How Do I Select With Grep And Awk Only ONE Text Content In A Script

Hey all,

I just did a Debian minimal install and am using the package network-manager-gnome to manage wifi. I should also mention I'm running OpenBox. Anyway, network-manager shows up just fine in my systemtray and it lets me connect and displays that I am connected in the system tray. However, when I try to connect to a website it will just say "connecting" for a very long time before timing out. Note that my ethernet works perfectly.

If it helps, this is what shows up in iwconfig after I've "connected" to a network through network-manager:

Code:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"The Stack Resident Wifi"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:5.24 GHz  Access Point: 54:3D:37:02:A5:CC   
          Bit Rate=13 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=33/70  Signal level=-77 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:154   Missed beacon:0

I've searched in many places and I couldn't find someone who had a similar problem. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

I want to write a Python script. In order to write it I need to figure out how to access the values associated with my signal level and bit rate.

If I use the following command

Code:

iwconfig | grep 'Signal level'

I get:

eth0 no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.

Link Quality=70/70 Signal level= -38 dBm


Obviously, I don't want Signal level. I want whatever it happens to be. In this case, it happens to be -38. Ditto Bit Rate...How do I grab -38 from the command line?

Hi,
i'm new in kali linux.
i have an issue with the wifi connections.
installing the newwst version of kali from the official website on virtual box.
plug the USB wireless adapter (TP-LINK).
also, i noticed wlan0 on #ifconfig command.
on the network setting configure NAT (also tried with NAT bridged)

my problem is that - i cannot see any wireless networks.
i followed few guides from youtube and here but with no luck.
it show me that i'm wired connected.
i attached screenshot bellow.
please kindly assist me.


additional information:
#airmon-ng start wlan0
when i type #ifconfig, i saw that wlan0 changed to wlan0mon
and with#airodump-ng command on wlan0mon i didn't see any wireless network as well

Puppy linux 5.7.1 full install...

Until recently, the "Simple Network Setup" was working fine -- it's what I used to set up my wi-fi connection on installation, and it has been connecting on boot ever since. But a few days ago, it just stopped working.

(I did find a mention on another forum that "PRecord" in combination with "Retrovol" had been discovered to have a bug that wrote spurious files to a /dev directory, which rang a bell with me, because I happen to have used exactly that program within the last few days, but this may be *completely* a red herring.)

At the moment, I *can* get onto my home network, but I am doing it by opening terminal windows and running wpa_supplicant and dhcpd manually; I'd rather let the OS tools do it for me; call me lazy!

What works is...
In a terminal, I invoke
Code:

wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd &

and when that process has done its stuff, I invoke dhcpcd and it connects.

That wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this
Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1

network={
	ssid="Belkin_Router"
	scan_ssid=1
	psk="MyKeyInPlainForm"
proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	pairwise=TKIP
	group=TKIP
	priority=1
}

and my most recent successful connection was as follows
Code:

# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd &
[1] 16955

What *doesn't* work is using the "Simple Network Setup" tool. (Nor do the alternative Puppy network tools, but their logs aren't as readily available.) For what it's worth, if I run from a Live CD, it works every time, but from my full install, when I start that tool, it reports on detected interfaces, and I click on wlan0 to configure it... it scans for and finds my network, and I tell it that the network is WPA secured, and supply the key. It then attempts to connect, and fails. Can a savvy reader get any clues from the following?

When I tell it about the WPA security and enter the key, it writes (and then I presume attempts to use) the following wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:

# (this is written as wpa_supplicant.conf-Belkin_Router-64:70:02:EC:BC:4E)
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=0

network={
 ssid="Belkin_Router"
 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
 psk=MyKeyEncodedSomehowInAMuchLongerTextLine
}

and its failure is logged as follows
Code:

Thanks in advance!

I installed Linux Mint on my Dell Latitude D630 Wi Fi and I love it!! While the lap top was wired to the internet, I could do anything I wanted to do.

But I have wifi. And, the steps I found online did not help me get wifi set up.

When I type "iwconfig" from the command line, it says "no wireless extensions"

Please help. I need this.

I am totally new to Linux. However, considering the many advantages of the operationg comparing to other OS, i have decided to go ahead with using MINT Rebacca which is the latest version. Initially for some time i did not have any issues in getting my internet connecton. However, for the last one week I am unable to connect through. The results of various terminal commands i applied is given below with a sincere trust somebody would be there to help me out.

Wth regards Anil Kumar

The most recent info on this card is about 10 years old.

The story is that I had an old dying PC with a vast accumulation of dust, causing sparks to fly.
I transferred the disk & wireless card across to a "known good PC" - and "amazingly" it worked.

This lasted for about a week.
OS is Xubuntu 12.04 and recommended updates of an unknown nature were applied from repositories & PPA's (not by me).

Soon after, wireless on the ancient Netgear wg311t PCI card failed.
I've tried moving it to a different slot - still does not work.
I've tried booting up from a Xubuntu 14.04.2 DVD - still does not work.
The two slots give slightly different results to the command Code:

dmesg | grep ath5k

First slot Code:

[   63.714417] ath5k 0000:05:06.0: registered as 'phy0'
[   63.733142] ath5k: phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
[   63.733482] ath5k: probe of 0000:05:06.0 failed with error -5

Second slot Code:

[   13.594859] ath5k 0000:05:08.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC3] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[   13.594943] ath5k 0000:05:08.0: registered as 'phy0'
[   13.606136] ath5k phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
[   13.606531] ath5k 0000:05:08.0: PCI INT A disabled
[   13.606768] ath5k: probe of 0000:05:08.0 failed with error -5

I'm prepared to buy a replacement card - so long as it is cheap!

I am not sure how to ask this, sorry.

if I had a code like this

Code:

# grep -a ": " md5list.txt | cut -f2,3 -d

How can I run the command basename for each line of the output?

basename {(grep -a ": " md5list.txt | cut -f2,3 -d )}


EDIT: A little more clarity on what im doing:
I didn't realize that 'md5sums' was a link to a nice formatted page. So I copied all packages here and put them into a text file. I decided to write a script that put all of these in that format.

So basically, even though I have already ran the md5sum -c 'md5sum-list' I still want to finish this small project because I am learning a ton.

I am currently running a Minimal version of Centos 6.6 Ive searched all over the internet to see if anyone has seen this problem before. I can do a iwlist scan wlan0 and see my AP but it will not connect. I have encryption turned off. Ive tried to use a static and DHCP address in the ifcfg-wlan0 file. I used a laptop to verify that I am able to connecto to my AP and get an IP address so I know the AP is functioning properly.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
