Thread: Wireless network works fine using Network Manager but does not work when using Bash->

hello,

i'm trying connect wireless network using bash shell. although can connect wireless networks fine using network manager in gnome, keep getting ipv4ll address when trying connect using commands in bash. using -l (avoids ipv4ll addresses) switch dhcpcd command doesn't work. can detect wireless using "iwlist scanning" command though.

commands used while attempting connect using bash:

code:

peterswinkels@petelp2:~$ sudo ifconfig eth1 down  peterswinkels@petelp2:~$ sudo ifconfig eth1  peterswinkels@petelp2:~$ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "myaccesspoint"  peterswinkels@petelp2:~$ sudo iwconfig eth1 key s:mykey  peterswinkels@petelp2:~$ sudo dhcpcd eth1  err, eth1: timed out  warn, eth1: using ipv4ll address 169.254.139.173  dhcpcd.sh: interface eth1 has been configured new ip=169.254.139.173  peterswinkels@petelp2:~$

dmesg:

code:
