SMC EZ Connect g adapter!

**Rampo** · June 2nd, 2011

Hi,

I am new to Ubuntu. I just upgraded Ubuntu Netbook on my Dell Latitude D610. I need a wireless USB adapter to use the internet. I decided to make use of the SMC EZ Connect g 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, which I used on Windows XP. Unfortunately Ubuntu recognizes the adapter (lsusb in the terminal). But that's it. No connection to the internet whatsoever or searching for available networks.
Help me, guys. What should I do to make this adapter work. Drivers? I looked for drivers on the SMC website, couldn't find any.

Model: SMC2862W-G
Part No: 99-012084-449

Ahh! I wish they were all this easy. p54usb devices require firmware that is not installed by default. Can you hook up an ethernet cable and open a terminal and do:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

Detach the ethernet cable, reboot and post back to tell us how your wireless is working.

I tried this. The result was that my dongle could scan for networks, but it couldn't connect to one. It keeps trying to connect, but it fails to.

I even tried

Code:

sudo modprobe -r p54usb
sudo modprobe p54usb

Same result...

It keeps trying to connect, but it fails to.

Are there any clues here?

Code:

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep -e p54 -e etwork

Is your network WPA or WPA2 or the dreaded and tricky mixed WPA and WPA2 mode? Will it connect with a static IP address? You can set a static IP by clicking the Network Manager icon, selecting edit connections, select wireless, edit and change DHCP to Manual. Fill in your details and save.

This is the result of that command you gave me.

I am not sure what to fill in once I changed DHCP to manual..

So, it's busy activating and connecting your wired ethernet, when, in fact, Network Manager is designed to disallow a wireless connection if wired is available. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager

The computer should use the wired network connection when it's plugged in, but automatically switch to a wireless connection when the user unplugs it and walks away from the desk. Likewise, when the user plugs the computer back in, the computer should switch back to the wired connection. The user should, most times, not even notice that their connection has been managed for them

Can you assure me that, at all times you were trying to get the wireless connected, that the ethernet cable was detached?

nm_setting_802_1x_get_pkcs11_engine_path: assertion `NM_IS_SETTING_802_1X (setting)' failed

I have seen this a few times, but I don't think it's significant. My system connects perfectly on boot and puts out that message, too.

You might try address 192.168.178.30; netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.178.1. Be sure to also fill in your encryption details. Please try with the ethernet cable detached.

The ethernet cable was detached when I was trying to get the wireless connected.
Ok, I will try what you suggested. Let's hope it works.

I tried what you said. I filled in those details and tried to get it connected, but no luck unfortunately..

Any clues here?

Code:

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep -e p54 -e etwork

Thanks.

Nope, no clues there.
