At home I use a wired connection so did notice the following problem |
2 |
until I traveled and tried to connect wirelessly. |
3 |
The problem must have started sometime within the past month. |
4 |
|
5 |
If I have wicd started by systemd, i.e. |
6 |
systemctl enable wicd |
7 |
The wired network is started fine but not the wireless. Instead, I see |
8 |
in the systemd journal |
9 |
|
10 |
wicd[290]: Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wired error: No |
11 |
such file or directory |
12 |
wicd[290]: Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wireless error: No |
13 |
such file or directory |
14 |
|
15 |
If I instead systemctl disable wicd, reboot, and then manually type |
16 |
wpa_supplicant -i wireless -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B |
17 |
it works. |
18 |
|
19 |
Indeed after I have booted I can start wicd and cannot get the error |
20 |
above, but the actual behavior is not consistent. |
21 |
|
22 |
My system is ~amd64, profile gnome/systemd |
23 |
|
24 |
My wireless driver is from the package broadcom-sta (wl) |
25 |
|
26 |
thanks in advance for any help. |
