I am having problems with the wireless connection in Trinity 3.5.13.2 My trusty wicd has just let me donw for the first time. KWiFiManager fares no better. The box is a laptop, and must be able to rove - and get connected when doing so.
I can launch the connection manually, but it is for someone else and it is mission critical that she should be able to do one click, or at most two, and wireless is launched. What can I do to get this thing launching automatically?
The wireless controller is an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG in a Dell Inspiron 9300.
Ideas please!

I have had no problems with network-manager recently

How do you run network-manager in Trinity 3.5.13.2? I'd love to use it instead of wicd. The problem Lisi describes is exactly what I've had wicd do too many times, and the reason I've had to put some users on XFCE and its fantastic wireless manager, instead of Trinity.
I have the same problem in 3.5.13.2 - no network-manager applet in Debian Wheezy. I hope something will be made in 14, as my solution for this problem is quite temporary. It was possible to install applet by installing older Network Manager from Squeeze, but it makes dependency mess at least with GTK (some apps won't run, e.g. Audacious or even Zenity). Wicd is good, but is not perfect, especially with two-factor certificate Wi-fi security (eduroam if you are curious), I'm using just bare wpa-supplicant for it, so it needs console typing to be started.

On my Jessie + R14 test box the trinity networkmanager works.

I use Gnome's nm-applet in Trinity 3.5.12.2 without problems. It doesn't fit in so well and sometimes there are redraw problems with the tray icon, but it works fine other than that.

I tried it, but can't get it to work. All I get is a little square dot as an icon, and "Device not managed" where wireless networks should show up. Am I missing something? (This is on Debian Wheezy.)

Someone on the Debian list offered the following solution:
# rmmod ipw2200 ; sleep 1; modprobe ipw2200
It worked for me! You would, of course, have to substitute whatever your network card's module is for ipw2200, but it might be worth a try.

The answer turned out to be: # rmmod ipw2200 ; sleep 1; modprobe ipw2200
wicd is now working without a hitch. I feel that it cannot in fairness be blamed for a module's failure to install properly. ;-)
Thanks for your replies.
