Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 not working on Core (tried tce-ab packages)

[pan]

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.

[pan]

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?

[Juanito]

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

[pan]

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"?

[pan]

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

[pan]

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

[Juanito]

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.

[pan]

I don't know how to do that yet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0xuPaNbyFdsWkd5dG54S2s5QVE/view?usp=docslist_api]]]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0xuPaNbyFdsWkd5dG54S2s5QVE/view?usp=docslist_api]

Here's what I get, which seems very similar to yours...

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.

[pan]

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