Re: [gentoo-user] Can't connect to router with 3 different interfaces
I have 2 different USB wireless network adapters and an internal PCIe adapter and none will connect to a Jazztel router I need to connect to on the road. I've tried several different kernels. I've tried restarting the router and I've verified that the WEP password is correct by logging into the router itself (good ol' admin/admin) but wicd always gives me the bad password message. dmesg isn't very informative. All I get is from the internal adapter (with debugging enabled for the driver) after each failure is: L1 Disabled: Enabling L0S Radio type=0x1-0x2-0x0 wlan0: link is not ready Does anyone know how to figure this out? I would try setting a static IP on the client in wicd... maybe something in the DHCP session between the router and client is wonky. I thought the same thing and tried that but it didn't end up working. The good news is I got it working by doing this in /etc/conf.d/net: modules=!wpa_supplicant ssid_wlan0=SSID key_SSID=s:PASSWORD enc open I couldn't get wpa_supplicant working either but maybe I didn't take enough time with the config. I guess this was a wicd bug? I love it when working on something all day long actually pays off. When working with wicd, rule 1 is delete all /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/init.d/net* They just interfere with wicd and make your life miserable (as you found out) I actually had no /etc/init.d/net.* files except net.lo and /etc/conf.d/net was empty. I finally gave up on wicd and set up the openrc stuff when I got my third network interface working with the same result. - Grant

But for regular eth and wlan stuff wicd alone does the job, and it never works when openrc is trying to get in the mix too -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
