Wireless Macbook 5.1 Karmic bcm4322

[evanuz]

Hi
I can't stablish a connection
I ve tried with network manager, but it keeps asking the password until i dont provide it.
If i do it manually, i cant get an ip. It just says:

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

my experiences with networkmanager are bad. I switched to wicd
sudo apt-get install wicd
(networkmanager will be automatically removed)

thanks
i did it but wicd stucks on obtaining ip address until it says:

Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address

[linuxopjemac]

does the router work properly under OSX?

[evanuz]

Yes it does

I would play a bit with your router settings. I read somewhere that changing from a 13 key password to a 10 key password did the trick for someone. I am not an expert on this, but start from no security to more security and so on...
