Two newbie questions. I've just bought an E14 Thinkpad, onto which i installed Beowulf. However, I needed to pull the microcode and wireless firmware from ceres to connect via wlan0. wicd just doesn't work, and I failed to make it work using wpa_supplicant, although this was before Didier posted the above. However, this morning, i got it up and running using this link https://superuser.com/questions/986239/no-dhcp-lease-with-wlan0 pkill dhclient pkill wpa_supplicant wpa_passphrase "TheNameOfMyNetwork" "MySecretPassword" > wpa.conf ip link set dev wlan0 down ip addr flush dev wlan0 ip link set dev wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -Dnl80211 -c wpa.conf dhclient -v wlan0 So newbie question 1: How different to the wpa_supplicant processes currently being discussed is this process? And Q2: I am now running a hybrid Beowulf/Ceres installation. Should I remove the Beowulf repositories from the sources.list and replace them with either Chimaera or Ceres? And then upgrade or dist-upgrade? I'd be happy to run a testing release, but for this machine, security is more important than stability. It will be running proprietary software, mostly from the Google stable; it's main function will be video-conferencing.
