Wifi card not detected with ifconfig (solved)

Hello,
I'm not sure wether I should post this here or not...
However, I'm using a Realtek Wifi card RTL8188CE on my laptop and I couldn't succeed in using it. (I'm using Arch x64, it's up-to-date).
I tried using ndiswrapper, but even when the ndiswrapper module is loaded and the driver properly created from the ".inf" file, ifconfig -a still doesn't display anything else than the usual "eth0" and "lo".
Here are the information I think are useful, please tell me if I forgot anything.

Hello,
I finally solved my problem. It turns out my driver existed on the AUR and all I had to do is load the corresponding module with modprobe.
Some useful links :

    I am having a issue with my Mac Book Pro 15" purchased June 2009. I have upgraded to Lion when it was released. Everything was working perferctly fine. During last few days sometime it shows 'No hardware found" for wifi. After 2-3 times restart the wi-fi comes back. Sometime the it also gets hang. I think this is happening after 10.7.1 upgrade. I have not yet taken to Apple Store for support. If anyone having similar problem and if they have resolved, please post your findings. Thanks,

  • Wifi card not connected after kernel update [solved]

    Hi,
    I've got a broadcom wifi card (BCM43225). Having deconnections with the brcmsmac driver, I changed for wl (from broadcom archive).
    Today I updated the system and got the b43 driver. My wifi card would'nt see any network. On the networkmanager applet (gnome 3), tab "network parameters", it says "disconnected" and i can't find a way of reconnect my card.
    I rebuilt the wl driver, it works as for the b43 (wifi card on) but still it's disconnected.
    Extract of dmesg shows:
    ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
    Any idea ?
    Thanks

    It's weird: I had already installed b43 firmware from AUR but it didn't work (kernel 3.0). As I yaourted b43-firmware it said: "reinstall ?".
    So I reinstalled and it f***ing works.
    I'm not sure I got what happened...
    Thank you though.

  • PCMCIA Realtek Ethernet card not detected

    Hi, I'm trying to use a PCMCIA Etherner Card with Realtek chip.
    If the card it's already plugged when booting, Udev takes 180000 ms to finish and the card doesn't work. If it's plugged while booted, dmesg shows that there's a "something" at SmartCardBus but, again, card doesn't get recognized.
    "Ifconfig -a" shows nothing, and I know the card works 'cause I've tryed with an Ubuntu cd and the cards works perfect. I've looked for the modules, and 8139too & 8139cp where loaded, wich I've tryed in arch and still doesn't work, It also detects the same hardware with lspci (Arch detects the Cardbus but not the realtek card, Ubuntu detects both) and lspcmcia.
    Ubuntu is using kernel 2.6.27-7 and Arch 2.6.28.

  • WiFi Adapter not detected on T530

    Hi there, I just purchased a refurb T530 form the Lenovo outlet and have had enormous problems with the Wifi Adapter. Machine: T530 Win 64 Pro Wifi card Realtek I know there have been many similar discussions of this issue in the past, so I can start by eliminating certain possibilities based on previous posts.
    1. The plug-in Ethernet functions fine.
    2. Toggle power switch has been tried, as well as FN+F5, which generates a message about no supported wireless adapters being found.
    3 WiFi card does not show up in the Device Manager (DM). There are no errors for other hardware components listed in the DM.
    4. WiFi does not show up in the BIOS.
    5. Lenovo support sent me a replacement WiFi card, but an Intel model, which immediately generated an error message upon bootup about a non-compatible PCI card. I reinstalled the original Realtek card and still cannot see it in the DM or BIOS.
    6. Have tried loading and unloading various drivers with respect to both the WiFi card as well as power management and hotkey features.
    This is brand new machine, and hence will go back to Lenovo under warranty service, but I would much prefer to handle this without the shipping hassle back-and-forth, plus I would like to understand the underlying issue to prevent its recurrence (especially if it's software based and not simply a defective chip). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If adapter isn't broken, fitted to the slot preperly and turned on it should be recognised by system on the pci-e bus and seen in the Device Manager at least as Unknown device.
    To ensue that open powershell window and copy-past (via right click menu) the following string:
    Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.ConfigManagerErrorCode -ne 0} | Select Name, DeviceID
    If adapter is recognised but doesn't have drivers installed, you'll see its description.
    Or you can check wireless adapter by its description context:
    Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.Name –Match “DeviceName”} | Select Name, DeviceID
    Replace "DeviceName" in the string above with "Raltek", "Wireless", "Adapter" etc. (keep the quotes)

  • Graphics Card not detected.

    I bought my laptop two days back. Its the new HP Pavillion dv6 laptop. I have a 2gb AMD Radeon 6770m graphics card installed. But my games do not detect it. Even when i right click on the catalyst center icon on the taskbar i have a tab called Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics where i can change the setting for intel HD Graphics which come with the new intel cores. No where in the computer was i able to change the active graphics card.

    You have to set the game to high performance in the ccc
    for start the 6770 will not run opengl games or apps on any dv6 or dv7 61xx

  • SD Card not detected

    Against my better judgment opted for a HP Omni Tab 10 instead of ipad mini. After using  the tab for a month the touchscreen stopped working. I reseted the tab thinking it would solve the problem. The touchscreen started working (though I lost a buch of important documents), but again after a week it stopped responding. I again reseted the tab. However this time the problem was not solved. So I approached online HP support to get the problem rectified. The online support team kept me online for almost 2 hours and was trying to install drivers through remote support. They were unsuccessful in fixing the same. About 2 days later they asked me to visit a customer care center. The customer care center address given to me by online support staff was wrong and I was redirected to another customer center (which was in the most congested and traffic infested place in Mumbai). The customer care representative said that he would have to replace the touchscreen and that it was not in stock. After 10 days I recieved a call stating that the tab was ready. On reaching the customer care office the tab refused to start. At that moment the representative realised that he had not connected the "on" switch. Upon realisation he promptly opened the device again and connected the on switch. The device started and touchscreen was working properly. A day later when I sat down with my tab i realised the recovery drive sd card was missing. I inserted another card with media which was not detected. Even after inserting 2 different media cards it was not detected. I checked under device properties to confirm if the device had malfunctioned. Under hidden devices it showed that the particular device was unplugged.
    It is really disheartening to spend almost a months salary on a device which does not have a shell life of even a year.
    Furthermore it is not expected from a company like HP to bring to market such cheaply designed products.
    If it had been a company like apple or sony for that matter the device would have been promptly replaced.
    I would desist anyone from buying HP products ever again.
    Do not buy the HP Omni tab 10!

  • Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

    Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

    Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

  • Wifi card not recognized after reboot.

    I've got a Lenovo X140e and an Intel wifi card. (Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260) that I installed myself, since the support for the Broadcom card it came with was spotty.
    If I reboot my laptop, the card won't show up with either iwconfig or even lspci. If I do a cold reboot (power down entirely and start back up), it will show up just fine.
    What gives?
    Relevant lspci output:
    01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 4b)

            Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
            Kernel modules: iwlwifi

    When the card is recognized, rfkill lists it as unblocked; when it's not recognized, it doesn't show up at all.
    I've got i3 installed; for connection management I've been sort of trying different things - netctl never works but wifi-menu has been pretty reliable. I haven't installed any special power management stuff at all - I'm not really sure how to find out what was auto-installed?

  • Wifi card not working properly

    I purchased an hp Envy in October 2014. The wifi card no longer functions properly.  Connections are intermittent or so slow they don't function.  Is this defect covered by warranty?  The wifi card is Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11
    As long as I'm hard wired, I have no internet connection issues. But dysfunctional wifi limits mobility and eliminates one of the primary features that I relied on in making the purchase choice.  What is the solution?

  • USB devices not detected in VMware [SOLVED; Using Virtualbox instead]

    I am running Arch as a host and XP on VMWare workstation 7.  My primary purpose of installing XP on VMWare was to use my edit my Line6  POD (behaves as a usb sound card) and get my USB TV Tuner box to work. The big problem that I am facing is that VMWare is not detecting any USB device (not even my USB Hard Drive).
    I have the usb controller installed.
    Any suggestions?

    I don't know vmware but with other virtual machines there is often a configuration option whether usb drives should be automatically mounted or not. Sometimes automounting also only works if the vm has the focus, i.e. is the active window.
