wicd daemon doesn't start

[andfree]

I want to connect to internet via a wifi adapter. I installed wicd and its icon has been created. But when I click on it, nothing happens. Nothing also happens when I run:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo wicd

Not enough information here to help you.
You may need to install the driver and firmware.
Show the output of 'lspci -nn'.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ lspci -nn
/bin/sh: lspci: not found
tc@box:~$


[gerald_clark]

Install it.

Use App's provides button to find the package that contains lspci.

These three are listed:

grub2-efi.tcz
grub2.tcz
pci-utils.tcz

I installed pci-utils.tcz. Afterwards:

I see no wifi controller there.  Is it a USB controller?
If so you need to post the output of 'lsusb';

What does "ifconfig -a" show?

[bmarkus]

Probably missing firmware. Check dmesg.

I installed firmware.tcz. Now what? Wicd still doesn't start.
