I wanted to use KNetworkManager, so I switched from iwconfig to wpa_supplicant and now I can't connect to anything outside my local network. I don't know whether it's KNM's, NM's or wpa_supplicant's fault, and I have no idear how to find out... To get KNM working I did something like this (might have forgot something):
Made my kernel (linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r4) look like this: [code] Networking ---> <*> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack [*] Enable full debugging output <*> IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption (802.1x) <*> IEEE 802.11i CCMP support <*> IEEE 802.11i TKIP encryption <M> Software MAC add-on to the IEEE 802.11 networking stack [*] Enable full debugging output [/code] and then: [code] echo "net-misc/dhcdbd" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge dhcdbd dev-libs/dbus-qt3-old sys-libs/libunwind -av ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/dhcdbd/dhcdbd-1.14-r1.ebuild merge ebuild /usr/portage/dev-libs/libnl/libnl-1.0_pre6.ebuild merge ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/dhcdbd/dhcdbd-1.14-r1.ebuild merge ebuild /usr/portage/portage/net-misc/networkmanager- 0.6.4_pre20061028-r1.ebuild merge rc-update add NetworkManager default rc-update add dhcdbd default cd / wget http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/knetworkmanager/network-manager-kde_0.1-4_i386.deb // dpkg complains alot so i unpack myself ar x network-manager-kde_0.1-4_i386.deb tar -xvpf data.tar.gz knetworkmanager [/code] And knetworkmanager started. Now it's not able to connect to any of my wireless networks, although it lists everyone around here. And when it connects to a wired network I can't break out of my local network. Besides that, wired works if I do "dhcpcd eth0". Any ideas on how to find out what's wrong? and btw: # lspci | grep -i network 14:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection (rev 05) Hope this isn't a too stupid question to ask.
