Nework Diagnosis-Script

[fdrake]

This is a script to get a diagnosis of your network to help yourself in case of trubleshoting ( Wi-Fi/Lan). If you are using USB- network adapters is highly suggest that you run a lsusb command next to the scripts. Since i did not include any usb scan for network devices I suggest to use a different script or to change this one to meet your needs.

How-To:

1.download attachment:net.sh

2.sudo chmod +x net.sh

3.sudo ./net.sh

4. After you run the script, a file named ‘results.txt’ will be created.

content of the file
net.sh


#!/bin/bash

Hi fdrake, thanks for taking the time to do this.

I'm still very new at using the terminal in Ubuntu (I'm currently doing a course using Python).
After downloading the attachment, I type "sudo chmod +x net.sh" into the terminal right?
I just get a return message saying 'cannot access net.sh no directory found'

you have to assign the right path of the file. usually ur downloads are all place in ~/Downloads. first "cd ~/Downloads" then "sudo chmod +x net.sh"

[Potsoil]

Thanks for bearing with me!

I can connect via an ethernet cable, and my mac picks up the signal of my wireless network, but whenever I try to connect it fails. This happened when I had Tiger installed, and I solved it by downloading a driver update, however I'm not sure how to compile packages on Ubuntu yet, or if there's an easier way, of if I've even got the right file!

[fdrake]

ehhh.. something is strange. your wirelss show in the error logs and in the hardware list but not in the pci list or in the kernel's modules list, and not even in the wireless connection log.

can you try

lspci | grep Ethernet
less /var/log/daemon.log

it seems like it's a driver issue.

[Potsoil]

lspci | grep Ethernet

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 22)

less /var/log/daemon.log

/var/log/daemon.log: No such file or directory

[Potsoil]

I've downloaded what I think is the correct driver, however it's in what I think is called a tarball? In other words I just get a lot of files that I think I need to compile manually, and I'm not sure how to do that..

[fdrake]

yes it looks like your wifi card is not recognized in pci list but it is present in iwconfig and in lshw.

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on

ca you post the link of the driver you are trying to install

[Potsoil]

http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/bcm43xx-yum-extras

I think that's the one I need.

[Potsoil]

oops double post (http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/bcm43xx-yum-extras)

[fdrake]

the driver you are trying to in stall is meant for Broadcom devices, instead you are using a device from Atheros Communications Inc. the right driver is: http://wiki.debian.org/ath9k#Supported_Devices



sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install wireless-tools
sudo modprobe ath9k
<reboot>
iwconfig wlan0 power on
ifconfig wlan0 up

if you have still problems run again the script and repost again please. you just need to install the correct driver.

[Potsoil]

Ha, thanks!
After running sudo aptitude update && aptitude install wireless-tools
I get:

sudo: aptitude: command not found


Do I need to download something from the wireless tools package link first?

Ha, thanks!
After running sudo aptitude update && aptitude install wireless-tools
I get:

sudo: aptitude: command not found


Do I need to download something from the wireless tools package link first?

ehh.. ?? that's odd. are you sure you re typing the command correctly?
try this instead:


sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude update


Edit:

also I just double checked more carefully your script and i found out that the right driver is actually already installed (in lshw, even if lspci did not show it). My bad, i missed that! :P

so the driver is not the problem in this case! which is better....
can you post the results for this commands:


sudo iwlist scan | less

and which one is your ESSID name
are you able to connect normally to .an open(no pass/encryption) wifi hotspot?
if so change your router setting to WAP or WAP2 only , do not use WAP/WAP2

:

i am sorry to sound rude but this was suppose to be a thread about my script in the first place (on how to improve it and elaborate the informations collected by the system), not a place where everyone post their results and ask for help, please . It's going to get very confusing for the ppl that are trying to help to understand the situation for each one of you. I am just doing a favor to Potsoil by letting him posting here his/her own issues... for this time only!
If you have troubles with your wifi open a new thread (under "networking and wireless") and post here a link to it. I will be happy to assist you there and I am sure you will find a lot more help too. ;)

[Potsoil]

Sorry Fdrake I didn't realise this wasn't the purpose of the thread, I can message you rather than continue to clog up your thread if you like? :tongue:

Do you mean change the actual settings on the router itself? Or on my settings on here? I haven't got an option to change to just WAP or WAP2 only on my network settings.
I can connect to BT openzone and whatnot, which is what made me think it was just the driver for that particular router.

[fdrake]

from the scan i have 3 results: BTOpenzone, BTFON which are open and i think you should not have any problem to connect to them. And we have BTHomeHub2-22T7 which uses a mixed mode ecryption mode wap/wap2

IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
Group Cipher : TKIP
Pairwise Ciphers (2) : CCMP TKIP
Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
IE: WPA Version 1
Group Cipher : TKIP

mixed mode setting is know isssue in a lot of drivers in linux/ubuntu. you can change your routers' setting by connecting through the ethernet and go to the "wireless-security" tab and select either "wap" or "wap2" only.

if you have problems post here please.

[Potsoil]

My only other security option is WEP...I'm actually moving house in 2 weeks so for fear of having everyone else in the house having to reconfigure their wireless settings I might just wait and see if I can connect to my new router

But thanks so much for all your help fdrake! I'll probably spend the rest of the two weeks trying to figure out how to get my speakers and macbook camera to work :-P

[fdrake]

you are welcome. actually you made me realize I am missing few commands and logs to improve the script.

[lkjoel]

There is a much more complete version of the script at: j.mp/Netinfo

Could we team up on the scripts? Strength relies in Unity ;-)

sure that would be great! It's been a while that I was wondering with so many wireless / network issues around how come there isn't a script yet to automate these commands?

I never noticed the your sign had the links to it, and I have seen you around a lot in the forum! I must be blind or something!

I checked your script and I like the fact that you check for the commands first and created user-friendly interface when loading.

What I'd like to do in my script like you did in your is to add the usb scan and extract from lspci,lshw,lsusb, the driver-names, firmware-names and the devices-names and use those variables (next to "net" "wlan" "eth" "radio") to filter the long log files present in dmesg and in /var/log/syslog. To make the research of the problem faster. Also filter with these variable the blacklisting of drivers and the list of modules in general.

What i did on mine is to extract the driver names from lspci for example and save those info in a temp log file, and then use those name to filter dmesg and lsmod. Unfortunately if your device is not listed in lspci that is useless, like it happened with the poster in this thread.

I know this is not a big deal in the end we can do ourself when we have the .txt file downloaded in the hdd. Sometimes filtering is good other times not, especially when you do not know what you are looking for (like for example a conflict with ndiswrapper). So here I am stuck to answer this question : to filter or not to filter the endless-logs? or maybe give an option in the script?

ps. I updated my script with no filters and more logs.

edit: i got an idea how about we highlight those names (or the lines containing them)with a bold font and a different color? this way we have the whole log and at the same time we know where to look for?

Should I add you as a developer of the Network Info script? That way you could help out easily.

Maybe we should add an upload option like the option in the Alsa-Info script? Then it could upload an HTML file, with the correct highlighting.

I will be very happy to help out in the project! Probably an on-line view is the easiest thing to do in this case for everyone. Actually is even better than I thought since we can collect all the data very easly and fast for each driver/device in a database(preferably a mySQL) and relate those to the errors present in the log files or in the commands... just a thought, but there is time for that.

I will take a look at the alsa-info script right now. PM me or contact me anytime if you have any news/ideas or whatever thing that you want to do in the project.

[lkjoel]

OK. Did you register for sourceforge.net?

I've just updated the script a bit, fixing a few bugs and adding all of the checks included in your script (and fixed a few bugs on your checks ;-)).
