Hi,
i have a pci wireless card, i think it's level one. It can pick up the signal of my wifi network but it cannot connect. Yesterday wlan connection was idle. Now i have an error. Under connection properties support tab the interface does not exist.
Help needed.
Thanks.

Hi, i have a pci wireless card, i think it's level one. It can pick up the signal of my wifi network but it cannot connect. Yesterday wlan connection was idle. Now i have an error. Under connection properties support tab the interface does not exist. Help needed. Thanks. Typed too soon in the previous. OK ... KNOS comes with an extremely verbose set of diagnostics data just in case someone has a problem. Looks like I'm going to need to see yours. Wifi is handled by our own Wifi manager thingy on the desktop - the network properties stuff in the Gnome desktop is for Linux, it doesn't work properly with BSD since BSD bears next to zero resemblance to LInux. So nothing in there is no surprise. Sorry about that! OK. What you'll need to do is go up on top once you have KNOS lit (be sure to have your toys plugged in first so that our diagnostics can "see" them) and then go up to the top of the desktop where it says "Applications." Click that, then select "System tools" and once that side panel comes up, you'll see an item marked "KNOS Diagnostics." Click that once and KNOS will run detailed hardware diagnostics and spit out a report on your desktop within a couple of seconds which is named "Diags" ... if it doesn't appear within 5 seconds, click the mouse once on the desktop and then hit Ctrl+R to refresh the screen. Should appear then. If you copy that file to a USB stick, you can email me a copy to support (at) knosproject.com from another machine and I'll be happy to look it over and see what's going on there. Our support for all sorts of wifi devices is excellent, but it's possible that some remaining manufacturers have not cooperated with the BSD folks in providing hardware specs. If we can fix it for you, we'll be happy to. |

Just so that anyone who drops in here and reads this thread knows what's going on before I email you back, the hardware is just fine all around, properly detected and all. This appears to be a problem with the communications with your router and possibly a fight between your hardwired ethernet and the radio in the same box. We're going to need to figure out just what but I'm confident we can make this all happy now that I have the diagnostics data, but I don't want to discuss the details out here in public for your security ...
