NetworkManager: Wi-Fi detected but no connection.
by stf92 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5G1DZ)
Hi: I have just installed Slackware 14.2 and, during the installation chose NetworkManager (NM). At home I use a wi-fi modem to connect to the Internet. When running Xfce I find the NM icon with a red cross below and the message 'No network connection'. Well, then I click the icon and see my network has been detected. I select it and the system prompts me to enter a password. I begin to write the password but then and before I press the 'Connect' button a message appears saying Code:Disconnected.
The network connection has been disconnected.This is very odd because the network was already disconnected. When finally I press the 'Connect' button what happens? Absolutely nothing. There is no notification saying what the result of the operation was. And the red cross is still there. I find this disconcerting. What can possibly be happening?
One other thing: in the same machine I have Ubuntu running. And it has absolutely no problem with the wi-fi.
