Wireless ralink on fresh install
I can't seem to setup my wireless network I'm in console only (fresh install). I selected NetworkManger during the setup program, I have a router. wpa_supplicant just connects and disconnects. Any ideas?
My wpa_supplicant output when manually run Code:
wlan0: Associated with 20:aa:4b:ff:6f:a7 Code:
# wpa_supplicant.conf DHCPCD output Code:
root@dasilvam:~# ping www.google.ca Mark |
wheel GROUP, isn't used in slackware.

If you enabled networkmanager, then /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is not used. Instead you need to configure your wireless parameters in a GUI. Either the network-manager-applet in XFCE (a Gnome application) or the networkmanager of KDE is available for that.

wheel GROUP, is present, on slackware, but it's no really used like in BSD, i think.

Ok I Switch it use dhcpcd instead of NetworkManager as I don't want a GUI right now added wpa_supplicant command to rc.local.
Now I get this output when dhcpcd is run, but still no internet connection. Code:
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant Mark |

If you can not resolve hostnames, then dhcpcd has not configured /etc/resolv.conf for you. Usually the DHCP server informs the DHCP client which IP addresses to use for hostname resolving - those IP addresses will be written to /etc/resolv.conf . You can still test whether you have internet connectivity, using ping. First, ping your local gateway, 192.168.1.1. That should answer for sure. Then if you got replies, ping one of Google's public DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 . If that works you can add these lines to /etc/resolv.conf manually: Code:
nameserver 8.8.8.8 Eric |
