I'm unable to connect to any network without using the terminal as root -- it seems that wpa-supplicant cannot scan or select a network on its own.

...so I must first select the network I want with wpa-supplicant, then press connect

then go to the root terminal and type 'iwlist scan'

then wpa-supplicant will connect to the network.

...does this seem like I've missed something in my setup of wpa-supplicant ???

thanks,

Where exactly you press? Do you have a .log or conf? In my case I don't have to press nothing (on what?)

In fact, can you post this :

Code:

Hi, which driver are you using ? The B43 or the new broadcom-sta ?

Also, can you post this :

Code:

# ifconfig -a
# dmesg | grep -i broadcom
# iwconfig
# iwlist scan

iwlist scan also produces linksys, which is my wireless, and I thought I created a network with that, but maybe I didn't...

...maybe I'm missing something...

...what would be the steps to creating a network here:

Code:

   proto=WPA2
   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
   pairwise=CCMP
   group=CCMP
   priority=5
}

network={

right, I already have a network set up in wpa_conf:
Quote:
papapenguin ~ # cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
update_config=1

network={
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=-9999999
disabled=1
}

network={
ssid="linksys_SES_43849"
key_mgmt=NONE
disabled=1
}

network={
ssid="KirkWiFi"
key_mgmt=NONE
disabled=1
}

network={
ssid="Forbes Creek FreeNet"
key_mgmt=NONE
disabled=1
}

network={
ssid="Open Satellite"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0="satelliteopen"
disabled=1
}

network={
ssid="GENTOO"
key_mgmt=NONE
disabled=1
}

network={
ssid="kcls.org Wireless"
key_mgmt=NONE
disabled=1
}

the problem is that upon boot, I get no "automatic" connections -- even though WPA Supplicant comes up. I must first select my saved network in WPA Supplicant GUI, then

click 'connect' on the WPA Supplicant GUI, then go into root mode in a terminal and type 'iwlist scan' then

I wait for the IP Address.

I simply cannot click 'connect' and have it connect to anything...

Pick the network you want to use, and change disabled=1 to disbled=0 (or remove), then retry.

Blessed be!
