 |
|
I have 2 gentoo laptops, I have created a wireless network using hostapd on the first.
I try to connect to that network on the second but I get:
| Code: | samsung ~ # nmcli d wifi connect home password '*****'
Error: No network with SSID 'home' found.
samsung ~ # nmcli d wifi rescan
samsung ~ # nmcli d wifi list
IN-USE BSSID SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURIT>

samsung ~ # nmcli d wifi connect home password '*****'
Error: Connection activation failed: (53) The Wi-Fi network could not be found.
samsung ~ # |
I tested connecting to the first laptop's network using an android phone and it worked.
I do not know where to begin to look, any ideas?
