[REOPEN] netcfg wireless connection works on the second start only

Hi,
subject tells most of it. I have a HP 8510w with a fresh installed arch setup. I migrated the default network connection to a netcfg-based setup. I set my home wifi settings (WPA128bit), and start netcfg. It fails after a timeout with 'Wireless association failed', and right after a quick netcfg restart connects without any problems.
Any idea how to get around this problem?

I can reproduce this here and started experiencing this myself recently. I'll see what I can do...
In the meantime, update to netcfg 2.1 (core) and see if the quirks on the wiki help.

I have an existing new belkin modem router which works fine with quiet a few wired and wireless products in my house. My question is if i buy a time capsule can i put it in another room and wirelessly connect it to the belkin modem router, I would then just like my macbook pro and (imac future purchase) to wirelessly back up to it???????????

Your will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the TIme Capsule to clear out the current network settings and then reconfigure it to "join" your wireless network using the AirPort Utility setup application.
To perform the Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule....
Pull the power cord from the back of the device
Wait a few moments
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule and keep holding it an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back in to the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
On your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Continue
Follow the guided setup and choose the "join" option when it appears duriing the setup
You will need to know the exact type of wireless security that the Belkin router is using to enter this information during the setup of the Belkin. Otherwise, the Time Capsule cannot join the network, and you will receive an error message after the configuration process.

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Do Apple apps work on the iPad or only on the iPhone?

Do Apple apps work on the iPad or only on the iPhone?

Most apps are designed for both devices. Some apps are only designed for the iPhone but will work on the iPad - when used on the iPad you get a small screen that looks like an iPhone (rotation etc... is also more restricted like an iPhone). Some apps only work on the iPad which are specifically designed for the iPad screen real estate - I have a mariner navigation app like that - use it when crossing the Great Lakes on my sail boat. When you go into the App Store you will note that you can search for iPhone apps or iPad apps.

My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

Working on the same start routine

Hi
I just want to know if two people can work on the same start routine using includes at the
same time.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hi Kate,
    In any case if you enter into update rules in change mode it gets locks by user. So you cant see the start routine or update routine /rules.
    In the Editor for Start/ Update Routine you dont have change display button like you have in SE38, because you select the mode before entering the routine. So after this event a lock object gets created in SM12.
     So you can delete lock object in SM12 then you can use. I think simultaneous usage is not possible.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Wireless connection lost in few seconds [solved]

Hi everyone
just come back to Arch after one year. The community grown fast and support seems to be fantastic.
Anyway, I have problems with my wireless connection. I installed the system from cd including ipw2200 driver (the right one for my card).
I followed the entire wiki guide on wireless and it seems to work, wpa_supplicant can associate to the access point and dhcpcd gets an address (valid). I can also ping external addresses (so DNS work too). After 5 seconds, anyhow, if I ping someone I got the message "network is unreachable".
Under windows the AP works fine. it has WPA-TKIP encription.
Thanks everyone

I just managed to solve the problem.
Actually, this problem is only for encripted connections. with open ones it works fine. I just made an attempt on an open router and it works. Then downloaded KDE and WICD and now it works fine also on encripted connections. Maybe WICD uses other modules to manage encription?
@statix: I ran wpa_supplicant manually and there were no errors, even after a long time. Quite strange. Could it be a wpa_supplicant bug? or a dhcpcd one?
@djzapi: kernel 2.6.30. Intel PCI wireless card. 32 bit system.

[SOLVED]Wireless connection becomes deactivated 3 seconds

Good day,
I am new to Arch. I installed Arch successfully and have everything working except the wifi.
My WLAN device is Broadcom's BCM4312 and I have installed b43 driver from AUR. Wired eth0 connection works fine but when I connect using wireless, the connection lasts about 3 seconds(enough time to open 1 or 2 pages). As the sites open during this time, I think my device gets detected properly but somehow fails to keep the connection longer.
Below is the output from dmesg

I tried NetworkManager(with KDE GUI front-end) at first. As I got the same error, I tried wicd(with KDE GUI front-end) and I am still getting the same error. Can somebody help me with this?. Please let me know if you need any information. Thanks in advance

Sorry guys that I did not clearly document the steps clearly in my desperation to get the WiFi working.
I'll try recalling and list here what I did. All steps below are based on what I found on the web, googling the problem plus cfr's suggestion.
1) Spotted this problem first, when I tried connecting using Network Manager(KDE front-end). Thought wicd might solve the problem and installed it, but didn't work.
2) Googled, some had suggested that this problem was related to IPv6. Disabled it, still didn't work. [I just changed the config file with ipv6_disabled=1, didn't touch/restart any services at this step]
3) Googled some more, some suggested that this problem was related to power save mode of the wirless interface. Switched it off, didn't work [I think my hardware doesn't support this mode anyways as I get an "Operation not permitted" when I try to turn it on, but not off ]
4) Some had suggested to kill wpa_supplicant. But this didn't work either as it got spawned automatically every time I killed it with kill -9[Might have been due to NetworkManager]
5) Asked this forum, uninstalled NetworkManager & wicd, disabled netctl & dhcpd, tried the manual method to connect WiFi. This time, it worked.
@doak:
I did not change the config for wpa_supplicant and I don't think I ever saw two wpa_supplicant instances running. So this might have been a different problem for you, I think.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

My ipad2 wireless not working after the update to ios 6.1.3, what can I do?

Hi, My Ipad2 could not connect again with the wireless after updated to ios 6.1.3. Pls what can I do?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Wireless connection works only on Windows

I am lucky if while running my Mac OS I get wireless internet connection for 3 seconds all day. In Windows XP, though, I connect and stay connected. Why is that? I have all things updated for both opperating systems.

I am having the same problem. Often, when I boot it up, it does not connect to my router although my Macbook and WinXP laptops do. Sometimes, if I leave it for about 2-3 minutes, it will spontaneously connect, at other times I have to re-enter the SSID and wep key for it to work. Hopefully it is only driver related and they come out with updated drivers soon.
Does it work any better with an Airport extreme? I am thinking of getting one only because I can plug an external hd into it (for shared backup purposes). I currently use a Linksys WRT54G router which works fine for everything else.
