Yeah, use the command line. It's been repeatedly stated that WiFi Assistant generally sucks.Originally Posted by 325ci

well im kind of newbie i do not know the commands for the konsole, any link for it or help on it please? for wpa2 and wep or just opn
whats your wireless card?
unencrypted for any wireless cards
ifconfig <interface> up
iwconfig <interface> essid "ESSID"
iwconfig <interface> mode Managed
dhcpcd -nd <interface>
WEP - any wireless card
WPA with Ralink cards, e.g RT61ifconfig <interface> up
iwconfig <interface> essid "ESSID"
iwconfig <interface> key HEXKEY
iwconfig <interface> mode Managed
dhcpcd -nd <interface>
*** Note if using ascii key instead of hex key you do the following
iwconfig <interface> s:asciikey
WPA with other types of cards e.g R8187ifconfig <interface> up
iwconfig <inteface> essid "ESSID"
iwpriv <interface> set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv <interface> set EncrypType=TKIP
iwpriv <interface> set WPAPSK="WPAPSKKEY"
dhcpcd -nd <interface>
I use ndiswrapper with the windows driver for 8187, and wpa supplicant
waow thank you so much,
WORKS. Thank you all...
This has been covered a LOT. You only need to search. There are a number of posts and tutorials.
For using WPA search for the term "wpa_supplicant". The wpa_supplicant controls how WPA encryption functions, and what operating parameters (TPIK, AES, etc.) are used.
To join a WLAN encrypted using WEP, you need to use "iwconfig".
There is no "opn" type of wireless network. I'm assuming you mean a wireless network that is unencrypted. An "open network" which is a misnomer, as "open" is an authentication type under WEP. To authenticate and join an unencrypted wireless network, you also need to use "iwconfig".
Understand that you may also need to learn and use other command line programs, such as "ifconfig", "dhcpcd", and "wlanconfig", depending on the brand of card and chipset, and the particulars of the WLAN you are attempting to join.

i agree, it is best to learn the manual way - command line
I have similar issues with ubuntu and the manual way is much better
as you advance in your knowledge I'm sure you will learn to do some basic scripting and automate things for yourself
i had this problem BUT i figured a small work around...kinda...basically DONT keep the wireless assitant window open as soon as your connected then close it.....also usually takes me 2goes to connect to my own network with it...hope that makes sense and helps
