It's enough to drive a man to linux......fired up GhostBSD this morning to find that.... bwn:failed to switch channel !!!! I have seen this before during the boot process but the process ultimately boots to the desktop..........today, the warning just goes on and on...indefinitely. The only thing I ...

Like you, I am not a Geek either...........I have had a similar result but when I entered the following, I got a connection.... sudo /etc/rc.d/netif restart sudo /etc/rc.d/routing restart dhclient wlan0 or 1, whatever yours is ....the icon shows and Internet/wifi is OK but tends to be a bit flaky......

Thanks ....Fred, I have already read thru what you have set out..........I do have have a result but it is pretty messy. I have wifi but it needs manual input to get it up.....and then it is not inclined to stay if it goes into sleep mode.

I guess having two wifi devices may be a problem.....dunno?

.....sounds like an improvement.......have you let it suspend through lack of use and activated it again?.....that's one of the occasions when I lose the browser!

....I'm really thinking I have a networking problem.

Wlan0 is bcm4312 (802.11b/g LP-PHY) which has been difficult to set up in BSD................but my initial 'boot-up' of a 'live' usb installer dongle on a desktop without a wired connection showed that wifi was working with the Edimax dongle fitted and all I had to do was put in a password! Things ...

I get Firefox 'failing to respond' in 18.12 but I am also having problems with WIFI so it may be that rather than the browser.

.......be good to hear how things go for you.

..........don't think there is an answer to this........there is no way to 'edit' network manager.

I have wifi working on my GhostBSD install.......I am using an Edimax USB adaptor which I thought would be easier than trying to get myBCM4312 going. The problem is that I have to start it manually in a terminal via two commands "/etc/rc.d/netif restart" and "/etc/rc.d/routing restart...

Catching up on old business............ I couldn't get 18.10 to boot on my laptop tho it would boot on other machines. The introduction of 18.12 allowed me to successfully use 'parted /dev/sdx disk_set pmbr_boot on' which allowed me to boot and install from my USB ..........I was tipped to this step...
