I've been trying for the past few days to manually configure my network interfaces to get rid of network-manager, wicd, etc. I was successfull with my Ethernet D-LINK board. But I am stuck with my wifi board (D-LINK System Inc DWL-510 / DWL-610 [Realtek RTL8180L] (rev20) driver rtl818x_pci, kernel v2.6.25-, pciid 11863300). I have been trying so many other solutions that I now need some guidance. I have no 'wpa_supplicant.conf' in /etc. I do not think the problem is with the installation. File '/etc/network/interfaces' is as below :
