I've tried the stable and unstable version based off of Debian and when trying to connect wirelessly, both say "the network has disconnected"
Could you provide a little more information?
Did your wireless work previously? Could you give some info on your hardware? Is there a hardware switch for your wireless card?
My wireless works fine with others distros I have on my computer.
I'm using a Dell Latitude E6400 and it does have a switch, and it's on
:cool:
My usb wireless stick is card 2 and is working just fine in wpa security mode. Kinda hard to guess till you post some kind of readouts like from here.Code:$ inxi -Fxz

But it may behoove you to install it and run it to show if anything in switches or bios is hard blocking wireless since you have a laptop.Code:~$ apt-cache policy rfkill
