And, as it works under Windows, > it's not hardware. First try "ethtool -i <name-of-device>" to see what driver is loaded (if any). If you get data back then try "iwlist wlan0 scan" (replace "wlan0" with your device) to see what access points are in the area. If all that works, then the wireless itself is working under Linux and there's something odd about the way NetworkManager (NM) and your device talk to each other. At that point you could try to disable NM and use the wpa_supplicant programs directly to try to get it up (such as running wpa_supplicant in the background and using something like wpa_supplicant_gui to manipulate it). If you're successful there, then try to get NM to talk nice or bugzilla it to the NM list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - The moving cursor writes, and having written, blinks on. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
