Wireless on Vostro 1000 not working.

So I've tried all of the ways on the wiki and even consulted Pyther and I still can't get it working. Using wl got my wifi indicator turning on and I was getting eth1 when I ran ifconfig -a, but none of the other way have worked at all.

I didn't realize that the wifi light came on when you were using the wl driver.
Try this and see if it helps
1. Grab the wl driver from the broadcom-wl pkg in aur (run makepkg and install)
2. pacman -S wicd (if you don't already have it installed)
3. rmmod b44 b43 ssb (unload all networking modules)
4. modprobe wl (load broadcom wl module)
5. /etc/rc.d/wicd start (as root)
6. wicd-client (run from terminal as a user)
7. Click on system tray icon to bring up the wicd gui interface
8. Go to preferences and change the wireless interface to eth0 and wired interface to nothing (no text in the text box)
9. Click ok and then hit the refresh button
10. See if any networks show up and if so try to connect.
The link that was provided is quite old, many of these issues have been fixed in recent versions of the kernel, udev, and xorg.

Wireless network and bluetooth not working on touchsmart 600

This has not worked since day 1 and I have been using wired internet.
I really need to setup a home network and need to use wireless.
Research on the net has led me to belive I should have HP WIRELESS ASSISTANT on my machine... is that correct?
Everytime I try to download it is seem to be for a notepad... mine is a touchsmart desktop...
Please advise

Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post on your wireless keyboard and mouse not working with your desktop, and I would be happy to help you! To begin, I need to ask you a few introductory questions:
What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop?
What version of Windows are you using?
Is this a recent issue, or has it been like this since day one?
Are you using a USB hub to connect your peripherals or is it directly plugged into the computer?

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.

I am a windows user that has converted to Mac and loving it but when I updated to Lion my wireless internet dongle would not work anymore and the Macbook Pro does not recognise the device at all so I am unable to reinstall it again. Any ideas

X100e - Wireless is on and not working

Hi guys,
I am completely new to the forums and to thinkpads. I have had my think pad for 2 months. Till yesterday everything was working well, until I decided to update the drivers. After it the wireless stoped working. Problem is exactly the same as:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge/Wireless-apparently-active-but-not-working/m-p/280548
However, the solution does not work for me. All my drivers are up to date. I did reinstall the Realtek driver, access connections and updated bios without any luck. Clicking repair does not solve the problem. The wireless is not shut off in the BIOS. Do you guys have anything in mind?

Cause:       Association failed - wireless radio not powered on.

Hello,
A couple of things to try:
Toggle the Wi-Fi radio on and off by pressing the Fn+F5 key combination.
Open the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), remove the wireless adapter, then reboot and let Windows re-detect it.
Let us know the results of the above, and we can proceed from there.

What did you open if if was already opened?
As for your non-working keys, perhaps debris somehow got beneath the keys. Especially if you were eating while using your computer. Spilled anything on the keys lately or previously?

If none of the above applies to you, you could have a hardware issue. If you have Apple Care, call them and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

Hi , I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
can the nano reciever be replaced;
any other options to troubleshoot;
any chance that this could be a software problem
Thanks

Apple Wireless Keyboard 'o' key not working

I have recently acquired a pre-owned wireless keyboard which was working fine until a few days ago. Now the 'o' key has stopped working and some keys do not work with the left shift key - they work fine with the right-shift key and other keys work with left-shift.
I have checked the key using the keyboard viewer and the 'o' is not highlighted highlighted when the key is pressed. I can type 'o' characters using the keyboard viewer.
I have tried pairing the keyboard with another mac and it has the same symptoms on that machine so I don't think it is a software problem or a problem with SVC, PRAM or Bluetooth on the mac ( late-2012 Mac Mini).
I have tried to look for solutions here and in other forums but none of the suggested solutions seem to work.
Any suggestions?

I would reset the PRAM. If that does not work, I suspect it is failing and/or failed.
I agree, it is not a Bluetooth problem.

Wireless Keyboard FN Key Not Working

I have checked this box:
I also tried the Firmware 1.1 update but I got a messege saying:
"No Apple Aluminum Keyboards Found" and I paraphrase "Please connect the device or make sure it is turned on etc."
I also tried the Firmware 2.0 update but got the same message. I can't physically connect the Wireless Keyboard to the Mac Mini I have. It's wireless FFS.
I ALSO Installed the Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1 and that didn't help
Also I tried some advice from a forum mentioning a SMC or System Management Controller via these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
But nothing is allowing me to use my FN keys anymore. This is annoying because I thoroughly enjoyed volume control from my keyboard. Now it's gone.
This all started when my old keyboard broke and I got a new one. I want my volume control back! Help me please before I jump out the window!

Hi.
My FN key is not working either. I have a macbook white (10.5.8) and a brand new apple wifi keyboard.
F9 to F12 keys are working. F1 to F4 keys are not working.
I've gone thought many posts (some are listed bellow). In short, I did the following already:
- keyboard software update
- keyboard firmware update
- magic mouse software update (because some posts suggested that more than one Bluetooth device, like magic mouse, could interfere on Bluetooth keyboard operation.
- SMC reset (above in this post).
Most posts were saying "uncheck the "use F1, F2......", then recheck it. This didn't work for me.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Gus.

TS3119 Wireless Keyboard one key not working

My M key on my wireless keyboard is not working, anyone else ever have this happen with just one key?

What make and model of wireless keyboard? There are several. Also what Mac OSX version are you using?

Cleaned the keys on my wireless keyboard, 5 keys not working.

Cleaned the keys on my wireless keyboard with rubbing alcohol. Now my number 2 key, w, s, x and caps lock keys won't work. I copy and paste these right now. I did notice the cotton balls were saturated and some seeped out, but I didn't notice that my keys didn't work till 2 days later. I did leave my keyboard in the sun to see if it helped for about 45 min. It's still not working. Any suggestions? Hope There is a way to save my keyboard.

I did notice the cotton balls were saturated and some seeped out,
Never clean a keyboard with rubbing alcohol and never leave the keyboard in the sun, or any Apple products for that matter.
You may need to purchase a new keyboard.
In the future, follow the instructions here > How to clean Apple products

Wireless Keyboard Function Keys Not Working

I recently bought a wireless keyboard and am using it with an iMac running 10.5.8.
The function keys don't work, for example F12 brings up Dashboard instead of increasing the volume, F8 brings up Spaces etc.
I've unticked "Use all F1, F2 etc. keys as standard function keys" and have tried installing the Mighty Mouse update and Wirless Keyboard update 2.0 to no avail.
Any help in fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have the exact same issue: I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and the "Apple Wireless Keyboard Update 2.0" does not resolve my problem with the "fn" key. The "fn" key simply does not work. For example I cannot adjust volume regardless of whether or not this key is pressed. Also, I cannot perform a "del" action, which is normally "fn" + "delete" keys combined. The "delete" key only performs backspace action, whether or not my "fn" key is pressed.
I have tried removing the keyboard from the bluetooth devices and adding it again to no avail. I also tried deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist in the preferences folder, rebooting, adding the keyboard, and finally installing the 2.0 update. Still no difference; the keyboard gets recognized properly, but the "fn" key does not work.
This is driving me nuts, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Sandro
