Hi all;
Recently installed Fedora13 and am working through problems. I've managed to
solve most by lots of reading documentation and googling but am being frustated
with wireless not working in KDE. It's working fine in Gnome but I prefer KDE.
I've tried both using NetworkManager and traditional (ifup) methods but can't
get associated with my wireless router except in Gnome. The router (Linksys
WRT54G) is set to not broadcast ESSID. I can see it with iwlist wlan0 scan but
only Gnome will associate with it.
It's my understanding that both Gnome and KDE use NetworkManager but with
different GUIs. If that is so, why won't both associate?
Any comments or suggestions gladly accepted.
Thanks, Tom
To debug the problem, you need to add -dd to
/etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant. I myself do not
use the Network Manager.
So in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant, I added -dd
as you see below.
# Other arguments
# -u Enable the D-Bus interface (required for use with NetworkManager)
# -f Log to /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
OTHER_ARGS=" -dd -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log"
Once you add the flag, then
sudo service wpa_supplicant restart
After that, do
tail -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
to see what messages you get.
