Running stable, kde and network-manager-gnome. The modem/router provides two wireless network options - one 2.4 GHz, the other 5. However, net/mgr only picks up the 2.4 - the 5 doesn't show at all. I thought maybe the 5 signal wasn't strong enough, so I moved the laptop right next to the modem, but still no 5. I have an old machine - a late 2008 Macbook, so I thought maybe it was a hardware problem. I booted into OSX and it recognized the 5 network and happily established a wireless connection. Ethernet gives me the 5GHz connection. I'm at wit's end here. Any advice, pointers, etc. greatly appreciated. |
