver,memory card adapter, and a cordless mouse receiver plugged in. All of these devices work flawlessly. There is nothing wrong with the external drive, it works with my Dell Inspiron 8200 Laptop. Is this a bios issue, should I upgrade to the latest 1b ? I'm hesitant of doing so, because of the horror stories I've read in this forum of systems becoming unuseable. Maybe someone with a similar problem can help me out.

    Are you sure this is not software related .

  • HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

    My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?  Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone.  I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address.  I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • HP deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7

    This procedure is much too complicated for an average user. You know that millions of Wondow XP users are switching to Windows 7. I' sure that most of them are facing similar problems. HP should come with a user friendly solution that solves the above issues. Don't you think?
    My problem remains unsolved.

    Hi dvh,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your HP Deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7.
    Do you see any error messages with the installer? Or does it just close out and doesn't install?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Has anyone had a problem with the spotlight search not working sometimes?

    Has anyone had a problem with their "spotlight search" not working? If I restart the phone it will work for a few days then not work again.

    It's more likely the OP's router.  I have a wifi only iPad 2, yet location services work just fine on my iPad.  If I open maps, my location is found quite nicely.  I have seen that some routers do not provide location services and I suspect the OP has such a router.

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.
