No wireless network on sony vaio vpc-cw2s1e

Hello there!
Sorry for bad english first of all. So to my problem:
When I try to connect to my router that got wpa2 password thingi, I just cant.
I have tried wcid kdeplasma-applet-networkmanagement and created a group called
networkmanager, even added my user to root. I can scan and find my network but i cant
connect to it. Im bit of a noob to archlinux, only used ubuntu and the like where the wireless
worked, althoug dodgy whit dropped packages but I could surf.
I just probobly missed to install some package and the like, but it is no fun whitout wireless.
Thanks for the help

There's a ton of information in the Wiki, forums, and Google.  Maybe those will help.

Aside:  Arch Linux is fundamentally different from Ubuntu in its philosophy.  It doesn't do things for you like Ubuntu does, because it's made to only do what you want it to do.  You can read more about it at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way

  • SONY VAIO VPC F13

    Good day forum. I am looking for a SONY VPC F13 laptop. Where can I get it if not what other closely related alternative are there with similar specs.

    Hi qlex, welcome to Sony Community! 
    Based on the specifications that we have, your Vaio VPC-P113KX is not compatible with VGP-PRZ20A. The docking station VGP-PRZ20A needs to be connected to a 19.5V laptop. You Vaio unit supports 10.5V. And the connectors possibly won't fit.
    VGP-PRZ20A:
    VPC-P113KX
    Thanks!

  • [SOLVED] Sony Vaio Keys don't work (probably udev issue)

    Hardware: SONY VAIO VPC-EH2L1R
    Linux distribution: archlinux, XFCE
    udev versions: 177, 178 (core), udev-git 20120123-1 (AUR)
    keyboard driver: evdev
    At least a week earlier I had some of Sony Vaio Keys working: Volume control (Fn+F2: mute, Fn+F3: down, Fn+F4: up) and Brightness control (Fn+F5: down, Fn+F6: up). Other Vaio Keys (Fn+F1: touchpad switch, Fn+F7: switch video mode, Fn+F12: suspend) never worked.
    At some point (I think after updating to udev-177-1) Brightness control keys stopped working. Volume control keys still work.
    Brightness control still works directly via acpi.
    I know this may sound like this bug, but that solution doesn't work for me - neither updating to udev-git nor manually loading the keymap.
    My keyboards are:
    [ajaxas@r2d2 ~]$ /lib/udev/findkeyboards
    AT keyboard: input/event0
    module: input/event1
    which are actually:
    [ajaxas@r2d2 ~]$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
    I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41
    N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
    P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0
    S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0
    U: Uniq=
    H: Handlers=kbd event0
    B: PROP=0
    B: EV=120013
    B: KEY=402000000 3803078f800d001 feffffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe
    B: MSC=10
    B: LED=7
    I: Bus=0010 Vendor=104d Product=0000 Version=0000
    N: Name="Sony Vaio Keys"
    P: Phys=
    S: Sysfs=/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/device:02/SNY5001:00/input/input1
    U: Uniq=
    H: Handlers=kbd rfkill event1
    B: PROP=0
    B: EV=13
    B: KEY=1f16cf0000 c00000000 10010000000000 200000000 600e00102c00 380000240300400 e000000000000 0
    B: MSC=10
    Now, the funny thing is that (I think) udev loads my keymap correctly:
    [ajaxas@r2d2 ~]$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/{sys_vendor,product_name}
    Sony Corporation
    VPCEH2L1R
    Here is this keymap module-sony (which worked until recently!):
    [ajaxas@r2d2 ~]$ cat /lib/udev/keymaps/module-sony
    0x06 mute # Fn+F2
    0x07 volumedown # Fn+F3
    0x08 volumeup # Fn+F4
    0x09 brightnessdown # Fn+F5
    0x0A brightnessup # Fn+F6
    0x0B switchvideomode # Fn+F7
    0x0E zoom # Fn+F10
    0x10 suspend # Fn+F12
    - but here is where it starts getting curiouser and curiouser.
    My Volume control keys seem to be mapped to input/event0 (keyboard itself):
    [root@r2d2 ajaxas]# /lib/udev/keynap -i input/event0
    scan code: 0xA0 key code: mute
    scan code: 0xAE key code: volumedown
    scan code: 0xB0 key code: volumeup
    and these scan codes correspond not to my keymap (0x06, 0x07, 0x08), but to /lib/udev/keymaps/force-release/common-volume-keys:
    [ajaxas@r2d2 ~]$ cat /lib/udev/keymaps/force-release/common-volume-keys
    0xa0 #mute
    0xae #volume down
    0xb0 #volume up
    So I assume, udev uses force-release rules before other keymaps and maps my Volume control keys to input/event0 (how? I couldn't find the rule!), which is more or less fine with me, but!
    My Brightness control keys, mapped as 0x09 and 0x0A in the keymap, are reported by udev as:
    [root@r2d2 ajaxas]# /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event1
    scan code: 0x10 key code: brightnessdown
    scan code: 0x11 key code: brightnessup
    If I change my keymap file (0x09 -> 0x10, 0x0A -> 0x11) and load keymap manually, nothing changes. And when I reboot with this changed keymap, udev reports this for my Brightness control keys:
    [root@r2d2 ajaxas]# /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event1
    scan code: 0x10 key code: fn_f5
    scan code: 0x11 key code: fn_f6
    Again, nothing works, and keys are not reported as Brightness control keys anymore.
    As I said earlier, updating udev doesn't help.
    Could somebody please help me?
    EDIT: added keyboard driver (evdev) reference.

  • Where is the wireless switch on the sony vaio 14e?

    Where is the wireless switch on the sony vaio 14e? Wifi is connected. Signal strength good. Wlan enabled. No reason to not open but when try resetting connection only possible problem which appears is wireless switch is off, but I can not find a switch, buttonor icon anywhere. Please help!
    Also before I could post I had to "choose a board" but the only one appearing is xperia tablet so that's not too helpful!

    Hi karen260181,
    Please provide us the exact model name of your unit so we can check the specs and provide accurate solutions. You can use this link as a guide to determine the model name of your unit. Thanks!

  • Solaris installaton on Sony Vaio PCG-F707 network not working

    Hi,
    I am new to Solaris, I use unix as a developer no admin experience. I try to install it on my laptop Sony Vaio PCG-F707, which is an European model equivalent to PCG-F403 of american model.
    It detects the display and mose properly. There is an IRQ conflict(IRQ 5) with the sound blaster and PNP device. My network card is on the docking system it connected to the USB. Window detected it as KLSI USB Ethernet Adapter. Physical address is: 08-00-46-02-91-3D.
    Everytime it boots shows the message IRQ conflict. I tried to delete the device and mannually assign the IRQs, but it dectects auto metically and override that. In desktop It saying no sound device found.
    Network is not detected probably. It is showing only one driver to lo0 (127.0.0.1). It successfully pings to localhost only. It doesn't ping to any other window box in the network neither to the netgear router.
    I also try to check the other USB port, by connecting the sony digital camera, it didn't detected by the camera browser program.
    I disable the Plug & Play from the bios and reboot no difference.
    I like the Solaris software very much wish to use it, but without network and sound, it is no use. Please help me on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I am also new to Solaris and I have very similar problem with installation of Solaris 10 on HP Server tc2120.
    In my case, there is no conflict.
    Network monitor is showing only one connection; lo0 (127.0.0.1). I am not able to see and configure the internal network adapter : Integrated Broadcom NC7760 10/100/1000
    Can anyone help me how to configure (to assign IP address; gateway etc..) network adapter on Solaris?
    Thanks in advance..

  • Connecting my Sony BD player to my MacBook Pro wireless network.  It sees the network but it then asks for a WPA security key.  Where do I find this key?

    Connecting my Sony BD player to my MacBook Pro wireless network.  It sees the network but it then asks for a WPA security key.  Where do I find this key?

    Hi Michael,
    It sounds like your router's authentication is set to WPA and thus where the key is established. Does your MacBook Pro connect to a wireless router? If so, that's where you'd need to get the key from via a web-based control panel for the router or if it's an AEBS via AirPort Utility.

    Hi There,
    I appear to be having the same issue. I have been using my provided time warner router and wifi with all of my Apple devices without an issue until recently. It appears that my macbook pro and twc router will not initiate the "handshake". I get a wrong password was entered or network error message. I contacted twc and they reset my router and renamed it along with a new password. This initially fixed the issue for maybe a day or so. Then the problem began all over again. I have been through he ringer, reinstalled osx, deleted plist...etc contacted apple care and twc. At this point both parties have been no help what so ever... So I connected a new western digital wifi router and all of a sudden I'm getting amazing speed and connectivity. I'm still puzzled as to why all of a sudden my macbook pro or Internet would just quit working... If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears and any help would be great.

  • Sony Vaio FZ Series - LCD brightness

    Hi All,
    I have recently bought a Sony VAIO FZ11S and I've successfully installed Archlinux:
    Fully working:
    - CPU Scaling (using cpudyn)
    - Multimedia keys (mute, volume up/down, play/stop, etc. using Xmodmap)
    - Wireless (using iwl3945. Can't connect with AP with hidden SSID)
    - Nvidia GeForce 8400M (using latest nvidia drivers with stock arch kernel 2.6.23)
    - Audio (after adding 'options snd-hda-intel model=vaio' to /etc/modprobe.conf. MIC not tested yet)
    Untested:
    - bluetooth
    - SD/MS card reader
    - Video camera
    NOT WORKING:
    - LCD brightness adjustment: FN+F5/F6 are detected correctly by acpid but nothing happens. I'm using the module sony-laptop included with kernel 2.6. Folder /sys/class/backlight is empty. I can use nvidia-settings to change COLOR BRIGHTNESS but this is NOT a good solution IMHO. I'd like to get the same capabilities I get running Windows Vista. (change LCD backlight).
    I've read somewhere it is a problem common to all laptop with the same NVIDIA videocard. Does anyone know a fix for this? I've also tried with  latest nvidia beta drivers with no success.
    - Hibernate/suspend. I tried with pm-tools to suspend/hibernate laptop but nothing is working correctly. I didn't investigate further. Has anyone got a quick solution for this?

    I recently bought a Sony FZ180, almost identical stats and hardware.
    I tried all the same suggestions, which worked fine on my old laptop, but will not for this one. If anyone can think of another method to control the backlight I would be grateful.
    Also, I tested the SD slot, the TI driver recognizes when a card is inserted, but no devices or mount-points are created.
    tifm_core: MMC/SD card detected in socket 0:1
    tifm0 : demand removing card from socket 0:1
    (The second line is from me removing the card, not a defective slot.)
    Everything else works great, though. Arch boots to a full KDE desktop much, much faster than my cleaned-up vista partition. I'm really happy overall.

  • Connecting Sony Vaio v

    I am using Airport Extreme to connect multiple devices ( iMac, mac mini x2 , macbook , macbook pro, ipod touch, iphone, ps3 x2, wii, apple tv ) all with no problems.
    However, the only windows device i try to connect doesn't work. It's a fairly new ( < 1yr ) Sony Vaio running Vista.
    The Vaio is able to connect to other networks with netgear/belkin wireless routers.... just seems to be a problem with the Airport Extreme
    Any thoughts?

  • Sony vaio does not connect

    Hello.
    I have a Sony Vaio laptop. My main computer is an iMac. Everything I have wirelessly connects to my airport extreme, except the Vaio. I can see my wireless network, but can't connect.

    Its no help to you but I've got the same issue.  Apple have been really helpful and checked out airport and it's running fine BUT it looks like this is a vaio issue.  The smart network or whatever they call it seems to conflict.  I've tried new drivers but not getting anywhere.  Let's hops someone has a fix. I'm fairly good on pcs etc and I've tried to disable the smart network etc and it's just not connecting to the Internet.   I've got 2 iPads, iPhones, iPods apple tv and it works seamlessly.  Just not the Vaio.  Might need to bin windows altogether now after the years of hassle it's caused me.  Good luck sorting your problem out.

  • Airport Express can't find D-Link wireless network

    Hi all,
    I'm on my third AirPort Express. I'm trying to use it in client mode to connect to a D-Link DIR-655 WAP, so I can run AirTunes. The first unit was a Best Buy refurb that I was able to configure fine, but it kept dropping the connection and having other issues, so I returned it. The next two units were fresh from the Apple Store. NEITHER has been able to even find my D-Link SSID - it's not listed in the list of networks to join in client mode, and entering the SSID directly doesn't work either. I've tried resetting both the Airports and D-Links multiple times, changed SSID/broadcast/channel settings, tried turning wireless security on and off... ALL my other wireless devices have no issues whatsoever finding and connecting to the D-Link. This includes a '06 iMac, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPad2, PowerBook G4, MacBook Pro, Sony VAIO laptop, the first refurb AirPort Express... you get the point. I put in a call to Apple for the 2nd unit, and they said the radio must be broken, so I exchanged for the 3rd unit, and it still doesn't see the D-Link. Losing my mind here! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Marc

    Welcome to the discussion area, bob36!
    To do what you want, you'll need the AirPort Express 802.11n. The model number, visible in the fine print on the side is A 1264.
    Is this the model you have? If so, post back for some configuration tips to enable the ethernet port.
    If...you have the older version of the AirPort Express, model A 1084, unfortunately this version will not allow you to do what you want to do unless your main router is also an Apple device and you re-configure both devices to particapte in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
    The downside to the WDS is that it will drop your entire network down to "g" level speeds and cut the bandwidth by 50%.

  • AIRPORT EXTREME - my Sony Vaio can't see it!

    I have just set up a new Airport Extreme using my Mac Powerbook - no problems. However my wife's Sony Vaio (Model PCG-8QEL, 17" desktop replacement) cannot even SEE the base station, let alone connect to the wireless network.
    Her computer works fine with the Airport Express (as opposed to Extreme), and I can't figure out what the problem is.
    All settings match - ie 802.11b and g compatible.
    Does anyone have any ideas...... please help!!!

    lythaby, you are a genius!
    Got 7.1 installed on the AEBS... initially I had the same problem of the DSL line dying the second the Vaio connected... but after a while it was green lights all the way, and I have crystal-clear reception on both computers.
    What was the difference in having 7.1 as opposed to 7.1.1? And does this mean that I won't be able to upgrade the software on the AEBS from now on??
    Many thanks for your help... forever in your debt!
