how do i get my wifi working?

bakedin

it is a rtw88 wifi card i believe. And i see that This module is loaded already. ..so im not sure what to do.

Let me know how i can best help myself. I'm trying to quit debian.

Have you tried clicking the network icon on the panel and setting up wifi with networkmgr?

before the network manager toolbar applet had just two clickable options but now i see an option to select available connections.. I beleive i had to initiate that first though. ... ive been messing with it for a momnet.

But the problem i have now is it isnt actually connecting and i also dont think the lsit of networks is refreshing like it should.

It is a F515EA-AH34 Asus. The wificard has been working fine with the previous OS.

I'll keep this thread on my desktop incase people ask questions.

Thanks from west Maryland.

I just set up a PC on GhostBSD yesterday and WiFi worked immediately... well... I had to click on the network icon (upper right) and enable ixl0. Other than that, it just worked! 🤠

I think this a mostly a Hardware issue. If you have the accepted hardware! it WORKS!

we need to know what wifi chip set you have in your system. In the old-forums (search on word 'edimax') there was a page showing 3 files to edit, /etc/rc.conf , /boot/loader.conf , /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Read through the following explanation:

In Telegram Ghostbsd group. There was a shell script file , "help_mywifigo.sh" that output details of the wifi chipset.

networkmgr does all the work of editing those 3 files. Hope this is a start. Fred Here are 4 commands to issue to get connected to a wifi wpa2 encrypted or else an open access , wifi access point. in file /etc/rc.conf for open access , remove word 'WPA' next to word DHCP. for encrypted access point signal,

insert word WPA

killall wpa_supplicant
killall dhclient
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhclient wlan0
