Porteus

Hi,

I downloaded this ISO http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/pub/linux/porteus/ ... 0-i586.iso, successfully wrote it to an SD card and booted my laptop with it. But when I tried to connect to my Wifi I got stuck. Wifi adapters are available in the OS:

root@porteus:/home/guest# iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.

wlan1 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off

lo no wireless extensions.

wlan2 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off

They even see some networks around:

root@porteus:/home/guest# iwlist wlan1 scan|grep -i essid
ESSID:"sweet_home"
ESSID:"TP-LINK_4F5642"
ESSID:"Keenetic-0050"
ESSID:"Daniel"
ESSID:"Pifagor_2016"
ESSID:"ml448"
ESSID:"TP-Link_5590"
ESSID:"ZyXEL_kat"
ESSID:"Ne"
ESSID:"Redmi"

I created a .conf file with WPA data for my network but when I tried to connect to if from both adapters, the wpa_supplicant simply hung:

root@porteus:/home/guest# wpa_supplicant -i wlan2 -c /mnt/sdb1/dump/sweet_home.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
^Cnl80211: deinit ifname=wlan2 disabled_11b_rates=0
wlan2: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING

root@porteus:/home/guest# wpa_supplicant -i wlan1 -c /mnt/sdb1/dump/sweet_home.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

What did I do wrong with them and how should I make the Wifi connection established in my Porteus instance?

No idea other than try to connect with the standard .conf file rather than yours. I've never had to manually change mine.

Ok, where I can find this standard .conf file?

I'm assuming it was in the ISO you installed and modified. I don't use KDE so am not much help. Sorry.
