In WICD there's an option to connect automatically. If you open the triangle cursor the window opens up. In ceni, you have to enter the key every time..

Hey I'm having the same problem. Unfortunately I'm more of a noob. I've tried all the things on the board, and I've installed host ap utils (or however you spell it) and pcmciautils. what do i do from there?

Nevermind I just needed to select wpa_supplicant in the roxtrem configuration. I have a connection to my wifi now, but no internet access. Iceweasel wont load any web-pages. It also shows no web activity in the system try. How do i fix this?

Luksion, I don't have wireless but my ethernet connection kept acting just like you're saying and I had to restart the connection after every boot. Idk if it's the same wireless and wired, but to do it I either had to go to Control Center>Network>Manage Network Devices and restart it or open a Terminal as root and type

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/networking restart
If it works for you then you may edit /etc/rc.local to look like this

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#

/etc/init.d/networking restart

# make sure splashy is stopped
killall splashy >/dev/null 2>&1

exit 0
and your network will be restarted automatically at boot time.
