I have been searching, and haven't succeeded yet. Tried some things from a few different threads on here to no avail.
I can get the card to scan, but I can't get wpa_supplicant to connect. It appears that it may be a dhcp issue, because in dmesg I get:
| Code: | [ 442.498015] eth1: no IPv6 routers present
|
I am still a n00b though and am probably doing something wrong.
Here are some of the things that may be of use. I hope anyway.
| Code: | $ lsmod

just to check the obvious
if you cat /proc/net/wireless, is eth1 correct? (I've only seen that with ipw2200)
assuming it is, try running this on the command-line as root, and post the results:
| Code: |
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
|

Thanks for asking, but yes it is correct.
| Code: |
Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed | WE
face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 22
eth1: 0000 5. -256. -90. 0 0 0 0 0 0 |
When I run that command via sudo:
| Code: | ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it
Delete '/var/run/wpa_supplicant/eth1' manually if it is not used anymore
Failed to initialize control interface '/var/run/wpa_supplicant'.
You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again. |
I should also mention, that I added it to startup. So that could have something to do with that? |

correct. Either stop it, or nuke it from startup and reboot, then let us have a gander at the command line output
if it associates/authenticates successfully, the problem is further down the line (likely related to this? https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334341)

This is going to be an absolute n00b question, but how can I nuke it and/or remove from startup? lol /retard |

no worries, I'm probably giving a n00b answer instead of a correct one 
killall -9 wpa_supplicant
then remove the eth1 file from /var/run/wpa_supplicant
(there's probably a correct way to do it, but that seems quickest/easiest)

| Okay I re-ran the command and it is just sitting at the next line. I presume it is waiting for it to close, but since this is just the command line utility, it doesn't have anything I can close... |
