Network connection help with HP mini 311

[chili555]

Please do:

dmesg > saura.txt
sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep wlan >> saura.txt
iwconfig wlan0 >> saura.txt
zip saura.zip saura.txt

In your home directory, you will find a file called saura.zip. Please attach it to your reply.

Are you setting up the WPA enterprise and PEAP details in Netwoork Manager? When you try to connect, are you asked for the details?

[saurabhgeo]

yes I did set up details in network manager.

Kindly find the attached zip file

Thanks

Your dmesg starts here:

ndwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp)

I wonder why your file doesn't start at boot, that is, at 0.000.

Would you care to reboot and try again with dmesg only?

dmesg > saura2.txt
zip saura2.zip saura2.txt

Your logs are filled with authenticate -> associate -> disconnect. This is very interesting:

Nov 3 15:08:29 saurabh-Inspiron-1525 NetworkManager[1019]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: associating -> associated

That suggests to me that the WPA-Enterprise details are not quite correct and the access point keeps kicking you out.

Have you double-checked all the details?

I have no experience with WPA-Enterprise so I am not sure I can help setting it up.

[saurabhgeo]

I did checked all the details

I am also sendin you pdf manual ( 3pages ) from my uni.

Another thing I notice that after GRUB and before log in screen appears I get a message

modprobe : Fatal Error Occurred Could not load lib/modules/2-6-35-22-generic/modules.dep No such file or directory

It might be that the syntax or spelling are wrong in above statement since this message stays for less than a second and I had to reboot 3 times to note it down in parts

Is this serious issue ?

[chili555]

Could not load lib/modules/2-6-35-22-generic/modules.dep No such file or directory

I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592062&page=3

See posts #28 and 29.

I am studying the zip files, but I have to go out for a while. Back later.

This is interesting:

b43-phy0 ERROR: Fatal DMA error: 0x00000400, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000
[ 30.131037] b43-phy0 ERROR: This device does not support DMA on your system. Please use PIO instead.

Please amend the b43.conf file we created earlier (post #18) to read:

options b43 qos=0 pio=1 nohwcrypt=1

Proofread, save and close gedit and reboot. If it is working, post back so we all know what worked, if not, make me another dmesg > sauro3.txt and zip it.

[saurabhgeo]

not working still

Here is the report

Thanks

[chili555]

We have fixed the PIO issue.

I am out of ideas. I saw this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/334052

And this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...hlight=eduroam

The key seems to be Wicd and a corresponding template.

I am convinced that the card and driver are working properly.

Are you able to connect to other non-WPA-Enterprise networks, at the cyber cafe or library, for example?

I was able to solve this issue on my mini by simply employing the Synaptic Package Manager as follows:
In Synaptic, remove the bcm43 driver which is, in Synaptic, 'firmware-b43-installer' the same time you install 'firmware-b43-lpphy-installer'. If you don't the system seems to get confused and reverts to the original driver driving you up the wall.... again. Good Luck !!! Hope this works....

Hey Guys, Had a similar issue when first installing the operating system . However the only step I went though was this one above. It worked like a charm. I recommend this to HP Mini 311 owners!
