smxi is an award-winning set of scripts for Debian that makes post-install tweaks like installing ceni for wifi network management very simple.Hey linux friends, I want to install a wifi package on my debian 6.0.7 using usb, do you have any recommendation?
(I can't connect to internet using cable on my debian)
Thanks!!!
sudo passwd rootinstall unzipcd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/smxi.zip && unzip smxi.zip && smxiinit 6smxiI was visiting the networking forum and saw this old post. Although the question may have been solved...
I don't know what kind of package you want to install for your wifi, I'll assume you just want to get it to work. I'd suggest a clean backport patch for your device, so that you just add the desired driver to your kernel using the official releases. Installing documentation also included: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
I would also recommend using wicd it so easy for wireless management as well as what has been stated above for drivers etc.
smxi is an award-winning set of scripts for Debian that makes post-install tweaks like installing ceni for wifi network management very simple.
in console [Ctrl-Alt-F1 (thru F6)] either login as root or create a root passwd first with
and then login;Code:sudo passwd root
Code:install unzipthen reboot withCode:cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/smxi.zip && unzip smxi.zip && smxiand login as root again before runningCode:init 6
And (this is the fun part) finding in these scripts where to install ceniCode:smxi
Ceni is a very powerful tool for wifi and arguably the best for wifi management in Debian
NOTE: must use either testing or unstable to be able to do this, I believe.
Best wishes!
Without more info on the hardware in question, it's all guess work...

Can you search for it (As root)
On my Arch Linux system it was located in /usr/binCode:find / -name libnl-3.so.200
find / -name libnl-3.so.200How to use? When I typed iwlwifi, it said command not foundiwlwifi is required for your Centrino card, FYI
Thank you very much!To find out if packages are installed and where from:
(posts these outputs in thread)Code:$ apt-cache policy libnl-3-200 wpasupplicant firmware-iwlwifi
libnl-3-200 is only in Debian wheezy, yet you've said you're running squeeze? (which depends on libnl1)
Because your wpasupplicant is looking for libnl-3-200, it's obvious that you have wpasupplicant from wheezy or a later release installed...

I assume you downloaded the package and installed it manually (e.g. with dpkg). It's helpful if you state this kind of thing in thread from the start.
You should download the following packages :
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.6.10-2.1_amd64.deb
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-iwlwifi_0.28 squeeze1_all.deb
You need to get these from the computer/OS where you downloaded them and get them onto the Debian system. It's up to you how you do this. Just put them in your user's home directory and install the two packages as root:
Code:$ cd ~ $ su # dpkg -i firm*28*debNow remove and reinsert the module:Code:# dpkg -r wpasupplicant # dpkg -i wpa*0.6*deb
Now configure your wifi connection:Code:# modprobe -r iwlagn ; modprobe iwlagn

Once you have a working connection you will need to fix your /etc/apt/sources.list first as follows
Take careful note of the changes and ensure that the file is exactly as above.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)Thank you very much! I'm trying. Why is APT better than dpkg?You are missing some dependencies. This is an entirely different issue than the original post.
For each "Package XYZ is not installed.", install XYZ via apt like "sudo apt-get install libnspr4".
For the lines that say something like "Version of XYZ on system is ####.", those need to be updated. "sudo apt-get upgrade"
In general (this is highly debatable), APT is better than dpkg. Why not use APT?
When a poster is using Debian, Slackware, CentOS or other such systems, I suggest giving commands as either:For each "Package XYZ is not installed.", install XYZ via apt like "sudo apt-get install libnspr4".
For the lines that say something like "Version of XYZ on system is ####.", those need to be updated. "sudo apt-get upgrade"

Thank you very much! I'm trying. Why is APT better than dpkg?
I got this
When a poster is using Debian, Slackware, CentOS or other such systems, I suggest giving commands as either:
1) Including "as normal user" or "as root" in the description; or
2) As how they will appear in a terminal: preceded by & or #.
Preceding every command with sudo and following every command with the root password is the Ubuntu way of doing things (sudo abuse). Other systems, using the normal Linux procedure, log into the root account with su. In fact, with Debian sudo is not enabled when installed. Using either of my two suggestions leaves it to the person asking for advice to decide how to enter the commands.
