Can't connect to Wifi network
I am using mageia 2.0 on an external HDD,
it boots up well, the LAN port is working, my wifi is Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030, I download the driver and put it in /lib/firmware, the wifi network can be detected, a few names of wifi were displayed, I choose my network, and I key in password, but when I click connect, it says connection error. |

This card is supported by the iwlwifi driver since kernel version 2.6.36. Open a konsole, as root run the command 'lspci -v'. This will dump out many lines of information. look through the lines, and find the ones for your wireless card. Copy and paste all the lines here. The last line should show the kernel driver you have loaded. I would expect this driver would be part of Magia 2. You should not have to download it. Most drivers found this way are source code, and you have to compile the source to get the binary file to load with the modprobe command. Is this what you did? |
I did not setup my wifi during installation.
so I download from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads choose 1. 6030 Images – for Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230, Wireless-N 1030, Wireless-N 130 and Advanced-N 6235 iwlwifi-6000g2b-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz 01-20-12 17:46:20 R L But this does not work 2. It prompts me for this 5000 Images - for Intel Wireless WiFi 5100AGN, 5300AGN, and 5350AGN iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1-1.tar.gz 12-08-11 14:38:00 R L It works, I can see my wifi name. I enter password, and connect, but failed. |

You have the driver loaded, your last post shows "Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi". iwlwifi is the driver. |

NO, it is not solved yet,
it just connected by itself, but there is still a problem, after using internet for a few minutes, suddenly it can not surf the net, though the WIFI is still connected. I do not why? I disconnect the wifi, and use the LAN cable, it works, so it is not my modem problem. Very weird. |

so I use the other one, and it recognized. |
Quote:
What is "the other one"??? I can not see your system, you need to be specific. To make this card work, you need the iwlwifi driver loaded in the kernel. You can tell if it is loaded by the command '/sbin/lsmod | grep iwlwifi' or by looking at '/sbin/lspci -v' and the last line of the hardware information will show the kernel module loaded. All commands without the quotes. You need the ucode file in /lib/firmware. As far as I can tell, this file Quote:
If you have those conditions met, the rest becomes configuration. What distro, version and release? Are you using Network Manager, or WICD to configure it? What is the output of the command '/sbin/ifconfig' ? Have you got a router? What is it's configuration? Is it a DHCP server? Have you configured DNS? |
I mean I download this one and unpack,
Quote:
I have to disconnect it, and reconnect. |
I setup by clicking the network icon on the taskbar,
it opens a setting windows, i can choose my wifi and key in the password to connect. |

it is DHCP, no need Proxy settings. ---------- Post added 12-19-12 at 11:14 PM ---------- It is ipv 4 only, so ipv 6 is not selected. |

Only thing I can suggest, is try the system in another area ( move the system ) where this service is working for others. Possibly someone here has experience with 4G Wimax, and can suggest some more things. I summary, next time you open a thread, provide more information up front. I would have never responded to a thread knowing I know very little about this service. Much time has been lost by both of us. |
I believe the driver of wifi is correct,
network setting is also correct. right now my solution is to "disconnect and connect" whenever the connection does not work, this solution works. I am not sure why is it like that, this does not happen in Ubuntu. |
while there are a lot of very competent people here to help
it sounds like this might be a mageia specific problem may I suggest asking at the official magiea forums https://forums.mageia.org/en/index.php if this is still a problem |
I need to connect/disconnect a few times, then it works.
I consider problem solved. D |
