Mageia forum

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and I am trying to get Mageia 4 running. The wireless will not make a persistent connection. Using the network manager I can see several wireless networks but can not connect to my wireless. While trying to connect, if I ping my wireless router from a terminal I get several 'cannot reach destination host' then I get several 'network unreachable' messages. Thanks for being here.

Please post support-type thread in one of the support subforums, thanks.

Which media did you use to install Mageia, and which desktop environment are you using? Do you use net_applet or NetworkManager?
And please provide the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all: lspcidrake -v | grep -i net ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -ie net -e wpa

and, as root:

Code: Select all: journalctl -b -u network --no-pager -a systemctl status network.service -a journalctl -b | grep -i firmware

Sorry, I forgot - - - I used the DVD using non-free also then I used my wired network interface and used all available core, update and backport repositories and ran urpmi --auto-update.

Please next time use code tags as explained in ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

Ahh, so you cannot even connect at all right? Please show the output of

Code: Select all: iwconfig netstat -rn iw dev wlan0 scan

You probably need to replace wlan0 in the last command by your actual wireless interface name.

You are correct in that I can not connect to any wireless. The blue LED will come on for about 5 seconds then start blinking then it goes off fro 5 is seconds then repeat.

Seems strange. The first time you ran the scan command, it said network down, the second time it scanned ... did you do anything in between, or did you just run the command again?

Anyways, I'd need to know the SSID you want to connect to (hopefully it's not one of the empty ones)

SSID: HOME-D3EF
SSID: velles-guest
SSID: velles
SSID: dlink
SSID: NomadsLand
SSID: NETGEAR26
SSID: HOME-1128
SSID:
SSID:
SSID: The Internets
SSID:

Also, please show the output of

Code: Select all: ls -al /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wl* cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wl* grep -vE '^ *#|^$' /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

(please remove your passphrase/key from the output of the last command)

Hello Doktor5000,

The computer seems to connect for several seconds but I am unable to reach the network. After a few seconds the blue LED (wireless network indicator) goes out for several seconds then comes back on and the cycle repeats. The SSID of my wireless router is Nomadsland. Here are the results of the commands requested:

Thanks.

You defined static IP adressing, is that expected? I'd remove the configuration altogether and redo it, using DHCP.
Please run the following command as root to remove your interface

Code: Select all: drakconnect --del

Then add it again using

Code: Select all: drakconnect

and only provide the key, but leave everything else at default values, then finish and reboot.

Hello Doktor5000,

No joy. The blue LED wireless indicator light is on for 10 -15 seconds then it blinks then goes out then within 1-3 seconds it blinks several times and returns to continuous on - for another 10-15 seconds and repeats the process and still no wireless connection.

Doktor5000,
Do you have any more thoughts or suggestions regarding my Dell laptop that will not connect wirelessly?
David

by **linuxero** » May 9th, '14, 22:44

Have you tried to connect manually in a terminal?

by **dlrapp** » May 10th, '14, 16:25

I am not sure I understand your question. What command does one issue in a terminal to connect the wireless?

David

Check e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi ... nual_setup

I have had what looks very much like the same problem (BCM43228 on a Dell Latitude E6530) - sorry, saw this thread only now :

Digging around, I found that

That suggested the working hypothesis that there is an imcompatibility in the impelementation of the DHCP protocol between Linux (and Android) and the Zyxel router: I got rid of my Zyxel router (which, anyhow, is better if used as an electric heater) and bought a Fritzbox router. No problem any more (both with my laptop and my tablett).

Is your WLAN connected via such a Zyxel router?
