 Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 8:30 pm Post subject: wpa_supplicant with -Dwired fails to start from net scripts |
 |
|
I am connecting to ethernet network that requires ieee 802.1x authentication. I am using wpa_supplicant to authenticate.
Manual startup:
| Code: | jachcemjest ~ # ifconfig eth0 up
jachcemjest ~ # wpa_supplicant -i eth0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B -D wired
jachcemjest ~ # dhcpcd eth0
|
works well and I get proper IP.
I'd like to authenticate for the network in the startup. My /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | modules=( "wpa_supplicant" "!iwconfig" "dhcpcd" )
wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dwired"
wpa_timeout_eth0=15
config_eth0=( "dhcpcd" )
|
After starting the network I get:
| Code: | jachcemjest ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting eth0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on eth0 ...
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory [ !! ]
|
Is something wrong with config? Or some other problem?
I'll appreciate any help. |

| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=0
fast_reauth=1
network={
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=TTLS
identity="libip2am"
anonymous_identity="whatever"
password="passwd"
ca_cert="/etc/wpa_supplicant/cacert.pem"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}
|
I'm pretty sure this is correct. When I run it manually it works fine. |

So.. the problem was totally lame (of course) 
The wpa_supplicant.conf file had \r\n end of lines.
The initscripts can't handle it and the wpa_cli got as parameter for control interface something wrong.... |

Sorry I didn't get back to you on this. I couldn't see anything wrong with the config though. Never even considered the old <CR><LF> issue. How did the carriage returns end up in there anyway?
