http://www.linuxquestions.org – Published at LXer: In a recent article, I discussed the fact that I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite L675 laptop. I absolutely love the machine, but I did have two problems with it under Fedora 14 64-Bit Edition: * (1). I could not get the wifi to work at all. * (2). I could not get Google Voice to work correctly from within the Chrome web browser. Today, I would like to announce that I have solved problem number 1, and the solution works perfectly. In fact, I am connected to the Internet right now using my new wifi connection. In this article, I will detail the exact steps that I took (HowTos)

Hey guys and gals!

I am having the weirdest problem... I have a work laptop (running Fedora 16) that has connected to my works wifi and ethernet without any problems. I have also connected to the wifi at my girlfriends place without problems. Right now I am at my place and at a total loss for words. I have connected to my home network via wifi and Ethernet...

A colleague has a Toshiba Satellite SA40-702 laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 installed.

At home he has no available fixed broadband connection and wants to use a 3Mobile Huawei E585 dongle to access mobile internet.

We can get the ethernet connection working just fine, but are struggling to get the E585 working, or the wifi adapter in his laptop connected to the 802.11b access point at work.

Hi guys,

my wife has a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XC. I installed 10.04 on the machine when we bought it last year and it's worked fine ever since.

On Friday I ditched my Sky ADSL package (which we never had any problems using) and moved over to BT's Infinity, but I'm having problems with the WiFi.

The laptop can see the router. I can connect to the router.

My Mom bought a laptop last year, it was a low end laptop. It's a Toshiba Satellite C650 I think.

I notice that once the laptop has been idle for awhile, the wireless internet disables, and I have to restart it to get it working again.

The laptop is set up the same as the rest of the computers, and non of the others have any problem with it.

Hi,

I use Natty on a Toshiba Satellite L505-10N.

I have two problems that may or not be related.

The first one is overheating of the computer, even with no activity. The fan is running. As I saw on many topics, that problem might be due to dust in the fan. The computer is over 1 year old and used everyday.

The second problem comes after from 10 minutes to 1 hour.

My daughter's 64 bit Toshiba Satellite L655 suffered from the common Toshiba laptop problem of “Invisible battery” under Fedora 16.

dmesg | grep batt

would report “Battery absent”. This appears to be common with Toshiba laptops under Fedora, Ubuntu, Centos, Debian, and BackTrack Linux. Online research pointed to custom kernels, which sound like a headache; and a simpler way using Grub2.
