[SOLVED]Can't get WiFi working

[kornesque]

I'll make this brief in case there's something simple I'm not aware of. Installed 5.1 and the installer configured and used my wireless adapter fine. After the reboot it acknowledges there is a wlan0 interface but I cannot bring it up, the dashboard says it is down. Manually bringing it up using ifconfig results in it being listed under ifconfig but it does not have an IP, even when I make it static in the dashboard.

Is there a simple trick to get this working? Thanks.

Solved:
Involves the installation of iwcd-gtk but it works great, even after restart.

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install wicdshould get the package installed. During the install it asks for the user who can modify the iwcd settings and seemed to use the current user. I was logged in as the admin configued at Zentyal install and it finished up fine. Afterwards simply run

Code: [Select]

iwcd-gtk should launch the GUI, find available networks and allow you to configure and start them. Settings persist after reboot. Good luck.
