 |
|
Hello,
Perhaps I've been at this too long, but running this in a terminal: | Code: | | wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -dd |
gets me a working wireless network. The following in /etc/conf.d/net and init.d/net.ath0 fails though: | Code: | # for wpa_supplicant
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
# Users of madwifi add this:
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -dd"
wpa_timeout_ath0=60 |
Where my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is: | Code: | grep -v ^# /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="xxxxxxxxxxx"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="xxxxxxxxxxx"
priority=2
} |
With the output: | Code: | Initializing interface 'ath0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'madwifi' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A'

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,

Not sure what good it would do, but try without "-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -dd" because the wpa_supplicant module provides those switches itself.
