[Wifi]I don't find network

Hello,

I have recently bought a Samsung R580 and the Wifi's chipset is a Realtek  8192e.
So, i installed the drivers in AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34281 and i installed wicd.
But when i launch wicd, i don't found wifi's network even if my laptop is next to my router.

I don't understand...

Thanks for your help

Re: [Wifi]I don't find network

Can you see other networks and just not your own?

What happens when you try to connect manually?:

(as root [substitute wlan0 with your interface if different]):
# ifconfig wlan0 down
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iwlist wlan0 scan
# iwconfig wlan0 essid <network name> key <password>
# dhcpcd wlan0

Re: [Wifi]I don't find network

Hello munkyeetr,

The problem is that i don't see my network in wicd. Only with Ethernet and not with the Wifi.
Actually, i have internet with wifi. It's very strange...
Alternatively, i have my network in wicd or not...
