Not exactly, but it was one of the programs I tried out, and apparently it left the device like half configured. > If you're not using dhcp, then no dhclient process should be running. > You should find out what's invoking it and stop it. It's not running anymore.

I was trying out different programs while attempting to solve the problems. I wouldn't want those as a permanent way to set up the network card anyway. > AFAIK, Debian doesn't modify wpa_supplicant, but when you properly > configure /etc/network/interfaces, then the Debian network scripts will > create the appropriate wpa_supplicant config file (on the fly?) and > properly invoke wpa_supplicant, pointing it at the appropriate config > file. When this works, you can see what Debian's done by grepping > through the output of 'ps ax' for 'wpa_supplicant'. It seems that Debian has provided scripts that read entries from /etc/network/interfaces and then use wpa_supplicant to set up the wireless networking accordingly. That way, there is no need for a wpa_supplicant.conf. And it's working fine now :) It's even pretty easy once you know how to do it, but this was the first time I've set up a wireless card/connection. Maybe I can improve on the documentation in the Debian wiki ... and make an article about setting up this particular network card or something ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
