What's happening is there are two gray circles as the wifi attempts to connect. The first one turns green, but it never completes the next step. The syslog shows that it's waiting for the (nonexistent) DHCP server to respond. If I turn on DHCP, the connection completes, but the routing is messed up (because at that point it actually tries to use the static IP from /etc/network/interfaces). So it seems to associate eventually, but it's way too late. I need it to associate soon enough to know not to attempt DHCPDISCOVER.
I have heard the wpa_supplicant in roaming mode, although absent from the various Debian (and Debian-related) forums and wikis, can handle automatic connections to a variety of encrypted and open networks as well as network-manager does... and better when using the MadWifi drivers!
I'm trying to configure my new school wireless network (eduroam). Though it *should* work in wicd just fine, it doesn't, it fails with an error saying "failed to authentize". However it works with plain wpa_supplicant. Here's the working wpa_supplicant.conf:
[code].....
I don't see any option in the GUI configuration of wicd that is specified in wpa_supplicant.conf and not in the GUI, so it should generate a proper wpa_supplicant.conf.
Are there some more detailed wicd logs? Is there a way to give wicd the wpa_supplicant.conf part for this single essid and let it use the GUI generated one for the others? Where can I see the wpa_supplicant.conf it has generated for a connection?
I'm having some problems on the line with ***. This is from a OpenEntidade.java class file and I'm trying to update EmprestadorView's variables.

Our network uses static ip's and I cannot get them to work with Debian live. In fact, when I reboot, it always goes back to "roaming". What am I doing wrong here?
I moved to static Ip method for my laptop. I edited the interfaces file and it seems to work since I am writing this message from that laptop, but I have a new problem with my Debian. The mounts are not mounted during the startup anymore. Before I was using the network manager method and the nerwork mounts were all fine. Now with this method, they are not mounted and I need to mount them by firing "sudo mount -a" manually.
Since my dvd-writer passed away, I disconnected it from the pc and I reconnected temporarily, an older one that I have (an IDE one).My problem is, that I don't any longer have a static mount point (/dev/cdrom, or something similar), but I have a dynamic one instead (eg. for the dvd labeled "My_data", I have /media/My_data).I really dislike dynamic mount points, since I can't work from konsole (eg. eject doesn't work any more), or with cd archivers (like cdcat).
The only thing I changed is the related BIOS settings (enabling IDE controller and setting the dvdwriter to primary master).The related fstab entry didn't changed of course. (Actually, fstab didn't changed at all)./dev/scd0/media/cdrom0udf,iso9660user,noauto00
I setup a server last night and was able to remotely connect to it and access the internet with it. However, now that I have setup /etc/network/interfaces so that the server will have a static IP address, I cannot access the server remotely. Also, from the server itself, I cannot access the internet. Ping provides "unkown host" for any website I try. How do I fix this?! I don't know why this is happening.
Here is my interfaces file: Code: ... #The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 # also tried with and without auto eth0 # auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.133 netmask 225.225.225.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 This is the only NIC on the server.
Here is ifconfig: Code: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx inet addr: 192.168.1.133 Bcast:192.168.1.225 Mask:225.225.225.0 UP BROACAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txpueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes: 0 (0.0 B) Interupt: 29
I start to learn wpa_supplicant recently,and I got the code already,but the code is complicated,and I don't know how to start learning,and Is there any book to discuss the architecture about wpa_supplicant?
I installed Lenny for my new server and set a static IP the usual way:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface
I'm new to the forum and actually to Debian as well. Have been running Ubuntu for the past few years. Just setup a small Dell laptop to use as a Squeezebox and Print server. It's been up 6 days without a hitch as far as serving music to the squeezebox and printing. The problem is that it loses it's static IP, so as long as I look it up and change the radio Squeezebox and printer definitions around on the clients everything keeps working.
Does anyone have any ideas?If the connection drops for some reason and the system has to re-initialize the connection, shouldn't it use the /etc/network/interfaces file and get back to the static IP that it is configured for?If anyone has any ideas of why this could be happening or have a solution, I would really appreciate the help.
My os is debian 5.0, netcard is RTL8168D/8111D. I can't use the Static ip, if I setup static ip, output "not found network device", but the network driver have loaded and if I use DHCP mode everything is ok. do you understand my english? What my next steps should be?
I have a Dell PowerEdge SC430, Squeeze 6.0.2 box, Broadcom NetXtreme NIC which works fine DHCP. The network-manager package is not installed. I have now reconfigured /etc/network/interfaces for a static IP:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.2
I have 4 debian boxes networked together through a basic 5 port switch. I am trying to simulate 2 Local Area Networks joined together by a WAN. Right now I can communicate with A <--> B, B<----> C, C<----->D. However, I cannot communicate with Host A to Host D which is the whole point of this experiment. It has to be my static routing is not right. This is a confusing area to me. Right now my routes are

Would setting a cname mail.mydomain.no -> myipaddress.static.lyse.net cure this problem or are there more tricks to be performedOnce I have cured the FORGED_RCVD_HELO I can move to getting the IP removed from BARACUDA.
I am trying to get a wlan connection using my new Wlan-Stick. It has a Atheros ar9271 chipset.
Code:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:1006 Atheros Communications, Inc. TP-Link TL-WN422G v2 802.11g [Atheros AR9271]
Modules ath9k_htc and ath9k_htc_common are loaded. I can scan for network using iwlist or airodump and get the whole lists of networks. I've copied the config file I use with wpa_supplicant from a working system:
the "pre-shared key may be incorrect" I have rechecked the key twice and it is correct (actually it cannot be wrong because they file was copied from a working system). I have also tried to connect to a WEP encrypted network using iwconfig without success. I get no error when connecting but iwconfig tells me "Access Point: Not-Associated".Because of the "Device or resource busy" I tried a "lsof | grep -i wlan" but there are no results.
if the NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant? I normally dont use NetworkManager and decided to try it. I started it and tried it out and it works with WEP and WPA! I cant figure out why using the iwconfig command is not working by itself for WEP. WPA working with NetworkManager is just a bonus though.
I'm working on a RHEL 6 base image for virtualization and I'm trying to pare down the things that we don't need. Considering none of the virtual servers will have wireless networking, I figured it'd be good to kill that wpa_supplicant process. even with the wpa_supplicant service off, NetworkManager seems to start it right back up. There isn't any wireless devices configured, so I don't know why it does this. I can't even kill the process, it starts back up immediately. Is there something in either the Network Manager or wpa_supplicant config files that would disable it permanently?
I use a static compiled kernel and a fully encrypted disk apart from a boot partition. I have recompiled and installed kernels many times. When I tried with the latest kernel from Testing, 4.2.6, the system will not boot. Not only that but the previous kernel now does not boot. However, a stock modular kernel does boot. The static kernel hangs at:
Code: Select allVolume group "dk" not found Cannot process volume group dk /run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to internal scanning. Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... /run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory
[Code] ....
And after giving the password the boot continues successfully. How to diagnose it further?
I need to show a static image with the logo of our department while Debian boots. Is there any easy way or tool to do this? (Any parameter of the kernel maybe?) It doesn't have to be anything fancy (like a progress bar)... just a plain an simple image.
I've seen many bootsplash projects..but most of them are broken. I tried splashy (which is available on the repo), but by the time it loads, my system is already booted, so I don't really like it. note that I don't have any Xorg server installed.
When I run wpa_gui I get a "Failed to open control connection to wpa_supplicant." message and an endless stream of "PING failed - trying to reconnect". I'm sure wpa_supplicant service is running, it also seems to be working correctly (program logs show activity when I connect to a wpa secured network via gnome network manager).
The location that ctrl_interface (in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf) points to (/var/run/wpa_supplicant) is an empty folder. I'm able to connect to a simple WPA network at home, but the one at my university needs special configuration and I couldn't get it to work by editing the .conf file. That's why I need the gui. My network card is Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter, the driver is ath9k.
right now im using the nm-applet but i dont like it. it produces lags. i think the periodical ssid/broadcast check might be the cause :/it lags every minute or so...in games and skype it is very annoying! if there is a possibily to disable these scans in nm-applet it would be fine too.for the moment im "using" this wpa_supplicant config:
for weeks now I have the following problem: I am not able to connect to my wireless home network for most of the time. I am using Ubuntu 10.04; an Intel Wifi AGN4965 card and as driver "iwlagn". Maybe the solution lies within these messages (from daemon.log):

I apologize if there's a solution to this somewhere on the forum, but I searched around on google for several hours before posting this, so I assure you, I'm not trying to waste your time.Here's the deal. I have a file/print server running wpa_supplicant on interface wlan0 via ndiswrapper. Its wireless because the location I need the printer in is really inconvenient to have to run wires to, or I wouldn't have this problem.The box is running ubuntu server 10.10, with only ndiswrapper and the associated utils and wpa_supplicant installed in addition to the default packages required for file/print/web serving. (there may be a few trivial packages like Vim that should have no effect whatsoever.)Basically, wpa_supplicant associates fine with the AP, but I can't get any elegant way of getting a IP address with it, DHCP or static makes no difference. My current fix is my rc.local file has:
