when back up you should have showing eth0 and wlan0 or new names courtesy of udev. presuming eth0 and wlan0 are still in use: Code: | cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.eth0
ln -s net.lo net.wlan0
rc-update add net.eth0 default
rc-update add net.wlan0 default
nano /etc/conf.d/net | edit to Quote: | modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=30
iwconfig_wlan0_mode="Managed"
config_wlan0="dhcp"
config_eth0="dhcp" | and Code: | nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | edit to Quote: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1 | then Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
ping -c2 -Ieth0 8.8.8.8 | if good the interface works Code: | ping -c2 -Ieth0 google.com | if good so does dns. look for data for your router Code: | nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | edit to add network after the previous entry similar to Quote: | network={
ssid="your router's ssid"
psk="your passphrase"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
} | if the scan does not provide data for an item, don't use that item, (it will not provide passphrase, if you use one, do put it in ) Code: | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
ping -c2 -Iwlan0 8.8.8.8 |
