slackware 13 wireless problem
Hello. I am new to Linux and Slackware and cannot seem to find any results when scanning a wireless network.
Running lspci gives me: Code:
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10) http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...napshot1-1.png afaik, lspci shows that I have my wireless network adapter but I can't seem to select anything in the gui and when scanning, it doesn't show any wireless networks. |
Does the following command show your network?
# iwlist wlan0 scan |
Also i would recommend you read this entire page

Hi,
Welcome back to LQ! Quote:
Code:
users floppy audio video cdrom plugdev power netdev It doesn't get any better than the wiki referenced above. You need to understand what is necessary to get things going for your install. So you should attempt to perform what is given then come back to this thread with things that you need assistance with. We cannot hold your hand. You do have some responsibility to attempt what you have been given. That cop out of too complicated doesn't fly. :hattip: |
Actually, I did this all as root and not as an ordinary user. Anyway I'll look into the Wiki again and post any problems I might encounter. Thanks!
By the way, is my wireless card driver okay? I was just guessing if I didn't have the driver since it doesn't show any adapters in the gui. |
Hey guys. Finally got my Wireless Network going. =) Thanks. Reading the WIKI was the only solution that worked for me. I get some errors but I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks. Slack eeez good
ALSO, guys, In the end of the wiki, there was a package in /extra called wicd. It was a GUI for wireless connections. I just want to ask one thing, If i didn't do all the configurations, would the wicd still work? |
