Configuring Wireless network

**Vantasia** · 04-20-2010

Hi everybody

I've redhat enterprise 5 and I want to connect to internet by using the wireless. But I can't connect to my wireless network. im using HP Pavilion DV5 And my wireless card
called "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection". I think the red hat found the drivers but i still can't connect . there isn't a way to see a list of all the wireless networks that i can connect to and just hit connect ?.

I really need your help. Thanks

Here are the a result list of commands that you might ask me for:

You need firmware for the card.

Enable the rpmforge repo.
RPMforge/Using - RPMRepo Wiki

Then do as root

Code:

yum install iwl5000-firmware
modprobe -r iwlagn; modprobe iwlagn

**Vantasia** · 04-21-2010

Thanks reed for your reply.

I tried to implement as you told me so I started to get to this website pmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using]RPMforge/Using - RPMRepo Wiki

when I execute the command wget with the rest of link, it gave me this result with error

Code:

# wget rest of the website here
--2010-04-21 03:39:54--  
Resolving packages.sw.be... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `packages.sw.be'

Sorry I omitted http because this website doesn't allow me to mention http in my post because I'm juniour member so I didn't make any mistake in writing the command.
So what should I do. Another question what is the purpose of this rpm?

Thanks a lot for your cooperation

**reed9** · 04-21-2010

I suspect you're using the wrong link. Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit?

32 bit, do

Code:

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

64 bit

Code:

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

I checked and both links are valid.

What this is doing is enabling the rpmfusion software repository.

The firmware has some licensing restrictions and the official RHEL repos don't provide the package. rpmfusion is a 3rd party, but well trusted repository, that has various non-free software that otherwise can't be distributed.

**Vantasia** · 04-23-2010

thanks dear reed for your help.

Actually I tried to do what you gave me and I made a mistake because I took the first link that ended with .arch. Anyway, now I think it's okay with me.

Code:

it gave me that no firmware is available

Code:

Nothing to do

What should I replace here. Thank you for your cooperation.

**reed9** · 04-23-2010

You skipped the second step. After downloading the rpm package, do

Code:

rpm -Uhv rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

Then you should be able to install the firmware with yum.

Edit: The above needs to be done as root.

Code:

su -c 'rpm -Uhv rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm'

**Vantasia** · 04-23-2010

Thanks dear reed for your help

Now I think it's completed. But when I went to activate my wireless cards I notices something as it said it fails even I couldn't copy what was written because the dialog box disappeared quickly and then I saw it was Activated but I got another problem that I couldn't now connect to internet through Linux even through the lan cable. I don't know what happen exactly. Another question, how can I get the list of my wireless so I can pick up my wireless so I can enter the password as well to get connected?. Now I'm writing from windows. Thank you very much for your cooperation and for your patient.

**Vantasia** · 04-24-2010

Now the network cable is working fine from linux. Could you please tell me where from I can get the dialog box for showing all the list of wireless so I can pick up my wireless signal.

When I want to activate my wireless card I got these message

Code:

Determining IP information for wlan0...PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.29 wlan0: 56(84) bytes of data.

I'm looking forward your reply. Thank you very much.
