I tce-ab installed what's listed in the wireless Wiki page, and firmware-intel and iwlwifi. iwconfig still says no wireless connections. I downloaded a ucore firmware file from Intel's site but didn't know what to do with it. I'm running an x86 OS on a 64 machine to use less space. Thanks in advance.

Pending the results of "lsusb" for your hardware, you need to load firmware-intel before you load iwlwifi and then load and use the wifi extension.

If this doesn't work, then the last few lines of "dmesg" would be useful in troubleshooting.

By load, do you mean tce-ab, "s" key, query, type number of correct tcz, "q" key when documentation comes up, "i" for install, and then "q" to quit?

Yes, but once you've done that, the next time "tce-load -i extension_name" will be enough

lsusb doesn't show my wireless because it's PCI, I think, and lspci says the model in the subject title as the last entry. iwconfig shows wlan0 and empty-ish stats. https://plus.google.com/+DanielHithereClemente/posts/3sxz84Bh1bH

Did you do as suggested above (load firmware-intel then iwlwifi then wifi)?

What was the output of "sudo wifi.sh" and "dmesg | tail -20"?

Yes, and it worked. Sorry for not making it clearer. wifi.sh successfully recognized the network I want to connect to. I put in the password, it looked like it worked, but I couldn't download anything with tce, so I think it failed. https://plus.google.com/+DanielHithereClemente/posts/RitRDAb821b

Look at the output, it appears to have worked, but it also looks like you possibly had a wired link, eth0, up?

To be sure that the wireless link is working, it might be better to kill the wired link before connecting:
Code: [Select]
$ ps aux | grep udhcpc
 2555 root     /sbin/udhcpc -b -i eth0 -x hostname boxdell -p /var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid
14804 tc       grep udhcpc
$ sudo kill 2555

..and then, after connecting with wireless:
Code: [Select]
$ ping -c2 google.com

Nothing. Check out my G+ page again. Am I supposed to ifconfig wlan0 up?

It'd be easier to follow if you copy/pasted the appropriate lines of dmesg here..

..but no, you shouldn't need "ifconfig wlan0 up".

I'm using an intel wireless 7260 and it works fine without that.

Hi pan

I don't know how to do that yet.
You could redirect the output of the command into a file. For example:
Code: [Select]
dmesg | tail -20 >dmesg.txtThis will create a file called  dmesg.txt  which you can now open with an editor so you can copy and paste.

It works now, thanks, but sometimes it's slow for some reason.
