[Moderator note: this post, and only this post, was originally attached to the 5.5 year solved thread [SOLVED] WPA_GUI does not find wireless card with no title. As that thread is solved, long dead, and is not clearly relevant to this problem, I moved this post to a new thread and invented a temporary title for it.
OP: please adjust the title as you see fit. -Hu]
Hi,
i have the problem width the wifi connection.
The version of the kernel used is:
9.4.76-gentoo-r1
while the card used is:
RTL88211AE
for which I loaded all the modules in the kernel.
I tried to configure the wpa_supplicant.conf file but it did not lead to any results.
Place the content:
| Code: |
# The below line not be changed otherwise wpa_supplicant refuses to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1
# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
# ctrl_interface_group=0
# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1
# Simple case: WPA-PSK, PSK as an ASCII passphrase, allow all valid ciphers
network=
{
ssid="***"
psk="***"
# The higher the priority the sooner we are matched
priority=5
}
|
There is no wpa_supplicant in var / run!
The content of the / usr / src / linux file is this:
| Code: | config_enp3s0f1="dhcp"
routes_enp3s0f1="defaultw via 192.168.1.1"
modules_wlp2s0="wpa_supplicant"
config_wlp2s0="dhcp" |
The ethernet connection works well and uses dhcpcd added to open-rc.
Given the result of the following command:
| Code: | | wpa_supplicant -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
| Code: | Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
wlp2s0: SME: Trying to authenticate with d4:6e:0e:91:db:65 (SSID='THUNDER_NET' freq=5240 MHz)
wlp2s0: Trying to associate with d4:6e:0e:91:db:65 (SSID='THUNDER_NET' freq=5240 MHz)
wlp2s0: Associated with d4:6e:0e:91:db:65

Stay stuck like this ...

Currently I have added both dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant to open-rc.
Given that the device responds to the commands ifconfig wlp2s0 up and down I can exclude kernel problems.
Why does wpa_gui not find my network card?
What do you advise me to do?
Thank you so much,
Rino.

sprino,
Does /etc/init.d/net.wlp2s0 exist?
It should be a symlink to net.lo.
Do not add wpa_supplicant to the default runlevel.
The | Code: | | modules_wlp2s0="wpa_supplicant" |
entry in the net file tells openrc to start it.

Hello,
in the /etc/init.d/ not present the net.wlp2s0 and i don't have create symbolic link.
I have solved the problem.
The cable network has been configured with dhcpd some indicate in this installation guide:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/System/it
This is the /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | config_enp3s0f1="dhcp"
routes_enp3s0f1="default via 192.168.1.1" |
Load in the openrc:
| Code: |
root #cd /etc/init.d
root #ln -s net.lo net.eth0
root #rc-update add net.eth0 default
|
For the wireless network i have download, compiled and loaded inthe kernel this package:
| Code: | | https://codeload.github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/zip/master |
and i have crate this /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file:
| Code: | # The below line not be changed otherwise wpa_supplicant refuses to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1
# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
# ctrl_interface_group=0
# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1
# Simple case: WPA-PSK, PSK as an ASCII passphrase, allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="Net_Name"
psk="password"
# The higher the priority the sooner we are matched
priority=5
} |
and i have added wpa_supplicant in the openrc:
| Quote: | | rc-update add wpa_supplicant default |
the network works well for now, I did not understand if this is the correct way but I have installed this system a few days ago,
[/code]maybe in the future I will do better, maybe thanks to your advice.
Thank you so much,
Rino.

If I remove and stop wpa_supplicant from openrc and launch wpa_supplicant ....... the pc does not connect to wifi.
The network works well for now, I did not understand if this is the correct way but I have installed this system a few days ago,
[/code]maybe in the future I will do better, maybe thanks to your advice.
