Hello
So.... wifi-select blew up. I could connect fine last night, now it wont connect to anything (Authentication fail), or if it does connect... it hasn't, I can't ping anything.
I get this at boot:
:: Starting Network
up: error fetching interface information: Device not found
rc.conf:
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(wlan0)
lspci | grep Network
Network Controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
I installed the b43 drivers
MODULES=( b43 !b43legacy )
thanks

After you start up, what does 'ifconfig -a' say?

And can you manually start it up once you're logged in?
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <SSID of your wireless>
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo dhcpcd wlan0
EDIT: Fixed 'iwconfig'

wlan0: waiting for carrier

Did you make sure to set the essid with iwconfig? If you did, make sure that essid actually exists on a network by doing the following:
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID
That'll give you a list of the ESSIDs being broadcasted.

Interface needs to be up before issuing iwconfig commands.

No, the interface just needs to be recognized by 'ifconfig -a'. You can set the essid with iwconfig regardless of whether it's up or down.

Thanks, the essid is correct though.
The only thing I changed was putting 'wlan0' in the first command
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid internets
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo dhcpcd wlan0

Doh, forgetting the iface was my fault.
By chance is this a new install that you just did last night?

Yeah, pretty much.
It was working for a good few reboots/hours though.

It's weird - I can connect to a few of my neighbour's routers fine, just not mine. My HTC connects fine though.
WPA Authentication/Association Failed
Security is WPA 2 Personal, and the password is correct, I even tried removing it.
So in my profile, could it be something to do with
security="wpa"
?
Maybe drivers?

Post the output of 'lspci -nnvv' relevant to your wireless and ethernet hardware.
Are the neighbors you're able to connect to using WPA(2) on their networks or are they unsecured?

Thanks for the reply
