[solved] networking on eee pc 1005ha-mu17

I installed arch on my netbook, but I cannot get it to connect to any networks.

output of ifconfig -a:

lo             Link encap:Local Loopback
               inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

I downloaded the ethernet drivers refered to in the arch wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_Eee_PC_1005HA
and transfered the package to my netbook with a usb hard drive, then successfully made the package, but when I try to install with "sudo pacman -U atheros-wired-1005-ha-1.0.0.10-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz" I get an error saying there's a conflicting file: atheros-wired-1005-ha: /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/atl1e.ko exists in filesystem

How can I get wireless working or get the ethernet card working on this? Neither one is working right now. I added wlan0 to my rc.conf and set it as dhcp. I am on a college network, it has wifi, but requires people to go to a web browser and sign in before connecting to the network. I contacted CIT here but no one has given me a reply. Let me know if anyone needs the output to anything, and I will post it.

The wireless card seems like its being recognized.... maybe I just need to configure it properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated. big_smile

Hey! I have the same model and what I usually do after a fresh install is that I download the newest kernel and kernel26 firmware from mirrors, copy to netbook with a usb stick, install, reboot smile The newest kernels seem to recognize everything. That is assuming you will install the newest kernel anyway.

Ok, that sounds good.

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/kernel26/
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/ … -firmware/

Looks like I install the firmware first and then the kernel? Do I need any other packages? I"m going to try this out! Thanks so much!

Re: [solved] networking on eee pc 1005ha-mu17

I installed the newest kernal and fireware. Still no connection and now when I do ifconfig -a it just lists wlan0 and lo, the third option I got before doesn't show up.

In my rc.conf I have

wlan0="dhcp"
interfaces=(wlan0)

When I run dhcpcd wlan0:

dhcpcd: version 5.0.6 starting
dhcpcd: wlan0 interface not found or invalid
dhcpcd: timed out

Do I need to add a module to load at boot in rc.conf? It doesn't seem like my ethernet is being detected. I ran lspci -v and my atheros wireless network adaptor showed up, but not the ethernet.

I am on a school network, so I'm sure how I would get wifi to connect, I think the ethernet would be the best option for updating the system... but if I could get wifi up that would work as well. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [solved] networking on eee pc 1005ha-mu17

Okay. I booted into windows 7...and the wifi and ethernet doesn't work there either... Windows says that the wireless adaptor is enabled and working normally, but won't connect to anything or detect any networks. In device manager the ethernet port doesn't even show up....

I'm going to make sure all the drivers are installed, and if this doesn't fix things, I'm going to take the computer into the shop to see if the nic card needs replacing. ><

It was working a few days ago....

Re: [solved] networking on eee pc 1005ha-mu17

I have actually had smilar problems and if I'm not mistaken there has been quite a few threads about this problem. As far as I remember removing the battery and letting it sit for a few seconds worked for me.

kermana beat me to it. Try taking the battery out and back in. I know it sounds nuts, but that worked for me - made my eth0 interface magically re-appear.

Re: [solved] networking on eee pc 1005ha-mu17

Ok, so I unplugged the battery and also installed the wired kernel module for the 1005ha. Now when I do lspci -v the Ethernet controller and wireless show up!

Added eth0 to my rc.conf and now I can connect to the network with Ethernet.

I can make connections out, but don't get any packets back, which I am really sure is caused by my school's network authentication. I'm going to install wc3 or elinks or something and see if I can log into the network... otherwise I'll see if I can't get a network authentication exemption.

thanks for your help!

I used an ubuntu live usb to chroot into arch and finish up the installation. Thanks for all your help!
