Hey guys,

My problem in short is that I have Mepis Linux version 3.4-3 on my Fujitsu Siemens laptop with a Intel ProWireless card....

I have a wireless unsecured network at home and I connect to it just fine... So this tells me that Mepis recognizes my card and that everything is OK...

However in my Uni there is a wireless WPA secured network that I want to connect to... I set up everything on OS center and control center properly... and then I open KWiFi Manager and scan for networks and indeed it finds it... then I select its name and click ok ... then status says:

Searching for GUCWLAN
ip: 00:00:00:00:00:00

And it doesn't although I have entered the key and everything...

There is no problem on the network... and somebody suggested that the key in Hexadecimal ... and when I enter the key in the configure there is no Hexadecimal option...

This is all the info that I have about the problem...

So anybody plz help me...

Thank you

I find that KWifiManager ignores/resets what is in the Mepis OS Centre - which doesn't do WPA - only WEP.
From a command line:

man iwconfig

for how-to configure the wireless net from command line, then:

ifup wlan0 where wlan0 is the name of your wireless interface.

Thanks but after I do that in the command line...wat next the Kwifi still doesn't connect...

Is your Uni network running mac filtering? If it is you will never be able to connect.
