Wireless recognized during install but not after

Hi guys,
I just installed Archlinux using my wireless network (i've installed ANYTHING, no drivers, no firmwares). Everything gone fine but after the installation I rebooted my system and... SURPRISE! The system couldn't bring up the wlan0 interface (recognized by ifconfig -a) because of: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
So after investigating, I found that I need the ralink driver. In fact, I've downloaded it and putted in /lib/firmware
Now I can bring up my IF but when I use THE SAME wpa_supplicant.conf file used during install, nothing, it doesn't work.
If you need more details tell me, but first of all... WHY during the install everything went fine and after no?! Is it a bit strange... no?
Thanks all
(using Archlinux x64 on Acer 5735z)

At least for rt2870sta, it's a retarded bug in Linux that was introduced in 2.6.31 and is still not fixed. It works in the live environment because it has an older kernel.
Kernel 2.6.31 module conflicts
The 2.6.31 kernel caused the rt2870 driver to conflict with other wireless modules. The fix in this thread says that you need to blacklist the rt2800usb rt2x00usb and rt2x00lib modules by modifying the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=( ... !rt2800usb !rt2x00usb !rt2x00lib ... )

  • [SOLVED] broadcom-wl works during install, but not after.

    I have this macbook air which I'm beating into submission, and it has a broadcom wifi chip. I followed the instructions here for the installation and it worked perfectly. After booting into my newly installed system I do the same, but when I do 'modprobe wl' it fails with:
    # modprobe --verbose wl
    insmod /lib/modules/3.14.5-1-ARCH/extramodules/wl.ko.gz
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Invalid argument
    I checked with 'lsmod' and none of the blacklisted modules are loaded. I have no idea how to proceed but it should work since it worked during installation. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
    EDIT: As  user Namarrgon on irc pointed out, I needed to rebuild the broadcom-wl package. The reason it worked in the live usb and not in the installed system is probably because the installed system had a later kernel than the one on the live usb.

  • ADE installed but not recognized

    I am using Windows 10, a Nook, My Media Mall.  ADE is installed, my computer authorized and I am activated.  When I download an E book, it appears to be downloaded, but when I try "open with" the only option showing is Adobe Reader. Then, I look for other programs but ADE is not listed as an option.  Is there something I have not done?

    Windows 7 and IE 11 ... I also use Firefox, for business only.

  • IPhone 5 is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes (OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5)

    I am helping a friend with her new iPhone 5.
    Issue is that it is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes.
    iPhone 5 16GB, iOS 6.1.4
    OSX 10.6.8v1.1, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5
    Computer: iMac C2D 2.4 GHz (Early 2008)(iMac8,1), 1 GB RAM,
    History, recently updated in-place from 10.5.8 Leopard to 10.6.8v1.1 SL, just for the iPhone 5.
    Installed iTunes 10.7 (as we do not like interface and loss of separate Playlist view in iTunes 11).
    Noted that iPhone 5 stipulates that iTunes 10.7 or higher is required -- So should be OK there.
    Initially iPhone was recognized by both iPhoto and iTunes. Then shortly later, iTunes did not see it anymore, was missing from iTunes Devices list.
    Called Apple Support, agent walked us through removing iTunes and the iTunes Receipt packages.
    Then Reinstalled iTunes 10.7. Ran Permissions Repair. Restarted computer.
    Seemed all good, iTunes (10.7) saw and synced and updated the iPhone.
    But Now, after two or three weeks, when user plugged in her iphone and ran iTunes, it did not show the iPhone at all, though iPhoto did start up and show pictures.
    So the iMac computer sees the iPhone5 well enough to get picture data, but apparently not well enough for iTunes sync.
    (she tends to use the wall charger and not plug it into the iMac very much at all).
    In all other known respects, both the iPhone5 and the iMac C2D seem to function normally.
    Any thoughts?
    I looked at KB article: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
    And at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X).
    And finally am thinking we may need to ALSO do the uninstall via: https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (Remove Apple Mobile Device Service).  But I have not visited with here to do that yet.........)
    Any thoughts on best way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    What error message ar eyou getting. Why do you say it will not allow you to download?
    Verify you meet all the system requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

  • Zen Micro Photo Recognized in Vista but Not Detected in Creative Softw

    How do i fix this problem? My Micro Photo is recognized in Vista. It shows up a portable device when i click "computer"? I can see all the songs on my mp3 player. The problem is the the Creative Mediasource 5. and Zencast organizer says it is not detected. These are the new versions for windows vista. Just downloaded them from the creative website.
    Can i just copy and paste songs on the mp3 player from within "Computer" since it is recognized as a portable device? Which software is supposed to be the one I use for organizing music..Mediasource or Zencast??

    Great Call on installing the playsforsure update. I had the exact same issue... Zen V Plus recognized by Vista, but not by Mediasource 5 organizer. I had already installed the "CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_LB_5_00_36" update from Creative's support site, which supposedly included the Playsforsure plug-in. However, when I went to Mediasource 5 help, software updates menu item... the plugin was listed as neeing to be downloaded and installed. My Zen V Plus was recognized after the reboot!!

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

    Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
    I got a new laptop Windows 7.  I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully.  However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

    Hey tgcraighead,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    After the installation did you restart the computer?  If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
    Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

    I was running Foxfire 3.6.9 and wanted to use FTP Program add-on and it did not appear to load but appeared but then would be installed but not run or appear under tools. So I deleted Foxfire 3.6.9 and down loaded to 3.5.9 so it could get FTP and it is doing the same could not install. Even after I registered my copy. The last time I used this program it showed up under tools and worked great. any suggestions on whats going on and how I can get around this?.by ralphd3g

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

  • Error: 3816: Local System Creation during install was not successful.

    Hello,

    Software component sap.com/LM-TOOLS with version 7.00.9.3 is found on the system but in the stack it is listed with version 7.00.9.0.
    Software component sap.com/SAP-JEECOR with version 7.00.9.1 is found on the system but in the stack it is listed with version 7.00.9.0.
    You are trying to upgrade a system with the lower version of sap.com/LM-TOOLS and sap.com/SAP-JEECOR. The other thing I notice is that if you are upgrading to  EhP4/EhP1 NW then the version of LM and SAP-JEECOR should look something like 7.01.3.0.
    Are you using MOPZ to download EhP's ? As the error message says synchronize the system with SAP Solution Manager and then generate a new stack file.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Device technical installed but not billing related.

    Hi Expert,
    How can I find out if a deive is technical installed but not billing related?
    I've tried to make a querry in SQVI where I use the tables EGERH and EASTL with a left outer join on logical number and a time slice
    This doesn't give me the expect result.
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Edited by: R.L.Groener on Nov 22, 2011 8:39 PM

    Hi,
    EASTL-BIS Not Equal to 31.12.9999      This is to avoid the devices which are Billing related installed as this is left outer join on EGERH and EASTL so this will fetch the records which are present in EGERH and in EASTL; and also the records which are in EGERH and not in EASTL.
    EASTL Not Equal to 00.00.0000       This is optional. if you want only the devices which were sometime installed billing related (example-device was billing related removed after few days)
    Let me know if more information is required.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ranjit Thakur.

    Hello pbandy34,
    Canon still maintains a full version of ZoomBrowser v6.6.0b [full application] on our web site.  Click here to download that version and install.  Once you have it installed, go back to the same page linked above and grab the ZoomBrowser 6.9.0a Updater and that will take you to the latest version.  
     We hope that you have a wonderful day.  If you require further or urgent technical assistance, feel free to get in touch with an agent at our Chesapeake, VA call center through the Canon USA web site.

  • Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not

    Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not
    Has anyone seen this. It seems to happen with ARD 3, have not seen this in ARD 2.
    I go to the Install Packages on Target Computers, put in: 10.4.7 Combo (for the correct CPU, PPC or Intel), security updates, QT 7.1.2, etc.
    Push it to Macs I can connect to, observe and control.
    The progress bar copies the files (in some instances it does not) and then it just hangs there, bar does not move, Installs never finish, not good, very odd.

    Is it the same clients that have the problem every time? Are those clients doing anything cpu intensive? Have you tried rebooting the affected clients?
    Maybe try a smaller package on those clients.

  • Installed but not found on computer

    I've successfully installed the latest 10.1 for my 64-bit laptop with Windows 7.  A check by Adobe confirms that it was properly installed, and that I have the correct version for my computer.
    AND YET, there is no icon for it anywhere, it doesn't come up on my list of Programs, when I enter "Adobe Flash Player" in the search bar it shows no such program, and when I try to play a FLV file, it won't give me Flash Player as an option. So..... I have it on my computer, but I apparently am not allowed to see it or access it?
    I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, and cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is.  Any help for this maddening situation?

    Hi,
      Yes, I read his comments and I made sure Shockwave Flash Object was enabled in IE as he suggested. I am trying to make a flip book. One of the posts here in the forum said to make a SWF file, which I did. But now I can't figure out how to do anything with it. I thought Flash Reader was the right program to look at it, but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I need Flash itself? The flip book thing has me pretty frustrated and confused. All the sites and software I've tried are poor quality. I was hoping I could figure out how to do it through Adobe to get better quality.

    Re: Installed but not found on computer
    Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a stand alone Player. You should have Shockwave Flash Object in add ons in IE and make sure it is enabled.
    Your Flash files are in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash 
    You may want the Adobe Media Player:http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/   
    Hope that helps,
