ASUS U56E-BAL7 Wireless authentication not working
Hello.I just purchased an ASUS U56E-BAL7
This is a newer model that seems to be a BestBuy exclusive (yes I am not afraid to admit that). It is actually a great PC. I love it. Only thing is, Linux seems not to like the wireless card, and I really want to run Linux as my primary OS. The symptoms: When I boot into any Live distribution (in this case Ubuntu), the PC sees the various SSIDs in the ether around my home, but the little wifi LED on the actual PC case is not illuminated as it is when I boot into Windows 7. Back to the OS - so when I click on my home SSID under Ubuntu, I am prompted to authenticate, which I do, and it just hangs. After a few long moments, it prompts me to authenticate again. I am pasting lspci, dmesg and syslog messages below in the hopes that someone can assist. Many thanks! ================ lspci ================ 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev b5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev b5) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 6 (rev b5) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM65 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150 (rev 67) 03:00.0 USB Controller: ASMedia Technology Inc.

Resolved
Soon after posting this. I found the solution here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/876147 Note: 'iwlagn' becomes 'iwlwifi' on kernel >=3.1 For those that did not read the upstream bug, the fix for this issue is to: sudo modprobe -r iwlagn sudo modprobe iwlagn bt_coex_active=0 To make the change permanent: gsku gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwl.conf Copy/paste this line into the new file: options iwlagn bt_coex_active=0 |
I noticed after following this, that I am not able to put any card I plug into my machine into monitor mode. Has anyone else run across this issue?
*Update - Apparently this is because the program I used to put the card into Monitor mode (airmon-ng) does not play well with new chipsets http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=45039 instead of Quote:
