From: Grant To: gentoo-user Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: d7f569e1-117b-4dd6-9f31-b1c53b47e81a X-Archives-Hash: 9660401bdbf354cda69319f651ed5c2e I'm trying to connect to a WPA2 wireless router via wicd, but I can't get past the authentication. The owner insists the password is correct. I've spoken to the administrator and I was told the router will connect Windows systems, some Mac systems, but no Linux systems. Does this amount to the typical "Linux is not supported" response, or could a router actually not work with Linux clients? I've also tried to connect via /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 and wpa_supplicant, but I can't get much information about how it's failing because it is backgrounded. Could net.wlan0 work even though wicd fails, and if so, how can I get more info from net.wlan0? - Grant
