| regum | hi everyone | 16:29 |
|---|---|---|
| regum | how can I connect to a wifi with wpa without installing lubuntu, xubuntu etc? | 16:30 |
| rbasak | regum: install wpasupplicant | 16:30 |
| k1l | or use nmcli | 16:31 |
| regum | rbasak, is that the only way? I tried that | 16:31 |
| regum | it doens't work | 16:31 |
| rbasak | regum: then read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz | 16:31 |
| rbasak | Ultimately everything else uses wpasupplicant anyway | 16:31 |
| rbasak | Raspbian as shipped by the Pi Foundation uses ifplugd and wpasupplicant together | 16:32 |
| k1l | the question is: is it not working because you cant setup it up/use it, or is the hardware not working? | 16:32 |
| rbasak | Or 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 |
| rbasak | Or you can use Network Manager as k1l says. | 16:32 |
| rbasak | I 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 |
| regum | The thing is that ubuntu arm finds a wifi dongle with lsusb | 16:33 |
| k1l | rbasak: wicd? | 16:33 |
| regum | but when I install a gui to configure it, it stops detecting it | 16:33 |
| k1l | regum: ah usb wifi dongle. so make sure you got the right modul loaded for the specific chip on it | 16:34 |
| * ogra_ always just uses /etc/network/interfaces ... | 16:34 | |
| rbasak | k1l: that might be it, thanksk. | 16:34 |
| regum | yes, it's not like lubuntu uninstalls the driver does nit? | 16:35 |
| regum | hello | 18:01 |
