Well, what device do you use? :) A short check list, produced of the top of my mind: 1. is the driver for the device available to the kernel (did you build it?) 2. does the device require firmware? 2a. if so, is the (correct) firmware available to the driver? 3. is the correct WiFi interface enabled in the kernel (Explanation: there is the older "Wireless extensions" and the newer nl80211 system. Some device drivers use one to do their thing and communicate with userland and some device drivers use the other.) 4. does the userland program (wpa_supplicant) have the correct drivers for the device (meaning wext or nl80211) compiled in? -- Svi moji e-mailovi su kriptografski potpisani.
