Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2009 4:35 pm Post subject: How to setup wicd? [solved]

I have some problems to setup wicd correctly. As described in the ebuild I removed all net.* initscripts (except for net.lo) from all runlevels and add these scripts to the RC_PLUG_SERVICES line in /etc/conf.d/rc (RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0 !net.eth1 !net.wlan0"). Finally I added /etc/init.d/wicd to the boot runlevel.

After a reboot I started the wicd GUI and configured eth0 manually and tried to connect without success. What going wrong?

Code:

# ifconfig
lo Protokoll:Lokale Schleife
inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Code:

# route
Kernel IP Routentabelle
Ziel Router Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

Why eth0 is missing?

When I try to establish a wireless connection the GUI freeze after some seconds in state "Disconnect active connection ..." (translated).

Please show your [code] ip link [\code] If you miss eth0 there, then check your device and its kernel driver, or whether it is compiled into the kernel. First of all your network device should be present, kernel is responsible for this. If it is present, try to set it up: [code] ip link set eth0 up [\code] _________________ Per aspera ad astra!

ip isn't installed. Which package I have to emerge?

Maybe wicd.log will give a hint:

ip isn't installed.
Which package I have to emerge?

I wonder how people can live without it. This is iproute2: the most powerfull network layer configuration, routing and traffic control tool. It just provides full access to all yummy kernel features.

Maybe wicd.log will give a hint:

It also complains on iproute2 absence:

2009/09/15 00:15:54 :: WARNING: No path found for ip

Maybe it can't work well with sole ifconfig.

After installing iproute2 it works.

Seems like the dependencies of the iwcd are incompletely defined. I had to install the following packages manually:

Code:

dev-python/python-iwscan
dev-python/python-wpactrl
net-misc/dhcp
sys-apps/ethtool
sys-apps/iproute2

Thanks for the help.
