No, it's not included since this is basically a desktop-oriented distro.
Anyway, I was referring to MY HowTo, the HowTo of this thread.
At the top, in the first part of it, it's explained that you need some packages, such as build-essential, gcc, linux-headers, etc.
Well on a desktop you some times need to install drivers, so make is needed.Originally Posted by luca_linux
I will ha a look in you howto
no, because i do not need wpa, just wepOriginally Posted by luca_linux
i reinstalled the driver again, but i have the same problem
i cannot scan, but when i know the essid and password i can connect withput any problems
any help
After you start wpa_supplicant
You can enter the wpa command line interface as such:
In that mode you can see the status of the wpa connection as it tries to authenticate with the APCode:sudo wpa_cli
From there you can enter commands such as
To see information about the connectionCode:status
or
to get a list of other informationCode:help
It was a really helpful too when getting my connection to work
I apologize if this was covered in other posts. On WPA networks that do not broadcast an SSID is it possible to still use the method explained in this howto? My wpa_cli status says:
bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00
pairwise_cipher=UNKNOWN
group_cipher=UNKNOWN
key_mgmnt=UNKNOWN
wpa_state=SCANNING
Supplicant PAE state=DISCONNECTED
suppPortStatus=Unauthorized
EAP state=DISABLED
I installed Ubuntu today as someone dropped a boxful of disks off at my workplace. Previously I was using ndiswrapper. this is a little different.
Wow. Thanks so much for this. Ever since I installed Hoary I was getting a Fatal Error message, and then I upgraded to the latest ipw drivers with another tutorial and it didn't solve the problem. I followed your tutorial and I didn't get one single error message, so, once again, thanks a lot.
in your wpa_supplicant.confOriginally Posted by megan at terrormachine
make sure you have your ssid set
if that does not work you can tryCode:network={ ...other stuff... ssid="MYSSID" # Change to your ssid ...other stuff... }
to set your ssidCode:sudo iwconfig eth1 essid myssid
where eth1 is your wireless device
and where myssid is your ssid
Yeah, just add to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:Originally Posted by megan at terrormachine
As already suggested in the HowTo.Code:scan_ssid=1
That does the trick.
