Can not connected to a AP use Slackware 14.1 network manager


Hi, all.

I have some trouble when tried to switch to new network manager,
it always tips `... is disconnected' even when I connect to a no password AP.

But if I `chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.network-manager`, old script can work. (rc.inet1.conf, wpa_suppliacant.conf), so, it not drive problem.

Thank you for every help.

With NetworkManager or wicd, it's
a good idea to remove any existing network configuration in
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf first. This can be done by running netconfig
and setting the machine to use loopback. Then, if you're using
NetworkManager run it a second time and select NetworkManager.

Those error messages have been generated as your wlan0 interface has attempted to get an IPv6 address from your TP-LINK_PocketAP_763732 router. I suspect that they are irrelevant as you are likely using IPv4.
It suggests that NetworkManager is successfully initialising your wlan0 interface, but it is not getting the appropriate information from your router.
Have you configured your connection and connection secrets via nm-applet running in a GUI and used the Save for all users option?

Thanks. I can start nm-applet GUI, and select corresponding ssid, and click to connect, it let me to input a password, I input it, it seem like connected, but later, it disconnected again, I have tested in a no password AP, it still can not connected, like previous.

>> used the Save for all users option?

Sorry, what means this ? where is ` Save for all '?

On the General tab of the connection editor, select "All users may connect to this network"

On the Wi-Fi tab, supply your SSID and set Mode to Infrastructure.
On the Wi-FI Security tab, set Security to WPA & WPA2 Personal and supply your password.
On the IPv4 Settings tab, set Method to Automatic (DHCP).
On the IPv6 Settings tab, set Method to Ignore.

but I start it use dhcpcd & because some local-connection reason...
