Ok, got it installed and I can get the interface to scan and I can see all of the available cells (all of my neighbors), including my own. However when I do a test connect, this is what I get back: Trying to associate with e0:46:9a:35:fb:98 (SSID='Nymphadora' freq=2412 MHz) ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Device or resource busy Association request to the driver failed Associated with 00:00:00:00:00:00 CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=e0:46:9a:35:fb:98 reason=0 Over and over and over again. Please note, NetworkManager is still running. If I stop NM, that interface disappears and an attempt to scan tells me: > iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down So evidently, I need NM running for the interface to be present. How can I do that without NM? On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 9:29 PM, Barry Brimer <lists at brimer.org> wrote: > <snip> > > > Great ... now how do I configure this sucker?
