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 |

thanks in advance for any help. |
