I used the Netgear dongle which is a guaranteed supported device Only in the desktop I reached the point to have the wireless manager showing my hotspot in this case from my phone but even then it couldn’t establish connection using the dongle in laptops i get always “ failed to restart wireless connection “ I will post some screenshots
- Make sure you have selected the device supported by your Wi-Fi card
- Go to the ‘Wireless Network’ tab
- Manually enter the Wi-Fi network details and password (see my screenshot for an example)
- The network should work straight away
- If it doesn't work, try restarting AROS
I do something wrong I idn't manage so far to have a a conection in any of the laptops I didn't check all yet but can't be right I miss something here , I also get the NETGEAR usb same thing same message only in the desktop the veriton it opened the wifimanager on desktop but no connections . Ok In the case of Toshiba A200 I can't see easy the internal wifi I must unscrew the whole bottom in devlist apears the atheros5000 but beyond that nothing here I take the log
Hi
thanks for help , the wifi card is working because as a windows machine was working . If it is the mentioned atheros I don't know actualy I rely upon the specs of the machine , I check the afternoon and I open the case to be sure what is inside and will post again
I do not use wifi but can I ask the following questions?
I take it, the wifi card is AR5BXB63? Does the slot work? Just have atheros5000.device only in IPv4 settings.
The best way to list the available networks and diagnose / troubleshoot problems with connecting to a wireless network is to run WirelessManager manually. First uncheck the "Start networking during system boot" box in the Network prefs app, then save and reboot. Then run this in a shell:
I found this dirty cheap and since is in the compatibility list I grab it it had also ssd installed so it was a nice buy . It is exactly the model A200-1M5 which has the T2450 cpu , all the rest same as A200 PSAE1E . Only problem was it doesn't boot for installation from USB 3.0 it wants USB 2.0 . Please some help with networking . It has the atheros wifi and from the list I see RTL8101E which I don't know to which realtek device coresponds I tried them all I tried the Atheros5000 device which is it's wireless and also thethering with my iphone . Failed to restart wireless networking I get all the cases I miss something please a little help.I put prefs and devlist
