I haven't been able to get to e-mail for a few days, so am coming late to this. If you haven't gotten this resolved, it sounds like you're saying that you associate with the access point in the GUI, but then run dhclient, and don't get an IP address. Do I understand you correctly? If not, can you please explain in more detail what happens? No screenshots please, unless someone else is able to look at them, and pickup from there. > > Do you have any suggestions for how to troubleshoot this? If I understand that you can associate with the access point through wpa_gui, what does iwconfig(8) say? If iwconfig says the adapter is associated with the access point, can you configure a static IP address valid on your network, and does that work, or do you still have no internet connection.

There are two different and contradictory ways to install LaTeX. One is with your distro's package manager, the other is direct from CTAN (Comprehensive TEX Archive Network). Either way you install **TeXLive**, not MacTeX or Micky Mouse TeX (for windows I presume) or any of the other TeXes. I installed from CTAN, much to the dismay of my distro's movers and shakers, so that I can manage my TeX and LaTeX with the very nice tlmgr program. The advantage of my way is that you can get absolutely any facility supported by CTAN, instead of just the stuff my distro deems necessary. The disadvantage of my way is that every year fonts start to break, and you need to install all of the next year's packages and run texhash. If you choose my way, email me (reminding me of this email) when you start having fonts magically go bad. Because I write books that I sell, I absolutely need every last provision of LaTeX, hence my CTAN decision. If you're just doing something one-off and simple, your distro's LaTeX package might suit you more.
