Hello everyone,
I'm new to the CentOS list, so forgive me if this has been answered before
(someone please point me to an efficient way of searching through the list
archives).
I have a wifi card from the subject line, and have the driver installed. Using
NetworkManager under Gnome everything works perfectly. However, I prefer to use
network service instead of NetworkManager since
a) I use KDE and NetworkManager fails to work properly there
b) this is a desktop machine, online 24/7 and I want wireless active even when
I am not logged in.
But when I use the network service, wifi0 fails after a delay, and
/var/log/messages says there are no dhcp offers available. However, I am sure
that there are several wireless networks available, with a strong signal.
How to solve this? I would even accept using NM if it works as a daemon, ie
even if I'm not logged in, and under KDE (which it doesn't atm).
I believe the problem is essentially in the (in)ability to choose the
appropriate network automatically --- in KDE NM doesn't have the taskbar applet
which would let me choose the network, and the network service has no way of
automatically making such a choice either...
Please help! Btw, this is somewhat urgent, I am supposed to make it work by
monday, Oct. 13.
Oh, I almost forgot, CentOS 5.2, fully updated.
Best, :-)
Marko
