Solved network can't get wifi working on acer 571G

Hi I have been fiddlin for past day on the issues with not luck.  The problem was initially I can't get wifi connection to work, ethernet is fine. I am using dhcpcd and networkmanager and the kde plasma applet.  I have also used nmtui.   Networkmanager picks up available connections and I have entered correct password but no good.  Can't get wifi activated.  Wired connection is fine.   I will give you some details of both hardware and network.
This is an acer aspire 571G with a network controller a qualcomm atheros AR9462 wireless network adaptor.

After another day of trying I think I have NetworkManager working but not sure how good, especially when I don't have a clue what I am doing I have read, re read wireless and networkmanager wikis and it was not until I looked for a step by step guide that I found this http://evilshit.wordpress.com/2012/09/1 … th-gnome3/.  Although for gnome it is much the same for kde where you install kde plasma nm-applet.  In this article it did specically state to remove all dhcpcd services. 
In the NetworkManager wiki I did state " Note: You must ensure that no other service that wants to configure the network is running; in fact, multiple networking services will conflict. You can find a list of the currently running services with systemctl --type=service and then stop them."  However it was not until I read the evilshit article that I found out dhcpcd had to be removed.  For newbies wikis need to be more specific.  Enspecially I think  setting up ethernet and wireless connections.

  • Can't get wifi working on X201 after installing Win 7 64 bit

    I've just purchased an X201 type 3294 with a 320gb HDD running Windows 7 64bit. Wifi works fine when running from the original HDD. I've pulled the HDD and replaced it with an SSD and installed windows 7 64 bit so I can use the 4gb RAM which came with the computer. I did a fresh install then started trying to install drivers. I started with Wifi first so I could download the rest of the drivers directly to the computer. I can't get wifi working after installing Windows 7 64bitfor some reason. I have the original HDD in an external enclosure so I can still access it.
    I can't figure out what drivers I need, or even what adapter I have on the computer.Lenovo's part look up tells me the adapter is part number 60Y3231, but that information seems to be useless. I've tried most of the drivers on Lenovo's driver page. I've tried just copying the C:/Drivers folder from the original HDD, and just about anything else I can thinkof. 
    Anyone know how I can get the right driver, or if this is even a driver problem? For what it's worth I'm not afraid of having to learn some terminal if I have to but I'm totally unfamiliar with Win 7. I have much more experience with XP, Vista and OSX/some Ubuntu.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and welcome,
    If you have a wired connection you could try installing ThinkVantage System Update.  Run it and it should find all the appropriate drivers and install them for you.
    That FRU seems to be an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200. It's hard to tell from the drivers page which one to use.  Most of the README files include 6200.  My best guess:  http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/g1w218ww_s64.exe

  • "Have i pad with wifi/retinal but on 3G network, can I get  wifi"

    Have I Pad with wif/retinal but on 3G network, can I get wifi

    Hi.
    Turn on the wifi in settings. You should see a list of wi-fi connections in the area. If you see a padlock icon beside the signal, then it is password protected. Otherwise, its a public hotspot and you should be able to join by tapping the network name.

  • I can't get WiFi sync to work - connected to university network

    I am currently connected (both my iPhone and Mac) to my universities wireless network and I can't get WiFi Sync to work. It doesn't even show up in my iTunes (my iPhone). Everything is updated.

    You're a mouthy little f**king c*nt aren't you. Learn how to spell! You are  "sopost" to have a fully functioning brain before you attempt to use an Apple product, so just return it to the store, tell them that you are too much of a f**king ******* to upgrade the ipod, and then you can go back to your life of welfare checks and unemployment.

  • I want to buy an ipad 2 3G but i am not a US resident, how can i get to work on a local network NOT verizon or AT

    i want to buy an ipad 2 3G but i am not a US resident, how can i get to work on a local network NOT verizon or AT&T

    From your screen name would it be safe to guess that you will be using it in Egypt? If your carrier uses is a GSM network you can do as Chris suggests.
    From the Apple page http://www.apple.com/eg/buy/   there is a link to Arab Buisness Machine, they sell the iPad 2 and offer local support should any problems arise.

  • Can't get Mail working properly

    I just got my new MacPro this week, and it's really great except for I can't get Mail working right. I've set up my accounts and a few emails come through, though not many, and because it's been a week since I've been online, there should be many more than that. Also, I can't send any emails at all, no matter what I do. They will eventually go into my Sent box, but I've been sending them to myself to see if it's working, and they never come through. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with the tech support for my ISP, and they told me that I'd have to talk to the Apple techs because they didn't have current info for *Mail 3.1*, the version I have, that the latest they had was for 2.something. So I called the Apple tech support and spent 2 hours on the phone with them, and they weren't able to help me get it going correctly either. It keeps giving me error messages such as Connection Failed, or Unable to Receive Mail, saying "there may be a problem with the mail server or network" and that "the connection to the server on ... port has timed out." I'm on DSL and am always online, so I know it's not the internet connection that's the problem. Can anybody give me some advice on what I should try? Any help will be gratefully appreciated!

    Is your ISP Verizon, Demon, or Glocalnet, then it might be Apples biggest Leopard Bug in conjunction with these ISP:s POP-servers.
    The one that randomly changes the settings in "advanced" from "password" to "APOP".
    The visual result of this bug is that you will get a popup-box where Mail asks you to enter your password. (Which is useless entering, since the preference settings are changed.)
    My advice counts only when you are supposed to use "password" as the correct setting in "Advanced" and in conjunction with some ISP:s.

  • Can't get DRI working on new ATI driver

    Using the new ATI fglrx driver I'm experiencing the same corruption/watermark issues many people reported, and I read that enabling AIGLX fixes that.  Sure enough it did, but AIGLX shouldn't work without DRI.
    I've got the DRI module loaded, and the DRI section in my xorg.conf, but direct rendering isn't working so thusly I can't get compiz working.
    If I attempt glxinfo it tells me I have no protocol selected.
    Here is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    http://pastebin.com/m54192795
    I'm not sure what the problem is.  Thanks!

    enderandrew wrote:
    I can't turn on XGL, nor can I turn on AIGLX.
    I'm using KDE and Kwin.
    If I attempt glxinfo and glxgears to test that direct rendering is working, I get:
    "No protocol specified
    Error: unable to open display :0"
    I was earlier using this driver and AIGLX sucessfully with Sabayon and with Kubuntu.  We've been trying different distros for my wife's laptop, though at the moment we're pretty happy with Arch.  Note, I couldn't get the new ATI flgrx driver really to work at all with openSUSE on this laptop.  We'd consider using the open source radeon driver, but we have a Radeon Mobility 300 card in the laptop, and we couldn't get DRI to work on that radeon drivers, it says this particular chipset isn't supported.
    Compiz fails saying there is no display.  I'm at work, but when I get home in a few hours I can paste specific compiz errors, and the xorg.conf but Compiz isn't going to work until I can enable either AIGLX or XGL, and neither are going to work until direct rendering is working, which I suspect it isn't, since I can't run glxinfo.
    If you try to run glxinfo as root that is the error message you get but if you run as  user it works fine. At least on my box.

  • I have 2 itunes accounts - one work a/c and one home a/c, but when i sign in at home only my home songs appear even if I sign in my work a/c. I have authorised both computers to show both a/cs. How can I get my work a/c songs to appear at home?

    I have 2 itunes a/cs one at work and one at home. Both computers are authorised for the 2 a/cs, but I can;t get my work a/c songs to show on my home computer, even though I sign in my work a/c, and I can't get my home songs to show up on the  work computer even though I sign in my home a/c. V. frustrating!

    Hi,
    You will have to manually copy your music. Get a pen-drive big enough to accommodate all your music. And follow these steps:
    1. Create a new folder on the pen-drive.
    2. Copy the music from your work computer to the folder you just created. It's in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music if you're using a Mac, or in C:\Users\(yourusername)\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music if you're using Windows.
    3. Now on your home computer quit iTunes, and copy your music from work to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media.
    4. Start iTunes. It will automatically start to process the files and move them to the appropriate place.
    Repeat these steps with your music from home on your work computer. Also I suggest to use only one iTunes account if possible.
    Hope it helps
    Regards,
    Gábor

  • How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

    I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
    But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
    I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
    system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
    But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
    - The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
    - The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
    - When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
    In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
    LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
    We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
    How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

    Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
    We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
    Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Dipal

  • In disk utility, it shows that my external hard drive is somehow unmounted and I can't access it in finder or repair it in Disk Utility. How can I get this working without losing my important data?

    Thank you!

    When you erased the disk did you select Mac OS Extended Journaled as the format option?

    Virtually any DVD burner that can connect to your Mac will work. They start at $40 on Amazon.

    Hello, I use MAC AIR OSX 10.6.8 and have Adobe CS2, that I was using 2 years ago on my older computer. I stopped using it because it would close down in the middle of work. Now I would like to reinstall it on the MacAir but I can not get it working. It tells Adobe doesnT support my System. But I can not update my old version or activate it. What can I do?

    The mac you want to install photoshop cs2 on is running mac os x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
    (photoshop cs2 won't run on intel macs with mac os x newer than snow leopard)
    Did you ever have cs2 installed on this particular computer before?
    If the problem is that you already installed cs2, but it won't activate, that's because adobe took the activation servers offline for some older adobe products such as cs2.
    You'll need to use the non activation version of cs2 from here and the supplied serial number:
    Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products
