|
|
Hi,
I've just installed NetworkManager along with Gnome 3.6 on my netbook. The problem is that NetworkManager wont show any wireless APs in it's list either from a cold boot, reboot or from a sleep/resume cycle.
The only things in messages is:
Code: |

May 3 08:16:37 noah NetworkManager[1608]: <info> waking up and re-enabling...

I've tried installing an older or newer version. Nothing changes. Wicd on the same machine works fine. The only way to make it work is to run an "iwlist scan" on a terminal, where at that point NetworkManager picks up and connects properly.
I've added
Code: |
rc_hotplug="!net.*"
|
to /etc/rc.conf. Removed netmount from default runlevel. Doesn't change anything.
Any ideas? |

Which kernel version?
Installed x86 stable 3.8.13 (upgrading from x86 last stable 3.7.10) wireless Access Point scanning stopped working.
I had to act like working with hidden network writing AP name by hand. |

I must do it, and configure it, every each time I reboot.
Gone back to 3.7.10 kernel version. |

I might have fixed my problem. For some reason the kernel config had all the atheros support turned off (it was, obviously, on for 3.7.10). I've never had that issue when upgrading before, so I don't know what happened. I turned it back on, rebuilt, and everything started working. I don't know if this is related to your problem, as I was getting no wireless at all. _________________ Enlightenment comes when you hear the sound of one hand slapping your forehead. |

Thanks for your replies, sorry it took so long to post again.
I still haven't solved my problem. I"m on 3.8.13, and wicd works fine. Problem is that NetworkManager is well built into Gnome, so I'd like to make it work.
I do have WEXT into the kernel.
I'll post again if I figure it out. |
