Hi everyone!
This is my first post and it is to beg for help. Beg because I can't seem to put my wireless working on Parsix.
The chipset is the one mentioned on the subject.
I tried the "Note for Intel Wireless 3945/4965 Users" but with no results.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks |

Did you have to do something for it to work? I just went to Network on the gnome menu and chose the options for my wireless network:
ESSID, wep, key and DHCP. But it doesn't work..
What did you do to put it working? |

So could you get IP from your DHCP server? did you try to add router MAC address to your configuration? This helps many times.
Open a root terminal and:
Code:
# ifup wlan0
if it can not get IP, press Ctrl+C
Code:
# iwlist wlan0 scan
Find your routers mac address in result lines like:
Cell 01 - Address: 00:1E:2A:57:46:16
copy the part after "Adress: " and use Applications->Parsix->Network Configuration tool to reconfigure your wlan0 card.
You can always use the following command to check if it can get IP from DHCP server or not:
Code:
# ifup wlan0

Well, I have to say that I am a newbie. Let's get things together. I think that's the problem, i.e., it can't get IP.
In all Linux distributions with gnome I used the followings specs and it worked just fine:
- essid- xpto
- wep key decimal
- network password - ......
- automatic configuration dhcp
I tried the parsix network configuration tool and I get:
-1 chose wlan0 wireless device 00:1b:77:19:eb:71
-2 essid XPTO
- nwid (nothing)
- managed
- channel number (nothing)
- access point address (when I type iwlist scan wlan0 it says unknown command)
- frequency rate (nothing)
- no wpa support
- encryption key (....)
- didn't chose additional parameters
...
...
11- dhcp broadcast (yes)
I would make a suggestion here. Why not make this steps fewer? 11 steps to get things working it's alot. And why isn't it working after setting up the specs on "network", in the gnome menu?
Can you guide me here?
Thanks very much for your help and congratulations for this distro. |

OK,  that's a little advanced tool. The point is router's MAC address. It's needed by new 1.2.x versions of iwlwifi drivers. |

Already typing from Parsix.  It was the Address that was missing. That's why the configuration done on the System/Administration/Network wasn't working?
And just another thing: why that when I try to add extra repositories (deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian sid main contrib non-free restricted
deb-src http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian sid main contrib non-free restricted) the result is that a certain license key couldn't be retrieved?
I wanted to install frostwire...
Thank you Alan. |

Do a:
Code:
# apt-get install debian-unofficial-archive-keyring && apt-get update
And this will solve your problem. |

After adding the extra repositories and apt-get update:
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org sid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 394D199524C52AC3
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

E: Couldn't find package debian-unofficial-archive-keyring
After this I tried (http://www.debian-unofficial.org/faq.html):

And the apt-get update gets the same info:
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org sid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 394D199524C52AC3
Any clue on why this GPG error occurs?
Thanks in advance. |
