Wireless card BCM4313 no connection at boot

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dv6 with a Broadcom BCM4313 wireless card. I use NETCFG and before the last kernel upgrade I was able to connect to my home wireless connection at boot without troubles. Now I have to do it manually and I need to try 2 or 3 times to see my connection active.

You could see that first I get the connection and then I lost it... for 2 or 3 times, then I could connect without problems.

I've tried to use the wl driver but it doesn't seems to work properly.
Could anyone help me please?
Thank you,

Hmm it seems your card now takes longer to connect, the 'deauthenticating by local choice' often means that the default timeout is reached and netcfg disconnects. You can try adding a specific timeout parameter to your netcfg profile:
TIMEOUT=60
That doesn't explain why it takes longer to connect than before, but at least you should be able to connect in 1 try again.
Hi,
thank you for your time!
I'v tried adding the timeout line to my profile but it doesn't change nothing
I could connect at 3rd try.
Any other idea?

Wireless card could not connect after mother replacement

Hi,
I just replace my lenovo T430i motherboard, everything working except Wireless card could not connect to wirelesss network. I take to the shop they replace new wireless card, but it still appear the same problem. Is there anyone having the same problem.
Best Regards,
Bunheng Mom

Hello bunheng,
If you could please boot into BIOS at start-up. On the main page this should show you your system-unit serial number, and the system board serial number. Could you check and make sure both of these fields are occupied.
One step at a time.
Hope this helps,

Intel pro wireless card can not connect

Since some weeks, i can not use my wireless network, it does not associate the access point.
The cared is a intel pro, using the agn driver.
I can not connect to my wep key protected home network, or public, unprotected accesspoints.
I tried various parameters with iwconfig, without success, so I assume the kernel module is broken.
Any help would be appreciated.

Rather than blaming devs for putting out faulty software, if I were you I'd look at myself - the PEBKAC problem . So an upgrade broke it. When was this? What packages where upgraded? Check your pacman log (yes, it exists).
You are aware the module name for Intel's wireless cards changed? Instead of referring to the card model it's now iwlcore and iwlagn. But then again, if you let udev figure it out, there shouldn't be the slightest problem in that upgrade.
Care to share any of your cherished errors? Without them there's not much we can do. The BBS has been out of crystal bowls for a long time.
Dear mr. B, I do not blame anybody anything. I report, as is, it does not work. On my system, in the hope that someone have something meaningful to say, not because I hoped for you to call me names. I do not know what your acronym means, and I do not wish to find out, since it appearently is there to make me less. I do not care for that.
The kernel modules that are loaded on my system, and was back when I had working wifi support, are iwlcore and iwlagn. I do not know that the iwlwifi-4965-ucode package is used for anything, I installed it because the before-mentioned wiki page recommends that, and I did get working support. I do not try to configure it by hand, I trust udev/hal/whatever is there to handle the hardware.
But, sorry for repeating, since some time, I can not connect to an access point. No matter if I try cli commands or use wicd or networkmanager applets. The result appears to be the same, there is no error from iwconfig, which does not succeed.
I can't even remember the date it went wrong, but i know that the kernel was updated as a part of that particular update. rolling back the kernel did not help though.

Wireless *intermittently* fails to connect upon boot

Hi folks,
First post! After a few days of grinding away, I've got my first Arch Linux installation up and running alongside a Windows 7 partition. As a relatively inexperienced Linux user, it's been challenging at times, but I'm very happy with the new setup and I've resolved most problems encountered thus far.
However, I've run into an irksome problem that I haven't yet been able to solve:
Most of the time when I boot into Arch Linux, my wireless connection starts automatically via netctl. I can open up Chromium and browse straight away.
However, perhaps every 2-3 boots, I start an Arch Linux session where I find that my wireless has not connected. I'll open up Chromium and receive errors, then I'll open up a terminal and find that 'iwconfig' isn't showing any active wireless connection.
I've done my share of Googling on this, and browsed the Arch wiki to try and find an answer, but many of the solutions that I have found relate to the problem of a wireless connection refusing to connect at all. This doesn't apply to my case, so I thought I'd put this out to the panel of resident experts here!
Here's my iwconfig when I boot into a 'good' session with working wireless:
eno1 no wireless extensions.

Here's my iwconfig when I boot into a 'bad' session with no wireless:
eno1 no wireless extensions.
wlp4s0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
lo no wireless extensions.
Other relevant info:
- I have recently migrated to netctl from netcfg, as instructed in the Arch wiki. I was hoping that this would resolve my problem, as the exact same issue previously occurred for me on netcfg. Unfortunately, the problem remains intact.
- I see no such issues on my Windows 7 partition (the wireless connection always works upon boot), so it would appear that hardware issues can be ruled out.
- When wireless fails to start upon boot, I can still connect by entering 'sudo wifi-menu wlp4s0' and specifying the desired connection manually. So I don't have to reboot to get my connection working, but nonetheless, this is a nuisance.
I'm not sure what other data (logs etc.) might be useful in diagnosing this issue, but I'd be grateful for any pointers.
Thanks in advance for any assistance or newbie-bashing rendered!

Thanks for the suggestion Aton. I reproduced the problem, and then sifted through journalctl to see what I could find.
I dug up the following lines of interest:

I have no idea what to make of this, but it's good to get some new information.
I'm going to Google around a bit with some of these error messages. In the meantime, I open the floor to suggestions if anyone discerns anything obvious in the output above...

New WIFI card will NOT connect correctly.

Hi,
I just purchased a Gigafast WF748-CUI wireless card for my iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.10) and I followed the instructions exactly and did everything right but it will NOT connect. It keeps generating these weird IP addresses beginning with 168. but my networks IP address begins with 192. I had the same problem with my previous WIFI card on the iMac but it would work eventually. I have been messing with this one for like 2 hours and it has shown no sign of working. I even entered a manual IP address in but still nothing. The program for the wireless card says its connected but it is not (or isnt connected to the right IP anyway). What do I do?

Sooo, there's no way the CP has to "Join" a Network? Just says you're connected to 169.x.x.x?
Might try making a New Location in Network CP, turn off all other Ports, the set the IPv4 settings to Manually...
IP: 192.168.0.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
Assuming the Router is 192.168.0.1, but change the 2nd & 3rd digits accorcdingly.

Belkin pre n to belkin wireless card bridged to nic to router to emac

Ok, so I have a wireless router (Belkin Pre N) getting it's signal from a comcast modem. One other port is hardwired into my upstairs neighbors computer (PC running windows xp pro SP 2). That computer is generally off.
My set up is an old PC (running win xp pro SP2, 500mhz, 184MB Ram, AMD-K6) which has a belkin wireless G desktop network card with a compaq nic card. I use the network connections window to bridge these two together on the PC. The nic on the PC goes to a "network everywhere" 4 port cable/dsl router (with the firmware updated). The ethernet cable goes from the PC's nic into the 3rd port of the router and the other ethernet cable on port 2 goes into my emacs ethernet port.
Now, I can maintain some connectivity in this manner for my emac. The problem is that I have to leave the network prefs window open to click the "renew DHCP lease" button every 5-10 minutes because I am just suddenly not connected to the network. The odd thing is when I refresh the ip nothing changes. I just get my connectivity back...
Worse, ultimately, I'd say every 4 or so hours, suddenly my PC loses it's wireless connection and stops seeing any neighboring wireless connections (there is many, I live in Chicago) and the bridge suddenly starts getting it's ip from the router between my pc and mac instead of from the wireless card that was connecting to the upstairs belkin pre N. Essentially the network starts working in reverse!. I've tried using the network everywhere router as just a router or even setting it with a static ip with the dns and router configurations from the belkin pre N. I get awesome throughput but in 5-10 minutes it always degrades to nothing on the mac. It is to the point that I keep the network prefs window open on the mac and just periodically click "renew DHCP lease" basically the whole time I am using the internet or downloading something.
Now once the PC loses it's wireless connection I've found the only way to get it back to the way it was is to disable the nic, the bridge, then the wireless and then enable them in reverse order (wireless, bridge, and nic) and it goes back to working correctly... usually once going back to the mac and clicking "renew DHCP lease" I then have 1 more addition to the last number of my ip. Like 192.168.2.3 would then be 192.168.2.4 and so on this continues. The highest I got before reseting all including the router was .2.30
Does anyone know why this is or have a similar set up?

Easiest solution, get a wireless adapter for the eMac.
Sounds like you don't have ICS configured correctly, and it can do this when using a wireless to wired connection.

Wireless Card Auto-Connect

I have a question about the auto-connect feature for the wireless adaptor (built-in) in my laptop (HP Pavillion dv600t). When I start/boot the system the wireless card finds the router (Linksys WRT54GS) and automatically connects to it no problem. However if I shut off the wireless link via the switch on the laptop and then turn it on again later, (such as when I want to connect via the network card and cable to port 1 for better performance) it will not re-connect on it's own. The network/router is visible on the available network list and it is set to auto but even when I select it and hit "connect" it never does. I need to use the windows "repair link" feature to correct it, after which it works fine again. (unless someone turns the switch off again). Is this normal or is there some setting I'm missing that I need to tweak?
Thank you...

well...there is no setting on the router as such for the kind of issue you are facing with....it could be possibly the adapter itself...try updating the drivers for it...

Connecting a PC with an external wireless card

I have an iMac and am connected wirelessly to the Internet through the Airport Extreme. My roommate has a new Dell Laptop with Windows XP and has been connected through ethernet to the base station. She just recently purchased an external wireless card, and we can't seem to get her connected wirelessly. When searching for available networks to join on her computer, it recognizes my network and says that it has an excellent signal, but when we type in the WEP, it doesn't do anything. It does not give us an error, and it does not connect. Any idea what we are doing wrong and what we can do to fix it?

I still can't figure it out. I unchecked the option that says "enable encryption (using WEP)" and she was immediately connected. I don't think I have a huge problem leaving the network up without a password, I'm in a small residential area. Does that just mean that neighbors would be able to connect? How far does the signal generally travel? And is there any way to see the IP addresses of people connected to this specific network?

How do I connect my laptop to my Linksys wireless router through the internal wireless card?

I just purchased a gateway laptop and was trying to hook my Linksys wireless router up to it. Ive gotten it hooked up but only through the secondary device (that catches the signal)... I was wondering if there is anyway that I could make my internal wireless internet card a point or no? Can I only connect it to the USB network adapter or is there really a way to go COMPLETELY wireless? Thank you for your time...

Is your internal wireless card enabled? Go to device manager and make sure it is enabled.

Airport Wireless Card not connecting to ABS

I updated my ABS firmware a few weeks back when many people did and had issues with the update, no wireless connection. I rolled back to the previous ABS firmware version with no luck. I went thru several hard resets and go nothing. So I just went ahead and updated to the current ABS firmware version. I have no problem using the internet over the lan and other computers can connect wirelessly, but the wireless on the G4 Ti won't connect. It shows and error window. I thought the wireless card went dead, but it works just fine on other wireless networks. Any thoughts would be great.

ok i'm back again. so now i'm on to the internet but my connection is really weak, 1 bar. i talked to the guy who installed the wireless router and he said that its because the aerial is in the base and has to receive the signal through my desk. but he also said that he didn't know much about Mac's. so i'm not to sure he knows what he's talking about. is there any other reason why i'm getting a weak connection. i tried moving my mac around but that did not help.

T41 23739FU - wireless card connects to WEP, but not WPA

I have a T41 that has, according to Device Manager, a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI card. The system's product id is 23739FU. The problem I have is the system will not connect to a router using WPA encryption, but will connect to an open network or one using WEP encryption. Is this card only capable of connecting to WEP or an open network? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum!
Your T41 has a non-genuine wireless card, and a rare one at that.
Spend $10 or thereabouts on an Intel 2200BG and you'll be able to use WPA encryption with no issues.
Cheers,

Attempting to connect daughter's laptop with a Neatgear wireless card

I am trying to connect my daughter's laptop to my network. I have downloaded Network Magic, etc. Is there an easy step-by step tutorial or checklist I can access to connect her to my router? Network Magic is telling me that I have other network connection software and it has to be disabled before continuing (**bleep**?). I am being driven mad. Just need to have a step by step list to get it connected. If necessary, I can delete everything (Network Magic, etc,. and the like) and start fresh if that is necessary. Any experts available to help? Thanks in advance,
Forgot to mention that she is using a Netgear MA 401 wireless card. Router is the WRG54S Version 7.

Which operating system you are using on the computer...?
Are you able to connect other wireless computer to your network..?
First of all make sure that your adapter is installed properly on the wireless computer..Go to the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar from the wired computer and change the wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz.Change the SSID (network name) to some unique name(not linksys)...Confirm the Network/Security key.Now,locate and try to connect the wireless network on the wireless computer.

LinkSys Wireless Card connects to "Access Point" but no internet connection

I have 2 LinkSys wireless cards. one is 802.11g, the other b. The signal for the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station is very strong, but when I try to connect, it says "You are connected to the access point, but the Internet cannot be found". No internet access, and I can't ping anything (Ping request could not find host...). And of course the printer hooked to the AirPort is also not recognized. My iMac and Macbook both have no problems connecting to the network. There is no problem with ethernet connection to the Airport. Is it possible to have a compatibility problem between the Linksys and Airport hardware? I thought as long as they were were compatible 802.11, they would work together. The cards had no problem with my old DLink router or other hotspots in the city. Is there a set-up I missed for setting up the PC-based cards with the AirPort?

Is your wireless network secured?
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

2 ) Intel Centrino Advanced N6200 AGN
above card are having issue with WPA2 enabled ssid connecitivity. strange is , the same users are getting connected to other wep enabled SSID but its not working for WPA2 SSID.
I have external ACS server which is used for radius authentication. Last time I had put same query in support forum did some workaround.
eq. disabling DHCP proxy option in WLC and moving all DHCP scope in external server.
After doing this workaround this mentioned users are still facing issue. I gone through some cisco document and some forums and came across that there is something to be done in " Session Timed Out " optionin WLC
which is default 1800 sec based on that I tried to capture debug outputs for mentioned above problematic clients and user who is working fine .
I gone through the same debug output and observed :

Connectivity Issues WRT54G router and 2915ABG Dell wireless card

My wife and I both have Dell Inspiron 600m laptops with nearly the same setup: XP Pro, 2915ABG wireless cards, and the wireless connection is controlled through ProSet Wireless. We have Comcast and connect to a WRT54G wireless router. The router has WPA enabled, MAC address filtering, and the latest Firmware.
I have no trouble connecting to or remaining connected to the router. Her machine connects to the wireless, but randomly loses connection (sometimes it's connected for hours and other times it losses connection in the first five minutes). When I watch the ProSet wireless event viewer, it only says "link down."
To attempt to fix this problem, I have:
played with the router's settings including changing channels
updated her drivers
allowed windows to control the wireless card
reset the router
updated the router's firmware
None of these actions have fixed the problem. The only real differences between the two machines is that I did the following to mine:
My machine was the one that initially set up the wireless router
I used the Comcast install CD on my machine (then deleted all the *junk* that was installed by the CD).
I would like to avoid using the Comcast install CD on her machine because no one needs the extra junk they install. I did set up her machine according to the internet on how to set up Comcast without the CD.
I am trying to figure out if the problem is with the router or with her hardware. Thank you,
Michael

Try upgrading the firmware on the router.
For information on upgrading the firmware on the linksys routers :

For information on wireless security :

Keep the channel on 11 and than give it a try !
