The interface is operative. Your screen displays a list of discovered ESSIDs and the option to enter an ESSID manually. At least one ESSID in the list would presumably be the ESSID you want to connect to. Here at home I would be looking for "Horizon". May I suggest you repeat the install up to this point and do the same. There is no need, of course, to completely reinstall. > Sep 12 19:10:23 kernel: [ 298.784011] eth1: no IPv6 routers present > Sep 12 19:11:54 netcfg[7804]: INFO: Network chosen: (null). Proceeding to > connect. You have chosen the manual route. Maybe you left the entry blank. Maybe you entered an ESSID. I can only guess because, for some reason, "null" is shown for either. Why, I not know. I repeated what you did this afternoon but gave the ESSID as "Horizon" instead of choosing it from the list as I have been doing. The log has similar lines to yours below. > Sep 12 19:12:01 apt-install: Queueing package wpasupplicant for later > installation > Sep 12 19:12:19 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:12:24 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:12:29 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:12:34 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:12:39 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:12:44 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:12:49 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:12:54 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:12:59 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:13:04 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:13:09 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:13:14 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:13:19 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=SCANNING > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:13:31 init: starting pid 423, tty '/dev/tty2': '-/bin/sh' Now you have a screen telling you there was a failure to exchange keys and associate with the AP. I'd be inclined to think an attempt to connect with Horizon in my case was a valid procedure. Unless the manual method is intended for non-listed ESSIDs only. > Sep 12 19:18:53 netcfg[7804]: INFO: Activating interface eth1 > Sep 12 19:18:53 netcfg[7804]: INFO: Scan of wireless interface eth1 succeeded. > Sep 12 19:19:13 netcfg[7804]: INFO: Taking down interface eth1 > Sep 12 19:19:13 netcfg[7804]: INFO: Network chosen: > SoneraGateway00-26-44-A1-45-A9. Proceeding to connect. After pressing "Continue" you once again have a list of ESSIDs plus a manual method. This time you have chosen an ESSID from the list. I did the same. > Sep 12 19:19:32 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=INTERFACE_DISABLED > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:19:37 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=INTERFACE_DISABLED > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:19:42 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=INTERFACE_DISABLED > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 > Sep 12 19:19:47 netcfg[7804]: INFO: buf = wpa_state=INTERFACE_DISABLED > address=00:16:6f:c6:9d:09 I got thirteen of these lines at 5 second intervals. The interface has been disabled. Is this by design? I've snipped the rest of your log because I'm not quite sure what you did next. Aborted the attempted association and plugged in a Bluetooth device, I think. And I assume you did not carry on much further with the install. I did carry on and once again got a message that key exchange and association had failed. Continuing on, the next screen had the information that the attempt to find available wireless networks had failed and an ESSID for wlan0 to use could be entered. Doing this or just pressing enter results in association with the AP and the log shows: Sep 27 16:26:31 netcfg[6452]: INFO: Activating interface wlan0 Sep 27 16:26:31 kernel: [ 689.964741] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready Sep 27 16:26:31 kernel: [ 690.286937] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:16:01:59:f7:9f by local choice (reason=3) Sep 27 16:26:31 kernel: [ 690.333804] wlan0: authenticate with 00:16:01:59:f7:9f (try 1) Sep 27 16:26:31 kernel: [ 690.335680] wlan0: authenticated Sep 27 16:26:31 kernel: [ 690.335698] wlan0: associate with 00:16:01:59:f7:9f (try 1) Sep 27 16:26:31 kernel: [ 690.338932] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:16:01:59:f7:9f (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) Sep 27 16:26:31 kernel: [ 690.338935] wlan0: associated Sep 27 16:26:31 kernel: [ 690.344120] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready Sep 27 16:26:42 kernel: [ 701.072025] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present Sep 27 17:47:56 netcfg[6452]: INFO: Network chosen: Horizon.

Configuring the wireless network came right in the end but the process left me a little confused, 1. What is the purpose of a manual entry for an ESSID? 2. Why does choosing to give an ESSID manually lead to the interface being disabled? 3. Shouldn't selecting an ESSID from the listed ones always succeed?
