hehehe, wicd is really wicked stuff :-) I had endless hassles with network manager's clients. Stuff would never work. My auth scripts to get a valid login and be allowed out of the network at work never worked right.
The damn thing would be up and down more often than my girlfriend's Windows box. I was ready to toss the notebook out the window and go back to a desktop :-) Then I found wicd. Since then I have also found peace and tranquillity, life is good, the network works as designed and I have rediscovered that I am indeed a human being as opposed to only a brutal harsh sysadmin. Not bad for a simple python script, hey? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com On Tuesday 25 August 2009 12:21:21 Massimiliano Ziccardi wrote: > Thank you Alan! > Works!! > > On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 10:10 AM, Alan McKinnon <alan.mckin...@gmail.com>wrote: > > On Tuesday 25 August 2009 09:48:34 Massimiliano Ziccardi wrote: > > > Hi all. > > > > > > This is the output of dmesg | grep iwl > > > > > > xxx ~ # dmesg | grep iwl > > > [ 1.906142] iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for > > > Linux, 1.3.27ks > > > [ 1.906249] iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation > > > [ 1.906361] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> > > > > IRQ > > > > > 17 > > > [ 1.906445] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 > > > [ 1.906464] iwlagn: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN > > > REV=0x54 [ 1.936202] iwlagn: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 24 > > > 802.11a channels [ 1.936421] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled > > > [ 1.936720] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-agn-rs' > > > > > > Could someone please point me to some documentation about how to > > > configure/activate/use wireless with gentoo? > > > > emerge wicd > > > > All your troubles will just go away.
