LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] 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:

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)
