Having just configured wifi from the command line, may I suggest: Lots of useful tips at http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/374514-control-wireless-on-the-linux-desktop-with-these-tools
Does iwconfig <your wireless device> show it has an access point? If not, concentrate on wpa_supplicant: issue in turn: wpa_cli -iwlan0 scan wpa_cli -iwlan0 scan_results repeatedly. (Substitute your wireless device for wlan0 if required). This will show you all available access points. To see why wpa_supplicant wouldn't associate, I killed the running one and ran it in foreground with maximum debug: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -iwlan0 -dd This showed me my problem straight away. Hopefully it will do the same for you, Cheers ... Duncan. On Sun, Mar 16, 2014 at 12:31:38AM +0000, stripes theotoky wrote: > Yes. Have tried the helpdesk already.
