My college has an open wireless network; sometimes it fails to show in network-manager-applet. That's the first problem. The second problem, If it does show, it'll fail to connect. In order for me to connect, I had to install the iw package and type sudo iw eth1 connect <network-name> after it fails. Only then will it connect.
How do I fix this so that NetworkManager will stop acting up?
Here's the wireless adapter installed and the driver it's using. (I use AUR's broadcom-wl package because it can detect more networks and doesn't act up for me.)
[dbdii407@laptop ~]$ lspci | grep Broadcom
07:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)[dbdii407@laptop ~]$ lsmod | grep wl
wl 2558087 0
lib80211 3949 2 wl,lib80211_crypt_tkip
cfg80211 177058 1 wl
After connecting through iw
Thank you very much!
