I've installed Porteus LXDE on my netbook, but when I try to connect to the wifi it just keeps asking for the password over and over again. Any idea where I could start troubleshooting? My wifi card is realtek...rtl8188ce according to some linux command I ran a long time ago when I was having other wifi issues
Anyway, I hope there's a way to fix this. This is the nicest LXDE default I've seen so far
Need some help with a wifi issue (SOLVED! thank you)

and check if that makes any better.

Oct 27 15:07:18 porteus kernel: [ 2126.023316] wlan0: deauthenticated from 00:26:75:79:a8:0a (Reason: 15)
Oct 27 15:07:18 porteus kernel: [ 2126.033842] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
Reason 15 is a timeout if that helps.. This could be from a number of things. Incorrect password given being one. Flaky wifi drivers. Also from the passphrase being expected in HEX and given in ascii or vice-versa.
It looks like an authentication issue during the handshake. lxpolkit?

crda?? Is that even installed?

Re: Need some help with a wifi issue
@fanthom:
added it, but no effect before or after reboot
@brokenman
100% sure I got the right password, so it could be the wifi driver (though debian w/ nonfree firmware detects it)...I don't really understand the third reason you gave. Is there anything I can do if it "expected in HEX and given in ascii or vice-versa"?

Re: Need some help with a wifi issue
please download crda package from here:
http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackw ... i486-1.txz
convert to xzm, place into /porteus/modules and reboot.
btw: it will be included in core for next release.
