Wireless profiles problem
I'm hoping that Phrakture and Dibblethewrecker see this. I'm setting up a Thinkpad X20 with a Cisco 350 wireless card. I grabbed the dibble-modified wireless script, and set up a new wireless-profile. I repeatedly get the message on booting that the wireless-profile is NOT found. Here's a couple of other things:
1. I've repeatedly tweaked the profile, but I'm pretty sure that I've got it right. Plus, I've checked and doublechecked that it's in the right place, and that rc.conf points to it.
2. I can bring up the wireless connection manually.
3. I imported Phrakture's old wireless script (and profile) from another machine with Arch on it, and BOOM, I got connected right away.
So, this is not a matter of urgency. I'm just looking for pointers to help me solve my problems with the new script.
This does not appear to be a problem for others since I've found no other posts on this issue. As always, assistance is appreciated.

We see all! :twisted:
Anyway, I'd suggest checking out the initscripts in the testing repo - Judd has implemented roaming network profiles there (as they are official, it'd make more sense to use them)

T60 does not automatically connect to wireless profile at bootup any more
Probably my rose-colored-glasses mistake again.
I let the ThinkVantage system updater install most of the latest updates last night including the
wireless adapter software. Now, when I boot up, my PC no longer automatically connects to
my wireless profile. The radio is on and it is obvious it knows the network is there because it
is highlighted in the Access Connections menu with a Connect option.
It connects just fine when click Connect.
It will still automatically switch between ethernet and wireless when I plug and unplug the
ethernet cable even if I have specifically disconnected from the wireless connection before
plugging in the ethernet cable. It also automatically connects when I log off Windows and log back on.
Is there a setting some place that controls whether it should automatically connect to a
wireless profile at bootup?
I love the brain-dead online FAQ about this exact problem.
It says to click the Connect button if it happens.
Well, duh! What do I do to make it automatically connect like it used to?
I tried unchecking the "allow computer to turn off the radio" setting as other suggested.
But, my problem is not the radio being off.
ThanksHi sashton,
When troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, I find the following resource has the most relevant information:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Furthermore, you may want to avoid giving your network a common name. While the following article (and excerpt) refer to iOS devices, the same applies for your Mac:
Avoid giving your wireless network a common name (SSID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4450
If you were to give your wireless network a common name (SSID), users of your network who use iOS devices [sic] and are away from your network would run the risk of joining a different network with the same name. Having joined the unexpected network, they would be exposed to potential data theft.
Because of this security issue, Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default". If your network's name is on the list, any iOS device [sic] that joins the network stores the access point's BSSID and associates it with the network's SSID. Subsequently, it will only auto-join the network if the access point's BSSID matches the information the device has stored. This avoids joining a different network with the same name.
Therefore, you may want to refer to the following article when configuring your Wi-Fi router:
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

We are running ISE 1.3 tied to AD with WLC 7.6.130.0. Our ISE has a GoDaddy (none wildcard) certificate loaded for https and EAP. We are just running PEAP. We have a mix of IOS, Android, and Windows 7/8 devices. IOS and Android devices can self create a wireless profile and after entering credentials can connect without issue. Our Windows 7/8 devices, when auto creating a wireless profile are selecting 802.1x machine authentication instead of User authentication or the best option which is machine or user authentication. This is problematic as we do allow for machine authentication but have an authorization rule limiting machine auth to domain controller and ISE connectivity only. This is to allow domain Windows 7/8 devices to have domain connectivity prior to user sign-in but force user auth to get true network connectivity. The problem is why are the Windows devices not auto setting to user authentication (as I think they did when we ran ISE1.2), or the best option which is to allow both types of authentication? I have limited authentication protocols to just EAP CHAP and moved the machine auth profile to the bottom of the list. Neither have helped. I also notice that the Windows 7/8 endpoints have to say allow connectivity several times even though we are using a global and should be trusted certificate authority (probably a separate issue).
Thank you for any help or ideas,When connecting a windows device to the ISE enabled SSID when there is not a saved wireless profile on that machine, it will connect and auto create the profile. In that profile, 802.1x computer authentication option is chosen by windows. That has to be changed to computer or user for the machine to function correctly on the network.
On 1.2, this behavior was different. The Windows device would auto select user authentication by default. At other customer sites, windows devices auto select user authentication. This of course needs to be changed to user or computer in order to support machine auth, but at least the default behavior of user authentication would allow machines to get on the network and functional easily to begin with. -
Hey Guys,
Got a rather complex one here which I'm reasonably sure is specifically just a 10.10 Yosemite bug in itself but here's some background, hopefully someone else can replicate it and offer an explanation.
I work at a school and we have WPA2 enterprise wireless utilising certificates and TLS authentication, where as part of TLS we provide a username which matches the certificate name.
We create our wireless profiles for devices through Casper or iPhone Configuration Utility (both output the same file and both work). We are finding that in Yosemite, only user level wireless profile payloads are deploying error free.
Casper allows you to create a system payload wireless profile (mobileconfig), and I also know the lines to modify within an exported iPhone Configuration Utility profile to make it a system one.
If we attempt to deploy a system level payload of a wireless profile, we are meeting the error:
"A keychain cannot be found to store TLSUSERNAMEHERE"
You can then choose to select 'Cancel' or 'Reset to Defaults'
I notice that at this point, the wireless is already in fact connected and am clicking 'Cancel' and just moving on.
If you choose to click 'Reset to Defaults' you get the message:
"Are you sure you want to reset your keychain? This will delete all your saved passwords, keys, and certificates. You cannot undo this operation"
You can then choose to select 'Cancel' or 'Reset'
When you choose 'Reset' a window appears stating:
"Please enter your login password. This password will be used to create your new keychain."
You then attempt to enter your password in the text box, however nothing you type appears in the text box at all. You can tick show password which should show what you're typing but still nothing appears in the text box, all you see is a flashing cursor, no password dots, characters or anything. You click OK and it just closes the window.
However the above exact same mobileconfig file works fine on every OSX we have except for 10.10 Yosemite.
We have also tried deploying this same profile on multiple devices running 10.10 Yosemite and they all have the exact same error.
The fact that the profile starts working before you respond to the error indicates to me that this is a false error or a bug within 10.10 Yosemite itself, especially given when you try to do the reset it's indicating you should do, you cant even enter any text and pressing ok just closes it off completely.
Unfortunately I can't find anyone else that's had this problem - can anyone shed some light on this?Having the exact same issue here. Trying to enable 802.1x wifi on MacBook Airs so that they can authenticate to AD at login and mount user home directories properly. Loading the profile developed to allow connection to wireless before the actual login to the computer gives exactly the same symptoms. I believe, but am not sure that it is because the TLSUSERNAME and password are stored in the profile, and it doesn't know how/where to store the login. The not being able to type in the "Reset" is also identical.
Any updates or ideas? 100% reproducible on 20 different MacBook Airs for 20 different users. -
Hi all,
One of my client was using Autonomous Wireless setup in 2 of their offices, and user authentication was done through Certificate based authentication using AD. In one of their office, saying Office-1, they deployed WLC 5508 and all the autonomous APs were replaced with LWAPP APs. Controller is integrated with AD using Microsoft IAS and users are successfully authenticating.
Now, there is strange problem. Once the user creates a Wireless Profile at Office-1 and successfully connects to the Network, and then he/she moves to Office-2, he is not able to re-connect to the Network and he/she has to delete the existing profile, create the same profile again and then he/she is able to join the Network. Wireless Profile configuration is same for both the locations, except for the thing that Office-1 has Wireless LAN controller and Office-2 does not have WLC. This issue is being faced with only Windows 7 machines, and on Windows XP, it is working fine without deleting/creating new Wireless profile. Looking forward for valuable response.

One Wireless Profile in ACCESS CONNECTIONS interferes with another?
I have a profile on my T61 laptop for my secured home wireless connection. It's worked fine (now that I've figured out all the idiosyncracies of ACCESS CONNECTIONS) up to today.
Last night, I connected to a Boingo wireless system at the airport, and saved the profile in ACCESS CONNECTIONS.
Today, when I tried to connect to my home system via my home wireless profile, I continually was told by ACCESS CONNECTIONS that the router was out of range or unavailable. I checked my profile and all settings were correct for my home wireless. All profiles are turned off for automotic location switching.
Long story short -- after other failed steps, I finally deleted the Boingo airport profile from ACCESS CONNECTIONS, and suddenly ACCESS CONNECTIONS was able to connect to my home wireless system again.
Why would one wireless profile interfere and seeming superimpose its connection settings onto my home wireless profile? I believe I now have found another idiosyncracy, it seems?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Here is the solution to the problem.
GoBoingo has a software program that is set to run during Startup (MSCONFIG in Windows XP); this program alerts the laptop user to the presence of a nearby BOINGO wireless hot spot. This program apparently is interfering with ACCESS CONNECTIONS in the sense that it seems to point the laptop's wireless to a BOINGO access point, regardless of whether one is nearby or not. Then, when I try to use ACCESS CONNECTIONS to connect to the home wireless profile, I'm told that the wireless router is out of range -- and, of course, it is, except that it's a BOINGO wireless router, not my home wireless router.
The solution is to remove the GoBoingo software from running in the Startup window, and instead manually start up the software if one wants to check for a nearby BOINGO wireless hot spot. After unchecking GoBoingo from Startup list, and rebooting the computer, I was able to connect to my home wireless router without any problems. -

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections -
Roaming profile problem?
I'm not sure it's a roaming profile problem or not, but I need help to fix it.
we use MetaFrame citrix to connect a remote computer running a medical program. Every computer has Citrix online plug-in.
If user uses computer user always use, everything will be fine.
It will be failed login Citrix if user need to login to anther computer to load the medical program. uninstall and re-install Citrix online plug-in will fix it. There's lots computers and users, I can't fix it by this way, need to find
out why.
Windows 2008 R2 + windows 7 pro & 8.1 pro.
Thanks for any suggestion,
ITdragonseems no related to profile...
you can recreate a user account to test.
just a thoght...
create a script to uninstall this application. set it as logon script via gpo. when all uninstall, reinstall it...

Color profile problem/question.
These two exports of the same file were taken on my spouse's D300s, and are good examples of a profile problem I cannot seem to solve. This is the identical problem I also experience on the Nikon D700 and D3. The following was exported with the "Camera Standard" profile, and notice the yellow sun reflection on the door panels:
The following was exported with a xrite generated lightroom profile. Notice the better overall contrast, but also the horrendous unnatural yellow on the same door:
This difference causes all sorts of distortion in natural animal hair that contains any red-orange. I use these doors because they are such a stark example. Any attempts to correct with the WB will usually result in too much blue elsewhere. Also I have created many test profiles under many light conditions (both manually and from LR), and they all cause this problem in all three cameras. This is not a matter of one bad cameral, or one erroneously created profile.
I have two questions: Does this example show up well enough to see what I am talking about? If so, can anyone speculate as to the problem or solution? Even guesses would be appreciated since I am out of my own, and not expert in this sort of thing. Thanks!George, thank you for this information. I have a couple of things for you to try and another question. The ColorChecker Passport color patches are small, so I would suggest trying to reshoot a calibration image with the ColorChecker Passport in the center and filling at least 1/3 of the picture width. In the image you provided the ColorChecker Passport is about 1/8 the image width and far left of center. I know, I know, it should not matter, but give it a try. This is what I'm doing to create camera profiles for all three of my camera bodies (Canon 300D, 600D, 5D MKII), and I have not had a single problem with "color matching" using this procedure AND what I will describe next.
Concerning white balance procedure you say:
Using the grey card of the same product placed just outside the subject crop.
I assume you are referring to the large 60% reflectance white balance card on one side of the ColorChecker Passport, but you do not mention how you set white balance. I suggest using the LR white balance eyedropper tool with the smaller 80% reflectance gray scale patch on the ColorChecker Classic target side. This is the 2nd patch from the left bottom in your picture right next to the brightest 90% white patch. Two reasons for doing this! A higher reflectance patch reduces the influence of camera noise in the image with the LR 5 x 5 pixels eyedropper tool. Here's a LR forum post with a heated discussion on these issues (or lack thereof): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854734?tstart=60 The second purely empirical reason is the "Classic" target side provides me with more accurate white balance than using the larger 60% card. Perhaps this is a defect with my ColorChecker Passport target, but I don't know.
When setting white balance with the LR eyedropper tool I suggest taking at least five (5) samples of the 80% patch. I use the center, TL, TR, BR and BL corner areas of the patch. Do not use any reading that has a large variation from the others. Please remember that the eyedropper tool is sampling a very small 5 x 5 (25 pixels) area, and image noise or a target paint defect can give you a bogus reading. Write down the temp and tint for each of the five (5) readings, add them, and divide by five to get the "average" white balance temp and tint. Enter the temp and tint values manually into the white balance tool. I create a user preset for each profile which contains only the ColorChecker created camera profile and manually adjusted white balance settings.
I would also suggest you check the readings of all six (6) grayscale patches for neutrality (R=G=B) using your new camera profile and white balance settings. I have found in some cases using the 65% reflectance patch (3rd patch in) provides the most neutral “overall” white balance setting for the six (6) patches. This is despite the fact it contains more camera noise than the 80% patch next to it. Again, this observation is purely empirical – I am not writing a scientific thesis! It works for me and hopefully it will get you closer to what you want.
One thing I am going to do tomorrow is borrow a friends color checker to rule out the possibility mine is defective. It doesn't look defective, but the problem is so consistent.
This is a very good idea! Having worked in a manufacturing environment for over 45 years, trust me when I tell you defective product from even the largest company ends up in the consumer’s hands. Please let us know what you find. -
Good Morning Everyone,
I seem to have constant IP Profile problems where I have to keep contacting the Broadband Helpdesk to get the IP Reset every few weeks. It seems to do it if the weather is bad (like over the past couple of days) or if i watch videos streamed from YouTube. I told the operator this the last time i called, but it was just dismissed and they just reset the profile.
Last night everything seemed so slow, so i ran a speedtest and yep the profile has dropped again and has been set to 2mbps. I connect at 8mbps and normally my download speed is around the 7.30mbps mark. What could be causing this?
Many Thanks, Steve

Adding Wireless Profile XML In TS or Command Line in SCCM
I have exported my wireless profile to an XML file and have created a package and tried from the command line in TS but keep getting errors (0x00000001 or 0x80004005). The command line I've been using is netsh wlan add profile filename="<Profilename>"
I have to be missing something. Does anyone have any ideas?Now I'm with you :)
My way of doing it is that i have my scripts included in the toolkit package (we do use integrated MDT).
Therefore i need a use toolkit befor i riun my script.
After that I just use a run command line step with Cscript.exe "myscriptname".
Sccm is running as system so it should have all permissions it needs.
By the way, you are not trying to do a gpupdate by chance? That will not work (at least not in 2007) -
Wireless connectivity problems using IOS 6.0.2?
After installing IOS 6.0.2 on my iPhone 5 I can no longer connect to known wireless sites. I've been through troubleshooting with both Apple and my ISP and no luck. I'm thinking there's wireless connectivity problems with this latest update (my iPad 3 is still running 6.0.1 and is fine on my wireless network). Are others having this issue as well?
I am not guaranteeing this fix , but it worked for me , so far. I have an iphone 5 and it had ios 6.0.1 . Worked fine. Upgraded to 6.0.2 and it wouldn't connect with home router most of the time. My son in law an IT guy for the Government came up with a solution. The problem seemed most likely with routers that are bought and not configured and retain the original factory settings. Therefore my phone considers my home network a generic one and I have to manually connect to it. To distinguish the network we did the following.
1) went to settings on my iphone
2) choose "my home network" by pushing the arrow on the right
3) This brought up the network info page. (it says "forget this network " at the top)
4)DHCP will probably be highlighted.
5) touch "static"
6) This will bring up the manual settings
7) We entered the following.
For Ip Address 192.168.1.15
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.1.1
DNS 4.2.2.1,4.2.2.2,8.8.8.8
Leave the HTTP Proxy to off
This will assign a static Ip address not a dynamic one and should work.
If it doesn't , go back to step 3 and select DHCP and return to the dynamic state . -
Color profile problem after installing CS4
OK.
First, let me post these side-by-side comparisons:
As you can see in Image 1 (the "before," left-side photo in each comparison), the colors and overall appearance are distorted. I've read things about gamma but it's all confusing to me. This is surely a color profile problem, right? The transition among pixels that involve colors of yellow and gray is rocky, grainy, and the flat out color is just wrong. Now this color problem affects pictures when opened in both Photoshop 7.0 and the standard Windows Photo Viewer. Meaning, whenever I open pictures in both PS 7.0 and Windows Photo Viewer (my default viewer), this color problem totally messes up certain photos and really damages my ability to edit. I'm an avid photo editor and it's imperative I have proper color display so that I can accurately edit. Keep in mind that certain pictures do not take on this error. When a photo is generally brighter, the distortion is basically invisible. It's photos that are dark or have dark portions in them that display the distortion.
*Note: I took these before-and-after pictures with my camera, because screencapping would not work, since you all don't have the same color profile issue on your computer. That's the only way I can show you!
HOWEVER, when I open photos in another standard Windows application, "Microsoft Office Picture Manager," the color problem is magically erradicated altogether. It shows photos as I've been seeing them all along, until I installed CS4 about two weeks ago. Before installing CS4, everything was fine and I had been using Photoshop 7 for years and have never had a problem. I'm guessing CS4 messed something up. It had to have. Just FYI, I uninstalled CS4, hoping it would reverse the problem. But still, the color issue persists in PS 7 and in my regular Windows Photo Viewer.
Since images display their true form in Windows Office Picture Manager, I don't think I need to calibrate my screen. Or do I? I've read things about it, and to some people, it's not necessary. Right? Okay. I really hope someone can give some advice! Thank you!
P.S. Here's the original photo. On my screen, it looks distorted when opened in photoshop or opened w/the viewer. However, here on Firefox, it's fine.You should try to familiarize yourself with the concepts of color management.
It's kind of too in-depth a subject to walk you through from a cold start here... There are a lot of good resources out there to help you get started. For example, in just a few seconds Google turned up this:
http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1315593
The one thing to remember is this: There is NO quick solution, easy set of defaults, or direct answer to making your setup do what you want without your having to understand color management.
People may tell you to calibrate your monitors, or use a particular color profile as a default, or whatever, and they may have good, solid reasons for telling you those things, but if you don't attempt to get your mind around color management it will always seem as though something isn't working right, or is simply magic, which will be frustrating to you.
Here are some basic questions to ponder:
What image color profile is your image carrying?
Is your monitor a wide-gamut display and do you have a color profile set up for it? What kind of monitor is it?
What version of Windows are you running?
Do you know the difference between a color-managed app and one that is not color-managed?
Which of the apps you're using/showing above are color-managed?
What are your settings in Edit - Color Settings?
Take some time and do some research, get your head around the concepts, and it will all make more sense I promise you.

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
- Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
- Set location to Automatic
- Click Apply
- Click Advanced
- Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
- Click Apply
- Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
- Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
- Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
Turn off your computer
- push and hold Option+Command+R+P
- turn on computer
- when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
- you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
- this resets your PRAM
Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
- click Choose a Network
- Select your network and enter password
Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
I called Apple Support and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
Cheers.
