hi,
I recall there is / was a problem with network-manager not liking it when you have the '/etc/network/interfaces' setup with the wireless interface. here is a copy of my interfaces file if it any help. $ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
after getting it working, but some problems still remain1) the WPA passphrase/psk key doesn't get saved and, therefore, i have to enter it on each reboot. is there an easy way how to get it running? this is probably kwallet/gnome-keyring related issue, but i am not using neither kde nor gnome.
2) knetworkmanager seems to be more powerful than nm-applet. however, the first one behaves strangely. e.g., if i enter bad passphrase (or psk, instead), it gets stuck at 28% during connection phase and stays there. clicking on the name of the network in the applet brings back this window and it is not possible to change it. in nm-applet, both passphrase and psk work...
any hints are gratefully appreciated! best, -- Lubos _@_" http://www.lubos.vrbka.net
