dhcpcd-discuss

Hi Roy,

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 with a derivative of Raspian Jessie as the OS.
This uses dhcpcd-ui as the gui control for networking - thanks for all your
work on this - it makes networking easy to manage on such platforms.

Problem is that it doesn't seem to be working for my WiFi networking!

The problem appears to be somewhere between dhcpdc-ui and the underlying
networking daemons I think.

I'm looking for pointers on what to check to make sure it can talk to the
appropriate underlying components. I suspect that some daemon is not
running that should be.

I tried to access the archives for this mailing list, but the link appears
to be broken, so sorry if this is a FAQ.

I'm fairly confident the WiFi componentry is working OK as here's the
output from ifconfig, iwconfig and iwlist:

Any pointers you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
