 |
|
I'm trying to configure wpa_supplicant and I keep getting the following error message:
| Quote: | localhost portage # wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dipw -ieth1
ENGINE: ctrl cmd_string failed: LOAD (null) [error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library]
SSL: Failed to initialize TLS context.
Failed to initialize EAPOL state machines. |
I tried running it with -Dwext and the error message didn't change, so I don't think that is the problem.
Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf
| Quote: | update_config=1

ctrl_interface_group=wheel

Thanks for any help. I have tried reading the Gentoo wireless guide unsuccessfully.

Did you try to comment out the OpenSC lines?

Yeah, and it gave me another large error message. I'll go ahead and do it and then post the error.

I suppose that I did something other than comment that line out, because it seems to be working now (sort of, I haven't quite figured out how it works but I'm using KWLan to see if I can find an easy way to get onto WPA protected networks and it seems that with that line commented out, the program is talking with wpa_supplicant. Thus, I figure something is going right. I'll see if I can't get it working.

Here's what it gives me when I try to run wpa_supplicant, if that means anything.

Awesome, it worked. Why is it that I need to use wext instead of ipw?

The Wireless EXTension API was integerated into the driver to make it more compatible with other drivers and to make the combination of ipw driver, ieee802 driver and the kernel more or less a reference for similar drivers.
