Wireless Not Working

[kyle99]

Ok, so I'm using 8.10 beta, and I plug in my netgear wg111v3 and it works and recognizes it, and it shows a list of networks available. I choose my network and enter the password, and it succesfully connects and says it's signal strength is like 44%. But all my pages in firefox don't load due to a page load error. How do I fix this?

ok.. you are able to get an ip address(192.168.1.8).. so thats good.. now type in the following two commands and post output of it
1)ping 192.168.1.1
2)ping google.com

[kyle99]

And it keeps doing stuff like that.

hey did you manually enter ip address as 192.168.1.8 ?? or did you get it automatically via DHCP from your router?

[kyle99]

Automatically via DHCP.

[superprash2003]

ok this is starting to get a bit strange.. your router gives you an ip 192.168.1.8 . but pinging 192.168.1.1 doesnt give any reply??? do you have firestarter or anything similar running??

[Bucky Ball]

In Firefox:

Edit->Preferences->Network->Settings

and make sure

Auto detect proxy settings for this network

is marked. Might be the problem ...

[MrWES]

Try powering down the router and bring it back up. Maybe it's not picking up the MAC address on that card.

No, nothing like that. It's a fresh installation.

[kyle99]

Anyone? Anyone? Bueler...

[onfyreforjesus]

I'm having the exact same problem. No it is not a router issue cos i have dual boot and the thing works perfectly on windows.

amy help. since this is the v3 adapter with ndiswrapper things are worse-- It doesn't even connect to my home network. Thats protected with a WEP Key.

Any help?

[sideshowmel]

Same problem here.

Multiple WLAN's with different SSID's, encryption methods, etc.

Worked fine when I first installed the Ibex rc, then I upgraded all packages and now it's broken. (I updated over ethernet, not wifi, and I've heard that can make a difference). I tried removing some routes to no avail.

BTW it's not a router / MAC address / NIC card problem... I can connect fine to all wireless networks in Windoze, and WIRED ethernet in Ibex and Windoze works fine, too.


EDIT EDIT EDIT

All I had to do was add the following line to /etc/shorewall/interfaces file:
net wlan0 detect tcpflags

I feel really stupid today...

[onfyreforjesus]

ANything yet? I managed to get it work with the native rtl8187 module but i was just 1 metre away from the router, albeit at only 50% of the usual speed. I have tried wpa wep everything anyone got this thing to work with ndiswrapper?

[onfyreforjesus]

Alright, I finally managed to get this to work. You can follow the various howto's and install the driver using ndiswrapper.

I'm running the final release with all updates as of today of the Intrepid Ibex: ubuntu 8.10

WEP security does not work.

You have to use WPA2 personal security. That is the option i have on my linksys wrt54G v5 router.

Also I have my MAC filter protection on.

Seems to work well as of now. Hope this helps. I'm just waiting for the opensource rtl8187b module to get ready.

Thanks guys, hope this helps.

[onfyreforjesus]

Got it to work using WPA2 security and my MAC filtering is on.

Thanks and hope this helps.
