Wireless Lan with Centrino

Hi!
I'm new in here and i'm using AL for about 3 months now. I installed AL on my Acer Travelmate 661LCI with Intels Centrino Processor. Now i try to install my wireless lan, but it doesnt work!
Intel doesnt support linux, so i decide to use Linuxants Driverloader. But i dont get it work, anyone tried it before?
Sure, i always tried to install Sourceforges NDISwrapper, but it also dont work! The error is, that i have a kernel with SMP support, and i dont know what this mean?
Maybe someone can help me, i dont understand linux so much, that i can solve this problem myswelf! i'm working on this problem since i ve installed arch on my laptop, arg!

My T520 has the same issue. Seems there's a pernicious, hard-to-find kernel bug that leaves some machines unable to boot via their UEFI firmware. There's no real solution right now, just a few work-arounds:
- Boot in legacy (BIOS) mode---you'll need to install a BIOS bootloader (e.g. Syslinux) to do so
- Downgrade to a previous kernel version
- Build the kernel yourself. It'll give you an appreciation for just how weird this bug is, and why it's persisted for so long. I just discovered after this most recent update that I don't even need to build a custom kernel (although I choose to anyway); strangely, the system boots even if I just grab the ABS sources for the vanilla kernel and run "makepkg -i" without making any changes to the PKGBUILD or kernel config at all.
Stranger still, the linux-lts package was updated at the same time, with the same effect---it doesn't boot. This despite being a completely different version.
Thanks for the reply.
I should have mentioned this too. Actually, from past few kernel releases, I am building my own kernel(just vanilla as u mentioned) and using them. Earlier I used to downgrade. But now with the new 3.14 releases, the "own kernel build" option is not working as well for me. Compared to problem with the earlier kernels, the system directly reboots just as soon as I select the option in the boot menu.
I use Arch as my base system which I customized from past 6 months. Hope this issue is addressed soon.

Wireless Lan - Intel Centrino

Hi,
I have had the chance to browse through solaris-x86.org, and it seems like Sun is developing the Intel Centrino Lan (Intel Pro Wireless 2100) drivers for Solaris.
Being a straight foward Solaris user for almost 2 years, and that I'm getting a little out of touch with Linux - Only because I actually know how to use Solaris pretty well and can play with is easily - would anybody have any chance of knowing when the Solaris 9 or 10's driver of the Intel's Wireless Lan miniPCI would be available?
It would be awesome to have a driver for this on Solaris - which then would mean that i can always get rid of my Windows XP from my laptop - which i have for all my desktops...:p
Anyway, thanks for your help.
- Frank

Hi Frank,
You can find the driver at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/downloads/

Confguring 2 Wireless Lans with a 1231G?

I have a netgear wireless router attached to the internet. I am installing a LinkSys wireless router
in a building about 30ft away. I have 2 yagi type antennas and other hy-gain units. Can I configure the Aironet 1231G to Bridge these 2 segments and have access for everyone to the internet?
What would the software config of the 1231G look like?
Mike

You need an AirPort Extreme card. They're easy to install. Just remove the keyboard and plug it in. The following link is the installation instructions.

Adding 802.1x Wireless networks with a script

Hi,
We have some new wireless networks we've set up for students to use (I work in a University). The networks use 802.1x authentication, and WPA2-Enterprise encryption. Adding Macs with various versions of OSX isn't a big issue, but it's time-consuming. Users need to follow an instruction sheet, and the process is prone to errors.
I'm looking for a method to give users some sort of download to run, which can just add the SSID for our wireless LAN with the minimum of fuss. I've dug around and found various things, but I'm a little perplexed as to how best to go around it. I've seen things suggesting an AppleScript would be able to do it, but I'm no AppleScript export, so some sort of example would be nice.
Any pointers gratefully received.

did you find any resolution to this? our mba- mid 2013 deployment is having a very similar problem. We've gone through loads of troubleshooting and have yet to come to a resolution. all our mid 2012 mba's are working fine they're 10.7.5/10.8.4 mixed. console logs don't show much, i'll try the wireless diags tomorrow. our other 10.8.4 build appears fine on other models of machines. i've read posts about deleteing the adapters, deleting the system config plists and changing the mtu size, these steps do not work for us.
we don't have as high a failure rate with our deployment, but 25%-30% of our clients randomly drop connectivity and are unable to reconnect (fluttering wi-fi wave). when you slect the wifi symbol in the menu bar other wireless networks do not show, the 'looking for networks' fly wheel continues to spin. ocasionaly on login the yellow jelly bean will appear then disappear before finally timeing out without logging the user in (depsite having mobile accounts enabled). mostly the problem manifests itself when waking from sleep - the wifi symbol flutters endlessly without connecting. deleting the 8021x profile and readding it will reenable connectivity. we've tried new profiels, but to the same end. i know our certs and systems are fine because previous mac os x builds work fine as do our windows clients.
any input would be much appreciated.

CWWLSE-1030-K9 Cisco WLSE Wireless LAN Solution EE 2.13 with AP 1242

Dear all, my customer has CWWLSE-1030-K9 Cisco WLSE Wireless LAN Solution EE 2.13 with 12 AP1242 (a/b/g) Radio 802.11g in place. Now he will buy additional AP what type of AP can i use because AP 12xx is EOS.

Hello Dirk,
AP 1200 is EOS, and customers were encouraged to migrate to 1240 Series (which is also EOS now)
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-1200-series/eol_c51-506611.html
Therefore it is recommended to migrate to Cisco Aironet 1600 or Cisco Aironet 2600 Series.

Can cisco CAP2702i connect to Cisco3850 switch with wireless LAN controller license via another switch ?

If i connect cisco AP - CAP2702i to another switch, and use trunk port between Cisco3850 and the other switch , can the AP able to register with Cisco3850 with wireless LAN controller ? or the AP has to directly connect to Cisco3850 in order to register?

The AP and 3850 wireless management are in same Vlan( vlan202). The AP is new unit and did not join MC before.
What i did on 3850 :
input command - wireless management interface vlan 202
- ap cdp
- wireless mobility controller
Is there any config i miss out on 3850 and any config need to be set on AP ?
From Ap console output show me "could not discover WLC using dhcp ip". Is it due to AP dont have IP address? If AP register with WLC through layer 2 , i believe there is no related with IP.Correct me if i'm wrong.
Due to the 3850 is not a POE, the AP unable directly connect to 3850 . I guess have to use power adapter to power on the AP.

I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought iPad (today). What hardware do I need to set up wireless LAN so iPad can be used anywhere in house? Will Linksys work with Apple?

I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought an iPad2 and need to know what hardware do I need to add wireless LAN so I can use iPad anywhere in the house. Will a Linksys router work with Apple? Can Mac be "hardwired" and iPad wireless? Probably stupid questions but I need to learn. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. You are correct. I was speaking in general terms here based on my experience with the two devices in day to day use, and not in terms of exact specifications.
A better choice would have been to say that the "coverage" is about the same with the edge going to the Extreme....due to the newer mutliple antenna design.
We sure could use more help on the forums. Hope that you will become a regular.
Hi Bob
RF is a minefield, but one that I have worked in for ages, the most critical factor in my experience is location, location, location!
Better routers have more intelligently designed antenna systems, output power as I said is the same, radiation pattern (coverage) is dependent on antennas and physical location more than all other factors.

Integrate Wireless LAN Controller with Windows IAS

I would like to have internal users authenticate to Wireless LAN Controller Module using Windows IAS server. What option are there for me to present to users? Do they get a separate domain username/password box? Can it pass thru their existing domain login credentials if they already logged into Windows domain? Does any additional client/laptop software need to be installed?

What you should do is configure PEAP and use the IAS so users can authenticate with their AD credentials.
This should help you:

Wireless Lan connection issue with Linux clients

Hi
In a large Wireless Lan enviroment for a university, we have 3 WISM moduls attached on a 6k hw - Manged by ACS v6.0.181.0
We recently upgraded the software version of the controllers from 4.x to 7.0.98.0 - the Emergency Image version is 5.2.157.0
Since then, the students with Linux clients have massive connection issue - repeated connection lost in a short time period.
However the students with Windows clients have no problem at all.
The studends report, that their linux clients getting so much of some kind of unnecessary broadcast traffic which can not be handled by the NIC - and the NIC goes down - and this happens all 5-10 minutes.
Affected Linux clients are: Ubuntu v10.10 - also OpenSuse, Fedora and Arch-linx with latest OS version.
Any Idea how I could solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Nicolas
Thanks for your reply. The broadcast forwarding is disabled on WLC's.
Pls find below the attached picture, which shows the captured broadcast traffic on a linux client (sent by a student to me).
I'm not sure, if its really only the broadcast traffic, which the linux clients can not handle.
From my point of view, it seems also to be that the linux clients are somehow disadvantaged among the other clients like windows or mac, if they all trying to get a wireless connection.
But the fact is only the linux clients are affected - and this happens to the linux clients only in our wireless infrastructure.
Windows or Mac clients have no such problem at all

I have an ipod and an iphone 3GS and a wireless LAN device, with my ipod I have a connection, but not with my iphone ... why is that?

I have an ipod and an iphone 3GS and a wireless LAN device, with my ipod I have a connection, but not with my iphone ... why is that?

- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

Elite pavilion m9510 & Atheros 802.11 wireless lan compatibility with win7

I am having great difficulty with the Atheros 802.11 wireless lan and win7; what can i do to resolve this issue? all uninstall/reinstalls of drivers and Windows 7 have been tried several times. The ironic part of this is that the wireless network was working fine until the Qualcomm atheros update and I could not restore to the date of that update, so I rebooted with win 7. I am considering buying a new wireless card but need to know what type to get.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion Elite m9510f Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model uses PCIe x1 802.11 Wireless a/b/g/n card. Many of these PCIe x1 802.11 b/g/n wireless adapters should do the trick as a replacement.
Please see the HP Pavilion Elite m9510f Desktop PC Drivers & Downloads page for HP provided drivers for original drivers for your wireless adapter. You can also provide the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" for the wireless adapter and we can search for drivers based on that information. Please see below for an example;

HP Officejet 6500, Windows XP and 7, wireless LAN security code is not accepted

The security code of my wireless LAN is not accepted by the HP6500A. According to the diagnostic software of HP a code consisting of more than 50 characters is required (the total number of characters can not be identified because the code isgoing on out of the window). The security code of the route consists of 12 characters. Resetting the printer is not solving the problem.
This problem was identified after rinstalling the software after problems with printing: connection with the printer was identified; message: "busy with printing", but no printing result at all.

Security codes can be in ASCII or HEX. I'm guessing that the diagnostics is reporting HEX and the printer entry is in ASCII.
You can try running the diagnostics SW on the Windows 7 computer. It might return the key in ASCII.
A good option is to get the password from somewhere other than the diagnostics. Maybe you stored it somewhere or wrote it down? Once you get it try to enter from the front panel.
Can I get a little information from you?
What router brand model?
What security mode are you using (WEP, WPA, WPA2)?
Which model of the 6500 do you have (6500 or 6500a)?
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"
Sometimes it takes several posts back and forth to get to a solution - please be patient.

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.
