cant get network working with installer
cant get network working with installer
I am installing from a mini.iso and loading ipw2200-bss.fw and the installer keeps on asking me to select a network and give it the password. The network I am trying to use uses wpa/wpa2.

Re: cant get network working with installer
There are unofficial non-free images available, perhaps use those instead?
Otherwise please post exactly how you are "loading ipw2200-bss.fw" because you may have done it wrong.

Its not the firmware the firmwares fine. Its something to do with authentication but I dint know what.

Re: cant get network working with installer
Are you sure you are using the right password ?give it the password
wpa/wpa2 require password to use .The network I am trying to use uses wpa/wpa2.
==== edit ====
I have found that for installation purposes, it is easier to change my router settings, and instead of using wpa2, select the "open (none) " option, this makes it where no password is needed, later after the installation is done, I set the router back to a more secure setting, "wpa2-PSK",
Of course if this is not your network, I mean, if you are not the network admin, then that is not a option.

My receipt for wifi:ek4 wrote:Its not the firmware the firmwares fine. Its something to do with authentication but I dint know what.
1. Install wpasupplicant
2. edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code: Select all
network={
ssid="networks SSID"
psk=password
}
Code: Select all
(as root): chmod 400 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code: Select all
-r-------- 1 root root 95 maali 11 12:31 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code: Select all
(as root) wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code: Select all
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
up /sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
up dhclient wlan0
My wifi uses WPA2.
This approach works only with traditional ifupdown. I do not use network-manager or any gui-apps to make things worse. Has worked.
EDIT: After posting read the subject again, and this I just wrote is not relevant to installation. But might give some advice to later phase, if wifi is not working.

2 previous posters:
as per op, this is during installation.
my thougths:
- if the router is nearby, use a wired connection during installation
- or disable encryption for the duration of installation
- or use an installation image that already includes the required firmware
