I hate to be the first one to post with a problem but I'm having some wireless issues. I had installed antiX M8 last week and had it somewhat configured but thought it would be good to start with the most up to date release since I hadn't done TOO much customizing. Installed 8.2 earlier and it installed like a charm (as usual). However, when I setup my wireless network in wicd (just like I did in __{{emoticon}}__ it didn't work. Wicd says I am connected and have 100% signal strength, the wireless toggle light is showing that the radio is on, but when I try to go anywhere in Iceweasel I get Server not found at whatever address. Any thoughts?

Try changing to dhcpcd and auto or if you have, try dhclient and auto

I'm not very familiar with how to do that, could you go into a little more detail?

JawsThemeSwimming428,

after you setup your wireless, go to terminal:

sux
enter password

then type:
dhclient eth0

if that does not work then try

dhcpcd eth0

use the correct interface for your computer, mine is eth0, so use ath0, eth0, eth1; wlan0, or whatever it is.

there is under Control Center>Network>Connect Wirelessly>Preferences>External Programs>DHCP Client try either dhcpcd or dhclient as a permanent fix

cheers,

you can access the gui from the wicd icon on the toolbar now as well. I have an atheros chipset and ran into the same issue. I set mine to dhclient and the connection came back.

Thanks, I switched to dhclient in Wicd and everything seems to be working now. Appreciate the help!

Thanks to all for the wireless help. I found also that Ice weasel could not pick up the wireless traffic. I read the above posts, clicked the dhclient box, rebooted, then Ice weasel was working perfectly.
