Hi,
Can't seem to get my wireless to work using WPA supplicant. I followed the docs on gentoo.org and the WIKI HOWTOs and scoured these forums now for two days but still no luck. I'm at a loss, please help. The error that I recieve is the following:
| Code: | homebase ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Starting eth0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth0 ...

Thanks,

after
| Code: | emerge --debug net-wireless/wpa_supplicant
|
when i code
| Code: | | wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dipw -dd |
all it does is hang at the following
| Code: | homebase~# wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dipw -dd
ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]:Operation not supported |
Am i not doing something correctly?

as per usual UberLord, you da man!
The debug output showed a mismatch in my SSID that I don't think I would of caught without actually the debug pointing it out.
I still can't get the wireless to work on bootup. The only way I can get it to work is as follows:
Once fully booted:
1- kill the wpa_supplicant pid
2- /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
3- press the wireless radio kill switch on my laptop
4- /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start (result = wireless radio kill switch is on must be turned off)
5- press the wireless radio kill switch again on my laptop
6- /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
and BOOM! I get an ip address from my dhcp server and all is well.
Any ideas where I need to look to get this working upon bootup??
Thanks for your help thus far UberLord,
Dino |
