Can't get Wifi connection

#1 Post by cod500 »

Hello, I am new to linux and also new to this forum. I love how light puppy 5.2 is but it won't let me connect to my wpa2 wifi. It scans and finds my router but when it asks me to put the password in, and I do, it won't connect. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.

Which tool are you using? I have never had much luck with Simple Network Setup. Network Wizard works better for me, but you need to be very careful to do all the steps correctly.

I have always had better luck setting up wifi manually. Read tempestuous' excellent instructions here.

I then put the necessary commands in my own connection script.
