Pedro:

I experienced the same problem than you, running in"live" mode.
"iwlist ath0 scan" shows my network (as does wicd, and ceni)
Either using wicd, or ceni, or editing /etc/network/interfaces..., I have the same result: I get no IP address using DHCP.

I will try with another wifi access, using static IP addresses.

Pedro:

Follow-up:
I configured my interface to use a static IP address. It works. Now that I am sure my WEP key is OK - andthe connection works, I will try to go back to DHCP...

Yves,

I'm glad you got it working. I tried setting a static IP address for my ethernet connection (using CENI) and it still did not work, even though the gateway, DNS, etc were all configured properly.

I hope it's a liveCD issue and once it's installed in HD then this issue resolves itself. I wonder if that is what other people have experienced.

Hopefully Anti will have some suggestions.

Pedro

Pedro:

I just did a successful HD-install on a SD card.
I used wicd to enter my WEP key and the network wake up instantly.

You have a wired ethernet connection?

I will repeat the test from my liveUSB. I succeeded in live mode by manually editing the /etc/network/interfaces file, I think that ceni does write this file. For a static IP address, it should look like:

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

then run
#ifconfig eth0 down
#ifconfig eth0 up
#/etc/init.d/networking restart

Hope this will help
