[SOLVED] Wireless woes after permissions/partition moving fiasco

[pmsumner]

I recently moved around some partitions - moved /usr /tmp and /home to their own partitions. I found afterwards that some files had their ownerships set incorrectly (root.root for everything in /home for example). I think I missed something with the moving directory command.

Anyhow, why it happened aside - I now can't connect to the wireless network I could connect to effortlessly before with WICD.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? I hope it's just a perms problem.

(I am using a Fujitsu Siemens Li1718 - Atheros AR242x wireless. Compiled madwifi drivers again and lsmod | grep ath0 shows all drivers loaded. iwconfig ath0 shows everything I'd expect:

phil@home-laptop:~$ iwconfig ath0
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"WIRELESS_HO" Nickname:""

Ignore attached file, just realised I ran the wrong command...

Attached is the output from:

phil@home-laptop:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -w -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ddd > /home/phil/wpa_supp.txt

GAH! After playing for a while and trying various things, I managed to connect manually using wpasupplicant and had changed nothing since that last attempt.

I think my router's on the fitz.
