Re: dhcpcd is timing out.

Same ndiswrapper version.

I think the best thing to do would be to update... Is there a way I can take the newest ndiswrapper/kernel/dhcpcd/whatever else I need and use that? I just want my internet to work...

youre not associating with the access point so testing dhclient doesnt make sense

for the kernel: you can compile it and package it elsewhere and then install it. this is advanced but it's covered by the wiki. see compiling with abs, makepkg, etc etc

Re: dhcpcd is timing out.

It's covered, but looks complicated...

First, I need ABS. How do I install that without any internet? It seems to be an endless cycle...

Maybe I should come back to Arch once I get a new comp...  And I was looking forward to it too. I'll still try though!

Re: dhcpcd is timing out.

SUCCESS!!! (Well, Kinda).

I managed to get the card to associate with a neighbor's unencrypted network. However, I still can't connect to my network, so my router is the problem. However, at the dhcpcd wlan0, it times out. I have dhclient from the /extra/ repo on my HDD now, so I'm going to boot into Arch again and hope it works.

Re: dhcpcd is timing out.

Aand, I'm back...

*cheers for himself*

I completely borked my system, but managed to get back to where I was previously, with my card scanning, and associating only to non-secured networks. dhclient isn't being installed from my pkg that I downloaded, and dhcpcd is timing out. Help?

Re: dhcpcd is timing out.

I couldn't get dhcpcd working with my new router so I replaced it with dhclient and it worked straight away.
If you've installed dhclient, you can try running it manually from the command line. If that works, you can then edit /etc/rc.d/network and replace "dhcpcd" with "dhclient".

Re: dhcpcd is timing out.

The issue is, I can't get dhclient. For some strange reason, it isn't on my CD and if I download the dhclient tarball from the repo and put it on my HD in windows, Pacman won't install it with pacman -U
