jimi_hendrix · 2008-10-26 16:24:39

so i just reinstalled arch because of this and it happend again...

i connect to my wireless no problem following the beginner's guide right after install and begin to configure X...but i mess up and have to reboot

after fixing my problem i am ready to install a DE (KDE 4.1 because i have never used it before and i want something new)

i enter the command in pacman and get a long error message about how it couldnt find the servers

i ping google and it couldnt find that

so i try to reconnect to the internet and i get this when i enter ifconfig wlan0 up

SIOCSIFFLAGS : No such file or directory

Please specify your network card model, how could we investigate the problem otherwise?

hehe my fault...ive googled around and it seems that the earlier version of the card had problems too with arch but my internet worked seemlessly on ubuntu

my card is the Intel Pro/Wireless 4965

I generally connect tot he internet via a cable until I have a DE and graphical network manager installed - I'll admit it, I don't like configuring wireless from the terminal.
However, that's the same wireless card I have, so I know it works great. Have you got the correct module (iwl4965) loaded?

That is a similar message I get when the external wifi switch is turned off.. Also make sure that the firmware is installed.
