Thanks Russell. That's a handy config which had rfkill do the unblocking so I didn't have to run that command manually. The system however didn't continue beyond that to bring up the wireless interface itself, so I still needed to run the other 2 commands. It's one step at a time. I guess I could write a script but I'm still at the point of concern about the system's reluctance to do what has been automatic on other systems running the same OS. ben > >> >> I can get the wifi up online with these commands: >> #rfkill unblock wifi >> #wpa_supplicant _B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 >> #dhclient wlan0 >> >> rfkill seems to be the blocking factor. > > > -- > My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ > My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
