[SOLVED] Trouble with wi-fi

Hi, I have some problem with my wi-fi connect.
Debian Jessie xlde, everything was good. I not sure what was the reason to broke this :/, now if I want connect to wi-fi, I have to use command line (network manager is gone ) and use this commands:

Code:

sudo wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlp8s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

$ sudo /sbin/iw wlp8s0 link
$ sudo dhlient wlp8s0

It's any solution to fix this?

I prefer wicd (network-manager needs to be removed first). My wifi also has a weird name now too (wlp6s0), as opposed to the old wlan0, I followed the instructions in the link and used wlp6s0 as the wifi name/identifier, every was fine. Hope this helps.

That's one of those laughingly misnamed "predictable network interface names."

@frankbell, thanks for the enlightenment.

@jakubkameleon, can you borrow somebody's wired connection temporarily? :/

I could't resolve my problem with packages, so I reinstalled my Debian. Now network manager works fine. I don't know what happend with network before.
