I've recently switched to using Slackware 14 on my laptop, so far I'm quite happy with the distro, except for 1 really annoying little thing: I can surf using hotspots, and all sorts of public wifi-access-points, but I can't seem to get on-line at home.
Prior to running Slackware, I was using Debian, so yes, my laptop has been on my home network, without mac-spoofing or anything.
Currently, I've setup my wlan interface as eth1, and added these lines in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Which does the trick, it seems, using something like wpa_cli or wpa_gui, I can easily connect to my home network.
I therefore changed the wpa_supplicant file a bit, adding:
network={
ssid="HomeSweetHome"
psk=0123464sdasd4d56agr6 #output from wpa_passpharse HomeSweetHome mypassphrase
key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK #and so on
}
But no matter what I do (use settings above, or connect manually) I can connect to other machines on the LAN, but as soon as I try to google something, nothing happens. Constantly "Waiting for siteX" is all I get.
Does anybody here have any idea as to what I'm missing here? There has to be something I haven't configured as supposed to here... I can't think of anything ATM, though.
Update:
Yes, I can ping 8.8.8.8, no problem. I can add network locations and share files with the other computers in the network, too.
