Asked by Richard Ryan Cadwalader

ASUS 56E Laptop with a Centrino Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150. The WiFi connection is grayed-out. I can connect through the ethernet port. Wifi not so much. I think the wireless adapter is missing the driver? How do I fix that?

The following Terminal output (that you sent us) seems to indicate the
issue that your wireless card is having:

"
0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: yes
 Hard blocked: no
1: asus-wimax: WiMAX
 Soft blocked: yes
 Hard blocked: no
3: phy1: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: yes
 Hard blocked: no

"

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 2 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 .

You could also try resetting the BIOS values to default values and then rebooting and retesting again.

Nothing in the BIOS seemed to point to the card being blocked. I did reset the BIOS to default settings. I also changed the state of rfkill to unblock all. Nothing is blocked. I still can't get a WiFi connection. The Authentication window keeps popping up asking for a password, it tries to connect but can't, and then it pops up again. The password is correct, my networks are all present and accounted for, I just can't make the connection.

It seems to me that maybe the correct driver isn't installed?

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.

The methods in Unity are:
Press Control-ALT-T key combination.
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 scan | egrep -i 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep '02:00|80211|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rror|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt5|rt6|rt7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep '80211|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'; netstat -rn ; cat /etc/resolv.conf; 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

The terminal would not allow me to scroll up to the original command prompt, like it was too much output for the terminal. I'll post what I got. Do you want me to go back and run each command seperately and then post each command's output?

I believe your wireless adapter is experiencing the following bug, for which there is no solution yet:

A similar issue is described here:

Do you dual boot the system?

Revision history for this message
Richard Ryan Cadwalader (rcadwalader) said : 		#7

No. The wireless adapter was actually working fine, when I used to dual boot with Windows 8. I got another laptop with Windows 8. I decided to delete the Windows 8 partition on the ASUS, do a fresh install, and just run Ubuntu 12.10. Now I can't get the WiFi working.

Do you have a switch to enable / disable the wifi, or a shortcut combo? If so press it and retry connection. If not then try:

sudo rfkill unblock all

Richard Ryan Cadwalader (rcadwalader) said : 		#10

I found a psuedo-answer on the 12.04 LTS forum. As I said earlier, Ubuntu worked fine when I dual booted with Windows. I originally had 12.04 running with Windows, then upgraded to 12.10. When I first installed 12.04 I had some connection issues and resolved them thanks to this post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1963201

Anyway, I pulled up the terminal, typed in:

sudo modprobe -r iwlagn
sudo modprobe iwlagn bt_coex_active=0

And BANG! I'm back in business!

I then proceeded to add the command to the /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf file.

Unfortunately, writing the command to a file did not result in the wireless staying on after rebooting. The file is still there but the wireless won't work unless I do the modprobe commands again.

Can you offer any solutions to this problem?

Thanks for the help.

I was looking through the output from the other day and realized that if I changed the commands to:

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0
gksu edit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

and then added:

options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0

to the file. Save and Quit.

Guess what dudes? The Wireless Works! It even works after a reboot.

Thanks Mark, you put me on the right path. I just needed a little support to figure it out.

Well done, Richard! Thanks for sharing the solution with us, as this will definitely help others.

Please set the thread to status "solved", if the issue is still solved.

I now noticed that you have used the following solution:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/876147/comments/16

The solution mentions this:

"Note: 'iwlagn' becomes 'iwlwifi' on kernel >=3.1 " which is the case here.

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.
