JEAN

i AM BACK AGAIN to try once more, firstly when I extract the jadams gz file i dont see anything in the subfolders.....FIGURED THAT OUT with properties, kinda silly it seems, well at least one uncertainty is gone

u on line, I am going to try yet again

YAHOOOOOO, I SEE A WIRELESS CONNECTION in my Network,

Jean, you have been amazing with your patience and

even as important things are seeming to make sense, as I am getting used to the new lingo, greattttt !!!!!!

my next challenge seems to be how to View Wireless Network Connections, and a hit has suggested "wifi radar", any suggestions, and

Is it normal that when I am in wlan0 Properties with Enabled roaming mode checked, that everything else is greyed out???

and THANKS AGAIN!!!

Mark

OK so I should have guessed, more questions,

I don't seem to be able to view any available wireless networks and I know there are some around, and my friend says I should when I left click on the 2 monitors Network Connection icon on the top RHS, ????

Progress though, phewwwwww

Mark

Yahooo It's Working, from simply running ./wlan0up while in the modified folder, which I guess means
wlan0 "on",

Is there any way to make it start automatically on bootup?

now I am going to try working with that program "ndiswrapper" to see if I can make it work. That is my next project.

Have to go.

Jean

HMMMM, Jean

OK, I have been having a hard time re-enacting my previous success, w th e wireless, but now it is showing wireless networks again. AND as well a the icon top rhs taskbar showing the wireless options,

BUT now it is freezing the computer when connecting, hmmmmm, again

any straight forward solutions, argh

Mark

Jean Hi there

everything is working when I connect to a network that does NOT require a code, I am on one right now and the card and driver is working great.

HOWEVER, when i try to connect to a network which DOES require a code it freezes as its is connecting, hmmmmmm any ideas, and as usual,
I appreciate the help :-) !!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,

Mark

I am still trying to figure this out,

Is there any replacement for the Network Manager in Ubuntu which may have bugs with Realtek drivers?

ANYONE?

Thanks in advance, and trying to say good riddance to MicroSoft,

Mark

I can't get on to any encrypted networks though non encrypted are no problem.


What the heck's up?

ok, I even tried Wicd and though at least it doesn't crash when attempting to get on to any encrypted networks, it stop at the finding ipaddress. And I have tried many diff, networks with many types of encryption, and now I am trying even a different wireless card though as usual I am even having a huge hassle installing it(Linksys WUSB300N)with the ndiswrapper,

arggghhhh the battle continues, helppppp!

Thanks, Mark

YO,

My wireless is working Hallelujah, and I wish I know how I did it more specifically what was wrong before, after all these permutations and combinations.

But this is what I did last.... I referred to beginners guide to installing NDISwrapper titled "My own Personal Ndiswraper Guide - Troubleshooting Tips Included" as I could not get a proper response from modprobe, and I reinstalled it with the intention to get my Linksys usb wireless card trying to function to eliminate another possibility. Well low and behold both cards are working fine and I am getting thru with both. The odd thing is that my RTL8187b driver was installed without NDISwrapper...!!!!

Well I guess I should be thankful, and am, now let the games begin!!!!!

So I Guess NDISwrapper ROCKS after all!!!!!

Mark

THANKS ALL especialy you JeanBrownHarrel

I have a probelm when installed my wifi Realtyek 8187
(My notebook is Toshiba Satelite A215-S7437)

Please, give me a clue to solve this problem. I'll apreciate your help.
Thanx

I hope this is the solution...I would glad to be a help like Jean was for me....

re: permission denied.... type sudo before your command (Super User Do)
i.e) sudo ./wlan0up

Mark

and P.S.has anyone found solutions to use encrypted wpa with the modified and patched 8187b... sad to say it still doesn't function with wpa's...arghhhh making it useless for a laptop!!!!!!

Argh, the problem not finish yet

suryo@suryo-laptop:~/rtl8187b-modified$ sudo ./wlan0up
sudo: unable to resolve host suryo-laptop
suryo@suryo-laptop:~/rtl8187b-modified$

Please, give me another advice(I hope Jean may find the solution).
Thanx

I am just a NEWBY but this sounds similar to problems I had. WHen installing the driver with the make and make install commands, the folder (and more importantly) some files inside must have the permissions selected as execute (R. click -- properties -- permissions -- check execute) for example when installing the 8187 driver....

I dont know if that helps... just a thought.
