Sony Vaio VPCCW1S1E wifi problem
Hi there,
recently I have installed Debian Squeeze on a Sony Vaio VPCCW1S1E. The troubles already began during the installation process with the driver for the wifi card. As suggested by the installer, I provided on a USB stick the non-free firmware iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode and iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode so I could finally set the connection parameters to my wifi network and hit the repositories. Once logged in into the fresh Debian install, I couldn’t connect to the wifi, apparently, due to a problem with avahi-deamon: iwconfig was listing the interfaces eth0, lo, wlan0 and Code:
wlan0:avahi Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Now, the problem is that I can’t connect to the wifi anymore. I surely did during the install, so the driver should be working. What Am I missing??? :scratch: FYI I post here the following outputs: ifconfig Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Code:
lo no wireless extensions. In any case Gnome network manager is never able to find any available wifi. Any help would be appreciated... ;) Thanks Cheers |

Ok, after some more searching, it turned out that the answer was already out there... :redface:
It was just necessary to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and change "managed=false" into "managed=true" as done in this thread. ;) I hope this will help someone too... Cheers |
