Unable to connect for the first time from linux



  • I'm unable to follow the first time setup isntructions. I can see the AP listed in my wireless list, wicd (my wireless client) appears to try and connect, but it doesn't. Are there any "gotchas" on doing this from linux? Settings:

    • wicd
    • tried WPA 1/2 with both passphrase and hex([0-9/a-f]) options and default (123...78)
    • arch linux, kernel 4.9

    dmesg output:

    Any suggestions of what I might need to do differently?



  • Interesting. I was able to connect using wifi-menu vs. wicd. I guess I'm a happy camper now, though still confused!
