Hello,
I searched and tried a few tricks, but can't get it to connect to my wireless network. Here are some facts:
I had trouble getting my old lappy online, but after I was successful, I attempted to recreate the exact procedure but it wont work :(
A few things to mention, the drivers are installed, and my router is able to connect with my old lapptop(DHCP). Also my wifi is set up as unsecure. I run DD-WRT and prefer to only allow my specific MAC addresses connect. I turned that off for testing. Here is the data I have:
$ sudo ifup wlan0
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.wlan0.pid with pid 134519072
