|
|
I'm lost and I don't know where to start. I've read alot in the manuals and I feel like I'm being pulled in several different directions with all the options there are for getting wifi to run. I've chosen to use NetworkManager, and nm-applet.
emerged: networkmanager, dhcpcd, nm-applet, linux-firmware, wireless-tools
I have a ath9k wireless driver that has been enabled in the kernel. I am able to modprobe it successfully.

* EDIT - Working now *
I ran 'trayer' and then nm-applet, was able to add net connections. rebooted and voila, works. |
