From: john connolly on 21 Jan 2010 17:36 Hi, I'm new to things wifi and am using a laptop that has both windows7 and slack13 installed. In several locations I find that windows7 will connect to available (unsecured) sources but slack, using wicd will not. Wicd finds the sources all right but it times out when trying to connect. I have the feeling that windows attempts to reconnect until it succeeds but I don't know how to verify that. I'm only interested to get slack13 to do the job so if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. jwc36

I prefer the console app tethereal, which has a graphical version called ethereal, too. You can watch the packets in real time or log them for later examination. Sid

Sounds right. Those are used on LANs of all kinds. Sorry I don't know more about wifi. Try comp.os.linux.networking. Sid |
