 |
|
I did read the wireless section in the gentoo handbook and the wireless HOWTO on the WIKI site and followed things pretty much to the T. 
I have had this issue for 2 days now and have tried everything that comes to mind but to no avail.
During bootup AND manually trying to start my wireless interface, i get the following error:
#/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
*starting eth0
*starting wpa_supplicant on eth0
Failed to read configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
The following is my config:
/etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dipw" |
and
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
opensc_engine_path=/usr/lib/opensc/engine_opensc.so
pkcs11_engine_path=/usr/lib/opensc/engine_pkcs11.so
pkcs11_module_path=/usr/lib/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so
network={
ssid="XXX"
psk=<"ASCII string of my passphrase">
priority=5

I'm at a loss. Someone please help... 
Thanks,
Dino |

Oh man, how embarrasing! I guess I'm portraying the true colors of a noob!
I'm new to linux and making some dumb mistakes. Sorry about that...
Your suggestion did work and fixed the issue with not being able to read the wpa_supplicant file
but of course another failure has now risen to the surface:
#/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
*starting wpa_supplicant on eth0
Failed to initialize EAPOL state machines.
/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/wpa_supplicant: line 9: 10754 Segmentation fault LC_ALL=C /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant "$@
I'll do some investigation on this one and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not ready to give up on myself and Linux just yet!
Thanks for your help thus far,
Dino |

I also get this far. Using strace shows that the problem might be with the reference to the non-existant opensc libraries. Commenting this out gets me a bit further. Is opensc a prerequisite for wpa_supplicant? |
