It started working magically. I don't know how, but suddenly network manager found all networks around and connected sucessfully.
Now I have a strange problem. Everytime I want to connect to something - doesn't matter if it's web, APT, IRC, IM, ping or anything, it takes a while (several seconds) trying to resolv the address, like if the DNS is very slow. After that it goes normally. It's normally with any other distro or OS. Doing a quick google search I found many complaints about that in Squeeze. One suggests adding 'options single-request' to /etc/resolv.conf. This is it: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg560847.html But isn't that file overwritten automatically? 2010/6/16 Otto <[email protected]> > > do you have firmware-iwlwifi installed? > > Yeah. > > > Sorry, Dirk, I couldn't test yet what you suggested.
