regumhi everyone16:29
regumhow can I connect to a wifi with wpa without installing lubuntu, xubuntu etc?16:30
rbasakregum: install wpasupplicant16:30
k1lor use nmcli16:31
regumrbasak, is that the only way? I tried that16:31
regumit doens't work16:31
rbasakregum: then read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz16:31
rbasakUltimately everything else uses wpasupplicant anyway16:31
rbasakRaspbian as shipped by the Pi Foundation uses ifplugd and wpasupplicant together16:32
k1lthe question is: is it not working because you cant setup it up/use it, or is the hardware not working?16:32
rbasakOr you can just use wpa-* lines in e/tc/network/interfaces which is managed by the ifupdown plugin supplied by the wpasupplicant package.16:32
rbasakOr you can use Network Manager as k1l says.16:32
rbasakI think there's a fancy curses-style interface that doesn't need Network Manager as well, but I forget what that's called.16:33
regumThe thing is that ubuntu arm finds a wifi dongle with lsusb16:33
k1lrbasak: wicd?16:33
regumbut when I install a gui to configure it, it stops detecting it16:33
k1lregum: ah usb wifi dongle. so make sure you got the right modul loaded for the specific chip on it16:34
* ogra_ always just uses /etc/network/interfaces ... 16:34
rbasakk1l: that might be it, thanksk.16:34
regumyes, it's not like lubuntu uninstalls the driver does nit?16:35
regumhello18:01
