|
|
So, I'm using NetworkManager + nm-applet for organizing connections on my laptop. Now that it seems like I've managed to get my wireless device working, I was displeased to see that upon clicking the nm-applet icon in system tray the only thing stated under Wireless Networks category is grayed out device not ready. But I'm pretty sure that the WLAN device is working alright.
Code: | mrhn # ifconfig -v wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:5e:02:0d:77

mrhn # iwconfig wlan0

mrhn # lspci -k

# iwlist scan seems to give a valid list of available networks. But NetworkManager just can't be bothered to see a thing. I'd most deeply appreciate some input on how to open up NM's eyes _________________ Geofairy is the best Pokemon

Seems *really* familiar:
Just do
emerge -q -1 dbus
And then reboot.
Please, report back if this fixes your issue.

This is sometimes also caused by the Wireless LAN being Soft blocked via rfkill. |
