 |
|
OK, I know I'm missing something very simple here.
First, here's my /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf "
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 10"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
|
and my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1
eapol_version=1
network={
ssid="my ssid"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="my private key"
scan_ssid=1
priority=5
}
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=-9999999
}
|
Now when I boot my system, or manually issue the command /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start I get these expected messages:
* Starting wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ...
* Backgrounding ...
However, there is no dhcpcd running against wlan0, and I do not have an IP address. My network card is associated with my access point. Manually running dhcpcd at this point times out.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"my ssid"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:1B:11:F0:EA:20
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power:24 dBm
RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B
Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Security mode:restricted
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
But, I can stop net.wlan0 (i.e. /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop), run wpa_supplicant manually (wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ) and then run dhcpcd wlan0 from another terminal and get the proper IP configuration and everything is cool and I'm to communicate via the wireless card.
What I'm I missing here?
Thanks

I'm by far no expert. I'm wrestling with wpa_supplicant myself, but I believe /etc/conf.d/net should read:
| Code: |
config_wlan0=( "dhcpcd" )

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help
