[Solved]Problems in switching from wicd to wpa_supplicant

Hello;
First I start with this (a part of rc.log)which was with me from the first day* Bringing up interface wlp5s0

Code: Select all

 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlp5s0 ...
 *   /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf not found
 [ !! ]
 * ERROR: net.wlp5s0 failed to start
 * Starting D-BUS system messagebus ...
 [ ok ]
 * Starting wicd daemon ...
 [ ok ]
 * ERROR: cannot start netmount as net.wlp5s0 would not start
 * Enabling numlock on ttys ...
 [ ok ]
 * Checking your configfile (/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf) ...
 [ ok ]
 * Starting syslog-ng ...
 [ ok ]
 * Starting vixie-cron ...
 [ ok ]
 * Starting local
 [ ok ]
Well considering i was on wicd and all that; I had not had quality in my connection with wicd; so i started to emigrate from wicd <--> to WPA_SUPPLICANT.
i changed my /etc/conf.d/net to this:

Code: Select all

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /usr/share/doc/openrc*/net.example* and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
config_wlp5s0="dhcp"
#Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools
modules_wlp5s0="wpa_supplicant"
#It is important that we tell wpa_supplicant which driver we use.
#he is not good at guesing.
wpa_supplicant_wlp5s0="-Dnl80211"
and also /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code: Select all

update_config=1

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
        ssid="@:-D"
        psk="m20sh@gmaildotcom"
        scan_ssid=1
        proto=WPA2
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        group=CCMP TKIP
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        priority=5



Problem:


wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlp5s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf says

Code: Select all

wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlp5s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
