WPA and no wireless detected

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings all!

I have been away from Fedora for some time, but came home to old
faithful after realizing that OpenSuse was going to take forever to
patch up the kernel to fix a buggy DSDT for my Toshiba labtops.

Here is my problem, along with some details:

I have two Toshiba L505D-GS6000 laptops that are identical, I truly
mean identical.  Running lspci on both machines will yield the same
exact configuration.

I installed Fedora 14 on laptop 1, updated the system, installed wicd
and removed networkmanager (I do not like it), and then ran the
following commands.

I ran make clean && make && make install for the Realtek driver that I
need for my wireless card, all went well and I was able to modprobe it
successfully.

I then opened wicd and it saw my wireless router (WPA secured), I gave
it the necessary credentials and all is fine, typing this post from
that machine.

LAPTOP 2

Everything went identically to the above process, but I have no
listing for WPA authentication.  I have insured that wpa_supplicant is
running and all versions are the same.

I am now at a complete loss to figure out what is keeping it from
scanning the networks.

Any thoughts, ideas, comments would be greatly appreciated.
