Hello, I just installed gentoo, I can not configure the wifi, I installed wpa_supplicant, WPA-tool and DHCP. In/etc/conf.d/net:
Code:
modules_wlp2s0="wpa_supplicant"
config_wlp2s0="dhcp"


I first tried to set up by hand, then I heard with wpa_cli, this is the final configuration:
Code:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="-Vodafone"
        psk="my_password_wifi"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        pairwise=CCMP
        auth_alg=OPEN
        eap=MD5
}

I put the daemon startup, when I try to reboot I get this error:
Code:
gentoo@GentOscar ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/net.wlp2s0 restart
Password:
 * Bringing up interface wlp2s0
 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlp2s0 ...
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it
Delete '/var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlp2s0' manually if it is not used anymore
Failed to initialize control interface 'DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel'.
You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.

Code:
rc-update show
do dhcpcd or wpa_supplicant or wicd or NetworkManager appear in a run level?

first of all thank you for responding, here you go:
Code:
               binfmt | boot
             bootmisc | boot
                devfs |                       sysinit
                dmesg |                       sysinit
                 fsck | boot
             hostname | boot
              hwclock | boot
              keymaps | boot
            killprocs |              shutdown
    kmod-static-nodes |                       sysinit
                local |      default
           localmount | boot
             loopback | boot
              modules | boot
             mount-ro |              shutdown
                 mtab | boot
           net.wlp2s0 |      default
             netmount |      default
               procfs | boot
                 root | boot
            savecache |              shutdown
                 swap | boot
            swapfiles | boot
               sysctl | boot
                sysfs |                       sysinit
         termencoding | boot
         tmpfiles.dev |                       sysinit
       tmpfiles.setup | boot
                 udev |                       sysinit
              urandom | boot
       wpa_supplicant |      default

if you can serve the output of iwconfig is that of arch (dualboot):
Code:
wlp2s0    IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"Vodafone-" 
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 00:24:89:7F:91:D8   
          Bit Rate=65 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=60/70  Signal level=-50 dBm 
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:16   Missed beacon:0

sit0      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

oscarandrea ...

you have both net.wlp2s0 and wpa_supplicant in the default runlevel ... hence the "you may have another wpa_supplicant process already running" error.

As you are using netifrc you can remove 'wpa_supplicant' as netifrc is configured to start it ...

Code:
# rc-update del wpa_supplicant default

... that should be all that is required to resolve the issue.

best ... khay

hello, thanks for your help, of course I had not paid attention to the error message, I am not English and I did not understand what you said :(
ok, I removed the daemon startup, now what do I do?
thanks of patience

in the installed gentoo system or in the chroot, run:
Code:
rc-update add net.wlp2s0 default
rc-update del wpa_supplicant
reboot


I do not understand
Code:
still I can not login the same
Do you have a separate login problem from the wireless problem?

try key_mgmt=WPA-PSK instead of key_mgmt=WPA-EAP in wpa_supplicant.conf or if you know based on access point scan or administrator information that WPA-PSK is correct specify the eap= that is appropriate
Code:
iwlist scan
does the desired access point appear?

Please provide some data in pastebins:
Code:
emerge wgetpaste
lspci -k | wgetpaste -t
dmesg | wgetpaste -t
zcat /proc/config.gz | wgetpaste -t


/etc/conf.d/net example:
Quote:
dns_servers="192.168.2.1 8.8.8.8"
modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
#wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"

wpa_timeout_wlan0=30
#iwconfig_wlan0_mode="Managed"
#config_wlan0="192.168.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255"
#routes_wlan0="default gw 192.168.2.1"
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 10"
config_wlan0="dhcp"

#
#config_eth0="ifconfig"
#config_eth0="192.168.2.203 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255"
#routes_eth0="default gw 192.168.2.1"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"
config_eth0="dhcp"
Try one then the other /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf example:
Quote:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1

network={
ssid="SSID"
psk="PASSKEY"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
}
