 |
|
Hi, ALL,
I am running GNOME with X on the system that does not have a wired slot for the network.
And the top GNOME panel does not have an icon for the WiFi.
Trying the "Settings -> Network" fails with the message:
| Quote: |
Network unavailable
An error has occurred and network cannot be used.
Error details: NeyworkManager not running
|
I don't have NetworkManager running.
I'm using dhcpcd with wpa_supplicant.
How do I get this icon on?
Thank you. |

Probably gnome "Settings -> Network" works only with NetworkManager.
Try to install net-misc/dhcpcd-ui.

Not using this program I don't know what the executable is called but then find out with the equery f net-misc/dhcpcd-ui command.

I think it only works with Network Manager, disable dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant services, install Network Manager and enable the service(https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NetworkManager) |
