The "System Settings/Network Settings" doesn't show any "Available Network Interfaces".
I expected to see at least eth0

Ok, great news, your wifi is working.

So, can you test that :

# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ......
* WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive

How do I specify the access point and the WEP key?

I did now. :-)

It tries to associate with the right AP but it fails.
It is not very verbose on why it failed, it just times out.

wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:0f:b5:12:f5:ea try 1
wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:0f:b5:12:f5:ea try 1
wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:0f:b5:12:f5:ea try 2
wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:0f:b5:12:f5:ea try 3
wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:0f:b5:12:f5:ea timed out

Hi, can you post your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf plz ?

Hi, you seems to have a good wpa_supplicant.conf

Can you post your /etc/conf.d/net

Flarkis · Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 8:16 pm Post subject:

The one for kde is not released yet. it is only avaliable as a like ebuild from the kde-testing overlay. But in my opinion in is stable enough.

Well, that's good too.

I am sure it is not accepting my psk.

Is
# iwlist wlan0 wpakeys
wlan0 2 key sizes : 40, 104bits
4 keys available :
Error reading wpa keys (SIOCGIWENCODEEXT): Operation not supported

supposed to work?

Hi, can you post your actual psk key, because maybe you use some wild characters.
