[SOLVED] wireless problems
I've installed ndiswrapper and loaded the .inf file it said hardware and driver present.
I can iwconfig and see my connection but I can't iwlist wlan0 scan, it says no scan results.
I can't seem to set the ESSID, it is called default, I called it like that but it just won't cooperate.
What conf files do I need to change and how do I need to change them so I can go wireless.
My laptop has a build in ipn 2220 network card, I have the correct drivers and they are loaded with ndiswrapper.
It appeared that somehow it didn't function because my kernel does powersaving. I added "pci=noacpi apic" to my grub/menu.lst and now it works fine.
I don't think it is the same driver. Either way I will try it and report what happened.
I have an acer 1363 with 3000+ athlon sempron processor.

My iPad shows a message "Cannot find AirPrint printer". I used to use my iPad to print materials using HP wireless printer D110. Now it does not want to print. Is this because I am now using IOS 7? What should I do to solve the problem? Help please.
Restart your WiFi router and printer by removing power for 30 seconds.

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!
We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

[Solved] Wired connection ok but wireless problem on Intel 5100
Here is how i solved the problem :
1 - get back to the wiki doing everything in order
2 - added dbus in attition to hal in the deamon line in rc.conf
3 - put wicd at the end of the deamon line
4 - then configured wicd for my wireless network at boot : no more dbus error, and connection perfectly ok
Thx very much for the superb wiki, certainly my fault if i messed up but i still have to learn
Hi
I've got a problem with the wireless connection on my toshiba R10
my wired connection is working flawlessly but i can't use my wifi card. I'm using arch 2009.8 i686
Here is what i've done following the wiki :
1 : installed ifplugd for the RJ45 connection + added the deamon on my rc.conf
2 : installed wireless-tools
3 : installed the driver intel 5100
# pacman -S iwlwifi-5000-ucode
set up my mod_autolog yes
here is my ifconfig -a
[me@arch ~]$ ifconfig -a

I suspect that something is wrong between iwlagn and iwlwifi-5000 which can cause this problem.
I have to say that I'm quite lost here, i hope someone will have an idea
thank you very much
Last edited by Janarto (2009-08-30 02:46:18)Stab in the dark...the hal daemon should start dbus, but sometimes I've been encouraged to add the dbus DAEMON explicitly (before hal).
I don't really understand dbus too intimately, but I've come across situations where although dbus is running, I can't talk to it because the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_{ADDRESS,PID,WINDOWID} variables weren't visible in the environment I was working in. For instance, if dbus is started by xinitrc, and then some system-level daemon tries to talk to dbus, usually it fails for me, and I have to use some workaround.
Now I would expect wicd to be set up so that the ordinary user doesn't encounter any problems of this sort. On the other hand, the error you're getting does say that it's dbus communication which is failing. Perhaps you could try shutting down hald and dbus, open a terminal, su -, /etc/rc.d/dbus start, and then try from that command line to tell wicd to connect? -
[SOLVED] Wireless internet connection problem during installation
Hi to everyone!
I ask you a help in activating my wireless connection.
I tried to install from the recent ISO (201208 - via CD)
but I found some problems in activating a wireless connection in the first steps
of the installation guide.
My laptop is a Hp pavilion dv5 1020-el, with an Intel wireless 5100AGN internal interface.
So I did:
1) iwconfig to see my devices and the system detects my wlan0.
2) followed the Wireless_Setup page from wiki to set it
3) used wpa_supplicant and passphrase to set my ESSID name and wpa key.
4) iwconfig then showed wlan0 associated with my ESSID, with Power ON and Encryption OFF.
I could not try a connection via ping command.
Even wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf did not work.
Maybe the problem is with Encryption OFF.
Thanks for your attention!
EDIT:
I solved this way,connecting to an open wireless open network:
1.(from boot) I created a profile in /etc/network.d/ from /etc/network.d/examples
2. started a # netcfg 'my_ESSID'
3. # ping -c 3 www.google.com
All is ok! I can install Arch Linux from my smartphone as a router.
But I couldn't connect to a WPA protected wireless network yet.
Last edited by spinaluc (2012-08-18 13:08:15)Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. The company who provides the wireless internet service to my apartment complex moved the antenna next to my unit and claims he boosted the power. As the saying goes, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". I complained almost daily to the apartment manager and she, in turn, griped to the provider which eventually led to the "solution" above. Using Skype is still shaky as the person I'm calling isn't always able to make out what I am saying. So, I use Skype only when I REALLY need to make a phone call. Even though none of your suggestions solved my problem, I am still very, very grateful to all of you who tried. Thank you very, very much! -- Matt

thanks that solved my problem. -
Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router. All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4. It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page. Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your response.
I had rebooted the router (several times, actually), to no avail.
I do not know the answer to whether MAC filtering is enabled on the router. Have tried to find info about that, but unsuccessfully. Router is an Arris TG852G, supplied by Comcast. I would be surprised if MAC filtering were the issue, since in addition to the computer, we have successfully connected several other devices to the wifi, namely an iPad, a Android phone and a Kindle Fire - all able to access internet pages through the wifi, and all without a need to add the device to a MAC address whitelist. To add to the mystery, the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone 4 to my network and access web pages. He was unable to connect my iPhone, however, after trying for some time.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that an iPhone cannot connect to a wireless "n" router, only "b" or "g". The Arris router is described as a n/g/b compliant router, and as noted the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone, so don't know why that would be the issue here.
By the way, my iPhone does connect wirelessly to my network at home. This difficulty is at a second home.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated. -
I can't work in Gmail since I use firefox 4. The button "New Contacts" doesn't appear. I've tried everything to solve this problem: thrown away history, cookies and ad-ons. In firefox save modus it works. In IE9 it works. Only not in firefox4.
In the former editions of firefox there were no problems.Extend wireless is simply no longer required as an option. Apple have assumed it will be extended and it is on by default.
With your main base setup.. I gather you are using the A1408??
Simply factory reset the TC..
Then when you do the setup.. extend wireless is the option that will automatically be offered to you.
I am just going to do it.. Other way around.. but it is the same thing.
So here we go..
I have factory reset the airport extreme.. and it takes a couple of min for it to come up.
You can also see it in wifi.
You can click on it in either place and get into the auto setup function.
I have no network connection at all on the extreme.. it is simply powered on and close to the computer.
It will automatically offer a name.. for reasons I won't go into here but see C9 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Give the Extending router a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. you can do it immediately here.
Go next..
Magically it is done..
Now fix up the errors..
Default password.. in my home this is not an issue.. and I don't want to change it ..
So I ignore it.
Second error is firmware is old.
But I much prefer 7.6.1 So I have no intention of giving that up.. -
X31 Wireless problems (Intel 2100) and Type Auto detected as 'TP-1-Q___' instead of '2672-NG9'
Hey
I'm a thinkpad fan, and very happy about the good ol' x-series. I have a X31 type '2672-NG9', and it has been to a warranty repair once when the charger failed. At his point I got a new mainboard.
The problem is that the wireless network hasn't been working quite right since I got the mainboard replaced. Last time I made a reinstall of windows (via the Factory defaults service in the IBM bios), I somehow got the wireless to work with Windows' "Wireless Zero Configuration" service. Never got it to work with Access connections, and FN+F5 service couldn't always see the wireless device.
I have just made a reinstall again, and this time I'm not able to install the wireless card at all. When I try to run the driver (I found via the Thinkpad drivers matrix), the card appears for a few seconds, and disappears again.
The driver is called "Intel PRO/wireless LAN 2100 3b Mini PCI adapter" and is found here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-59438
Via the Drivers matrix for the X3x's:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-43800
As said on the page, I made sure that I had the newest Access connections installed (5.30).
When I press FN-F5 i only see the Bluetooth connection, and not the wireless device.
Any ideas solve this problem?
The other problem (and I am assuming that the problems might be connected) is that my x31 laptop is autodetected as the unknown type: 'TP-1-Q___'. This is done by the program at the support homepage, and by the system update program (which makes it totally unusable )
Are there any way of changing this ID for the right type (2672-NG9)?
Kind regards

Copenhagen, DenmarkOk... last mail from me today...
The status is that my wireless Intel 2100 network card, won't run together with Access Connections. If Access Connections isn't installed, the wirelless card functions great together with the windows Zero Configuration Service, but when i install and launch AC, my wireless card disappears from windows (XP-pro by the way).
To get it work agian, i uninstall AC and reinstall the Intel driver (this often result in a new number for the wireless conection)
I have installed the newest version of Access Connnections, Power Management and Hotkey services.
I have surfed the net and found other people reporting the same problem with this card, and a thinkpad, but no solutions that worked for me yet:

Regarding the wireless problem of my T60. Hope there is someone who can help me out. Thx.
I have read some of the posts and i found out that some of the Thinkpad users have the problem of unable to connect wireless network using Access Connection but not Window wireless network connection. For my case, i have connect the network with both of them. In fact, when i use either one to connect, the other would be connected too.
The problem is, sometimes when i use my wireless network, my wireless would be switched off automatically, and the wireless light is then off, and after that i cannot switched the wireless on again. I tried on it using access connection, failed. I tried Fn+F5 to on it, but no matter how many times i click on 'on', there would not be any response. The only thing i can do after this is to restart to laptop.
I called Lenovo Support to help me solve the problem, but still failed. The first time they asked me to installed some drivers and reinstall my Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. These files included 79uj29us which is a bios update, 7kwc50ww which is the wireless driver installation, 7tvu12ww which is the hotkey driver update, and last 7tku03ww, a power management driver update. But the problem remains. The 2nd time i called, they asked me to uninstall my Access Connection and use window wireless connection as they may cause conflict to each other, and they asked me to uncheck the option of 'Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power' in the power management of wireless drive in device manager, but problem persists. The last time i called the technician and he said they only can check if it is a hardware problem and there most probably be nothing else they can do for my softwares and drivers, and he also believed that it might be the network configuration of my service provider that cause the problem, but i personally do not think so as it is quite hard to believe that the my service is switching off my wireless hardware and i have other laptop in my house too but they do not experience this problem.
Last night i discovered something new, when the wireless is off automatically again, i ran a test on the the wireless device using PC Doctor, for PCI express status test, it passed, for the wireless connectivity and signal strength test, results showed there was 'no connection', when it comes to network link test, it showed 'internal error', the TCP/IP network connection test showed failed. Then i restarted it and ran the test with the wireless switched off by my self, the PCI express status test passed too, but the remaining four test all showed 'no connection'.
I really hope if there is someone there to help me out to solve the problem or to enlighten me what the real problem is, could it be software or hardware problem, or could it be other problems like registry or what? I greatly appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this. Thanks alot.

Message Edited by cat_felix on 06-14-2008 04:15 AMI have uninstalled my Access Connection, but this problem seems to persist. IBM technician have changed the wireless card of my T60, the first few days after it was changed was very fine, no problem at all. About a week later, the problem occured again, and it happened quite frequently after that occurence. Now i really have no idea what is the cause and how to solve it. Will be greatful if there is anyone that can help me.

Solved Crackling Problem in Windows 7 (SB 24-bit USB External, HP Pavilion dv6 1124-ca laptop).
I'm one of many users who has had problems with the sound crackling problem with their sound card after upgrading to Windows 7.
I was previously on Windows Vista running 5. with 24-bit, 96000Hz sample rate Studio Quality with no problems at all. When I upgraded to Windows 7 RC, Windows was able to automatically find a driver for my external USB sound card, but when playing music, I always got a constant crackling sound coming from the speakers while trying to put the card in anything above 2. or and when putting it in 24-bit 96000Hz, the crackling only got worse. Installing the Beta drivers on the Creative site didn't work either... still had the crackling. I searched around for the past several months for solutions to no avail.
Then today, I was surfing the HP website (I have a HP Pavilion dv6 24-ca laptop) to see if they had added Windows 7 drivers to their support site and they did... and so I started downloading all available Windows 7 drivers for my specific laptop. When I first installed Windows 7 RC, it had installed it's own drivers for everything (on-board sound etc.). After replacing the Windows 7 installed "High Definition Audio Device" drivers with the HP supplied "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" drivers... I'm not sure if the on board sound driver has anything at all to do with the crackling on the Soundblaster but I replaced the drivers anyway. I also installed another driver called "AMD USB Filter" that was supplied by the HP website for Windows 7 which is another driver that I thought might help with the problem. Other drivers installed were "ENE CIR Reciever Driver" and "Realtek Card Reader Driver" but those have nothing to do with the sound card.
After installing the drivers from the HP website, I no longer get the crackling from the speakers when playing in 5.. I am also now able to select 24-bit 96000Hz sample rate without crackling as well I am very happy to have finally solved the problem. So to anyone having similar problems, I suggest you check out your manufacturers website to see if they have any drivers available for you... I have a feeling the AMD USB Filter is what solved the problem... but who knows.
Hope this helps other HP users!Try this video let me know if it helps you out.

If you can hear the music through the speakers but not the headphones I would suggest using an AUX cable because seems the sound isn't being transmitted over.
Just a friendly note here. Don't buy the wireless turtle beaches I have the x32s and I'm continuously buying batteries !

[SOLVED]Wireless connection becomes deactivated 3 seconds
Good day,
I am new to Arch. I installed Arch successfully and have everything working except the wifi.
My WLAN device is Broadcom's BCM4312 and I have installed b43 driver from AUR. Wired eth0 connection works fine but when I connect using wireless, the connection lasts about 3 seconds(enough time to open 1 or 2 pages). As the sites open during this time, I think my device gets detected properly but somehow fails to keep the connection longer.
Below is the output from dmesg

I tried NetworkManager(with KDE GUI front-end) at first. As I got the same error, I tried wicd(with KDE GUI front-end) and I am still getting the same error. Can somebody help me with this?. Please let me know if you need any information. Thanks in advance
Last edited by anotherarchguy (2013-11-16 18:28:36)Sorry guys that I did not clearly document the steps clearly in my desperation to get the WiFi working.
I'll try recalling and list here what I did. All steps below are based on what I found on the web, googling the problem plus cfr's suggestion.
1) Spotted this problem first, when I tried connecting using Network Manager(KDE front-end). Thought wicd might solve the problem and installed it, but didn't work.
2) Googled, some had suggested that this problem was related to IPv6. Disabled it, still didn't work. [I just changed the config file with ipv6_disabled=1, didn't touch/restart any services at this step]
3) Googled some more, some suggested that this problem was related to power save mode of the wirless interface. Switched it off, didn't work [I think my hardware doesn't support this mode anyways as I get an "Operation not permitted" when I try to turn it on, but not off ]
4) Some had suggested to kill wpa_supplicant. But this didn't work either as it got spawned automatically every time I killed it with kill -9[Might have been due to NetworkManager]
5) Asked this forum, uninstalled NetworkManager & wicd, disabled netctl & dhcpd, tried the manual method to connect WiFi. This time, it worked.
@doak:
I did not change the config for wpa_supplicant and I don't think I ever saw two wpa_supplicant instances running. So this might have been a different problem for you, I think.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
