Afternoon all,

I have used the search etc. but can't seem to find a trace of anyone having this specific problem. Running AntiX 13.2 from the Live CD, or from HD (I altered no settings during install), ceni returns the following error message:

n180211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands

Now, here's the thing: running from the live CD, after this error message, it works anyway!

Running from HD, using the default boot, i.e. pressing no buttons and letting the machine do its thing, ceni stops at this error message. The boot string in this case is:

root=/dev/sda1 quiet

On the other hand, after choosing the following boot:

root=UUID=8b091c3b-f4a6-423d-b5a7-d645028e1289 ro

The behaviour is the same as under the LiveCD: ceni shows the error message, but works anyway!

The relevant line from lspci is:

02:02.0 Network Controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter (rev 04)

I would be delighted if anyone can explain this enigma.

Cheers

n180211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands

Probably just a 'warning message'.

(Is /dev/sda1 actually the same disk as UUID=8b091c3b-f4a6-423d-b5a7-d645028e1289 ?)

One more notion: does the error come before or after configuring the interface in ceni?

also, you shouldn't need to run ceni but once to setup the network. The way it works, your settings will survive a reboot.

Thank you both for two thoughtful replies.

fatmac: To my embarassment, I'm afraid I can't answer your question about the drive's UUID. Could you tell me how I would find this out?

Dolphin: thanks for the tip: it certainly does stay configured, so just launching rutilt is enough to get me online, which is nice.

type, as root:

blkid

it will give you a list of the uuids for the devices.
