Networking issues, can't connect to the internet at all
 
I'm running a fresh install of Crunchbang (Waldorf) on my X301, and I am unable to connect to the internet with both wired and wireless options. The LiveCD does let me connect, and so does my windows partion. I've tried it on both my routers (WRT54G/RT-AC66U) but still unable to connect, I have no problems with any of my other wifi devices. So I think I can rule out hardware issues :) And yes, the hardware switch for my wifi is on.

Here are some commands I have run to diagnose my issue. Was run with my WRT54G (was done a few weeks ago, was very busy in the interim period)
  • lspci | grep net -i

gives me:
Code:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300
I then ran:
  • tail -f /var/log/syslog

when everything is at default:
Code:

The connection would then just keep trying and failing to connect in a loop.

If networkmanager won even interactively put you on, it's odd. Have you run system-config-network, and fed it all the correct stuff? If not, do so.

how do I do that? the terminal didn't have that command

business_kid 07-26-2013 10:26 AM
Open a terminal or console, and in it type
Code:
sudo system-config-network
. Then press return - The biggest key.

My space bar takes this title.

Misread your last post.
Most things with networkmanager also have system-config-<this, that, & the other>
These are python scripts to do the setup work for you. Try

ls /usr/bin/system-config*

Failing that, your distro will have siome way of configuruing the network, and I would start there.

If you had a connection with the live disk but lost it after installation, it suggests to me that the installation went wrong. I'd re-install, but you might want to try some tactics found here:
http://wiki.debian.org/Network

As far as I know, system-config-network is a Red Hat thing. The lack of decent configuration tools is one reason I've never used a Debian-based distro ...

Nope, command not found. Don't think it's on the distro.

will try a reinstall tomorrow.

What does ifconfig -a show? Try ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 if that is your interface. There's a ton of other solutions on this page as well. Try these and post what you get using the informational commands:

Device eth0 does not seem to be present

Have you tried these Wireless Networking configuration options (if possible for your system)?

Cheers,

Agreed - it is a red hat thing. But itś bought/used by Mandriva, all RHEL clones,some others, and even slackware has/had system-config-printer.
When I did LFS, I found out how easy most of this configuration stuff was. A few lines in a few files and you have things doing exactly what you want. There are exceptions, and some config files are a lifeś work (e.g. sendmail.conf, apache.conf on busy servers).

Let's do this by hand.
Code:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan |less
can you see your own router? If not, post the error. If so, note your essid, run the mouse over your router's mac address (00:11:22:33:44:55:66) and continue
Code:
iwconfig wlan0 essid <your_essid> ap <paste that mac address
iwconfig wlan0
Line 2 will either have your access point (you're good) or 'not associated'. In the unlikely event that you're good, type

dhcpcd wlan0 or
dhclient wlan0

and then you can surf. Presuming this goes down in flames, detail exactly where and show us the errors.
