RT2800 802.11n PCI [1814:0601] not working on HP Pavilion 06 D5468AT-ABA ALONPAV in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Asked by sladner84

This is my 2nd attempt at trying to fix the Issue I am having with my Linksys WMP600N Wireless PCI Networking card... After I did a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04. the internet would work for a few minutes and then stop.. I would still be connected to my WiFi network.. I just couldnt surf any pages or install any OS updates... I have no idea if its the DNS Resolv issue that many people are having or if its a problem with the Linux driver for my wireless card.. which works perfectly in windows 7.. oh I dual boot ubuntu 12.04 with window 7. the issue that I am having NEVER happened in Ubuntu 11.10..

Thanks for any and all help!

Steven Ladner

if this helps my Wireless Router is a Netgear WNDR3400

I checked it out and re-doing the drivers seems way complicated.. everything said there is like greek to me.. can you perhaps break the process down step by step?

sladner84 (sladner84) said : 		#8

Ok I figured out how to re-do the driver and everything.. and I went to additional drivers and the RT2860sta is displayed and says its activated and currents in use... so I thought ok cool I fixed it.... but when I go to Active Network connections.. under drivers it still says RT2800PCI.. and I still am having the same problem with the internet stops working

Hi,

Please first connect your wired network adapter to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1:

If you are using the Gnome interface, open the Terminal console via "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

If you are using the Unity interface, the easiest way to open the Terminal is to use the 'search' function on the dash. Or you can click on the 'More Apps' button, click on the 'See more results' by the installed section, and find it in that list of applications. A third way, available after you click on the 'More Apps' button, is to go to the search bar, and see that the far right end of it says 'All Applications'. You then click on that, and you'll see the full list. Then you can go to Accessories > Terminal after that.

So the methods in Unity are:
Dash > Search for Terminal
Dash > More Apps > 'See More Results' > Terminal
Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word lsmod. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt5|rt6|rt7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt6|rt7|wmi|witch|wl'; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; ps -aux|egrep 'wpa|icd|etwork'; sudo lsmod

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.

Regards,

Mark Rijckenberg

Do you have a switch to enable / disable the wifi, if so, switch it on. Otherwise you can use:

sudo rfkill unblock all

Then retry the web

I was told that I should try the RT2800sta driver... the only issue is that I cant get it to work... my Wireless card always seems to use the RT2800PCI... and I read somewhere that for my wifi card the driver that I should be using for linux is the 2860sta...but no the ipv6 didnt work

Revision history for this message
Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg) said : 		#32

@sladner84 : Please read the info in the following links, which confirm you should use the rt2800pci driver, NOT the rt2860sta driver:

http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=101159&p=577097
http://wiki.debian.org/rt2800pci

The rt2860sta driver is now obsolete for your card. It was only useful, when you were running 2.6.x kernel versions, NOT for 3.2.0-24-generic....

Your Terminal output above shows the following issues:

issue 1)

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: yes
 Hard blocked: no

[main]
NetworkingEnabled=true
WirelessEnabled=false
WWANEnabled=true
WimaxEnabled=true

So your wireless card is probably disabled by a hardware switch, a
special key combination (Fn-F2, etc...), by incorrect BIOS settings for
wireless, or a COMBINATION of these factors...

There might also be a BIOS option that allows you to have the wireless
functionality controlled "By application"

Search for the "by application" option in the BIOS and select it (if
possible)....

Then reboot and retest wireless.

Also run the following Terminal commands to try to change the rfkill
state of your wireless chipset after rebooting:

rfkill unblock all

sudo rfkill unblock all

Then retest wireless .

issue 2)

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

This configuration is incorrect. Your /etc/network/interfaces configuration file should ONLY contain the following 2 lines:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

issue 3)

    Driver Status: rt2800pci is active
    Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe rt2800pci"
  Driver Info #1:
    Driver Status: rt2860sta is active
    Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe rt2860sta"
  Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
  Attached to: #14 (PCI bridge)

This means both rt2800pci AND rt2860sta are loaded. This is causing a driver conflict between the two.

So you need to blacklist rt2860sta using the Terminal command that actionparsnip already gave you...

4)

I also suggest installing wicd as a replacement for NetworkManager.

After installing wicd using a WIRED Internet connection, reboot and retest wireless.

Hope it helps.

Mark.. my Wireless has always worked... the issue I am having is that it will connect and about 5 min or so later I cant surf any web pages or attempt to check for updates in order to get that working again I have to disconnect from my wireless network and reconnect..

and I have Black listed the 2860Sta driver... and a week or so again I did indeed try Wicd with no solution..

I wish someone would just come here and do this for me :P... I have mastered MIcrosoft Windows OS.. but Linux as awesome as it is.. is becomming tiresome.. but I am still learning..

Revision history for this message
Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg) said : 		#34

So have you tried wicd today, while keeping rt2860sta blacklisted and also after fixing your /etc/network/interfaces configuration file?

It does not matter if you tested wicd a week ago, because at that time, there was probably still the conflict between the 2 wireless drivers...

ok I tried everything that you suggested. and my wifi works while surfing pages but as soon at I try to download something it stops working like it has been... this is so frustrating

I believe the problem is now related to your router configuration:

You have two (maybe even three) SSID's on the same wireless channel (channel 1).

Try putting them on separate wireless transmission channels that are not in use by other wireless access points.

For example: Put SSID "Ladner Computer Repair L.N.A" on wireless channel 8

And put SSID "Ladner Computer Repair" on channel 9

And put SSID "Ladner Computer Repair 5G" on a separate channel that is NOT in use by the other access points.

Another issue is this Terminal output:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"Ladner Computer Repair 5G"
          Mode:Managed Frequency:5.805 GHz Access Point: 30:46:9A:A1:66:5B
          Bit Rate=180 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm

This bit rate of 180 Mb/s may be too high for the rt2800pci driver. So I suggest forcing the wireless router to use 54 MB/s wireless speeds to stabilize the connection. So force the router into "Wireless-G ONLY" mode.

Then retest wireless.

Ladner Computer Repair is a guest account that is in use and my router doesnt give me the option to change channels the other 2 I changed accordingly.. and slowed down my router speed to 54... I will give this a whirl and hope it works
