Re: "Wireless is disabled" message

2009-09-03 Thread Thomas O'Donoghue
I never received a reply when I sent my details, so I changed my network
manager to WICD and everything worked straight away. I didn't want to
because it's very aggressive (it deletes all other network managers before
it installs and the user interface doesn't have as many features) but WICD's
allowed me to connect to everything without any problems.

Hope this helps,

Tom

Hi all,
   I also met this problem. The root cause maybe different. Below is my
findings in my case.
When the problem occur, the dbus call

val = _nm_object_get_boolean_property (NM_OBJECT (client),
  NM_DBUS_INTERFACE,
  "WirelessHardwareEnabled");
in function nm-clent.c - update_wireless_status() failed.

This problem happen when the NetworkManager daemon is busy with another dbus
call and do not return. This only happened when NetworkManager first start.
When the problem occur, restart the nm-applet can fix this. It seems some
daemon dbus call(with supplicant? driver issue?) too long block the
nm-applet dbus call and make it fail?

To fix this, I simply comment the nm-applet codes about check this because
my device do not have killswitch. Of course the fix is just for my
device^_^.

Yup, looks like there's a killswitch turned on.  What's the output for
both of the following?

cat /sys/class/rfkill/*/state

and then

cat /sys/class/rfkill/*/type


?

Cheers for your reply, Stuart. I followed the instructions on the link you
sent, but it's still the same. I think the computer's supported the card all
along (and it worked when the laptop had windoze installed) but I can't
enable wireless (see pic in this thread, a screenshot from a while back:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1151646#post7230668).

Ok, sounds like rfkill issues then.  Can you grab the output of
'nm-tool' for me?  Also, what does:

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager 
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get 
string:org.freedesktop.NetworkManager string:WirelessHardwareEnabled

Re: "Wireless is disabled" message

2009-05-11 Thread Thomas O'Donoghue
No, I never suspend or hibernate my computer (it doesn't work: another
problem to fix later!).

To summarise: My computer acknowledges the existence of the wireless cards,
but it won't let me connect to the internet via wireless (see pic in this
thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1151646). When my laptop
arrived with windows on, the external (belkin) wireless card picked up the
internet. The intel wireless card doesn't work.

The person in the linked conversation had exactly the same problem, and the
solution he arrived at in the thread he started in Fedora Forums was:

"After not getting answers in this forum i inquired at the NetworkManager
mailing list, and got the above information. I was told that NetworkManager
code "honors" and checks the HAL killswitch, with no user option to make it
NOT honor it (software author's decision).

however, the author(s) were kind enough to share a quick hack of the source
code to disable the honoring of the killswitch, which worked like a charm,
making NetworkManager detect and control my removable WiFi card."

If it helps, I'm using Linux Mint. The first time I plugged in the wireless
card it acknowledged it and set up the drivers for it, which is why I think
it's Network Manager which believes the wireless kill switch to be "off"
when it is in fact hooked up to a defective wireless device. I did read
somewhere that Network Manager honours the kill switch, and uses it for ALL
network devices rather than allowing control of individual devices. I think
there's a clear argument that the downstream user should be able to enable
and disable individual devices, in the event they have a problem like mine.

Regards,

Tom

"Wireless is disabled" message

2009-05-10 Thread Thomas O'Donoghue
I found out about this list through the forum mentioned in the following
thread:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-September/msg00256.html

and appear to have the same problem. The person appealed to you guys and
seemed to get a fix: I looked through the messages, but was unable to deduce
what that fix was. I have the same problem (my internal Intel wireless card
doesn't work, so I think the computer automatically assumes that the
wireless switch is set to "off"). I'm using an external card, but cannot
enable wireless to use it.

Could you please help, as I've exhausted 3 forums and every google search
term I can think of!

Many regards,

Tom
