While I have Internet, of a sort, I still have a few glitches; for example, I
cannot go offline, then go online again. Somehow, wicd either auto-connects
to my wifi network; when instead, I want to enable wifi, then look at the
available network choices, because my local network has several nodes or
access points within the building where I live, and somehow it doesn't always
choose the strongest or closest signal. I have an access point right outside
my door, yet autoconnect seems to avoid it.
But when I try to disconnect, sometimes wicd seems to hang on, and show me
still connected, yet I can't download emails or go online for other stuff.
When I run macchanger, it keeps showing me that my mac address changes; and I
run knetstats-trinity (which is a nice simple gui tool) and it shows my
wireless is connected then disconnected, shows activity then no activity; yet
in reality, I can't go online. So my only recourse at this point is to
reboot.
When I tried to get tdenetworkmanager to run, I had those problems already
discussed earlier. I managed to download the packages and dependencies to
install network-manager-tde without systemd, so it all *seems* like it ought
to work out right, but I always end up going back to wicd; which, again, is
only sort of half-working at the moment, and I must keep rebooting.
How would I go about pruning away the wicd stuff that I don't want, and
keeping only the tdenetworkmanager and required dependencies, etc.? I've
search apt-get, but I believe that I already have all the dependencies and
recommends. I can't think what else I might have missed.
