Re: wicd vs networkmanager
It should be the same as in wicd. Please check that your wireless card is working ok.
Open a terminal and tell us the output of:
ifconfig
lsmod|grep iwl
If it does not show 'wlan0' then something is not working. Try typing: ifconfig wlan0 up
and then see if it shows. The firmware for your card is included in Porteus by default: find /lib/firmware|grep -name iwl*

@wread
mds5sum shows ok
@brokenman
effectively wlan0 does not appear in ifconfig as it does before
ifconfig wlan0 up tells me "operation not possible due to RF-kill"
ps: wifi works fine under windows7
have any idea ?

Re: wicd vs networkmanager
hi bour59,
please provide psinfo output and /var/log/messages from porteus-1.1 and 1.2
i'll compare them and hopefully find the solution.

Re: wicd vs networkmanager
new : "ifconfig" don't show wlan0 ,but "ifconfig -a" do it !
since the boot with porteusv1.2, i can't see wlan0 neither in porteus v1.1 or porteusv0.9
ok I'will collect the results of what you needs
Google seems to say that it is a problem with "rfkill"
thx to all helpers
What is the best way to send you the 4 files (about 90000 bytes)

Re: wicd vs networkmanager
you are in a netbook or notebook??
you have pressed the button of the wificard in notebook?
rfkill only it means that the wificard is down,
i have an iwl3945 and work fine.

@UrUtusUbU
My computer is an HP pavillon
the only way to stop wifi (for planes) is in front of the portable
How can you explain why my wifi works with windows7
thx to try to solve my problem
Posted after 2 hours 8 seconds:
hi, all
I choose to reload the bios default settings
and I'm writing this after booting on v1.1 with wicd
Will investigate with v1.2 NM
Posted after 1 day 22 hours 19 minutes 45 seconds:
I have found the soluce
If I boot directly in Kde or Vesa,
I can choose the network then enter the wpa2 key.
If i boot in text mode then startx,
the wpa2 key in never asked.
It is one difference between NM and wicd
tested with iwl3945 on an HP
tested with Atheros on a Compaq.
but I can't explain the reason why !
may be someone?

Re: wicd vs networkmanager
Try in einer console: find /usr/bin -name nm*. The last 5 executables you will find are the binaries of Network Manager in CLI form. Experiment with it!
