[solved] wireless - card generic netlink not found - iwlist scanning

I am usually able to connect over wireless networks using netcfg, but the following message that is appreciated since I upgraded my kernel to 3.x
> netcfg cesupa
:: cesupa up [BUSY]
nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found
nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found
I remember that once you updated the kernel, I had to redo the driver installation of wireless network card:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
and realized that if I use too much network scanning command the wireless network card seems to stop working suddenly.
> iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
the place where I always use the wireless network, there are 10 active networks in signal quality between 2/5 - 3/5
where the other laptops (Windows, Macs, and other distros) can see the normal way these networks
I've read the page for the configuration of my wireless network card on the wiki, but did not find any solution to my problem. any other ideas?

Why are you scanning eth1? I would think your wireless device would be wlan0. What is the output of:
# ifconfig wlan0 up
If this brings you back to the prompt and does not display an error then try running iwlist against wlan0.
The new kernel should have had no effect on your wireless configuration. Any reason why you are using netcfg instead of wicd or network-manager?
All the best,
Ian

Wireless-Card doesn't not work with WPA/WPA2 but with WEP [Solved]

Hello I have a MacBook (late 2007) with a wireless-card from Broadcam, the card works with WEP and the classic configuration over rc.conf very well. But I can't get the card running with WPA and the net network-profiles.

[SOLVED] BCM43241 wireless card seems to not exist.

Hey guys, I'm trying to install Arch on a Sony Vaio Duo 13. Unfortunately, it only has a wifi card and no ethernet port. Usually, installing wireless card drivers involves using lspci to detect what card I have, then finding the drivers and firmware for it. But this time the card (BCM43241) does not show up at all in Arch (it works in Windows). There's no trace of it with lspci or lsusb (fyi: it's a builtin card).
Here's my lspci and lsusb output:

Any thoughts on why the device doesn't show up? Is there any other output I can provide?

trusktr wrote:@paperwastage. I'm not sure how to tell if connects through SDIO, but yeah, based on that link you posted seems like it does. But when I do dmesg | grep brcm is shows aboslutely nothing. There's no trace of my card anywhere. It just seems like Arch has no clue that the card exits (let alone that it's a wireless card). Does yours at least show up with lshw or lspci?
nope, mine doesn't show up via lshw/lspci/lsusb, probably because it's not connected to the pci / usb bus (probably connected directly to SoC)
maybe your kernel doesn't have brcmfmac loaded. try this in root
#unload brcmfmac
modprobe -r brcmfmac
#reload brcmfmac
modprobe brcmfmac
note down the logs that should print on screen (and in dmesg)
also, go to windows, use some application to read your system (I've used http://rh-software.com/)
it showed my Broadcom 802.11abgn Wireless SD Adapter mounted on "SD\VID_.....", which is the SDIO port

[SOLVED] Wireless card not detected after upgrade

After running a pacman update today, my wireless card is no longer being detected. 'ip link' and 'iw dev' show no sign of it. My ethernet port is detected just fine.
I downgraded linux and systemd with no luck, thinking that they were the most likely culprits. Also, I dealt with the new /etc/passwd.pacnew and /etc/group.pacnew files created by the filesystem upgrade and ran the syslinux-install_update script to go along with the new version of syslinux. Besides a new mirrorlist, these were the only special cases pacman warned about when upgrading.

I'll ask the standard issue questions. Did you perform a partial upgrade? If so, perform a pacman -Syu and try again.
Also, is the running kernel the same kernel that is installed? Compare the versions provided by uname -a and pacman -Qi linux and ensure they are exactly they are exactly the same revision.

EP6: com.sap.pct.crm.generics.ValueHelp not found

Hi at all,
We are tring to setup crm default scenario in EP6.
To do this we have imported the relative business package from iviewstudio.com (Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0 50.2)
The Bsp part of the application seems to work fine but we get an error following the link that should open a pop-up to help the user selecting values
The error is described here:
<i>Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
iView not found: /global/services/service-iviews/local/com.sap.pct.crm.generics.ValueHelp.</i>
This Iview was imported correctly from the business package (I've checke the import logs).
I've looked on the server and I've found the related classes/jar (generics.jar).
I've looked also log (using the logviewer application) files but there nothing releted to this.
Does anyone have an idea to solve the problem? or something else to check?
Thanks in advance,
Bye
Fabio

Hi Giovanni,
It looks like a permissions issue, you might want to refer to the permissions of
1. The role that you are creating, see to it that you have everyone group assigned to it and enduser checked.
2. As you are connecting to CRM system, you might be have created a system using which you are accessing the CRM system, check for the permissions of that as well.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sandeep Tudumu

[SOLVED] Wireless card works, but configuration and software doesn't

Hi,
I could manage to activate my Atheros wireless card using the madwifi drivers. I wanted to use knetworkmanager, but unfortunatly i doesn't recognize any of my network devices. I've read the other networkmanager threads, changed the daemons order, disabled the network daemon and the routing entry in rc.conf, but still (k)networkmanager doesn't know anything about my devices.
I tried to use knetworkmanager-svn from the AUR. Initially it doesn't work because the SVN URLs inside the PKGBUILD script a wrong, but even after I fixed them I couldn't compile the source, because there is no configure and no Makefile in the svn head. I'm really a noob when it comes to the linux build system, so I had to give it up.
Now I use wifi-radar. It is terribly slow to connect, but it works. However, when I disconnect with wifi-radar, then do 'ifconfig ath0 down && ifconfig eth0 up' the DNS requests fail. I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the default route (set to eth0), but they are right; the interface just doesn't use the name servers. The only way to get it working is to restart the laptop. How does Linux chose a "default interface"?
I'm not afraid of editing text files, but I'd like change networks fast and easy. I don't want to spend hours to adapt to a new access point... I'm really looking forward to the new wlan stack; maybe things will be getting easier then.

Okay, now KNetworkManager works (I forgot adding my user to the HAL group :] ).
There is still a problem - I know it's networkmanager related: At home I'm not using a DHCP server. KNetworkManager cannot handle static IP configuration. However, if I issue the command 'ifconfig ath0 192.168.0.12 subnet 255.255.255.0' while KNetworkManager is searching for a DHCP server I can even ping my gateway, so there is definitely a connection. Unfortunatly KNetworkManager closes this connections after a short period (dhcp timeout). Is there a quick'n'dirty workaround for this issue?
Another problem with KNetworkManager: When switching back to wired network, the DNS server is there :-) but the default gateway is not
Thanks for suggestions..
kei
//EDIT: In Debian there is a configuration file called /etc/network/interfaces. KNetworkManager uses the static IP information I enter there. However, when I modify /etc/rc.conf accordingly in ArchLinux, KNetworkManager does NOT use it.
//EDIT 2: After '/etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart' the static IP setting from /etc/rc.conf are used. The problem with the default gateway only occurs when the connection to one of the networks FAILS. After that failure the configuration is kind of messed up.
Altough it seems more like a dirty hack than a definite solution, I'm quite happy with the way it works now.
[CLOSED] <-- maybe I'm blind, but how can I change the topic to "[SOLVED] $Topic" ?

Fans intermittently run @ full speed - problem solved - wireless card was culprit

I hope this helps someone in the future with this odd problem, that I see is rare but not unknown.
I have a P7-1222 which from new, would on about 1 in 10 powerups (i.e., random) have both CPU and case fans running full speed (several thousand RPM) making the machine very loud. They would reset to more normal speeds of ~ 1000 on a cold or hot reset.
TMPIN1 at time this occurred at powerup would, via HWMONITOR or SIW, show 99C (which was impossible), making the fans race.
Two motherboard replacements, PS substitution, CPU swap etc. did nothing. The intermittent problem persisted.
Now the culprit has been identified. I replaced the wireless LAN/Bluetooth combo PCI mini card with an identical unit from eBay (in this machine, an HP COMPAQ 615939-001 652279-001 WIRELESS N BLUETOOTH COMBO WLAN MINICARD). The problem of intermittent fan racing is now gone.
The wireless card in the machine seems to have been the culprit, perhaps occasionally sending a noise spike on powerup as it initialized onto the bus, thus affecting the Fintek F71858 LPCIO TMPIN1 reading and making it 99C, causing fans to race via BIOS thinking the machine was burning up!
Doing some investigating, I had found the following in the Data Sheet for the Fintek F71858 LPCIO chip ("Hardware KBC with ACPI, Temp. and Fan Control") used on numerous HP/Pegatron motherboards, including the Carmel/Carmel2 and other HP boards that use the same basic circuit layout:
=======================
8. PCB Layout Guide
F71858 adopts Current Mode measure method to do temperature detected. The measure data will not be affected by different process of CPU due to use current mode technology. This technology measures mini-voltage from the remote sensor so a good PCB layout must be cared about noise minimizing. The noises often come from circuit trace which is a track from remote sensor (CPU side) to detect circuit input (F71858 side). The signal on this track will be inducted mini-noises when it passes through a high electromagnetic area. Those effects will result in the mini-noises and show in the detected side. It will be reported a wrong data which you want to measure. Please pay attention and follow up the check list below in order to get an actual and real temperature inside the chip.
... Place the F71858 as close as practical to the remote sensor diode. In noisy environments, such as a computer main-board, the distance can be 4 to 8 inches. (typ). This length can be increased if the worst noise sources are avoided.
Noise sources generally include clock generators, CRTs, memory buses and PCI/ISA bus etc
=======================
And defective wireless cards can be a noise source too, it seems.

The issue was what I expected. I picked a new reader last night and everything works fine. My old card reader just didn't work with the new card.

Connection problems after installing wireless router: frequent "Server not found"

I recently got a Linksys wireless router but since then, a lot of webpages show "server not found" frequently. I can eventually open these if I keep refreshing the page or come back to it later. This only happens to my desktop PC connected by a cable but never happens to our 3 laptops with wireless connection. The LAN cable changed but problem persists. Desktop PC swapped but problem still persists. Is this simply a defective router?

What is the model no of the router...?
Try changing the MTU size to 1350 on the router and power cycle the router and check..

[SOLVED]Wireless Card troubles

I am an absolute beginner trying to install Arch for the first time. Because of reasons, I am required to do this via Wireless. This is my only option. The computer I am using does not have an internal wireless card, so I purchased a Medialink USB dongle. When plugged in, the dongle recognizes my network, but connection to the network fails. The dongle uses an RT3070 chipset if I'm not mistaken, and the website has a driver available for Linux. Unfortunately, the instructions to install said driver are written for bash and I am not competent enough with Arch to handle this. I have the driver on a separate flash drive. Can you guys help?

What I mean by that is, when I run the command iw dev I see the device, and then when I run wifi-menu _____, I see my wifi network. However, when I try to connect to it, the connection fails. I presume this is because I do not have the correct driver installed.
The output of dmesg tail is the same when the USB is attached versus not attached, but I didn't try to reboot with the device not attached, I'll warrant. I will not try to type out everything it says, because it's about 50 lines. It talks about the driver, says if there's an ACPI driver available I should use it instead of the native driver, and recognizes that it has an RT3070 chipset. At the end of all the info, it says the link is not ready.
The output of ip link when the device is attached is:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> MTU 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp1s8 <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> MTU 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 00:15:f2:a1:34:27 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: wlp0s29f7u4: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 14:35:8b:0b:ad:8f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
wlp0s29f7u4 is my device. It is the one that disappears from the list when I unplug the USB. It is also what appears when I use iw dev.
dmesg | grep firmware produces a message that informs me it's loading firmware file 'rt2870.bin' and then Firmware detected - version 0.29.
I've tried to supply as much info as possible. Let me know if there's anything else you need.
I do not have a smartphone, unfortunately.

[SOLVED] yaourt bug (error: target not found: [b]I )

subj, after install and uninstall xampp
yaourt -S xampp
==> Installing from a package list
Пароль:
error: target not found: {b}I
*in quote changed [] to []
maybe clear package list?
I tried:
yaourt -Syu
yaourt -Syua
yaourt -Scc
rm /tmp/yaourt-tmp-$USER
reinstall yaourt
but fail
other soft installing normally
yaourt -Syy is the solution

Just so you know, a bug is typically not something that only you experience. I just want to ensure that you aren't filing bug reports for things that are only occuring on your machine and not a systemic issue within the utility itself.

[SOLVED]getting "error 15: file not found!"

Hi all, I'm new to Arch and linux in general but i've managed so far and I'm really enjoying it.
I'm dual booting Arch and Vista.
Anyway, everything was working fine until I decided that I wanted to stop using GRUB as my bootloader and I used a program called EasyBCD and this guide http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista … htm?page=4
Now, I get "Error 15: File not found!" when i try to boot into arch. I've looked through countless other threads and google results with people with the same problem but none of the solutions in those threads helped me.
here's my menu.lst

ok, try doing it the manual way by booting the cd as if you where to do an installation where it prompts you to log in as root.
Once your logged in as root do
grub
and you will get the grub prompt
grub>
then the at the grub> prompt do
grub> root (hd0,2)
that tells grub it will find the boot files on the 3rd partition of the 1st hard drive. Then,
grub> setup (hd0)
to setup the grub bootloader on the MBR of the first hard drive.
If all goes well you should see something like 'Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes '.
grub> quit
and reboot.

[SOLVED] GRUB 2 - "error: file not found" after Clonezilla Restore

Hello,
I backed up my Arch Install which is one root partition covering the entire SDD with Clonezilla, to play around with Gentoo and FreeBSD on my Laptop.
Now I restored the image and when GRUB 2 loads I see "error: file not found" three times for a short momemt before I'm in the GRUB 2 menu.
When I boot my I also see these 3 messages (probably the once from the early loading process) and "Loading Linux ck kernel...." "Loading initrafms...." "Press any key to continue..." When I wait for a short time or press enter it boots like expected (fsck message appears for a short time since I'm using quite boot and I'm in KDM after that).
Grub loading...
error: file not found
error: file not found
error: file not found
Loading Linux ck kernel...
Loading initramfs...
Press any key to continue...
I did not have this when I backed it up. It booted into the menu and when I booted the menu entry it would go black to show me the fsck message and seconds later I was in KDM.
I tried $ sudo grub-mkconfig but it did not change anything.
This is my current /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates

Anyone has a clue what files it is looking for? And why it doesn't boot straight away, when there is nothing that keeps it from booting up normal anyway?

Sounds like a good reason, as when I do pacman -Ss akonadi it shows up.
EDIT: when speaking of which, it works.
But:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
kdelibs: /usr/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindKDevPlatform.cmake exists in filesystem
should I just delete it(the file)? I have kdevelop installed along side cmake.

[SOLVED]Dual boot Grub2 : file not found

here is my config :
Ubuntu 11.1 installed on sd1. It is my default system, and where the GRUB2 config is.
I installed Archlinux on sd2, with /boot on (hd1,1) and / on (hd1,2).
I want to set up GRUB to boot both systems.
here is my /etc/grub.d/11_linux_arch, in the Ubuntu system :
#!/bin/sh -e
echo "Adding Archlinux"
cat << EOF
menuentry "ArchLinux" {
set root=(hd1,2)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
EOF
vmlinux-linux and initramfs-linux.img are well in my /boot folder on (hd1,1)
At grub prompt, I can see Archlinux as an option. When I select it, I get an error message, "file not found".
I can't see where is an error.
TY for any help.
Last edited by gabx (2011-11-29 22:41:11)

Here is what I added to /etc/grub.d/40_custom
# Arch Linux
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
set root=(hd1,1)
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/38616db1-366f-40f4-a728-1230e81abb21 ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
I think telling the uuid is better but /dev/sdb2 (my / partition) works too.
Then :
#sudo update-grub
and I have been able to dual boot Archlinux and Ubuntu 11.10.
The resolution is bad, so I will add a line about it, but I guess it is not diificult.

[SOLVED] bash: $'\302\240grep': command not found [frequent CLI error]

For the past several days I've been getting the following error frequently on the command line:
bash: $'\302\240grep': command not found
I think I'm only getting this error in response to commands that are piped to grep, such as the following:
$ ps -ef | grep xyz
or
$ locate | grep abc
However, I don't think I've gotten the error if I type the same commands as above, but without the space between '|' and 'grep'. And, although the error is frequent, it doesn't happen every time; it is seemingly random.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any idea what might be causing it?
I'm using rxvt-unicode as my terminal.
