Puppy Linux Network Tools Won't Connect On Boot, Though I Can Connect Manually

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:

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

i got a nasty isue here.
for my machine i want to make a checkup script to see to what wireless network i am connected to.

if i type iwconfig i get below output.
Code:

 iwconfig
wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"APqwerty"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.447 GHz  Access Point: 72:6B:D3:36:29:44

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:7339  Invalid misc:83573   Missed beacon:0

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

With a grep awk combo i manage to narow it down.
Code:

  iwconfig | grep ESSID |awk '{ /ESSID/; print $4 }'
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

ESSID:"APqwerty"

why it also shows lo and eth0 ,i dont know, but ok.

i tried several combo's on grep, awk, even cut.
i only want to catch the ESSID to where i am connected to, in this case APqwerty.
i know i am missing something, but cant find out what it is, any advice ?

Minimal Centos 6.6 Wifi Can Scan And See APs But Will Not Connect To An AP

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

Running Centos 6.6 Minimal
WIadapter : ASUS USB-N13
Ive installed the following:

Network Manager States That I Am Connected, But I Cannot Connect To Any Webpage

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:

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

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

Need To Install The N53 PCI Network Card From Asus Without Installing Anything Before

Hi

I am new to kali linux and have got a fresh install with all the current updates (without any new repositories). I am really interested in aircrack and wifi exploitation. But before i can do any of that i need to install my second network adapter, the asus n53 pcie. I am able to type this because my motherboard came with its own intergrated wifi adapter, the aetheros (something). That was working out of the box as soon as kali linux was installed, however i need a proper network adapter (the n53) to make use of my 3rd party long range antenna (it can pick up networks over 600m away ).

I am attempting to install my asus n53 pcie network adapter but have had no success at all, most likely because i have no idea what to do once i have extracted the driver. Currently it is sitting in my home folder. It has a few folders and files in it, with these being the folders

(chips, common, include, os, rate_ctrl, sta and tools)

and these being the files

(iwpriv_usage.txt, makefile, readme_sta_pci, rt2860STA.dat, rt2860staCarddat, sta_ate_iwpriv_usage.txt.)

In the readme file it says this in the instructions:

1> $tar -xvzf DPB_RT2860_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x.tgz
go to "./DPB_RT2860_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x" directory.

2> In Makefile
set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX"
define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC
modify to meet your need.

3> In os/linux/config.mk
define the GCC and LD of the target machine
define the compiler flags CFLAGS
modify to meet your need.
** Build for being controlled by NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant wext functions
Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'.
=> #>cd wpa_supplicant-x.x
=> #>./wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d
** Build for being controlled by WpaSupplicant with Ralink Driver
Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n'.
=> #>cd wpa_supplicant-0.5.7
=> #>./wpa_supplicant -Dralink -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d

4> $make
# compile driver source code
# To fix "error: too few arguments to function ��iwe_stream_add_event"
=> $patch -i os/linux/sta_ioctl.c.patch os/linux/sta_ioctl.c

5> $cp RT2860STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat

6> load driver
#[kernel 2.4]
# $/sbin/insmod rt2860sta.o
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up

#[kernel 2.6]
# $/sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up

7> unload driver
$/sbin/ifconfig ra0 down
$/sbin/rmmod rt2860sta

And this to me looks like another language. I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT if someone could give me step by step instructions on how to install this, without skipping on anything. I will even pay 10000 dogecoin if someone helps me! I have been searching youtube tutorials for 3 hours (lol) for it and havent found anything. Please help me!

Thanks

Disconnected - You Are Now Offline

Hello,
I am a long time Windows user. When XP got old I was like everyone else. Left with what to do. I purchased copies of Win 7 & got those working ok. I am just so tired of Microsoft products. So I took some time & I have read and researched several articles about Linux, Ubuntu, Zorin et al. Earlier this week I loaded a new Zorin OS9 from a DVD into a HP Compaq nx9420. The install worked flawlessly. Damn it is such an easy product to use. Bravo! I have an issue that has been experienced by many newbies. I found several answers to this same question. I read through several replies and went into terminal and typed in the directions. I am still stumped. I need some assistance. I hope someone has the time. I cannot connect to the internet through wireless.

The laptop has a Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG Wireless network card.

I typed in:

Code:
dmesg | grep iwl

Here is the reply:

No Wireless Networks Found Error After Update

Hi,

I have Kali linux and updated it a few days ago and now when I search for networks after going into monitor mode it tells me "no wireless networks found". before the update, monitor mode used to be "mon0" After the update, after entering monitor mode it says "wlan0mon" not sure if this helps. I use Wicd network manager but the origional network manager also cant see any wireless networks, it says "device not managed".

Thanks
