Hey, new archer here!!!
Yesterday I installed arch 64bit and after doing some configuration tricks, I'm still left with a couple of issues.
1. No wireless networks foune
IT's an usb wifi card - (works out of the box in slackware-current on the same laptop). Here it seemed to pick it up automatically as well:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS WLA-54L 802.11bg
Code:
[root@archtop flas]# lsmod | grep rw
zd1211rw 43748 0
mac80211 171772 1 zd1211rw
cfg80211 126658 2 zd1211rw,mac80211
usbcore 144604 8 usbhid,usbtouchscreen,uvcvideo,btusb,zd1211rw,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd
Code:
[root@archtop flas]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Code:
[root@archtop flas]# ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[root@archtop flas]#
Code:
[root@archtop flas]# ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[root@archtop flas]#
Wireless-tools are installed. I also installed wicd. It says that no wireless networks found.
btw, What can I do for wicd-client to appear in the panel automatically? In kde it starts automatically but asks me for the root password. In Awesome it doesn't start automatically. I'm a member of those groups: lp wheel network video audio optical storage power users
Googling the error above gave me suggestions about not installed firmware. Wlan0 has been created so it must be installed. I think.
Please, advise.
I've got some other minor issues with this install, but that's for other threads.
