 Re: getting Wireless networking to work
this is a good lesson on why i will always stick with Mepis on all of my other PC's. what i am finding out about straight Debian in regards to wireless is that you basically have got to build the wireless networking up by hand. i just was hoping that the more experienced Linux users present on this forum could come up with, or give me a idea on what to do. |

Re: getting Wireless networking to work
Is this after hitting the refresh button in Wicd. Where image says eth1. You need to type in wlan0. _________________ Antix 11 on Asus EEEPC 900, 2 gig ram, 4gig/-16gig/home SSD.

Re: getting Wireless networking to work
i did that, originally, there was no entry for that interface at all. i manually typed in wlan0. i did however found the problem under the advanced tab, the wrong wpa supplicant was used. i made a different selection from the drop down menu & immediately, it listed my wireless network. i closed wicd, rebooted, checked & verified it was working by opening up iceweasle & going to the mepislovers forum page. it works fine a BIG THANKS goes to all of you. |
