Hallo Joel,
may I ask, how you managed to set your Wifi-Adapter to 5GHz?
After moving to a new place where I have to go wireless with my Desktop
(WTH?!), yesterday I ran into a similar issue, with wpa_supplicant
(both, with '-D wext' and with '-D nl80211') as well as with a pure
'/etc/network/interfaces' config) [1]:
With both available USB-WiFi-Dongles (rtl8192cu and rt2800usb), I can
see the devices
$ iw dev
$ iw list
resp.
$ iw phy0 info
as well as the available networks
$ iw wlan0 scan
but dhclient times out, when querying the "Fritzbox":
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
Installing NetworkManager via Android-AP and '/etc/network/interfaces',
as an "emergency workaround", solved the issue for now. Interestingly,
$ iw dev
tells me, that I am not connected with 5GHz, as I first had assumed,
but on
channel 11 (2462 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2462 MHz
Now I'd be curious to see, if with 5Ghz I can go back to my plain old
config - and how it compares to 2.4GHz in a wooden House.
Thank you and libre Grüße,
Florian
BTW: I was very surprised to find chimaera's wicd depending on
networkmanager!
