Permissions problem with broadcom-wl?

Hi,
I have some sort of a permissions problem:
When typing 'iwconfig' as a user, I get:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11 Nickname:""
Access Point: Not-Associated
And only when typing iwconfig as root I get:
[root@delltux fio]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"AAAA" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:1F:1F:16:3B:9E
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power:32 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Managementmode:All packets received
Link Quality=5/5 Signal level=-39 dBm Noise level=-92 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:22 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Plus, when trying to change the essid manually as root ('iwconfig eth1 essid BBBB'),
it often doesn't work, and I have to remove the wl module, and reload it (and even then, it sometimes doesn't work...)
And - when trying to connect with Wicd, I often get connection problems (it takes forever to connect, only after about 10 tries). If the ssid is set correctly (if I manage to set it...) then commandline dhcp works with no problems.
Does anybody have a suggestion?
Thanks

I'm seeing the exact same issue.  I'd think this is a bug and that non-root users should be able to query the interface for connection info.  The failure of being able to do this is also causing my network monitoring tools (kwifimanager and knemo) to show missing and/or erroneous data.
Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Permissions problem with external HD

    Prior to updating to 10.4.3, I was able to write to any external HD to transfer large files betweek my iBook and a windows PC. After upgrading, I am no long able to use 3 out of the 4 external HDs that I used to be able to. I always get an error message stating a problem with permissions. I get info on the drive and it says read only and will not allow me to change to read and write. I plug the same drive into my Windows PC and change the permissions to read and write, and get the same message when I go back to my iBook, I get the same read only problem.
    Any ideas?

    Eric,
    I, too, apologize for the delay in posting. I have been away from the discussions for a rather extended period.
    Well, any NTFS formatted volume will only be accessible to you as read only. No, this is not something new, but has always been the case. To make matters worse, I have heard that Windows no longer provides any way to create a FAT-32 volume; one must use OS X to format the volume or use a third-party application in Windows. This information may be incorrect, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is true (we're talking about Microsoft, here).
    If you can copy any data on this drive to some other location, then use Disk Utility to format it as FAT-32, the data can then be copied back and it can be used to transport the data cross-platform, with read/write access on both ends. Is this a possibility for you?

  • [PX6-300D] Access permissions problem with shares

    Hello,
    Let me explain the problems.
    When i try to connect one share to PC by mapping network device everything is normal - we have access to the storage and so on, but when i try to simply type the \\address\share in explorer i'm receiving "\\address\share is not accessible" popup window.
    Strange here is that i can access the \\storageDevice but i can't access the \\storagedevice\Sharename
    With lot of clicking and editing accounts in px6 i didn't received results, but i tried to increase the security for local network encryption to Always and voila i received access to the share and 15 minutes later i loss it again. (worked one time only)
    My big problem is that i use Acronis backup solution and the software can't find the share where the backups are.
    In last 10 days i have 5 successfull backups and 5 failed due to access problems with the device.
    Can any one help?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Stimar
    Is the unit connected to a domain controller?  Are you having issues accessing the shares using a domain user or a local user, both?
    If connected to a domain, have you set a preferred server ?  If not, the unit will use the DNS under the Network page to try resolve the AD server.  You will want to make sure you have the correct preferred server or DNS or you may run into permission issues.
    Double check that the user(s) have at least read access permissions from the web interface, if you have the file level encryption option enabled, you may need to adjust permissions from your domain controller as well.
    If you are on a different sub-net than the px6 that can cause share access issues.

  • Package permissions problem with Snow Leopard

    Under Leopard, changing permissions at the Get Info window for a package file also changes the package contents to the same permission settings. This no longer works in Snow Leopard. For example, I have tried adding another user name with read & write privileges. The package file displays the correct setting, but all the contents of the package have the newly added user as read only. This is causing me problems with a virtual machine I want to share with other users of my computer. I also tested it with iWork (Pages) packages - in Leopard the package contents keep the r&w setting for the new user, but not in Snow Leopard. Note that for package files, there is no option to apply to contents, as is the case for folders, but it should do it automatically.
    I would be grateful if someone could verify this bug. Also, I intend to use chmod -R at the terminal, but I am not sure how to use it to add a specific user with r&w privileges, so any help appreciated.
    Many thanks
    George

    I don't believe it's ever worked you the way you describe in leopard. I just tried it on my leopard machine with an application package and changing permissions to the package itself did nothing to its contents.
    you can change permissions recursively from terminal but it's easier from GUI.
    make a folder and put the package in that folder. *DO NOT* use system created folders for this. go to the permissions panel for the folder and set permissions as you like. then click on the "gears" action button at the bottom of the "get info" popup and select "apply to enclosed items". This will change permissions recursively on everything in that folder.
    NOTE: as I said, never do it with system created folders as they often have hidden ACLs and doing so will propagate those ACLs inside.
    to give a particular user read+write right to the whole package from terminal run the following terminal command
    chmod -R +a "username allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,deletechild,readattr,writeattr,
    readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity" /path/to/package

  • Problem with broadcom driver (wl) - can't set essid

    After a long history of failure installing linux on Mac hardware, I thought I'd try once again try installing Arch a MacBook (4,1) containing the Broadcom BCM4328 wireless card.
    I followed the instructions on this wiki page (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312) and installed the broadcom driver from AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514).
    A couple of strange behaviors resulted. The first is that after the module installation, the wireless interface was set to eth0 and the ethernet interface is set to eth1. Not sure if this is a problem, but it was new to me.
    That said, eth0 (wireless) was up and able to detect my wireless network with "iwlist eth0 scan".
    My attempt to set the essid, however, failed.
    I issued the following commands:
    ifconfig eth0 up
    iwconfig eth0 essid "homeplate"
    But when I typed:
    iwconfig eth0
    it still showed essid as empty ("").
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone encountered similar problems with the Broadcom driver?

    I got it to work, I used the package from AUR (I Have a broadcom 4322, totally wish it was something else =p)
    yaourt -S broadcom-wl
    Anyways, then I added the modules 80211_crypt_tkip and wl in rc.conf. At first I tried to use Wicd, but it wouldn't start at one point, and at another couldn't find any wireless hotspots. I decided to give network manager a try. So I downloaded and installed networkmanager, and network-manager-applet .
    pacman -S networkmanager network-manager-applet
    It was able to find the wireless connections at this point, and I was able to connect(WEP Hex key) definitly did not get full speed that I have gotten from other distros typically 700k+, it was bouncing around 100-200. Mind you this was after a long process of trying to load wl as a daemon (DOH!) and I was completely stumped as to why it wouldn't work. Anyways, hopes this help you in someway.
    Broadcom neeeeeeds to give us open source plssssssssssssss.
    Coleys!
    I have ARCH on this computer, but *for now* my laptop is using sabayon (Dual booting arch, It rocks...) Hopefully us broadcom 4322,4328 users get a solution! D=

  • Possible Permissions problems with adobe

    I have been dealing with a problem with Adobe Creative Suites where Photoshop and Illustrator either crash or simply refuse to open files, "Cannot open filetype" errors.
    So I attempted to reinstall the programs from the original discs twice and they still would not work. For some forgotton reason I created a new User Account on the Mac and installed Photoshop in that User and it worked perfectly. I really do not want to have two Admin users on this machine so I would like to get the first user to work properly.
    Anyone know what could possibly be wrong with the permissions on the first user?
    Thanks

  • Permissions problems with Shared files

    In my office of two users I have set up file sharing between two Macs, one is is running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and the other (a PPC machine) is running 10.5.8 (The Leopard Machine was migrated over from a Tiger Machine by doing a fresh install of Leopard and then using Migration Assistant to move the user account off of the Tiger Machine).
    Occasionally, I need to send files to the Leopard Mac from my Snow Leopard machine, so I connect to the other Mac's Shared folder, navigate to the Drop Box, and pop the file in.
    Looking at the file on the other machine, it comes through as Read Only, ie. if I Get Info on it, it says 'you have custom access' and lists users as Nobody: Read Only; (Unknown): Read Only and Everybody: Read Only. These permission remain like this once the file is copied or moved out of the Drop Box.
    I've had a look at the Sharing Prefs on both machines and they are set up to have the admin account as Read and Write and Everyone as Read Only - the Drop box is then set to have the admin account as Read and write and Everyone as Write Only (Drop Box).
    The permissions problems happen in either direction, whether copying from machine A to machine B or vice versa.
    Can someone help me fix this.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip. Once the other user vacated their Mac last night I ran the commands but...
    Unfortunately, I still seem to be having issues with files being 'read only' on the Leopard machine. If I send a file from the Snow Leopard Mac to the Leopard Mac's drop box, it shows up with what looks like read/write access for 'nobody', 'everyone' and 'unknown user', but if I open the file, work on it and try to save via an app's save dialog, it says the file is Read-only. In the words of t'internet: W T F?
    I ran your commands on the Snow Leopard machine too, and curiously, if I send a file from the Leopard machine to the Snow's Drop box, I CAN read and write to the file.
    One thing that troubles me is that My User name is now listed TWICE in the list of permissions I get (My User Name): Custom Access and (My User Name) Read/Write. That seems odd.
    no, that's normal. this happens because of the ACLs.
    Something similar is happening on the Leopard machine too.
    I created a fresh user account on my Snow Leopard Machine to see what the default permissions should be and I get other entries in the permissions list that aren't present on either of the two Machine's main user accounts. Users such as 'Staff', for example. Frankly, I'm lost.
    I've read somewhere that there could be permissions problems on machines where user accounts have been upgraded from Tiger to Leopard as is the case with one of the machines in question.
    yes, that could be. we can fix that if necessary.
    I've also read that I can do a complete reset of ACLs by using the Reset Password utility on the Leopard installer DVD. Would this be worth a go, and could it cause more problems if it doesn't work?
    yes, you can try resettings ACLs on the leopard machine using the leopard install disk. however, the acl reset utility on the leopard disk is somewhat buggy and sets wrong groups on everything it touches. therefore after you are done with it, reboot normally and run the following terminal command
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    you'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see). that's normal.
    If you can bear it, could you please help me some more. Thanks very much.

  • Permissions problems with multiple discs in Mac Pro

    Hi.
    I have three discs in my Mac Pro. One is the boot drive, which is an SSD, another is a 2TB Seagate and the other is a smaller spare for setting stuff aside. The SSD and 2TB drives are NOT a fusion drive. They work okay but there are problems with permissions and I am trying to figure out what the permissions on each need to be for them to work in close harmony. The user account is on the boot drive but music and photo libraries, for example, are referenced on the big drive.
    Permissions on the boot drive show: system - r&w, wheel - ro, everyone - ro...
    On the big drive they are: Drieu(Me) - r&w, staff - r&w and everyone - ro. Ignore ownerships is not ticked and I am undecided about this.
    None of these seems to be correct. I know how much chaos can ensue if changes are made rashly, so I am loth to experiment but things are wrong enough to need to do something. Does anyone have any suggestions, given I am not sharing the machine with anyone, other than the default public folder.
    The spare drive has Drieu (Me) - r&w, system - ro, admin - r&w and everyone - ro!

    The Samsung 840 pro SSD boot disc
    10.9.5 and later turn ON kext signing, which turns OFF TRIM Enabler. A non-Apple SSD without TRIM cannot eliminate deleted files, so it will eventually become choked with an accumulation of deleted data. Doing the Install under these conditions could add 20GB or more of deleted data, and it could become super-slow.
    The 2TB disk [that was the Boot Disk]
    that permissions over the whole disc vary. Some files require that I enter the password to move them.
    Permissions for different folders vary widely. For example, System Directories are write-locked to you, and moving files from them would require that you authenticate as Admin.
    Files transferred from the desktop to this disc require to have the command key applied to move, rather than copy.
    The default in a Drive-to-Drive transfer IS Copy. To change that to Move, you must hold the Command or Option key. This is a Documented Feature, and is working as designed. Default for Folder-to-Folder On the same Drive is Move.
    I also find that when modifying blocks of files they can suddenly disappear and I have to come out and run round the block before I can go back in to finish the job. It works okay but it is unnerving, despite having a backup.
    One or both of those drives may be having problems. What you describe does not sound normal.

  • TP10 problem with Broadcom wifi driver

    I have problem with the Broadcom 802.11 wireless connection card. Device manager said the driver of the wireless card can not start (error code 10) and the bcmfn2 said that waiting another device (code 51). Initially thought that a software problem. Meanwhile I tried all drivers, system recovery, reinstallation, reset, etc. The problem is constant and begin to think that it is a hardware problem. I installed 1.37 bios and still the problem exist. Anyone with this problem or solvation?

    I followed this to get mine working.

  • Permissions problems with sound track pro and garage band

    I am having a problem with the loops and sounds in Garageband and SoundTrack Pro. When I attempt to use a sound in garage band,  I get an error "an eror occurred   result code = -5000   File = Garageband-Temp-54E281E". When I do a search there are about 58 separate folders with loops or effects in them. If I isolate the one I want to use and change the permissions of the folder to everyone read and write I can use the sound, but I don't want to manually change the permissions for 58 seperate folders. I ran repair permissions using disk utility but that did not fix it. Any suggestions, I have a lab of 22 imacs, if it was just one I would just fix the permissions on it but for 22 separate machines, I would like some automation. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I'll also add that I'm pretty sure I used this microphone along with the iMic USB a few years ago when I had my 'quicksilver' Mac G4 and it worked with that machine. As noted above, I've tried it with both a 2 channel and both the mono channel settings in Garage Band; but I am using a 1/4" to 1/8" jack adapter in order to plug into the iMic's 1/8" receptacle. The adapter is stereo to stereo, meaning it has both contacts for r & l. That shouldn't make a difference should it? In my experience if you are using mono equipment (like a single microphone) the sound will still be delivered through one of the two channels.

  • Permissions problem with files from a backup (Timemachine)

    I had to re-image the Mac. I took the back up I had from the time machine HDD and put it back on the users AD acccount (which has Admin rights). The user has no problems with the files, but when the user tries to drag to the trash bin, it wants the you the authenticate with admin account and password in order to move to trash bin, but if she creates a new file she has no problems moving files to the trash bin. So the users account has admin rights to the Mac. The permissions on files from her time machine back up are R/W and any new ones she creates are R/W to her account. I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. any suggestions?

  • Permissions problem with External Hard drive.

    Hi,
    I've been using my external hard drive for almost a year now and out of the blue last night I ran into a interesting problem. For some reason I couldn't transfer any files to a thumb drive and shortly after I realized I didn't have Read and write permissions for any files on my mac, and everything required my password to get to. I went into disk utility and repaired the permissions and the list went on forever. Upon completion of that nothing was resolved.
    SO! I popped in my Snow leopard disk and did a repair of the permissions and system through there hoping that would fix it. I than booted up the main drive and got stabbed in the face with a HUGE error message upon the apple loading screen with a "MISSING DRIVER" "KERNAL ERROR" "CORRUPT FILE" etc.
    I went back and did a restore from my external harddrive hoping that would work, and it did. I can access my time machine backups from my external harddrive but cannot do so through my own control.
    What should I do? Should I reformat my external harddrive? Which would suck because I'm a paranoid freak and if something would happen during the reformatting I will lose literally over a year of work that is crucial.

    Again, what's on that drive? Do you have a clone and TM backups on the same external? If so, are they in the same partition?

    This one says you need to repair or reformat the disk; that means your backups are corrupted.
    Try to do a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on it.
    If there are errors that Disk Utility can't fix, or the +*Repair Disk+* option is grayed out (meaning OSX has already determined that it can't fix it), post back.

  • Permissions problem with old Windows XP folders & files

    Hi,
    I migrated about 8.7 gig of files (21,742) from a set of folders on a Windows machine some time ago. I know keep them on my iMac HD and access them through VMWare Windows XP instances and shared folders.
    I want to copy the entire folder to an external drive for taking to client sites, use on windows laptops etc.
    However, there are long standing file permission errors within the folder structures that raise the following error during a copy.
    "The operation cant be completed because you don't have the permission to access some of the items".
    I have tried setting the permissions on the top level folder, setting the bit to "apply to enclosed items". I have run disk repair, permissions repair & I have used Disk Warrior to do the same. I have removed as many of the dodgy Windows style files that are unrecognisable (eg. .LNK files) but no joy.
    I tried running a SUDO CHOWN command recommended in another post, but it didn't work.
    Does anyone know what might be at the root of the problem. I need an automate solution to this as there are too many folders & files to deal with individually and if I start chucking things out Murphy's law says I will need the ones I ditch.
    Thanks
    Eric

    Download a program called BatChmod and use it to change all of the permissions. It works better than the Finder at fixing permissions on a deep folder hierarchy.
    Chown only changes the owner of the files. It doesn't change the posix permissions.
    Chmod is the command that changes the posix permissions. You can use BatChmod to do it in a GUI, or use this in Terminalsudo chmod -R u=rwx, go=rx after copying this to the Terminal, drag your folder to the Terminal window and hit return.

  • BCS Set Permissions problem with PowerShell

    Hello, I am seeing an odd behavior, was wondering if anyone else encountered this problem before.
    I have a large BDC Model with multiple Entities (ECTs) that was created with Visual Studio, as part of the process we have a Powershell script that iteritates all the entities and sets their permissions to the 'All Authenticated Users' group. 
    $serviceContextURL="https://ACME.dsi-sp.com/"
    $ECTNamespace="ACMEBusinessDataConnectivityModel.ACMEReportingPortal"
    [String[]]$permissions=@("Execute","Edit","SelectableInClients","SetPermissions")
    $bdc = Get-SPBusinessDataCatalogMetadataObject -BdcObjectType Catalog -ServiceContext $serviceContextURL
    # Get the list of all LOB systems
    $lobs = $bdc.GetLobSystems("ACMEReportingPortal")
    Foreach($lob in $lobs){
        $lobEntities = $lob.Entities
        Write-Host $lob.DefaultDisplayName
        foreach($entity in $lob.Entities) {
            write-host "ECTName: " $entity.Name
            $ECTName = $entity.Name
            $ECT = Get-SPBusinessDataCatalogMetadataObject -BdcObjectType "Entity" -ServiceContext $serviceContextURL -Name $ECTName -Namespace  $ECTNamespace
            if($ECT-ne $null)
                 $user = New-SPClaimsPrincipal -EncodedClaim "c:0(.s|true"
                 Grant-SPBusinessDataCatalogMetadataObject -Identity $ECT -Principal $user -Right $permissions
                 write-host "Permissions set for " $ECTName
            else
                 write-host -f Yellow $ECTName external content type does not exists
    The script works fine as expected, however when you try to access the External List that is based on one of these ECTs, you get access denied. I then go into BCS validate the permissions are set as expected i.e. 'All Authenticated Users' is selected with
    the four permission, and it looks fine. try again access denied. I then go and remove the 'All Authenticated Users' group from Permissions, and manually re-add it back, try the External list again, now it works. !
    Has one seen this before or can comment on why it is not working with powershell?  is there a service recycling needed perhaps or something like that?
    Thanks in advance, mark

    Thanks for responding. 
    its too repetitive to keep adding permissions via CA, there are a lot of entities and we are in a constant state of developing the BDC solution so we are deploying it a lot.
