[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:

    Did you solve your printer connection problem?  I have the same issue.  When I first turn the system on, it is connected.  But after a short time (a few minutes?) it loses connection between Mac and printer, even tho both are connected to my WIFI.  I have to turn the printer and and off to reconnect it to the Mac.  Very frustrating.  I have checked Netgear, Printer and Mac settings and can't find any explanation.

    My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
    For a test, change your router so there is no security.  See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.

  • HT1515 I've lost my wireless connection with light flashing amber, I've unplugged router and modem and pressed reset button on airport extreme

    Any suggestions on retreiving wireless connection with airport extreme, have unlugged power to all sources and pressed reset button on router, still amber flashing light

    Hello ebulloc,
    It sounds like you are getting the flashing amber colored light and cannot connect to the internet with it. According to this article:
    AirPort base stations: About AirPort base station status lights (LED)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4600
    Flashing amber
    Startup is complete, but the Wi-Fi base station has detected a condition that requires your assistance. To resolve flashing amber status light conditions click here to learn more. Launch AirPort Utility to find out what conditions are being reported.
    This article should lead you to a resolution:

  • Zyxel pk500z router/wireless modem loses wireless connectivity with imac

    My iMac loses wireless connectivity with wirelss internet from my Qwest  ZyXel PK5000Z modem/router intermittently. Have to constantly reboot the router to allow my Imac and other Mac notebooks nto reconnect to wireless internet connection.

    Suggest that you take one or more of Mac laptops down to the coffee place and connect there to check  your performance. If you get a good connection there....as I suspect you will...you know the Macs are functioning correctly.
    If the Macs perform well at the coffee place, you need to contact the ZyXel support folks for ideas on why the PK5000Z device is requiring constant restarts.
    As you might imagine....on an Apple support forum, we are not going to be able to provide much help with a ZyXel product.

  • Unable to access wireless connection with linksys rooter WRT54GS

    Hi,
    I just installed a wireless rooter Linksys WRT54GS on my connection, The problem I have is being able to access it with my wireless on my laptop.
    I kept getting a message stating "connection unindentified" "access limited". I've done most of what is already suggested on your forum such has turning the power off of my rooter, my modem and such and still nothing. I'm able to access the wireless with my girlfriend Mac Notebook, my playstation 3 and my desktop computer which uses Windows X. First I thought that it my be a problem with my security but even when the connection is unprotected I still get that error. I try to disable the IpV6but that didn'tdo anything either.
    My laptop is a Toshiba Qosmio X300 PQX32C-033019 with Vista and my rooter is a Linksys WRT54GS vers. 6
    Here's my connection log, sorry if it's in French:

  • Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

    I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

    Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
    And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
    "I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
    "MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
    "The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter

    "I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
    And, unhappy Vista person:
    "I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

  • N8 connecting with linux

    Has anyone managed to connect the N8 with linux? The microUSB connected didn't make the N8 to show up as mass memory as the E65 did - automagically. Using the kubuntu 10.04 the bluetooth connection fails as well (couldn't tell if the fault was by the kde bluetooth framework or the N8 or both, though).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    For the record: by upgrading the Kubuntu to 10.10, the bluetooth connection worked out.

  • Extremely Poor Wireless Connection with Macbook 1,1

    Hi,
    I've been trying to solve internet connection issues for a friends Macbook and I'm getting rather frustrated.
    I'm using a White Macbook 1,1 and I've found that the wireless connection on it is extremely temperamental. The connection works perfectly with the cable so it's not my internet connection, and my wireless hub works fine with all other laptops that have connected to it.
    So, the issue is the connection is extremely intermittent. It connects to my hub absolutely fine, but when surfing the connection becomes unreliable. Say you wish to go to a website then a quarter of the time it'll connect and download everything fine and quickly, the other 3/4 of the time it'll get stuck somewhere in the process. It normally gets past the DNS fine, and connects to the server and then sits there and waits for a response indefinitely.
    I have searched the web and found numerous solutions involving changing wireless channels and modes which I have tried every possible combination of. I have ensured it's not a DNS issue. I tried all combinations of any super-speed mode and extended range features on my router (including everything off of course). I have tried it on other routers and internet connections, and ensured it's using the latest firmware. I have disabled any IPv6 modes on both router and laptop. I have altered positioning of my router to be in better positions/much closer to the laptop, to the extent where there is only a few inches between laptop and hub. None of this has helped.
    There has been one tiny glimmer of hope and that was me upgrading the amount of memory in the machine from half a gig to 2 gig and a much larger hard drive and this has helped a little. Now it only fails 75% of the time instead of 99% of the time.
    Can anyone help? Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is there any updated driver for the AirPort out there that may work better?
    Please help, this is driving me up the wall. My router is a WGT624 v3 if that helps although I really don't think that is the issue as it happens with all connections.
    Cheers, Dan

    I had this same issue with my 1.1 MacBook about a year or so ago. I had AppleCare so it was fixed for free.
    Turned out the wireless card was causing problems. Not sure if it was a bad connection or card, but replacing it has fixed the problem.
    Good Luck.

  • Airport extreme losing wireless connection with Time Capsule

    I have a 1st gen Time Capsule acting as my home wireless network base station which is configured to allow the wireless network to be extended.  It is also the sole DHCP server.  I have a 4th gen Airport Extreme in Extend a Wireless network mode.  Everything was running ok for several months.  However, since I upgraded both devices to Version 7.6, the Airport extreme keeps losing its connection with the network every few hours, requiring a daily reboot.  Since the problem occured, I have disabled MAC address Access Control on the Time Capsule, and allocated a reserved DHCP IP address for the Airport Extreme - but this has not solved the problem.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I had exactly the same problem. I also think it's a bug in 7.6. It seemed solved by downgrading my Time Capsule (TC) and my Airport Extreme (AE) to 7.5.2. To do so start the Airport Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder). Double click on the TC or AE. In the Menu at the top on your screen go to "Base Station" --> "Upload Firmware..." and the select 7.5.2. After rebooting your device, downgrade the other. Hopefully your problem is solved as well!

  • Problem wireless connection with WPA2 Enterprise

    Hello,
    I am experiencing an annoying problem while trying to connect at the wireless network at the University, adopting WPA2 Enterprise. After some days of frustration I decided to post a help message here, I hope it's the right section (my problem could be kernel related...). Basically I can't connect to the network, no matter how many times i may try. Other operating systems do not give me the same problem, I can connect without issues thus my card is working properly.
    Summarizing:
    - My card is a BCM4313 (Broadcom), natively supported within the kernel by the module brcmsmac.
    - I tried the module wl as well, with no result.
    - I tried both Arch standard kernel and the LTS one.
    - I am Gnome user, hence I use NetworkManager (never had a problem in the last 2 years at least...)
    - I tried Wicd as well (in the past it was working when NM was failing), with no result.
    - Both MS Windows, Ubuntu and Linux Mint (driver brcmsmac) allow me to connect to the network.
    - The problem occurrs only in case of WPA2 Enterprise, unfortunately this is a "parameter" I cannot change...
    What follows is a portion of NM log file, where I isolated the part related to one connection attempt.

    As a final note, I've been Arch-dependent since 4 years already and I love it. I can't really imagine to change distribution just for this...but I am stuck at present and I need to work with the laptop, so any help is really appreciated. 
    Thank you

    I did what you suggested and I could connect to the network, ergo it was a NetworkManager problem.
    I am migrating to netctl, and I will test it at the university in the next days. I hope it will work.
    Thanks for the hint, I should have done this test in the first place...:(

  • Losing wireless connection with Time Capsule

    Hi,
    Yesterday I purchased a 500GB Dual Band/Guest Networking Time Capsule (the newest model). The TC set up properly - I have it set up to join my wireless network and share my external HD - but during backups or streaming media from the external HD, it loses the wireless connection and stops. At this point, the TC is no longer viewable in the AirPort Utility and I have to reboot it.
    I've read other articles and threads stating that downgrading to the 7.3.2 firmware version will correct problems like this, but because mine is a newer TC version, I can't do this (7.4.0 is the earliest available). Is there any way to solve the constant wireless connection loss?

    Leask, welcome to the discussions!
    The problems that you are experiencing are likely a combination of signal strength and interference from other networks and possibly cordless phones. You will need to experiment to find the best settings for your environment as there are no set rules or fixes for any given situation.
    Assuming that security settings are compatible within a network, good wireless performance depends on two main factors: adequate signal strength and lack of interference from outside sources and other networks.
    Download iStumbler, www.istumbler.net, to get a look at your wireless network. The application will show you the signal strength of your network (and noise).
    If you have a laptop, move around your house to see how the signal strength at various points changes. If you find an area where the signal strength really starts to fall off rapidly, you either need to move your device closer to the broadcast point or consider purchasing an AirPort Express to "extend" the broadcast power of the Time Capsule.
    The signal strength indicator on your computer(s) or iPhone is generally not a very good indicator of the actual signal strength on your network.
    Perhaps more importantly, see if there are other networks in your area and identify what channels they are operating on. This is a primary source of interference in addition to cordless phones, microwave ovens, and some security cameras.
    If you find that there are other networks using the same channel or an adjacent channel as your network, use AirPort Utility to change the channel that Time Capsule is broadcasting on to another channel that is as far away from other channels as possible. This may be very difficult if you live in an area crowded with other networks.
    There are also features on many new wireless routers that enable a user to "hide" the network name, so it is possible that there are other wireless networks causing interference that you cannot identify.
    Your Time Capsule is capable of broadcasting a wireless signal at 5GHz, much higher than the normal crowded 2.4GHz networks. But, I'm not sure if your computer(s) are compatible with this setting. Wouldn't hurt to give this a try. A number of users have found that they have much less difficulty on the higher band since it is (for now) much less crowded.
    Please post back on your progress.

  • IMac loses wireless connectivity with Time Capsule

    I'm having a problem with my iMac 24" 3.06ghz losing connectivity with my Time Capsule (1 TB), but my wife has a new Dell laptop running Windows Vista and using the TC for her wireless. She does not lose the connection and keeps trucking everytime I lose it. The TC seems to be transmitting fine, but it's not communicating with the iMac. Any ideas?

    My wireless network works well, using TC as wireless router, but occasionally Safari will lose internet connection from iMac, while iTunes is syncing with ATV. Strange, I will work along with you to solve this.

  • (Solved) Bridge ethernet connection with Samsung TV

    Hello, on my laptop I connect to the internet through my built in wireless adapter. I am trying to give my samsung tv a local network connection. I do not care about sharing my wireless internet through the ethernet althought that would be a convenient plus. However, I run to able to use my wireless internet while keeping the ethernet bridge. I run ps3 media server currently using my wireless connection but wired is more stable and so I want use that. I unplugged the wireless adapter from the samsung tv to get rid of the conflict. I am using KDE and networkmanager (the actual tray applet designed for kde is in use). I prefer to set this up graphically using networkmanager if possible.
    Output of lspci | grep -i net

    04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
    According to windows my wireless is a AR5 and not an ar9. Not sure which to believe.
    I setup the connection arch-laptop, restarting the computer and Wired Connection disappeared.
    On my tv I have internet protocol setup as manual.
    IP Address like networkmanager is 10.42.43.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway 1.1.1.1
    Setup IP setup to manual forced dns to that also
    DNS Server: 192.168.2.2
    My isp (cisco brand) modem ip address is 192.168.0.1 and my router is 192.168.1.1. I am not very educated on the dns gateway subnet thing -- note I am calling it a thing. If you can help me out that would be great. Also, I am not completely sure if what I want is called an ethernet bridge. I am pretty sure my dns ip is wrong. I set gateway 1.1.1.1 because the tv says 0.0.0.0 is invalid. I have read the wiki and some forum posts but they are commandline solutions and I prefer graphical.
    Marking as solved since tv does not even support this type of setup.

    The EU40EH5300K TV is a model from 2012, and is compatible with the STC-2000 and STC-3000 model cameras. These are a little hard to find as Samsung has discontinued production of them.
    Unfortunately the STC-4000 and STC-5000 (2014 and 2015 cameras) are NOT compatible with this TV.
