Asus PCE-N13 Wireless only working in X
Hey everyone and thanks for taking the time to help me out.
I am attempting to setup wireless in Slackware 13.37 for the first time and while I found a lot of helpful guides I am still unable to connect to my router without starting X and using wicd. I'll post my rc.inet1.conf and rc.wireless.conf along with wireless-settings.conf from wicd.
wireless-settings.conf
Code:
[00:26:F3:22:33:7A]
automatic = False
[00:26:F3:22:33:79]
afterscript = None
dhcphostname = Doctor
bssid = 00:26:F3:22:33:79
postdisconnectscript = None
use_dhcphostname = 0
dns_domain = None
quality = 70
gateway = None
use_global_dns = False
strength = -62
encryption = True
bitrates = 300 Mb/s
ip = None
beforescript = None
hidden = False
channel = 3
mode = Managed
psk = 71a2f5695eabc86b6580df03137a58da19e4015f8e1a1b43b14f3fdca4684f29
has_profile = True
netmask = None
key = 47993EA2187C54D40B7889AA1B
predisconnectscript = None
enctype = wep-hex
dns3 = None
dns2 = None
dns1 = None
use_settings_globally = False
use_static_dns = False
encryption_method = WEP
essid = Reefa
automatic = True
search_domain = None
rc.inet1.conf
Code:
# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
#
# This file contains the configuration settings for network interfaces.
# If USE_DHCP[interface] is set to "yes", this overrides any other settings.
# If you don't have an interface, leave the settings null ("").
# You can configure network interfaces other than eth0,eth1... by setting
# IFNAME[interface] to the interface's name. If IFNAME[interface] is unset
# or empty, it is assumed you're configuring eth<interface>.
# Several other parameters are available, the end of this file contains a
# comprehensive set of examples.
# =============================================================================
# Config information for eth0:
#IPADDR[0]=""
#NETMASK[0]=""
#USE_DHCP[0]=""
#DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
# Config information for eth1:
#IPADDR[1]=""
#NETMASK[1]=""
#USE_DHCP[1]=""
#DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""
# Config information for eth2:
#IPADDR[2]=""
#NETMASK[2]=""
#USE_DHCP[2]=""
#DHCP_HOSTNAME[2]=""
# Config information for eth3:
#IPADDR[3]=""
#NETMASK[3]=""
#USE_DHCP[3]=""
#DHCP_HOSTNAME[3]=""
# Default gateway IP address:
#GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
# Change this to "yes" for debugging output to stdout. Unfortunately,
# /sbin/hotplug seems to disable stdout so you'll only see debugging output
# when rc.inet1 is called directly.
DEBUG_ETH_UP="no"
## Example config information for wlan0. Uncomment the lines you need and fill
## in your info. (You may not need all of these for your wireless network)
IFNAME[0]="wlan0"

#WLAN_WPA[4]="wpa_supplicant"
#WLAN_WPADRIVER[4]="ndiswrapper"
## Some examples of additional network parameters that you can use.
## Config information for wlan0:
#IFNAME[4]="wlan0" # Use a different interface name nstead of
# the default 'eth4'
#HWADDR[4]="00:01:23:45:67:89" # Overrule the card's hardware MAC address
#MTU[4]="" # The default MTU is 1500, but you might need
# 1360 when you use NAT'ed IPSec traffic.
#DHCP_KEEPRESOLV[4]="yes" # If you dont want /etc/resolv.conf overwritten
#DHCP_KEEPNTP[4]="yes" # If you don't want ntp.conf overwritten
#DHCP_KEEPGW[4]="yes" # If you don't want the DHCP server to change
# your default gateway
#DHCP_IPADDR[4]="" # Request a specific IP address from the DHCP
# server
#WLAN_ESSID[4]=DARKSTAR # Here, you can override _any_ parameter
# defined in rc.wireless.conf, by prepending
# 'WLAN_' to the parameter's name. Useful for
# those with multiple wireless interfaces.
#WLAN_IWPRIV[4]="set AuthMode=WPAPSK | set EncrypType=TKIP | set WPAPSK=thekey"
# Some drivers require a private ioctl to be
# set through the iwpriv command. If more than
# one is required, you can place them in the
# IWPRIV parameter (separated with the pipe (|)
# character, see the example).

If you can connect from wicd while in X, then you can use the ncurses version of wicd 'wicd-client' at the command line.

Isn't that wicd-curses, and not wicd-client?
