I had to add brcmsmac to my modules array in rc.conf.

Leopard wireless issue and responsibility

I've seen a bunch of posts here saying that the wireless problem many are having with Leopard isn't a 10.5 software issue--it's a hardware/third party issue, and Leopard is merely exposing a fault with routers or whatever.
I just wanted to say that even if that's true, it's Apple's responsibility. I've seen many posts where folks say they can connect with Windows and Tiger, but not with Leopard. If there's a router flaw that only shows up with Leopard, and not with Tiger or Windows, even if it's technically not Leopard's fault, it makes Apple look bad, and could hurt their reputation. If I was an IT person at a place with many Windows and Mac machines, and Leopard breaks the wireless while Tiger and Windows continue to work, I wouldn't get rid of the routers, I'd get rid of Leopard (again, even if technically Leopard isn't at fault).
Also, does anyone know definitively if the fault lies with Leopard or not? If anyone has any hard evidence either way, please provide it. I think there's a lot of speculating going on.

i was pretty mad when i started dropping signals and getting the "self-assigned ip" message from my d-link router after the 10.5.2 update.
but then i went out today and bought an apple airport extreme base station. i can't believe how easy it was to configure. i was up and running in 5 minutes or less.
and now my connection is stable (so far, anyway) and my download speed has jumped by a massive amount. yesterday, i was downloading a .dmg file and my transfer rate was 46 KB/s. i tried the same download just now and it was over 1.2 MB/s. i'm sure that's not the average speed boost, but it was certainly significant.
as for responsibility - well, yes, apples should play well with others. but now that i have an apple router - if i ever have to call applecare, at least they can't blame it on a 3rd party router!

Leopard wireless issues and clean install

I've been wrestling with wireless problems since upgrading to Leopard (I've discussed my issues on this forum). I've tried all the suggested fixes I've found, but still have spotty wireless. I'm going to try a clean install next (erasing my hard drive). Any suggestions on how to do this and increase my chances of solving the problem? I'll have to install Tiger first, as I only have a Leopard upgrade disc (not full install).
Thanks in advance.

There is an Upgrade DVD. It's called the "CPU Drop-In DVD" and was being shipped with new Macs that had already been built when Leopard was released. Several of my clients received their new Mac's with Tiger after Leopard was released. It was a choice of either take back the computers and reformat them and then repackage them. Apple chose to just include the disc.
I suppose the DVD could do a fresh install on a machine it came with, or one that matched certain criteria.
Many users of older machines have tried to use these DVD's to install Leopard to their Mac's that otherwise meet the hardware requirements for Leopard. It didn't work. The installer refuses to install to the older machine.
http://www.google.com/search?q=Leopard+drop+in+dvdproblem
I have no information about how the installer verify's the suitability of a machine, but using the DVD on another computer would violate the EULA.
Another thought... If you do a fresh install of Leopard you will probably want to reinstall iLife from your Tiger DVD's. iLife is not on the retail DVD, and I don't think it's on the drop-in DVD.
You may want to make a bootable clone of your existing Leopard installation with SuperDuper, just in case there are any problems with the installation or there is no improvement. Then you can just re-clone your backup to your boot drive to save time and effort.

A caper of missing eth0, wireless issues, and missing tools

Hello all!
I'm a recent Arch convert from Xubuntu, and I've had some troubles installing it on my Gateway NV79. The first problem was that of going to black screen. This issue I remedied by entering "i915.modeset=0" at the end of the kernel line. This allowed me to boot into the live environment, and it installed correctly, but several things are amiss. Firstly, in the package group selection menu, I only get "base" and "base-devel," (I'm installing from a core image on CD, by the way) and while this isn't nessicarily an error, the Beginner's Guide and Installation Guide both imply that there would be more selection. I also cannot find my eth0. According to the Configuring Network wiki page, I need to issue "hwdetect --show-net," in order to find out which module works with my ethernet card (lspci tells me it's a Broadcom Netlink BCM57780) but am told that I have no hwdetect, either in live or installed environs. I also cannot get wifi to work, using either of the methods outlined in the wiki page for wpa_supplicant.
Any suggestions? Any command output or config files I should copy-paste?
ninja edit: OH, and I wasn't sure whether or not I should put this in the Newbie Corner, or Laptops forums. If I've done wrong, could a mod please move this? Sorry for the inconvenience.

[SOLVED] Acer Aspire One - Wireless issue + Wpa_supplicant

Hi there!
I've been using arch on both my desktop and laptop for a while, with wpa_supplicant working perfectly for both of them (University 802.1x auth) I have a config file which works perfectly on the same wireless network with my laptop, but on the netbook I just can't seem to get on it. It's an Acer Aspire One - A150.
This computer uses as we know an atheros chip, which I just can't seem to get working. My laptop on the other hand uses an ipw2200 chip which works fine.
I've installed the madwifi modules, and when doing iwconfig i can see wlan0 listed. If i try to scan for wireless ap's with "iwlist wlan0 scan" it does not find anything.
Doing "wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iwlan0 -c/..../wpa_supplicant.conf -dd " produces the following error
[henrik@scribble ~]$ sudo wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iwlan0 -c/home/henrik/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

I really hope some of you have a suggestion to what I can do to fix this, as it's really annoying only being able to use wired.
What I find wierd, is that "iwlist...scan" does not work.
Thanks in advance

two things:
1. Your computer should be using the ath5k driver for the ar5007 chipset that your netbook has... and
2. If the opensource approach doesn't work for you, build this driver.
p.s. (wlan0 will be renamed to ath0)

Issues with Home Hub 3 Wireless. And lousy teleph...

I don't know if this forum is moderated or followed by BT support staff, but I sure hope so.
After coming from Virgn Media for my BB to BT infinity (Awesome speeds btw!) I'm pleased with the connection and, up until today, the support. I now have issues with my Wireless devices on the HH3.
This is the outline of my setup:
I have the Open reach modem connected to the home hub. I then have the 1Gbps ethernet port from the home hub that is connected to a 1Gbps 5 Port switch that connects my wired network together (Consisting of my Xbox, Networked Printer and my Desktop PC). Wireless serves 2 Laptops, an Xperia U phone, and a G5 Ipod touch (not all mine, I have a flat mate).
My issue is that when more than one device connects via WiFi, the WiFi network has serious issues: The connections don't drop per se, but websites are not delivered, data transfer is intermittant at best - i.e. the WiFi network simply does not work. When there is only one device, there is no issue.
Now, being a techie (I don't mean to title drop, but I think it's important that technical support know that I know my stuff) I'm an electrical engineer (The graduate type) and I know my IT - so I have my own idea of what's wrong with this.
Now, as my order was not completed until yesterday, techincal support couldn't/wouldn't help until today. Yesterday, however, I spent hours trying to solve my issues and got as far semi-solving the problem. I managed to get everything working nicely together when Wireless N is disabled and only a/b/g is enabled. Great, but a main selling point is the Wireless N and I want to use this.
So, today I phoned technical support. I should also note here, and I made this perfectly clear with support, that when the WiFi starts to missbehave, the wired network still works perfectly and I have no issues with internet connectivity with any wired devices. So, clearly this is not a line fault - it's on this side, aka, the router WiFi side where the problem resides. Support decided to do a line test anyway - and of course it got the all clear. He then asked me to reset the router (Yey, again after I had done it plenty of times before, only this time I had customised the SSID and the LAN IP addresses and now they need done again). He then went on to state that I should receive an e-mail with instructions on what to do next, and if they are still issues to reply to a text message that will be sent.
Duly, an email arrived. It began with "Sorry you had to call us today about your wireless disconnecting. We’re pleased we could help you get it working again." and continued on with with this theme. No, my problem is not resolved! I phoned back, this time advising me to change channels, and check individual devices to see if they're any conflicts - I did this pretty quickly and disabled and re-enabled WiFi on my Laptop, phone, ipod and still to no avail.
I have now been told that I will get a phone call between 3 and 3:30pm to see if the WiFi will settle down. huh!
I don't mean to be such a pain and sound like such a git, but this is not an issue that I believe the technical support (via the call centre anyway) will be able to solve. This is an issue with the HH3, mine at least, not being able to handle mutiple WiFi devices conntected simualtaneously - all but one on N, the other on G. Now, I'm of the understanding that this shouldn't be a problem. I'm sick of telephone support going through their script without listening to the whole issue either or beleiving that I spent a good 2 hours yesterday getting to the bottom of this. I don't need line tests, I don't need resetting the router, I don't need changing channels - I've did all this!
So it looks as though I'm stuck on HH3 in 'G' for now until we solve this issue.
Further information: I'm using the type A HH3; again wired devices are not impacted in any way from this issue; I have tried multiple different channels; YES! I've reset the router and power cycled it; And this issue happens wether my WiFi devices are 1 meter away from the HH3 or 15 meters away.
Could this be a bad HH3 or frimware issue? Can someone suggest something or highlight something that I've perhaps overlooked or missed?

WRT310N v1 and MacBook Pro wireless issues

Hi all,
I've been having ongoing wireless issues with my WRT310N v1. I have a macbook pro (early 2009) with mac os 10.5.8. I have cable internet, with a DHCP connection. I have a computer and PS3 hardwired through the router, and they work flawlessly. The wireless, however, has never been what it should be. Internet loads slow, even though the connection speed is pretty good (not as fast as hardwired devices, but close).
Here are the wireless settings:
wireless config: manual
network mode: mixed (the Macbook can get wireless-n, by iPhone is only g)
Radio band: standard 20 mhZ
wide channel: 9 (can't change this with this config, unless i go wide channel at 40 mhZ)
standard channel: 11
SSID broadcast: enabled
I've got WPA2 security, with AES encryption. I've set the Beacon interval to 75, and left the Fragmentation and RTS thresholds at default. The firewall is activated, and "filter anonymous internet requests" is disabled.I'm wondering if I'm losing so much speed by broadcasting a mixed signal, instead of just G or just N. I've tried transmitting only in Wireless-N, but there's no noticeable change (and the iPhone can't connect at all).
Any input at all would be really appreciated. I'm hoping I don't have to fork over $30 to linksys just to get tech support. Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well its not necessary to power cycle your router everytime whenever you make any changes on your Router. But if you re-configure all the settings on your from scratch, then its better to power cycle your router.

Using HP Officejet 6110 and Officejet 6500 wireless issues

I have been using an HP Offciejet 6110 printer for a long time with an HP laptop running WINXP. I purchased a new HP laptop running WIN7. The WIN7 laptop will print to the 6110 in color only and doesn't allow the HP Imagimg Director software to work.
I recently purchased a new HP Officejet 6500 wireless printer and set that up to run off the HP laptop with WIN7 using the full software install. That seems to be working OK.
I then setup theold XP laptop using only the drivers for the Officejet 6500 so I could still use the Officejet 6110 from that computer and all the scanning and other features of the HP Imageing Director software. But it appears that the Officejet 6500 drivers have scewed up the Officejet 6110 software drivers on the XP laptop. How do I get this computer back to using the 6110 as normal (which was very useful) but be able to use the 6500 as an optional printer without all the 6500 features?

Hi dresdenron,
Thanks for clarifying the issue again. I was a bit confused.
How is the Officejet 6500 and Officejet 6110 setup on the Windows XP? (USB, Wireless)
Both models use completely different software. So there shouldn't be any interference even if the full software had been installed for the Officejet 6500. If both printers are connected by a USB cable, then the Officejet 6500 might have taken over the port and therefore causing the scan not to work.
What happens when you try to scan? (error message)
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the Officejet 6110. This way it will be recognized on the new port assigned.

I've read others' posts on this issue and still need an answer that works. Safari keeps dropping wireless; no issues on a Dell laptop with XP in same room. Cleared cache, etc. - any other ideas?

I've read others' posts on this issue and still don't have an answer that works! Safari keeps dropping wireless connection every 5 - 10 minutes (it's gotten progressively worse over the last month). My husband, sitting 10 ft across from me, has no issues on a Dell laptop with XP so doesn't appear to be the router or ISP. Safari v5.0.6 Mac OS 10.5.8. Cleared cache, tried kill commands in Terminal, restarts, etc. Only restarting seems to keep it at bay for a period, but then it will start again. Any other ideas?

You posted a question about a problem connecting a Mac to a wireless router. You have an old Dell laptop that works well with that router.
I pointed you to a brief discussion with another poster who had a problem connecting a Mac to a wireless router. He had an old Dell laptop that worked well with that router. I suggested he upgrade the router firmware. He upgraded it, and the problem was solved. Another poster in that thread did the same thing, and his problem was also solved. Within the last day or two, I made the same suggestion to a third poster in another thread, and his problem was solved too.
Conclusion: Upgrading the router firmware helps sometimes.
If I understand your response, you think that checking for a firmware update isn't even worth a try. Am I missing something?

[SOLVED] 64 Bit Install - Wireless / Kernel Issue

Hi All
I decided to install the 64 bit version of Arch from scratch instead of upgrading the existing 32 bit. I downloaded and attempted to install "Arch 2011.08.19 X86_64".
The first problem was that I couldn't get the wireless up and running. I did the usual:
cp /etc/network.d/examples/wireless-wpa /etc/network.d/talktalk
nano /etc/network.d/talktalk
netcfg talktalk
I edited the talktalk file to give it my ESSID etc. and usually when I do an install the network comes straight up, when I use "netcfg talktalk" - but not in this case. I got an error about there were no wireless extensions installed or something similar. I rebooted and noticed an error as the system came up:
b43 - phy0 Error: Found unsupported PHY (Analog 10, Type 8, Revision 1)
Obviously I looked into this and it seems it's a known problem; something to do with a mistake someone made in a unit in the kernel or something like that. A programming error anyway.
I then plugged my laptop straight into the router and installed via the wired connection instead and installed. I still have the problem even after "sudo pacman -Syu" upgrade. From what I've read it seems the way to get around it is to downgrade the kernel - documented here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … g_Packages - but I don't much like that idea. What happens when I subsequently run an upgrade? It will probably just fall over again right?
Anyone got an alternative solution? I had a look at upgrading to the Testing repo but obviously that has all sorts of potential issues which I don't want to have to spend the time resolving. For the time being I've fallen back to my 32 bit Arch system but it would be nice to know how to resolve the 64 bit issue.
Thanks for any help / suggestions
Rich

The chipset is BCM4313:

I have absolutely no problem at all with Arch 32, it's only with the 64 bit install.

Is anyone else having email problems such as apps exiting in the middle of an email? It may be a wireless issue. I use First Class for work and yahoo email for personal. I will be in the middle of typing a long email and the app just quits, all data lost.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Have a D-Link DIR-655 Wireless Router and Having WEP or WPA issues? READ TH

I just contacted D-Link with the following Letter and wanted to post this here for anyone that may need it:
"I have to say that I do truly enjoy this product since I got it to work, but I have some things to clear up.
Are your Level 1 techs truly trained in networking equipment? I called 3 times for help with this issue and no one was able to help me nor completely understand my problem... I apologize for the tone, but it is frustrating when a tech repeats a procedure 4 times (I can understand repeating something 2 times if needed) - when I tell him it doesn't work I feel we should move onto another trouble shooting step. So what I would like to do is tell you what I did to fix the issue in case another person runs into this and they call you for support.
I have a an iMac (but this problem will be reproduced on any Mac with an Airport Extreme card) and I can only get on the internet wireleslly because of the location of my computer and the cable modem/router.
The DIR-655 that I picked up from best buy was Hardware Revision A2 and the Firmware was 1.05 (the latest at this current time)...
If I setup this router with the default settings. The wireless connectivity worked fine - although if I were to apply any type of security to the wireless settings (WEP, WPA 1 or 2 Personal) I would not be able to join the network. The Mac OS would keep telling me that there was an error joining the "xxxxxx" network (where xxxxxx was the SSID of my router). Anyways after tinkering for almost 3 hours and running back and forth resetting the router and testing with multiple Macs I was stumped and decided to get a copy of the 1.04 version of the firmware and downgrade the router back down to see if it was an issue with the latest firmware. Guess what - works perfect...
I would love to see a version 1.06 come out soon that addresses this issue and has the bug fixes from 1.05. But I can guarantee you there is something in the 1.05 firmware that will stop Macs from wirelessly connecting to the router when any type of wireless security is in place.
Please advise your techs of this issues and hopefully come up with a fix for this issue.
Thank you for your time."
I hate when tech support eats half your day with something that could have been fixed in minutes if people are properly trained.

Hi there, harleygirl.
A look around the internet and my previous knowledge indicates this is not an issue with firefox, but with how the server that the app is run on is incorrectly configured. To test this, please install an old version of firefox. You can download an older version from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html then try to visit the website again. Please let us know if it turns out that it works with version 3.6

I have had wireless issues sense Leapord, any fixes yet? its a shame that my wife has to sit in front of our 27 inch imac on a $300 Windows computer to use the web effectively. I have tried all fixes and some work while others don't but all temporary

This Lion wireless issue has become more than just an irritation, so much so, my wife has resorted to sitting in front of a 27 inch imac with a 300 dollar Walmart Windows computer to get the bills paid and use the web. And yes, there is not a fix out there I haven't tried over the last year or so, some worked and some didn't, but all were temporary at best. Same issue with my Macair, I wonder if its a hardware issue, like the video card in my 2006 MBP, it went out after the warrenty and then I found out there was a calss action suit going on over it, unfortunately Apple wouldn't cover it and wanted 7oo bucks to fix it, sold that as parts.
While i really like me Macs, I own three, I may have to bow out and stick with LINUX, that has yet to let me down, anyone know if Mountain will fix this issue? or are we all just waiting for defective WiFi cards to fail at our own expense, PS, got three Macs for sale.

Sounds like you're getting kernel panics, which are usually, but not always, caused by hardware problems, with memory being one of the regular culprits.
First thing I would do is to get our your original OS X disks, insert the first one (should say 'AHT version x.x' in small print on the label - if not, find the one that does), and reboot holding the Alt key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTool programs, they can do similar testing. Does that identify any hardware issues?
Next, I'd download rember from http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/ . This is a memory testing program that you can set to run overnight. Does it come up with any errors? If so, try resetting your memory card(s) by removing and putting back into the computer. Rerun memory test.
