Yeah, but with three different distros each one with different versions of
NetworkManager? And Parabola for example uses wifi-menu which also does not
work
Well, I have just tried to do what you told me to in both Parabola (Mate iso)
and Trisquel and it still didn't work,
it continued timing out and sometimes asked again for the password, and I'm
pretty sure I typed it correctly because I checked it at least twice. Is it
possible that my router
Sorry to hear that. I ran out the tips on this one :(
Your card should work. Indeed the very same fact you are able to "scan" for
networks means the card works AFAIK. I had this behavior with a card once in
Debian and the solution for me was to not write the password when the popup
window requesting for it came out but instead add in in
Sorry, that may have been what I did then, as I got it to work.
The original card was not compatible but the card I'm using now is:
https://h-node.org/wifi/catalogue/en/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/wifi-works/undef?search_string=ar9227=Search
I agree if it can scan it should work. Maybe it is on the router side, like
WPS enabled? But I don't imagine it cares what OS you are using.
Have you tried rebooting the router to clear it's cache?
We assign IPs manually on my LAN and recently changed the IP of one computer.
The router
Yeah, sorry for the delay, I tried the command but did not work either
Thanks for all your help. At the end I bought a repeater and I now use it as
an external antenna so I can connect to Internet using a ethernet cable
connected to it. I installed Parabola (I do like trisquel but I prefer to
always have the latest packages) and everything is working now
The problem is that your Wifi card isn't compatible with free software
(frimware) because the manufacturer decided to only provide a binary blob
(propietary, of course) without the source code. Trisquel nor another
FSF-endorsed distribution don't provide propietary firmware
If you have
I had the same issue with a usb-wifi dongle purchased at Tehnoetic. Tiberiu
gave me the helpful advice to log out and in again - not rebooting, log out,
then in
try also:
sudo service network-manager restart
Another brief use of searx gave me this command, can you try it and see?
echo 'options ath9k nohwcrypt=1' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf
reboot the OS and try connecting ag'in
Just tried out and did not work either. Could there be any differences
between the ath9k module of linux and the one that linux-libre has? After
all, the only distros not working are those with linux-libre (even when they
are supposed to)
Excuse me! I haven't read correctly the card name. Most Qualcomm cards are
freedom friendly, with exception of a few models.
The story goes something like this. I wanted to move to a completely Free
Software distro, and when I tried a Trisquel image on my PC I couldn't get my
wireless hardware to work (the problem resulted to be privative firmware
dependant hardware), so I bought a card that was supposed to work
It should work. Maybe there is an issue with NetworkManager.
Actually, my workaround was suspend and resume, not log out and log in. :-)
