Connection problems

Hello to all memebers of the forum!

I have been using new image of Zenwalk. But I have connection problem.
I can't connect to internet.
I have been using Lenovo Y510p laptop.
Thank you.

You leave others to guess too many details! How are you connecting to the internet? (Wired ethernet, wifi, 3G/4G mobile broadband?)

Please post the relevant hardware details (even if it means running commands and capturing relevant output, saving to file, and transferring via memory stick to a computer with a working internet connection so that the details can be posted here).

I am connected to internet with Wifi.

Driver and firmware loaded?

Code:

/sbin/lspci -nnk|grep Network -A3

Code:

dmesg|grep firmware

Which distro are you using? Are you using NetworkManager to connect with or using some other method?

Is your wifi device visible? If not, is it hard blocked/soft blocked? The rfkill utility is needed to help with this...

Code:

/usr/sbin/rfkill list

If that checks out ok, then run to following to determine that a wireless device node exists...

Code:

/usr/sbin/iwconfig

If you are getting as far as being connected to your AP, but no internet connectivity then report back with output from

Code:

ip add

Code:

ip route

Code:

grep "name" /etc/resolv.conf

I have been using Zenwalk, latest ISO.

I can see my device, even I can connect to wifi, but Linux disconnects me immediately.

/usr/sbin/iwconfig: No such file or directory

Any active device node(s) present?

Code:

/sbin/ifconfig

This will show active and inactive

Code:

/sbin/ifconfig -a

We're looking for a wireless network device node eg wlan0

Sorry, I missed this statement. Examine /var/log/wicd/wicd.log for errors.

No such file or directory.

You might have to make an effort to locate it then. I don't use wicd or zenwalk.

Maybe start with 'man wicd'.

No manual entry for wicd.

You might try casting the net wider by posting this issue in zenwalk forums. Not sure what else to suggest here - perhaps try using NetworkManager instead.
