 |
|
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.

# 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

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. |
