If it's an Atheros ethernet device, it may need the newer 2.6.32 kernel from the 8.0 repository--I think that one has the atl1 (?) driver for those cards. The 2.6.27 kernel is missing it.
Can lsusb or lspci see any wifi device? _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |

I cannot access the repos as I cannot get online when I plug a cable in either.

Reading your other thread (different machine) - do you have both of these units at a new location? And were they both working correctly at your original (home) location.
Again from your other thread - I wonder if the new location 's router is set-up correctly? _________________ Desktop - Win 8-64 : Corsair 520HX, P5Q Pro, Q6600 G0 @ 3Ghz, 4Gb DDR2 1066, Asus GTX560 OC, 3xWD 500Gb Sata2, Asus CD/DVD, Logitech Wave Kb, G5, C300 Cam, Audio-gd NFB-12 + LD MKIV + GigaWorks T20.

The E727 is at my home location and is brand new purchased yesterday. I removed M8 and tried installing M8.5 and got ethernet up until I tried to tweak mna then I lost that. I will re-install M8.5 with a brand new install it is quicker than fiddling with mna - which I have always had problems with. Setup the repos and install wicd and go from there. I will discuss the X56A in that thread to prevent confusion.

Great M8.5 (prefer M8 never mind) is running wicd is installed ethernet is running, WICD finds all the local networks, but when I try and log on I get the wrong password message. The password and security option are correct.

Solved but frustrated because the series of moves dont make sense and in the final analysis, I still am not sure of the which order and why process.
## Edit ## Once I had atl1c in /etc/modules it was a matter of bloody minded persistence to get the somewhat difficult marriage between mna and wicd to happen _________________ The simplest things are the hardest to solve P8Z68-V PRO, Intel i7 2600k |
