Hello!

I've just installed my first sabayon linux - Sabayon-5.1-rc1_AMD64-K on a Dell Latitude E6400, with Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100.

My wireless card was detected correctly and I had no problem to set up and connect to my network... except that once connected, it's unreachable.

lspci shows:

Note: I use the same IP address for both connections, I prefer to use wireless and only use it with the network cable disconnected. When I use the ethernet controller I disable the wireless card from a hardware switch on the side of the laptop.

do you have any Idea of what I'm missing here?

Thanks and Regards,

Is your wireless network unencrypted, WEP-encrypted or WPA-encrypted? If it is an encrypted network, is your router configured to hide the network SSID (network name)? If it is, configure your router to unhide the network so that NetworkManager can discover the network. You can then configure the router to hide it again (although it's a waste of time, as it is possible to detect networks that hide the SSID anyway*). See the post Two Issues: Can't connect to WPA network. Dual boot WinXP. and the one following it.

* According to NetworkManager developer Dan Williams:

Hiding isn't actually a useful method of increasing security, since the
AP's beacon and BSSID are always available in probe responses; so anyone
can actually get the SSID irregardless of whether the AP is broadcasting
that information in its beacon.

You can also read in the thread Browser not working [Solved] about some other tests you should perform.

Sorry, none of those posts can help me:

- First post was about not being able to connect to the network, I can successfully connect, the kdenetwokrmanager shows the connection as active and I got my wlan0 interface UP as shown on the "ifconfig -a" that I posted.

The network is WEP-Encrypted, but is not hiding the network name.

-Second post was about a browser not working, but the user could ping to his router and even google. I can't even ping to my router, as shown on the post.

I think it's something about the autoconfiguration kdenetworkmanager does... Will try to set up manually and see what happens.

My IP is 10.200.5.200, router is 10.200.5.1. Resulting "ifconfig -a" and "route -n" is shown on the first post.

Oh, another thing... running the "route" command without the -n flag takes forever once connected to the wireless, so there may be a resolv issue, but I haven't been able to find it... =/

Try using Wicd instead of NetworkManager if you're using a static IP address. It is possible to set up NetworkManager to use a static address, but no one using SL seems to have success with it (if you search the SL forums), whereas those who use Wicd seem to have no trouble. Replacing NetworkManager with Wicd is straightforward: see the SL wiki article HOWTO: Replace NM with WICD.

Thank you so much!!!, after installing WICD I just had to set up my network and it's working now!!! =)

You have saved a Sabayon installation for now... =) (I was just about to install OpenSuse in it's place)

Should be a sticky post with this issue on the forum...

Thanks again, my best regards,
