Struggling to Install network interface for wireless Broadcom BCM43228

Hi All,
I just spent the last hour trying to get my wireless card working but am having no luck.
I have installed the broadcom-wl driver and have loaded that into the kernel.
After I did that I can now see a new device when I run the command "ip link"
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 28:d2:44:25:0e:9f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 24:fd:52:ce:d2:64 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I am assuming that 3. wlp4s0 is my wireless card, and I enabled it by running "ip link set wlp4s0 up".
Unfortunately I get lost as to what to do from here to connecting to wireless network.
Here is a link to my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/Wz0zCjar
and then also lspci detailing the adapter http://pastebin.com/TinZpcXU
Thanks,
Hayden.

Give this article a read. It'll explain the various (manual and automatic) methods for setting up your wireless connectivity.

Silly issue: Unable to install network drivers for Win2008r2 or Win2012r2

It must be because it's Friday evening and I'm just lucky like that but for some reason I'm not able to install the network drivers for my Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2012 R2 installs in B200-M3 servers.
I've mounted the Cisco driver ISO (ucs-bxxx-drivers.2.1.3.iso) and in each OS I've gone to Device Manager, then had to View -> Hidden Devices to show the Network Adaptors, then tried to have it install drivers from the ISO but no luck. I did go to the correct subfolder Windows -> Network -> Cisco -> etc. and even tried just having it search the whole CD, searching subfolders. It either says no drivers found, or--for Windows 2012-- it says that Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date.
I've got to be missing something obvious. Any help would be most appreciated!

Hi Benjamin
We have done this many times; which UCS version are you using ?
Check
Interop Matrix http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/interoperability/matrix/r_hcl_B_rel2-21.pdf
and Installation Guide
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/os-install-guides/windows/b_B-Series_Windows_Install.pdf
Please use
ISO image of UCS-related drivers Release Date 12-DEC-2013
ucs-bxxx-drivers.2.2.1.iso
Normally you are asked during the Windows installation if you would like to install additional drivers; say yes, unmap the install iso, map the above driver iso, install fnic and enic driver; then unmap driver iso, map Windows install iso; do a refresh.
Good luck

USB network dongle for wireless networking

Hi all
Just a quickie, I've just bought a mini, not wireless, thought I'd put an extreme card in it, but it's not to be, the wireless option is a rip off in the UK as a retrofit.
Has anyone managed to use a USB network wireless dongle?
I have seen a couple for sale on ebay, but I'm not sure about drivers etc?
tia
wilse

Hi wilse,
Few things that you might like to consider from my personal experience;
First, I guess, is if you can afford an airport card then its definately the best option without any shadow of a doubt (even if you fit it yourself - The Airport i user installable on virtually everything else and is very straight forward), I have a 12in iBook G4 (800) which i got Airport extreme for and it's constantly reliable and always fast.
Second, if you plump for the USB option I run a D-link Dwl-122 wireless adapter sticking out of my Powermac G4 450x2 which has been notorious for its poor driver support in the past but with the latest driver (From MacUpdate: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15997) I have no problems running it through the front pannel USB2 slots from a PCI card (i only say this as these are also notoriously difficult in old G4s but they're now happy together). I get a good reception on this card from 3 storeys away in a very high ceilinged Georgian house.
Thirdly, my mum also runs one the same USB wireless adapters on an iMac (flat panel USB1.1 from sometime in 2003) with the no problems with the driver above. The Dwl-122 is only wireless .b though so can only get connected at up to 11mps.
Fourthly (?), if i could put Airport Extreme cards in both of those Macs i would at whatever cost because its still annoying having bits stinking out in my opinion even if you are lucky enough to get a USB adapter with no conflics with your system setup (unfortunately nether are compatable with the AEX and Airport cards now go for upwards of £70 on ebay!!)
I hope all that helped somehow, as you can probably see i've spent many an hour battling with third party drivers for external devices, well done for having the foresight to ask first!!! I wish i had!
Anyway good luck with your decision and i hope you get a few more posts here before you make up your mind...

Macbook Pro not detecting USB network interface for iPhone 4S

Hi all.
I have an iPhone4S and my service provider is Vodafone India. I was able to share my internet 3G connection (Personal Hotspot) via USB with my Macbook Pro until recently. I am running Lion. I am not able to do so anymore for some inexplicable reason. It still works fine with Wifi and Bluetooth, but no Internet via USB. I tried deleting the networkinterfaces.plist as someone suggested but no luck.
Am at my wits end. I am sure its not the Phone and I am sure the USB ports are ok since I can connect via USB stick dongle modems from 2 different service providers. But they are bboth dial up types.
Just the iPhone does nbot seem to work since it is supposed to connect automatically.
Help please....anybody...
Thanks a ton for any feedback in advance.

Detect network encryption for wireless networks and netctl scan

Running iwlist scanning works and detect available networks, but I can't see where it says what is the encryption (wpa, wep, etc.) used. It only shows Encryption key:on. Maybe I am missing something?
Also, can netctl show available networks? Or do I have to run iwlist scanning?

What you quote from the guide implies that you know the authentication in order to setup the profile. It is wifi-menu that helps you with it.
Gradient wrote:Running iwlist scanning works and detect available networks, but I can't see where it says what is the encryption (wpa, wep, etc.) used. It only shows Encryption key:on. Maybe I am missing something?
Nonetheless, you should be missing something, yes:
#sudo iwlist wlp2s0 scanning |grep IEEE
IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
If it does not work, try the "iw dev wlan0 scan ".

Set speed limit to network interface

Hi
I want build a program to set limit speed to my network interface
for example max download speed for wlan connection 10Kb
how must edit network interface for this work
i searched but can't found anything
thanks

Why would you want to do this?
It sounds quite suspicious to me.
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.
i want save my monthly traffic
That doesn't make much sense. How will limiting the network speed do that?
If you limit the network speed to 20% of what it was then it will just take 5 times longer (more really due to the amount of overhead in data packets) in order to upload or download anything.
If you are on a plan which limits the amount of data via the plans network which can be uploaded and or downloaded during the plans payment time period then perhaps you should monitor the data transceived over the link during that time period.
Then write an app that turns off a NIC and will monitor the NIC so if it is enabled it is turned off again whenever some daily allowance of bandwidth is exceeded. Or perhaps write a service for that. Of course the app or service would need to know the pay
period to monitor, the amount of bandwidth provided for the pay period, constantly store bandwidth used (either sent, received or both) while the NIC is up and be designed to know for each day when to disable the NIC if necessary. And allow the NIC to be re-enabled
or re-enable the NIC when some time occurs following the previous disable of a NIC.
However you don't provide what the requirement would be other than you just want to limit bandwidth via some NIC. Which really means nothing unless multiple PC's are vying for bandwidth and you want on specific PC to be allocated more bandwidth than
any other PC or something.
Group Policy Editor has a setting that can apparently
limit reserveable bandwidth. I don't know if setting that to %95 would only provide applications %5 of the available bandwidth. I've installed GPE on my Win 7 Home Premium PC which it does not come
with and I had to find an installer from an untrusted source in order to do that.
Recently I had a friend using a Verizon WIFI device which provides local WIFI for PC's via Verizons cell service I suppose. Apparently if the PC was left on and nobody was using it then bandwidth was used. I believe in about one 6 hour time period over %15
of the entire pay periods bandwidth allowance was used when his girlfriend let the PC on unattended. So I could see where some type of monitor app would be nice for a situation like that.
When you use few words to describe anything the result is everybody having to guess. And with regard to what you think you want to do it makes the entire thread a guess.
La vida loca

[SOLVED] What is the equivalent of Ubuntu's /etc/network/interfaces...

Hi all
I've on one of my machines a Sis900 Network Adapter, and with Ubuntu installed on that pc, i had to insert the line
hwaddress ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
in the file /etc/network/interfaces for allowing the system to see the eth0 in the ifconfig list, and so enabling the network too.
I'm now trying to install Arch on that PC (or better, on a pc with that motherboard where that adapter is mounted), and now I've got the same problem. I'm pretty sure i can fix that like I've done in Ubuntu, but i wonder where i can write that setting.. maybe in /etc/conf.d/bonding ? can you confirm this or give me an hint somehow? thanks in advance
edit
i managed to set the hwaddress with ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01 and now the network is operational. Now I'm looking for making this effective at every reboot...

Or if you want something more advanced;

i managed to set the hwaddress with ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01 and now the network is operational. Now I'm looking for making this effective at every reboot.
Put that in /etc/rc.local
Edit; you might try putting it at the end of /etc/rc.conf, since it is a script really (as well as a configuration file), and also since rc.local is executed *after* all the daemons are executed. I figure you have to have that command run before the "networking" daemon is run?

Missing Network Interface

Trying to find the hardware address (MAC address) of ALL my network interfaces. When running on my Acer laptop which has a wired connection (but not plugged in) and a wireless connection (enabled and connected), the network interface for the wired connection does NOT appear. It will appear if I then connect it...so is this intentional or a bug?
The code is simple enough:
Console console = System.console();
    Enumeration<NetworkInterface> networkInterfaces = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
    for( NetworkInterface networkInterface : Collections.list( networkInterfaces ) )
        byte[] hardwareAddress = networkInterface.getHardwareAddress();
        console.printf( "Hardware address: " );
        for( int i = 0; hardwareAddress != null && i < hardwareAddress.length; i++ )
            console.printf( "%02X%s", hardwareAddress[ i ], ( i < hardwareAddress.length - 1 ) ? "-" : "" );
        console.printf( "%n" );
    }Am running on Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-16-generic) using the Sun JVM 1.6.0_15.
Can anyone else confirm this...perhaps on Windows?
Thanks,

Network Interface selection

Hello,
I'd like to use specific network interfaces for different applications. For example using always wi-fi for skype, only one browser on a specified VPN and so on...
I thought to do it using ipfw, but it seems it is not possible to set rules on the base of process ID.
Is there any tool allowing to do such a thing? Any other suggestion would be well accepted!
Thanks in advance

I am not aware of any tool that can accomplish exactly what you ask. The command line tool "route" can setup protocol-based routes. You could have skype go to one interface and http go through another. But I don't know of any way to make it application-specific.

I have an IMAC that runs OS 10.6.7. I use Netgear for wireless. My computer keeps losing the network, so I can't use wireless.

I have an IMAC that runs OX 10.6.7. I use NEtgear for wireless. I have a laptop and Ipod that I use on the wireless. Recently, my desktop computer shows that it is searching for the wireless system (on the router). I contacted Netgear. They talked me into buying another router and their technical contract. Nothing is working. I can plug my 5200 modem directly up to my desktop , and the network is fine, but the wireless, of course, is not plugged in. When I go to connect the wireless, it doesn't work. This is not a computer program per se, nor is it a router program because sometimes it will work. It seems to me that the computer and router are not working together to hold the settings.
I have attempted to download the latest software for my computer, i.e., Imac graphics fireware. Each time I try, it says that the extensions are not valid for my computer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Vicki

Imac graphics fireware.
Did you mean to say firmware? You should only install firmware updates when offered to you via Software Update; other than that, whatever is offered is not appropriate for your model.
As for your Netgear router - I have a Netgear and set it up manually on their web interface setup site (the address should be in your manual). Did you call your ISP so they will recognize that there is a router involved? Sometimes my iMac also does not want to communicate with the router; however, my Macbook and printer have no problem. I solved the problem by connecting things this way:
cable from wall to modem > cable from modem to router > cable from router to iMac. The other things are wireless.

Best Network Settings for mostly wireless, sometimes wired?

Folks:
My household --4 desktops Macs, 2 MacBooks, all running 10.4.x or 10.5.x-- lives by using DSL via a Netopia router controlling a LAN, with Cat 5 strung to six desks. No problem there, everything works. Note: for historical reasons --because, mostly, I forget what they were-- all desktops have static IP addresses.
But sometimes one of us wants to work in the house on a MacBook where there is no Cat 5 strung, that is, wirelessly. It's simple enough to set up a wireless server on one of the Airport-equipped desktops and make certain it stays awake.
That works, too, as long as each MacBook is configured with separate Network Preference "Locations" -- one for "Wired" and one for "Wireless", and the wireless configuration is IPv4 using DHCP with IPv6 disabled. Specifically, this requires the user to switch the Location when he/she connects or disconnects a Cat 5 cable.
My questions:
1. Is there a way of configuring the MacBooks so they will work without the requirement switching the Location when removing or connecting a LAN cable?
2. Can this configuration also accommodate what is needed for typical hotspots out there in "the outside world", as in coffee-shops, etc, again without switching the Network Preference Location?
3. Bonus Questions: Would this problem be easier if I modified the wired system configuration to use DHCP instead of fixed IPs? By the way, the Netopia Router will assign addresses in the 192.168.0 to 192.168.15 range, no others.
4. Double Bonus Questions: What are the responses to the above questions, if instead of serving the wireless from one of the desktops, we added a wired/wireless router, say, a D-LINK WBR1310B1 to the LAN? Yes, it's true, we have already tried that. (Our teenager bought and installed it without my...help.) It worked for a while, something unknown changed, and now wiring up the D-LINK brings down the entire LAN. In other words, what are the "issues" of running wired AND wirelessly, and using Airport remotes with a foreign (non-Apple) wireless router?
TIA,
Henry

1. Is there a way of configuring the MacBooks so they will work without the requirement switching the Location when removing or connecting a LAN cable?
Yes, but it's a little freaky (in other words, using the Location menu is the better solution).
To do what you want you need to setup the wireless network on the desktop using a different subnet (e.g. 10.1.x.x) and enable internet sharing (System Preferences -> Sharing).
Then connect the MacBook to the wireless network and make sure it's set for DHCP (the desktop Mac will act as a DHCP server for the wireless network).
Now the kicker is to use MacBook's System Preferences -> Network -> Set Service Order to make sure the ethernet interface is above the AirPort interface. Now the MacBook will use the ethernet interface if it's there and fall back to the AirPort if the ethernet is down.
2. Can this configuration also accommodate what is needed for typical hotspots out there in "the outside world", as in coffee-shops, etc, again without switching the Network Preference Location?
Yes. Most hot-spots will require the use of DHCP on the client, which is the same as how it's set above.
3. Bonus Questions: Would this problem be easier if I modified the wired system configuration to use DHCP instead of fixed IPs?
Yes, but not significantly enough to worry about.
What are the responses to the above questions, if instead of serving the wireless from one of the desktops, we added a wired/wireless router, say, a D-LINK WBR1310B1 to the LAN?
The setup on the client would be the same - the main point is in setting the interface preferences so that the wired ethernet has precedence.
However, a dedicated base station will offer other advantages such as WPA encryption (the Mac-based base station only offers the weaker WEP), and no requirement to leave the desktop Mac running.
From a 'which base station' standpoint, the Apple base stations would be easier to run in an all-Mac environment, but most of the major brands now use web-based interfaces which make them reasonably easy to manage from a Mac. The issue with your D-Link is almost certainly one of misconfiguration rather than incompatibility, but without knowing how it was setup it's hard to advise further.

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are XP,Vista & 7.
Thanks

Unplug the USB cable from the printer. Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
