[SOLVED] atheros pcmcia wifi card can't create ath0 interface

Hi i solved it myself, but propably someone else can have the same problem.
I was unable to set my wireless network because no ath0 interface was created when
ifconfig wlan0 up
command executed. Just wmaster0 created and any try to connect via wpa_supplicant destroyed the wmaster0 interface.
Solution is very simple
from your rc.conf file add ! to ath5k module. Here is my:
MODULES=(.... !ath5k ath_hal ath_pci wlan ......)
or remove it at all. Probably some bug, because ath5k are still in heavy development.
Reboot.
then type commands:
iwconfig
to see what interface you have, probably wifi0 or wlan0. It is the last one.
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf &
dhcpcd
1. interface up, ath0 will appear
2. connect via wpa protocol. You must first edit wpa_supplicant.conf file to your network
3. obtain ip and enjoy

I've tried setting the interface up/down and it doesn't help. I don't think there's a driver conflict (but it's a bit hard to tell as there seems to be a few different modules that work together).
So you tried to set it DOWN and then
netctl restart your-profile

Which WiFi cards can be installed in the X121e (AMD E-350 Version)?

Hi,
I'm running Linux and the available firmwares for the RealTek rtl8818ce in the X121e with AMD processor is hopeless, so I've though about replacing the card. Now apparently the BIOS has some sort of card-whitelist so the question is with which cards can I replace the RealTek?

To check the compatible wifi cards you would want to check the hardware maintainence manual of your machine.

The pther way which is not recommende is to flash the bios to a unofficial version which would allow any hardware installed in your laptop.

Mac Pro (2009) RAID Card - Can't create RAID Set

Hi Everyone,
I have a Mac Pro 4,1 (Model 2009) running Mavericks 10.9.2. with the Apple RAID Card installed. I got 4 new SAS Drives (Dell Toshiba MK2001TRKB) which I'm trying to configure into a single RAID5 set.
OS X detects the individual drives and with Disk Utility I can partition and/or format the individual drives. However when I try to create a RAID5 set using RAID Utility, the card won't create the RAID set. Ik keeps on showing the white-blue stripped progress bar. Tried creating a RAID0 or RAID1 with just 2 drives, but the card just doesn't create a RAID set.
Anyone got a clue why this isn't working?
Thanks,
Sander

Manualy erased all 4 the drives and it worked instantly. System is now initializing the volume :-)
Still a bit strange. All 4 the drivers where brand new. I did some further testing and if I select the partion tab and just create a new partition on each drive, it still doesn't work. I have to select the erase option in Disk Utility and just do a simple erase on each drive in order to be able to create the RAIDset.
Anyway, Thanks for the advise; performance even during initializing is pretty fast. I'm curious to see what kind of performance I get aftet the initialization is completed.

Aironet 350 PCMCIA WiFi CARD

I'm having a problem with a Cisco Aironet 350 WiFi PCMCIA Card (speed has to be auto) installed in a Sony Camera and intermittently not connecting to a ZyXEL ZyAIR G-110 WiFi PCMCIA Card (speed set to b only (which is 11 MBPS))which is installed in a Dell Laptop. On startup (laptop first then camera) it sometimes connects and sometimes doesn't. The ZyAir card is always fully initialized first then the Aironet is initialized.
What I also noticed that was strange is that if you toggle (fn + F2) the Centrino WiFi NIC (built into the laptop) on and then off the Aironet suddenly establishes connectivity.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you use a non cisco card you can NOT use any Cisco enhancements to the standards including LEAP or 128 WEP. 40 Bit WEP will work fine as long as your card supports it.

PCMCIA Wifi card for PowerBook G4

Hi,
I have bay a Belkin Wifi 802.11G PCMCIA Card on the apple shop and I couldn't set up it on my PowerBook G4.
Could someone help me with this?
Thank you very much...
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) PCMCIA Wifi

I had to install the software from http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm to get my Belkin card to work.
However, put the card in and click on the PCMCIA icon that appears in the menubar. See what chipset it says it is. If it isn't RALINK, then don't use the link I sent you. You may need to locate Mac-compatible drivers elsewhere.

Which pcmcia wifi card to get for pb17" with Airport already installed?

Title says it all really... after 3 years the airport connection to all 3 of my apple base stations (1 X new airport extreme and 2 X airport expresses) is pathetic
Thought about a USB wifi stick - but that sticks out too much - would prefer to get a pcmcia card as I don't use it for anything else
So anyone have experience of which one to get?
Note that i've got airport express already installed in the pb - so would need to disable that or something - prefer it to be compatible without having to remove it - cos it's easier that way
Thanks all

guess everyone is off in the MacBook forums!

My non Apple WIFI card can only see 2.4Ghz Time Capsule WIFI network

I have a 2TB Apple Time Capsule, running v7.5 & offering both a 2.4 & 5.0Ghz WIFI network.
My Linksys WUSB600N card that is plugged into my download & media server (running Window 7) can only see the 2.4Ghz network. I've confirmed that I'm running the latest drivers for the card.
My 13" Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo X31 with Intel WIFI can see both the 2.4 & 5.0 GHz networks that I've setup on my Time Capsule.

After a little bit more digging, I've managed to find my own answer. For some reason the WUSB600N isn't able to see the high 5.0Ghz channels, no matter how I configured the driver settings (ensuring that all the correct channel ranges were enabled).
Once I hard coded the 5.0Ghz channel on the Time Capsule to channel 48, I'm able to see the network & connect without issue.
Hope this helps someone else.

Using Aironet 350 PCMCIA wifi card

i am trying to set up Aironet 350 PCMCIA card running on my laptop. from what i have seen people have been using airo_cs module with this card but when i do:
modprobe airo_cs
dmesg shows:
airo(): Probing for PCI adapters
airo(): Finished probing for PCI adapters
so maybe this is not the correct driver for PCMCIA card. the only thing that dmesg shows when inserting the card is:
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
but pccardctl info and ident show no info.
any ideas are appreciated

thanks for the response. lscpi does not show any information on the card either.

Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wifi Card - Possible Issues [SOLVED]

Dear Lucky owners of such a card, At least from my experience I realized it is not that bad card, even if most probably many production pieces were faulty or not working properly, and many issues can be resolved. Let me list in order of time the issues I faced and solved about this wifi card: 0) First issue is not about RT3290 card itself but it is related to 802.11w encryption compatibility in between Windows8 and Cisco not allowing 802.11n speed rates so failing to G speeds only. - SOLUTIONS: a. As first test I would recommend trying another router from different brand to see if connecting at 802.11n speed rates b. If you prove point a issue, then try to fix the issue based on following post (in which you can see the reply from myself Emanuele on the 29th of Nov 2014): https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/113836/windows-8-clients-cant-associate-cisco-unified-wireless 1) Signal strenght issue: original wifi card RT3290 installed on my HP laptop was having really bad antenna, with signal fluctuating and sometimes bad even really close to any Router I tried. - SOLUTION: Replace the RT3290 card even with same new card. (In my case as laptop was under warranty, I proved the issue via screenshots and they replaced with new card solving my signal strenght issue). 2) Original issue (1) was actually resolved after HP replaced the wifi card with same model, but with the latest driver installed 5.0.45 seems like wifi rates change too frequently based on high sensitivity of the driver itself, so that suggested me issue was still there, so making me re-testing anything from scratch. - SOLUTION: Install 5.0.37 Driver - frequent rate changes issue (with driver 5.0.45) disappears and sensitivity of signal to rate changes seems to be a really good compromise to have good throughput. 3) To check out 2nd issue above I started again using a third party software inSSIDer free version to check signal while I was doing speedtest on web.
- RESOLUTION:
inSSIDer normally works on Windows7 without any issue but on Windows8 (at least tested with RT3290) I have just discovered somehow this software was slowing down wifi card performance drastically showing a speed up to 0.1Mbps rather than 40Mbps. Simply closing the application issue was not recurring, so uninstalled it and after solving all the other issues above this card works perfectly (at least so far ) Hope this post will be informative and will help other about-to-get-mad guys as me

Hye. After I read up your solutions, I am quite impressive and really want to try out those solutions. However, I am not very computer wise and I really appreciate if you make a video on solving this problem. Up to you if you want to upload it on the youtube (so that others with similar problem can view it and solve the problem too) or you want to direct email to me ( [email protected] ). I really hope you can help me because I am stuck with this problem since last year. Thank you!!!

[Solved]How to create ADF interface View

Hi All,
I have a design problem that I need some help with.
In one of the pages in our application, we have two drop down boxes one with account type and another with account name (label) and account number (value).
The account types are Escrow, Credit and Misc (some other types). all three types are in three different tables.
Now the problem is, in the page when the account type is selected, the second drop down box should be filled with respective account numbers.
So my question is Can I create an interface view and implement in all three different account type views and use it for second drop down box.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks

You might do a VO with a union of the three tables - use a custom SELECT like this:
SELECT 'Escrow' account_type, account_number, balance, ... FROM escrow_accounts
UNION
SELECT 'Credit', account_number, balance, ... FROM credit_accounts
UNION
SELECT 'Misc.', account_number, balance, ... FROM misc_accountsUse NULL for any column in a table that does not have that column. I'm not sure if you can use Entity Objects (one EO per table) with such a VO to make the data updatable - it might have to be a read-only VO.
Or create a database view with this SELECT and base the VO on that view instead of a table. You can even make the view updatable with INSTEAD OF triggers and base an EO on the view.

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How can I add Qualcom Atheros USB wifi adapter?

I need to add a Qualcom USB wifi adapter to my 2014 Macbook Pro retina, running latest Yosemite. I need to do this in order for a Parallels virtual machine to use wifi connection, rather than a bridged ethernet connection (the guest VM cannot 'see' the Macbook wifi adapter)
The wifi chipset is Atheros AR9271, but I can't find any Mac OS X drivers. Has anyone added this type of USB wifi adapter?
When I run the command system_profiler SBUSBData_Type the following information is shown, which tells me that the Macbook can see the device, I just don't know how to configure it
          Product ID: 0x3327
          Vendor ID: 0x13d3 (AzureWave Technologies, Inc.)
          Version: 1.08
          Serial Number: 12345
          Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
          Manufacturer: ATHEROS
          Location ID: 0x14100000 / 7
          Current Available (mA): 500
          Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured)
thanks in advance!

Considering the different options that PC could have been ordered with, it might be there is not an empty slot to mount a PCI add-on card to add a USB 3.0 card. It would be advisable to open the case to see if there is an empty slot. If there is, then THIS is a choice to add USB 3.0
