Dear folks,
I am having a difficult time connecting at decent speeds to a wireless network
setup by my nephew with Fedora 14. I installed Fedora 14 on a quad core machine
that had Fedora 12 happily running. IT has a built in wireless device
integrated in it. The installation worked beautifully and connected the first
time around. The driver rtl8187 loaded fine and I browsed the web and applied
all the updates and got new kernel too. I was very happy. I turned off the
machine and yesterday and today tried to connect to internet with it and it not
longer works the way it did the first time :(, I cannot connect to any page like
I did before and networkmanger in KDE tells me that I am connected but cannot
browse. In windows, I can browse the web without troubles, here is output from
ipconfig /all

What can I do in Linux to make my connection work the same way that it did the
first time? I appreciate any advice given and hope all users around the world
have a nice Thanksgiving Holiday :)

@JD
yes, I have checked /etc/resolv.conf and it contains 192.168.1.1 which is what
is in windows it matches.
@Bill
Yes I see two to three bars and it(networkmanager) tells me that I am connected,
yet I cannot surf the net or add updates. I got it working once, but now I
can't anymore :(,
If you have a connect to your access point, then time to ping the AP and be sure
packets are going. Then look at your routing with
netstat -rn
and see if the default route is through the AP. Note that you still might have a
problem with the connect between the AP and the net, if the AP isn't configured
correctly.
Should see something like this:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.41.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.41.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
One step at a time...

I checked wpa_supplicant and I ran
# service wpa_supplicant start
# chkconfig wpa_supplicant on
and like I have posted NM puts up two/three bars that I am connected, but I
can't browse or surf.
Thanks for any tips/advice in this thread.
I did not respond to the previous messages because I reinstalled Fedora 14 on
this machine to see if I could connect like I did the first time, but now I
can't :(
Will check up above error with google 'null' .

Antonio

I read of your saga, which seems rather familiar,
though I have no sensible suggestions.
But can't you run the old network system by
sudo service NetworkManager stop
sudo service network restart
?
Also, I don't think you mentioned trying "sudo iwlist scan".
I find it rather annoying that this often sees my access point,
yet NM does not seem able to link to it.
The error messages ("reason 43") sent out by NM when it fails
are almost completely useless in my experience.

Check your
/etc/resolv.conf
Are you on DHCP or on static IP address?
DHCP usually overwrites /etc/resolv.conf.

I checked wpa_supplicant and I ran
# service wpa_supplicant start
# chkconfig wpa_supplicant on
and like I have posted NM puts up two/three bars that I am connected, but I
can't browse or surf.
Thanks for any tips/advice in this thread.
I did not respond to the previous messages because I reinstalled Fedora 14 on
this machine to see if I could connect like I did the first time, but now I
can't :(
Will check up above error with google 'null' .

Antonio

Dear folks,
I am having a difficult time connecting at decent speeds to a wireless network
setup by my nephew with Fedora 14. I installed Fedora 14 on a quad core machine
that had Fedora 12 happily running. IT has a built in wireless device
integrated in it. The installation worked beautifully and connected the first
time around. The driver rtl8187 loaded fine and I browsed the web and applied
all the updates and got new kernel too. I was very happy. I turned off the
machine and yesterday and today tried to connect to internet with it and it not
longer works the way it did the first time :(, I cannot connect to any page like
I did before and networkmanger in KDE tells me that I am connected but cannot
browse. In windows, I can browse the web without troubles, here is output from

Check your
/etc/resolv.conf
Are you on DHCP or on static IP address?
DHCP usually overwrites /etc/resolv.conf.

Do you get a connection? On the top bar of your desktop (after login) should be
a symbol which looks like a bar graph, indicating the network is connected. If
you hover the mouse over it you will get information.
If you have two little fireballs chasing each other in circles, it means the
wireless can't connect to the router. And if you have a console with an "X"
at
the base, it means the connect was tried and failed.
What to do: if you have the bar graph your issue is with routing, you do have a
connection. See other posts here which have thoughts on that.
If you have no bar graph, but the console and X, clicking on the icon will give
you some status. It may give you a list of available access points, in which
case look for yours and click it on the menu. With luck you will connect and can
come back to ask about making that automatic. Note that you may need to provide
a password if you have your access point set up right. Security is another
issue, but default passwords (or none) are dangerous.
Hopefully that gets you going, or to more info you can report.
