[SOLVED] net-auto-wireless.service failed

Hello,

after a new installation of Arch with systemd, net-auto-wireless.service failed to load.

net-auto-wireless.service - Provides automatic netcfg wireless connection
      Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/net-auto-wireless.service; enabled)
      Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri, 2012-11-02 03:16:30 CET; 26min ago

It seems that is a problem with "nl80211". The only way to connect is to run wifi-menu.

How can I solve the problem?


Thank you!
Riccardo

Re: [SOLVED] net-auto-wireless.service failed

Did you install rfkill?

Re: [SOLVED] net-auto-wireless.service failed

Copy this unit to /etc/systemd/system: https://github.com/brain0/netcfg/blob/w … 40.service. Then run

# systemctl disable net-auto-wireless.service
# systemctl enable net-auto-wireless@wlan0.service

This should fix it. This will hopefully be merged into the next netcfg release.

Thank you. Now it's working. But is it a bug?

So, If I have to add a new wi-fi connection, have I to do the same? How can I see the connection icon in the panel?


Thank you again.

Re: [SOLVED] net-auto-wireless.service failed

This is a bug in netcfg - with the old unit, it doesn't wait for the interface to exist.

What is the "connection icon"? netcfg has no such thing.

I explain myself better: I'm using Gnome as DM, in the panel (upper right) there isn't the connection icon. How can I see it?


Thank you.

That's the network manager applet. If you want to use it, you have to use network-manager to manage your connections instead of netcfg.

Ok. How can I use network-manager instead of netcfg? Through systemd (systemctl disable/enable)?


Thank you.

Has this bug been solved with the November snapshot?

I answer myself: maybe I will try network-manager installing it instead of netcfg smile
