Topic: Wireless diagnostics

So I'm fairly inexperienced with linux systems and I'm having issues with getting wicd to discover wireless networks, so I'm wondering what some good diagnostic approaches are.  Thanks.

Re: Wireless diagnostics

Can you give us some details like what computer, what wireless chip etc..
And have you tried connecting with normal network-manager

I once installed gentoo. It asked me for a sacrifice and would not install itself unless I gave him my neighbor's first born and my best bottle of Whiskey.  -Awebb 2011

Re: Wireless diagnostics

So I guess it was a problem with the router broadcasting and not my compy.  I'd still be interested to know general diagnostic tools.  Maybe like a way to get error information and such.
