 Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 11:48 pm Post subject: wpa_supplicant randomly stopped working! (SOLVED) |
 |
|
I turned on my computer a few days ago and ath0 wasn't doing it's job.
| Quote: | * Starting ath0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on ath0 ... [ ok ]
* timed out ... [ !! ] |
I shut off the encryption on my router and tried connecting without wpa_supplicant and it worked.
so i tried re-emerging madwifi-ng, wpa_supplicant, net-misc/dhcpcd, net-misc/udhcp, net-misc/dhcp and while emerging it gave me error messages:

/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/profile.bashrc: line 74: has: command not found.
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/profile.bashrc: line 70: has: command not found.
...

what is "has" and why don't I have it anymore?? The emerge carried out successfully...but still. It all seems strange.
I did "emerge -uD world" recently... these are the packages it emerged the day before: | Quote: | Sun Apr 16 12:03:54 2006 >>> app-shells/bash-3.1_p16
Sun Apr 16 12:04:46 2006 >>> sys-libs/readline-5.1_p4
Sun Apr 16 12:06:44 2006 >>> net-misc/openssh-4.3_p2-r1 |
I'm all out of ideas... please help.

Does anyone have any idea at all?
I'd really like to get the internet working again...
I tried with NET_DEBUG set and the net.lo script seems not to be getting a signal from wpa_supplicant:

# Then it keeps repeating this part until it times out...

I think it's the ASSOCIATED part. What does ASSOCIATED mean and why isn't it COMPLETED? |

It kinda sounds like the same problem I had with my pcmcia wifi card and an Apple Airport. It turned out that they just weren't compatible. I changed the wifi adapter and ever since it was working (thou I can't really recommend the Apple Airport... It just isn't good enough...) |

SOLVED
luckely I stumbled upon this bug: [URL="https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130104"]#130104[/URL]
apparently wpa_supplicant isn't working nicely with bash 3.1
The patch didn't work for me so I re-emerged bash 3.0.
this is a list of packages I have installed in case anyone else has this problem.
