[SOLVED]Wireless network will not autostart

On my new install of Arch I've found that when I reach a command prompt, I have to manually setup my wireless card every time I reboot. While I was following the procedure in the beginners guide, I typed in the command for the net-auto-wireless.service, but it said that it didn't exist. Did I do something wrong during my install? May have to start over... at least now I know how to manually configure the card to get on the internet!!!

net-auto-wireless was part of the netcfg network manager, which has been deprecated in favor of netctl.  Netctl was designed from the ground up with systemd in mind, and works quite well.  Though netcfg still exists and I think is in the community repo now.
So basically you need to either check to make sure that netctl is installed, or install it.
It sounds like you are a beginner, so it may be worth installing wicd.  Since you are also apparently still at the point of setup where you don't yet have a graphical interface, you should know that wicd in our repos has been split into wicd and wicd-gtk.  The latter is the graphical interface/tray icon.  So all you need is the plain old wicd to get things going, as it includes wicd-curses, which is a ncurses based interface. 
Wicd is what I used for quite some time, and it never did me wrong.  I just eventually learned that there were other alternatives out there, and I now use basically all of them depending on my mood.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8620 (Wireless Network) will not install on Win8. 1

    Today I received my new HP Officejet 8620 PRO printer. I have setup Wireless Network access, and installed the Driver successfully on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit PC, and tried to do the same on my Acer Win8.1 Laptop. During the installation, it finds the Printer on the network at the correct IP Address (192.168.178.48) and goes as far as a dialog showing "Network Printer Installation" with a Green progress bar cycling but never progressing ... I have left it be for over 45 minutes, and have tried to cancel the installation, with the same problem. Now the setup is jammed, and cannot progress. Suggestions please!!! Not sure what more relevant information is required ... so I'm open to questions ... which I'll try and answer ... or (preferably) suggestions on how to fix this. Many Thanks for your anticipated support.  p.s. HP ... I find it ridiculous that I can buy a brand new printer and yet have to revert to Public Forums to beg help! (or pay an exhorbent extra fee to get telephone support)

    I would suggest cancelling the installation and then download the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools.  The tools there may help diagnose system issues, if nothing is found I would suggest running the driver wizard. Depending on your country the warranty would typically be one year from date of purchase.  Likely if you were charged (or an attempt made to charge you) for support on a new printer you were not contacting HP.  Unfortunately an internet search for "HP Support" will turn up a number of locations that may pretend to be HP but are not.  The diagnosis there is typically "you have malware or a virus, we can fix that but it will cost $149" (or perhaps $349 for a lifetime).  I once gave one of these folks access to a dummy test machine, after an hour accessing my system and suggesting various fixes I made it clear that I would not be buying anything from them.  At this point they attempted to encrypt my system drive (after warning me that if I did not buy their product my system would likely be unusable).  Fortunately the system was set up to require an admin password to install programs or do "bad" things.... If you need to contact HP start at the link here: http://www.hp.com/contacthp/  

  • [Solved] Wireless Networking Randomly Not Working

    Note: My network card is an Atheros AR9285 PCI-E Adapter. ath9k driver and wicd
    Apologies in advance, I'm relatively new to Linux as a whole. With the recent pacman 4 update, my entire system has been somewhat out of whack. I've been unable to figure out how to get it to properly sign keys and update packages, but that's another story entirely. At least my wireless connection still functioned when that was the problem.
    I booted my laptop up today and it was suddenly unable to connect to my wireless network. I checked the network to make sure that it was running properly (it is), so came back to the laptop. It said that it was unable to acquire an IP address.
    Various googling via my windows box led me to various suggested fixes including restarting wicd and wiping the .conf files, starting from scratch. All that accomplished was making the network hidden, and I'm afraid I've no idea as to how I probed it to show the SSID in the first place.
    Again, I'm very sorry, but this is extremely vexing for me, and I'm quite overcome by frustration at the moment. Everything was working fantastically until this pacman update, and now my laptop is good for very little.

  • Wireless network will not connect after Security update 2006 06

    Downloaded recent security update. Ran Disc Utility before and after. Unable to connect to my wireless network (Netgear ) which always works without a problem. After trying to connect using Internet Connection Utility I tried Key Chain First Aid and also reset the key chain. No help. Finally trashed the update packages and had to log off before it connected. Any one run into this problem and a fix? Thanks.

  • WRT54G - Desktop connects, wireless connections will not

    I have a WRT54G router and until a few days ago it worked fine. My desktop connects to the internet, however the two wireless computers will not. I am also unable to connect to router via 192.168.1.1 on the desktop. Both wireless computer show a strong signal but do not connect to the internet. I checked the ip adress on one of the wireless computers and for some reason, it has aquired the router address (192.168.1.1). How can I fix this? I tired ipconfig/release and renew but it keeps using the same address.
    Thank you in advance

    As you mentioned in the post .... under wireless connection it show Ip 192.168.1.1 .... click start >> control panel >> network conection >> Wireless network connection properties ...
    Go to Internet protocol TCP/IP .... check that is it showing Ip settingsunder Manul/Static or DHCP ....
    If Manual then change it to Automatic Configuration DHCP .... click OK ...reboot the computer. ... Try to connect to new network ....
    See if you are going online ....

  • Wrt610n wireless network does not work after firmeware upgrade

    Hi
    I just updated my Wrt610n hardware version 1 to the newest firmware, it did finish with sucess, I did factory reset reboot and reconfig. But the wireless network does not work , cant connect computers to it. Did downgrade the firmware to the same it was and restore my settings but still wireless does not work. But router works fine with lan.  Any suggestions? maybe the firmware tosted the router?
    Regards
    Stefan

    Update -
    After last reset and reupgrade with the newest firmware for hardware version 1 I could config the router and connect 2 computers with wireless - but only for about 15 mín - then they lost connection and could not reconnect.
    I did then get the newest update for hardeware version 2 - just to try and upgraded with that and got success, and now I have reset the router again and config it and those 2 computers are connected and have been for 1 hour now. So seems to be working - is it okay to have the firmware for hardware version 2 on my version 1 router?
    Any thought what is going on - could it be that the other firmware had not loaded compleytle or?

  • Wireless key will not work

    I just moved my mac mini to my new apartment and my wireless keyboard will not work. My man mini model is A1103. The problem is that I need to type in a password to get on my mac to get to the bluetooth config screen. So I'm stuck at the login screen with a keyboard that just blinks. Its also my TV so im goin nuts. PLZ help.

    If you know someone with an USB keyboard, borrow it and use it to input the password. It doesn't need to have been made by Apple or designed to be used with a Mac.

  • Wireless mouse will not work at the top of the page on ANY website while running Firefox 7.0.1

    I am currently running Firefox 7.0.1 and have not had many problems until today. I have noticed that my wireless mouse will not work at the top of any website. This means I cannot log into many sites. I have also noticed that during page downloads, I have to move the mouse in order for the page to load or it just pauses. Any help would be appreciated!

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • After installing Exchange cu6 2 servers will not autostart

    after installing Exchange CU6 - 2 services will NOT autostart
    Transport Submission & Unified Messaging
    Both will start if I goto Services & Manually start these
    (Unified Messaging - I think that was an option on the initial install but I'm not using unified messaging anyway!)
    any ideas how to find out why and fix it ?
    ChrisS

    Hi
    They are probably dependant on other services, try delaying the startup of these services and see. I have it with one of my servers as well but since CU2. if i set the services to delayed then they start correctly.
