|
|
Something weird happened...when doing /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start today, it is suddenly looking for wpa_supplicant, and complains that it can't find the config file. The thing is, I don't use wpa_supplicant, and it's never been installed. I can't find anything in the config files that's changed...does anyone know how to force it to use wireless-tools instead?
Even putting modules="iwconfig" in conf.d/net still results in it trying to use wpa_supplicant when it is not even installed. Something is wrong here.
Here are the contents of my /etc/conf.d/net:
Code: | modules="iproute2 iwconfig"
config_eth0="null"
config_ath0="null"
config_eth1="dhcp"
config_br0="192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
modules_eth0="!ifplugd"
modules_ath0="!ifplugd"
bridge_br0="eth0 ath0"
dhcpcd_eth1="-R -Y -N"
essid_ath0="triforce"
mode_ath0="master"
channel_ath0="11"
key_triforce="FF55307C5B6F4169A029850EF2 enc open"
iwpriv_ath0="mode 0 authmode 1 bgscan 0 bintval 500" |

I have gone through and taken the ( ) out of the config files (to fix it for OpenRC), but I still cannot get it to use iwconfig instead of wpa_supplicant. I do not even have wpa_supplicant installed, and I shouldn't need it (I never did before). This has to be an issue with OpenRC...does anyone have any idea how to fix it? Oddly enough, I can still configure my wireless manually with iwconfig, but that is obviously not ideal. |

I fixed it! In /lib/modules/rc/net there was a file called wpa_supplicant.sh. I removed this (actually I moved it to my home directory *just in case* I ever need it), and now my interface starts normally. |
