can't detect my wifi network ubuntu 13.04 We would love to see: dmesg | grep cfg80211; also : sudo iwlist wlan0 channel. What wireless driver is being used? |

can't detect my wifi network ubuntu 13.04 First of all, I don't believe EU is a recognized ieee80211 code: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 You might try DE or FR or the actual country. Second, I believe the correct usage is: 'options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=FR' without the tickmarks, of course. After you amend your file and reboot, check dmesg for relevant messages or errors: dmesg | grep regdom |

Yagi Turbotenna in Ubuntu 13.04 The 2010 file you are trying to compile is way, way too old for Ubuntu 13.04. Notice the link you gave is for 9.04; four years is an eternity in Linux. You shouldn't need to compile anything for rt2870xx devices. Please run and post: lsusb |

new Lenovo T431s ubuntu 12.04 and wireless don't play nice The driver does cover your device. We need to find out why it doesn't stay loaded and create a wireless interface wlan0 on boot. Please detach any ethernet cable, reboot so we have a clean slate and run: dmesg > justin.txt; lsmod >> justin.txt; cat /var/log/syslog | grep iwl >> justin.txt. Find the file justin.txt in your user directory and paste it here so we can examine it: paste.ubuntu.com Please give us the link in your reply. |

new Lenovo T431s ubuntu 12.04 and wireless don't play nice I wonder if the driver iwlwifi doesn't actually cover your device as early as 12.04. Please check: modinfo iwlwifi | grep 088F. |

Wireless connection keeps dropping with a Realtek card (Ubuntu 11.10) You don't need a fix for an Intel card since you have a Realtek. The file you created is ineffective, so remove it: sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf; sudo modprobe -r iwl3945. Then wait for it to disconnect and then run and post: dmesg | grep rtl. Post it here if it is very long and give us the link: paste.ubuntu.com |

problems after upgrading to 12.04 LTS Download the file to your desktop. Right-click it and select 'Extract Here.' It will extract it no matter what it is. Then do: cd Desktop/rtl* and continue on as above. |

Where do I find a list of devices I'm trying to find my Sony Vaio VGN Wireless adapter When you boot the computer and the internal wireless isn't working, is the driver iwl3945 loaded? lsmod Does it start if you load it manually? sudo modprobe iwl3945 If so, we can load it automatically on boot. |

ralink 2870 usb wireless adapter It isn't necessary to compile this driver in any recent Ubuntu version. Please open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+t and run: lsusb. Tell us what it reports about your wireless device and we'll proceed. |

rtl8192ce Drivers not compiling in Raring The driver rtl8192ce already is built in to 13.04 and, as you can see in lsmod, is loaded. However, in rfkill, we see that the wireless switch or key combination is set to turn the wireless off: "1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes" Please turn on the switch before you proceed. |

Wireless n-networks in Ubuntu 13.04 and WICD Please try: lsmod | grep iwl. In 13.04, the iwldvm or iwlmvm module needs to be unloaded first. Remove whatever you found. If not iwldvm, then do: sudo modprobe -r iwlmvm; sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi; sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1. If you then connect, we can write a conf file to make it permanent. |

Wireless n-networks in Ubuntu 13.04 and WICD That is a matter of debate. Some card/iwlwifi driver/router combinations, including mine, have no trouble whatever with N speeds. Others are just impossible. Since this is your employers network, you can probably not log on to the settings page of the router and fiddle with settings until it works. Frankly, I find N no more or less stable, but that may be due to the fact that are very few other networks in range at my home. If it were me, I'd disable N permanently, remove Wicd and be done. If you need guidance, post back. |

Wireless n-networks in Ubuntu 13.04 and WICD It's a bug: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wicd/+bug/1132529 I doubt Wicd will enable you to connect to an N network any easier than Network Manager. Intel products with the iwlwifi driver are indeed tricky. Does your employer also have G available? If you disable N can you connect to G? sudo modprobe -r iwldvm; sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi; sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 |
