Hope you can help, I am trying to set up my wireless using wpa_supplicant.
I have followed the guide on this site and from gentoo wiki but could not get them to work.

Once I put the details in wpa_supplicant it comes back with "Failed to enable network in wpa_supplicant configurations"

lspci if you need it is.

Hi, can you post this plz :

Code:

# equery list ipw
# rmmod ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200
# dmesg | tail
# ifconfig -a

I'm pretty sure that your eth1 need only this :

Code:

#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1_="-Dwext"
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )

Ok, just to be sure, can you post this :

Code:

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Also, can you post this :

Code:

# cd /etc/init.d
# ls -la

After that, we will try that :

Code:

# rmmod ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200
# /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
# dmesg | tail
# ifconfig -a

Hi, you need to run this plz :

Code:

# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -sn net.lo net.eth1

After that run this :

Code:

# rmmod ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200

On boot up wpa_supplicant cli is shown but not gui. Is that anything to do with the wpa_gui error "Failed to enable network in wpa_supplicant configuration"
Also when I scan through gui it doesn't find any networks and I know there is about 5 around here.

Hi, ok we will try something :

Code:

# rmmod ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200
# dmesg | tail
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# iwlist scan
# wpa_cli status

Do you see any network with that ?

VAIO ~ # wpa_cli status
Selected interface 'eth1'
wpa_state=SCANNING

I have posted it all as don't know what most of it means; but Cell 05 looks like the description of my network.
wpa_gui still with the same error.

Hi, are you using a hidden SSID, or your SSID is actually <hidden> ?

If it's "<hidden>", then /etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf cannot handle theses <, you need to have only 0 to 9 and A to Z characters.

As far as I can tell, your Wifi is working, and we only need to tweak your /etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant to connect to your network.

Can you try that :

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
#update_config=1

network={
ssid="Your_SSID"
psk="Your_Password"
proto=WPA
priority=5
}

After changing this file, try that :

Code:

# rmmod ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200
# /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
# iwconfig
# ifconfig -a

I will try this tonight when I get home.
My SSID is hidden and is 0 to 9 and A to Z; not the word <hidden>

In /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf does psk="Your_Password" have to be your password or the encrypted code.

What I mean by this is my password is a1b2c3d4e5f ;-)

Do it enter this

Code:

psk="a1b2c3d4e5f"

Code:

psk="3aef641f5f00189b868b46a7b05aea5a6bf4ce359a4cb168210d1568e776bd22"

Hi, you need to enter this :

Still nothing. If it is scanning and can see my network but can not connect what else could it be because I have wpa_supplicant.conf filled in correct. When I boot up eth1 loads first and then says background, then eth0 and the dhcp. Could that have anything to do with it.

Hi, change this file /etc/conf.d/rc

Code:

RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*"

Make sure that you have set this variable and after that, reboot your box.

Now, retry

Code:

# rmmod ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200
# /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
# iwconfig
# ifconfig -a

Still no joy. eth1 does not start on boot up now.
Could it be anything to do with dhcp

Code:

VAIO ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ...
eth0: dhcpcd 4.0.2 starting
eth0: broadcasting for a lease
eth0: offered 192.168.1.34 from 192.168.1.1
eth0: checking 192.168.1.34 is available on attached networks
eth0: acknowledged 192.168.1.34 from 192.168.1.1
eth0: leased 192.168.1.34 for 259200 seconds [ ok ]
* eth0 received address 192.168.1.34/24
VAIO ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart
* Stopping eth1
* Bringing down eth1
* Shutting down eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_cli on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_supplicant on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Starting eth1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ...
VAIO ~ #

Should eth1 not run dhcpcd and wait for an IP address?

Hi, can you repost this :

In fact, I don't understand that eth1 doesn't use dhcpcd.

Code:

VAIO ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/net
# 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 :]!).

#config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
#dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"

#config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
#dhcp_eth1="nodns nontp nonis"

# Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools
#modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )

# It's important that we tell wpa_supplicant which driver we should
# be using as it's not very good at guessing yet
#wpa_supplicant_eth1="ipw2200-firmware"

#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1_="-Dwext"
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )

The reason I ask about the dhcp is because of the difference when I start eth0 and eth1.

Code:

VAIO ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
* Stopping eth0
* Bringing down eth0
* Stopping dhcpcd on eth0 ... [ ok ]
* Shutting down eth0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting eth0
* Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming DHCP
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ...
eth0: dhcpcd 4.0.2 starting
eth0: broadcasting for a lease
eth0: offered 192.168.1.34 from 192.168.1.1
eth0: checking 192.168.1.34 is available on attached networks
eth0: acknowledged 192.168.1.34 from 192.168.1.1
eth0: leased 192.168.1.34 for 259200 seconds [ ok ]
* eth0 received address 192.168.1.34/24
VAIO ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart
* Stopping eth1
* Bringing down eth1
* Shutting down eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_cli on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_supplicant on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Starting eth1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ...
