[Solved] No wireless connection after reboot.

I installed through a wireless connection. I installed inside of VirtualBox, and I installed wireless_tools, wpa_supplicant, and wpa_actiond dialog. So I had wireless internet on the live cd, but not after the install. Is there some driver that I am missing? Is there some VirtualBox special feature I am missing?
lspci | grep -i net = intel corporation 82540em gigabit ethernet controller
I don't think I need to install any additional firmware for this driver.
iwconfig = enp0s3 no wireless extensions
lo no wireless extensions
I tried adding manually loading iwl3945 and iwl4965, one of which I think is my driver.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The fix was typing "systemctl enable dhcpcd".

You must not have searched very long then, because you've missed not one, but two threads:

Printer loses wireless connection after some hours

Hello to all!
Printer is connected and I can see on the screen correct IP. Desktops with Win7 and Ubuntu are used. After switching on printer works properly, but several hours later its unreachable from both systems. Printer shows connection, I can see it in router web access tool, but it is unreachable. I have to switch off printer, reboot the router, then switch on printer - and it works. Not very comfort.
Does anybody know how to fix this bug?

Hi @varspb,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 6525 printer is losing wireless connection after some hours with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I am happy to look into this connection issue for you!
For Linux support, please take a look at this website, http://hplip.sourceforge.net/.

Tips for preventing wireless connection issues
The following tips can help prevent wireless connection issues:
Move the printer and the computer or access point (router) closer together.
Remove any metal objects between the printer and the computer or access point (router). Objects such as refrigerators or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.
Move any device that emits radio signals farther away from the printer. Devices such as microwaves and cordless telephones can interfere with wireless transmission.
Consult the router manufacturer for updates and configuration of your router.
Make sure that your computer is not connected through a VPN. You cannot access your printer on your wireless network while connected to a VPN.
Also, please take a look at this website, HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues.
Hope this helps, and have a good day!

Lost all wireless connection after upgrading to 10.5 osx. Getting frustrated with the upgrade after spending two hours on the phone with apple tech and was told that it was a third party issue! Able to access wireless with security turned off, but once I set sec password (WAP) no connection. What is strange is that I can receive and send email but no browser. All other Mac's/PC's connect fine. Other mac's have not been upgrade! Does anyone have any answers???

My macbook, OS 6.7, drops my wireless connection after about 10 minutes - help?

My macbook, OS 6.7, drops my wireless connection after about 10 minutes - help? The lynksys signal works on other computers/iphone but not on my older macbook.

Same problem, IMac with OSX. Everything else in the house is fine - Netfilx, pc's, radios - Mac drops the wireless after a few minutes. It sits closest to the router. Imac will be OutMac soon if no solution comes along.

Printer drops wireless connection after some time

Have HP Laserjet P1102w printer. (Serial# edited Serial Number by Moderator) (Firmware 20130703)
Windows 7(64bit)
Printer on wireless home network.
For a period of time the printer prints wirelessly and prints from EPRINT EMail address OK.
Normally Wakes itself when print received.
After some period of time,however,the printer quits responding.
It did not wake when print received.Normally wakes itself when print received.
I manually turn it back on (front panel power button) and observe the following:
The blue wireless light is on.
The blue error light is on indicating no error.
the green light also is on.
Open Control Panel(View devices and printers) on computer and it shows printer error.
Can restore normal operation by unplugging for a few seconds and turning back on.
Can also restore normal operation by turning off and back on.
Will quit responding again after some period of time when trying to print.
Tried Windows troubleshooting and HP "Print and Scan Doctor".Tells me to reboot.
How can I fix this problem?
Can't reboot by unplugging or powering off when away from home so can't use ePrint email address to print.
Can't print when away from printer when it quits responding.
Thanks for any help.

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
   This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
   first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here.
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
   printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
   Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
4. Assign the printer a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Manual DNS server and 8.8.4.4 for the
   Alternate preferred DNS server.
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
5. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
6. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
7. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
8. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
9. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
10. SSID broadcast must be enabled.
11. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
12. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.
Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?

Wireless Connection after 10.4.8 Update

I want to try and update again to 10.4.8. Has the wireless connection issue been resolved yet? The problem I was having before was when my mac went into sleep mode or I would reboot the wireless connection would be dropped. I tried just about everything I found on this board, but nothing worked. I had to archive and restore my mac back to 10.4.4. Is it safe to update, if not is there a fix for after I update?
Any help would be great!.

If I had an IntelMac I'd wait, or certainly not go past 10.4.7, and at that I'd surely use the bigger Combo Updates, not any of the Deltas.
Yet if I did try 10.4.8... it'd be installed on a seperate FW drive for testing... without messing with the working install.
All that being said... I still am at 10.3.9 or less on all my important work machines... only have Tiger on 2 machines to help sort out/test all the 10.4 problems!

[Solved] Atheros Wireless Fails after Update

After the update to kernel 3.6.37 the wireless on my Macbook pro is close to useless, but used to work very well before. Madwifi was upgraded as well but I suspect another problem.
Using WICD there is no wireless at all! With networkmanager the available networks are visible and sometimes logs on. However, the network fails quickly and starts asking for the password - most of the time it is useless typing in the password again. So the wireless is basically working but very unstable with networkmanager and non-existent anymore with WICD.
Any ideas?
Last edited by jcci (2011-02-06 05:48:20)

Found out more which might be significant for madwifi users:
According to the wiki I loaded the following modules in rc.conf: ath-hal, ath9k, wlan
Beside this one line in the modprobe.conf should be added: alias ath0 ath_pci. This way wicd as well as networkmanager used ath0 for connecting to wireless.
After the update I noticed that there is another wifi device in ifconfig listed: wlan0. So I suspected that 2 devices pointing at the same hardware may cause the instability, but de-activating one by ifconfig didn't help. Now I noticed by loading the modules one by one that the new ath9k is already defining wlan0 and the wireless starts working without loading the module wlan. It looks stable so far, but if I should be right I'm impossibly the only one having this trouble.
Confirmation would be nice, but I will mark this thread "solved" now.

Problems with Wireless connection AFTER 10.4.2 update

I have read several topics on wireless problems AFTER the 10.4.2 update and wondering if anyone (or Apple) has found a fix to this problem. I cant get to my network or the internet via airport. I have tried zapping the pram, resetting the permissions, rebooting, checking for more update on a wired connection, reinstalling both 10.4.2 combo and 4.2 update and still nothing. This happened RIGHT after the reboot upon completion of the update. Im stuck and wondering if anyone has a solution or has any one SUCCESSFULLY contacted Apple and have they got a solution to fix the problem??

I'm having the same problems with accessing my airport base station (first generation snow at 4.0.9) after loading the airport admin 4.2 patch. I loaded the 4.2 patch on my g5 and G4 running 10.3.9. The response/across of the wifi connection is very poor. I can't use chicken of the VNC to manage the G4 from the G5 anymore at all due to the slow response and accessing the internet via either the G4 or the G5 is like a dial up connection. The broadband speed test results are 192mb to 274mb up and similar down.
I have a 12"powerbook (DVI 1gig version) with 10.3.9 that I have not loaded the 4.2 patch on and I am not having any issues with wifi access to the base station or the internet. broadband logs in right at 2.8mb via DSL. I also have a Dell laptop that I access the internet through the airport base station and I have no issues with speed and the same 2.8mb broadband speed test results.
Conclusion something in the airport 4.2 patch has changed the airport cards ability to see the base station.
With all that said, my question is - How do I back out of the 4.2 airport admin patch provided by apple or how do I resolve the slow response times between the airport cards in the G4 and G5 and the base station?
Any help?

[SOLVED] Loosing Wireless Connection

I am constantly loosing my wireless connection while I am trying to download something, usually I don't reach 60 MB and it's gone.
I am also loosing my connection while browsing the internet for 2-3 hours.
In both cases it reconnects after 2 minutes ,sometimes more.
I still have my IP address during these 2 minutes.
I tried different connection methods : wifi-menu, netctl, NetworkManager , manually with wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd(or dhclient) but they all lead to loosing my connection after a time.

Thanks for the help

first of all I stopped my NetworkManager.service and then :
sudo wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlp2s0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf &

but no output after this command but I get my IP address
I also ran this command
dhcpcd wlp2s0
and the output is

[SOLVED] Printer not working after reboots

I recently built my won desktop running Arch. Every thing works fine except for printer. Printer is Brother MFC-290c. It is a Multinational printer (i.e Scanner and printer together).
Once I configure the printer it works fine until the next reboot. After reboot printer user/group changes to root:scanner.
# ls -l /dev/bus/usb/005/002
crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 513 Jun 9 07:17 /dev/bus/usb/005/002
So after every reboot I need to do "lsusb" to look for Bus and Device ID for the printer and change its owner/group to root:lp. After this step is performed Printer works fine until next reboot.
$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 04f9:01fd Brother Industries, Ltd
Bus 005 Device 004: ID 045e:00f9 Microsoft Corp. Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 009 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 010 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 011 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
How can I make sure that whenever I plugin this printer its user and group is root:lp instead of root:scanner

SOLVED :D:D:D
Thanks Strike0. That was a push in right direction. After reading your reply, I decided to take a look at my udev rules. There was not one for my printer but there was one for the Scanner. I do not yet know how to read udev file, but sure enough it looked as if it was causing all problems . Renamed the rules file for the scanner to see if everything works fine in its absence. Rebooted, Printer and scanner are both working fine now.

WRT300N V1.1 - Firmw v1.51.2 - Problems to get wireless connection after long idle time

Hello,
I have a WRT300N, v1.1 with latest firmware available (v1.51.2).
I've been experiencing a strange problem:
1. After long idle time (router is on, no devices are using it wirelessly), no device can get a wireless connection;
2. I have tried using different OSes (Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, and Symbian OS);
3. Wireline connection to a FE port works (if I plug a device using the cable, I can get an IP address and navigate to the internet).
4. If power reset it (WRT300N), I can get wireless connections working again.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks, Gustavo

Well as you are able to go online from your Hardwired Computer, then i think you need to make some changes on the Wireless Part of your Router. Follow this settings on your Router, i think this might solve the problem.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 50 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

[SOLVED] No wireless connection with linux-3.2.2-1

After upgrading to linux-3.2.2-1, my wireless connection stopped working. It "connects", but I can't get an IP address through dhcp. Assigning an IP manually doesn't do the trick, I can't even reach the router through ping.
Downgrading to 3.2.1-2 fixes the issue.
I suspect this may be a regression but I couldn't find any information or reports of other people having the same problem anywhere.
I should note that I can establish a working connection when running the new kernel by using an external USB wireless device, so this probably has to do with the modules/drivers of my network card (?).
This is the ouput of some commands when running the new kernel (wlan1 is the device mentioned avobe):

You must not have searched very long then, because you've missed not one, but two threads:

No wireless connection after pacman -Syu

Hi,
I'm almost new in this forum. Recently I did a system upgrade (or update?). After that the wireless connection didn't work again. I used the search function but I didn't find a solution so I reinstalled networkmanager and the wireless card driver (from AUR). Then I did everything mentioned in these wikis:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
But no success
The output to lspci | grep BCM43 is:
04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
The output of iwconfig is:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
These are the relevant lines of rc.conf:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(lib80211_crypt_tkip !b43 wl fuse snd-hda-intel)
#eth1="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"
#INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
INTERFACES=(!eth0)
#gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
#ROUTES=(!gateway)
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal !network networkmanager !netfs !wicd crond fam gdm)
I really appreciate any help, thank you very much in advance,
Luis Pablo

I'm making some progress. I realized I forgot to blacklist ssb and ndiswrapper. I compiled the driver from the Broadcom website. This is the new modules array in rc.conf:
MODULES=(lib80211_crypt_tkip wl !ndiswrapper !b43 !ssb fuse snd-hda-intel)
Now "sudo iwconfig" output is
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:off

eth1 no wireless extensions.
I'm still not able to scan wireless networks.
sudo iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning.
Neither WICD or NetworkManager are able to detect wireless networks.
Thank you in advance,
Luis Pablo

No wireless connection after pacman update

I dont get any connection whatsoever after a pacman -Syu . Im using wicd and iwconfig shows the device.
Im only using wicd and the service should start and connect after booting but it dosnt. If I start the wicd-gtk, it dosnt show the connections. I tried to use wifi-menu but it throws a connection error (gives me the journal -xn)
Any reason for whats causing this? Ill try to copy every command, but its hard since im posting from another pc.
Thanks

jasonwryan wrote:What error messages are in the journal? In wicd's log? What packages were in the upgrade?
You need to try an narrow down the fault...
For the packages, I did a full system upgrade. I cant remember how many or what packages were actually upgraded cause they were.. many.
Im sorry admin! Let me try to copy as much as I can : the journal after using wifi-menu:
Something interesting is that I see for a second that my wifi is on ( im usng xmonad and dzen ), then it goes off.

WRT54GS v7 loses wireless connectivity after 15 minutes or so

I just installed a WRT54GS v7 router to work with my cable modem. It has the latest firmware. The wireless connection seems to work for about 15 minutes or so at a time and then it stops working. I can't even get to 192.168.1.1. The only way to get it to work is unplug the router and plug it back in. Originally, I thought it was interference from my 2.8GHz cordless phone, so I unpluged it. But that still didn't fix the problem. What could be the problem? Thanks.
