 |
|
any idea why I am getting this error?
#/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
*starting eth0
*starting wpa_supplicant on eth0
*wpa_supplicant_eth0 does not define a driver
Failed to read configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
I read the followed the following:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup
I've verified that my /etc/conf.d/net file has:
| Code: | modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth="ipw2200" |
my /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant file has:
| Code: | INTERFACES="eth0"
ARGS="-w -dd"
ARGS_eth1="ipw2200" |
my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file has:
| Code: | network={
ssid="XXX"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
group=TKIP
psk=<ASCII string of my passphrase???>
|
Why would it keep coming back with wpa_supplicant_eth0 does not define a driver. This happens at boot and if I try to manually bring the interface up.
help please...

Awesome, thankyou Uberlord. That fixed the wpa_supplicant_eth0 does not define a driver, so my config now look likes this:
/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
|
but---I still get the following error message when I bootup or manually try and start the inteface:
#/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
*starting eth0
*starting wpa_supplicant on eth0
Failed to read configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
any ideas? Thanks for all of your help thus far...

Thank you once again UberLord.
My apologies for the oversight. I guess I'm portraying my true colors as a noob.
Your suggestion once again fixed my oversight.
Thanks again,
