My wireless finally working ready.. After few try. I believe cubian x1 for cubietruck have bug on wireless. It can not auto scan the SSID.

How to make the wireless working...?

I do this:

be careful right click & left click, try follow below step:

1.) disconnect the network cable 2.) right click the network manager applet "Disable wireless" 3.) right click the network manager applet "Disable Networking" 4.) right click the network manager applet "Enable Networking" 5.) right click the network manager applet "Enable wireless" 6.) sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart 7.) sudo iwlist wlan0 scan 8.) left click the network manager, to check any Wireless SSID showing or NOT you can repeat the step 2 - 5 again. still can not, follow bellow step.

If still can not detect any SSID do bellow step:

9.) LEFT click the network manager, click "create New wireless network". 10.) insert your network name "wireless ssid" and key, than click create. **ignore the security type. * BUG *\ Don't have WPA. It only have WEP only, if security is WPA, fail message will display. Ignore it. Close everything. 11.) left click the network manager, check again. The SSID will show out. Click the SSID you want connect.

12.)sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

We have do something to force the wireless scan for SSID. Don't know why it can not auto scan by default. After do above, it working fine.

Cubian team need to verify the problem, wireless SSID can not auto scan and not show on Mate desktop network manager !

Thanks!

I have the same problem, the wifi can not detect any SSID

I have the problem, too. No networks are shown in the network manager.

I can workaround it, by manually "connect to a hidden network". After entering the SSID and the WPA password , it connects quite fast.

After connection, it shows available networks in the neighbourhood ;-)

cubian for desktop on cubietruck
