wicd after installer: wlan0 in config instead of wlp3s0 #260

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install to HD with pentoo-installer
2. As root, run 'startx'
3. Try to select wireless network in wicd client/gui

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No networks are available.
Strange, since the USB stick used to install showed the networks prior to 
installation.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
Temporary solution:
In /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf, change:
wireless_interface = wlan0
to
wireless_interface = wlp3s0

Can't tell yet where this file is coming from.
But was looking somewhere else, so this costed quite some time.

pentoo is still using the old style names for ethernet devices and will remain 
so for the forseeable future.

you can add "net.ifnames=0" to your kernel command line to get the old style 
names back.
