Hi there guys, Get comfortable cause this might take a while...
I wasnt sure if this post should be put here or in the ps3 section, so forgive me if im out of place
Basically, i installed yellow dog 6.1 on my playstation 3 last night, installation ran smoothly and everything was working fine until i got to the internet...
i have the BT HomeHub2( the black one) and it is WPA-PSK. it lets me connect to the net through my ps3 quite happily(which is how im managing to post this now ) but when i enter the details and try to connect through wicd it hangs on the validating authentication screen... so i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on that situation?
but more importantly at the moment of time, i had a look through athis forum, and noticed that some people had mentioned that the stock version of wicd doesnt always work, and there were some patches/patched versions available to download.. so ive downloaded these, went to extract the files, but found they were .PHP files, which quite frankly, being a noob, i have no idea what to do with these.
i then went through sourceforge(or softpedia, cant remember which) and downloaded wicd 1.6.2.2
i used yum remove wicd to get the previous wicd off my system
and then /home/dale/wicd-1.6.2.2/setup.py install to try and install this newer version, but that doesnt seem to have worked, which now leaves me without any form of wicd, and seemingly no possible way or getting online..
so basically, im wondering if anyone can help me re-install wicd, and then maybe give me some advice on how to get online
as you've probably noticed im a complete linux noob having only started using it last night, and have problem jumped straight in at the deep end, but any little bit of help would be greatly appreciated.. im cracking up here :S
thanks, Dale
