With my self compiled kernel 3.13.0-rc8 I see after booting the wlan0 when entering
the ifconfig -a command ( or iwconfig command )

But when I call wpa_supplicant with -Dwext option I get the uninformative
error/status message "No drivers enabled".
I work with a USB Ralink WiFi adapter and normally under other Linux
distribution I have no problem ( using the same kernel )

lsmod shows me the usual list of modules I am accustomed to see under
other Linux distributions.

wkt ... this is probably due to the ralink driver being 'nl80211' and not 'wext' (though thats a guess as you haven't provided details of the card). So, try with '-Dnl80211' ... or, enable CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT (the wext compatability layer for nl80211) in the kernel.

I assume the card uses rt2800usb.

Thanks for your effort.

The internal WLAN card in my netbook cannot be used at this moment by me. So I use a Ralink USB WiFi adapter.
So this rt2800usb appears in my lsmod list correctly. nl80211 doesnt appear in lsmod list if I remember correctly.
But cfg80211 does ! I also had tried -Dcfg80211 but this gave the same error message as Dwext.

In the kernel .config file I have done e.g. these settings
CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV=y
CONFIG_CFG80211=m
CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS=y
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y

CONFIG_RT2800USB=m
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT33XX=y
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT35XX=y
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX=y
CONFIG_RT2800USB_UNKNOWN=y
CONFIG_RT2800_LIB=m

wkt ... and is the rt2870.bin firmware installed?

"cfg80211" is the new "netlink" (nl80211) but the driver for wpa_supplicant is called 'nl80211' ... you must use either '-Dwext' or '-Dnl80211'. However, as you have CFG80211_WEXT enabled this can not be the cause of your issues. It has to be missing firmware, or some other issue.

The rt2870.bin is in /lib/firmware ( as usaual ).

It is puzzling that with other Linux systems running ( e.g. Picuntu, Debian, Fedora, Raspian... )
I have no problem using wpa_supplicant with WiFi over this Ralink USB stick.

wpa_supplicant version is 2.1 - I think to remember that I simply emerge-d it.

wkt ... that may be the case, but you're not really providing any information which might help give some idea of what the issue is, and due to your xorg-server issue I suspect the stage3 you used is the root cause. I'd asked previously for the output of 'emerge --info' as this would give some clue as to why 'x86-interix' was not met as 'DEPEND', so please do so. Also, the output of 'emerge -pv wpa_supplicant' would help, plus any network configuration in /etc/conf.d/net, how your using wpa_supplicant, etc, etc ... basically all information required to help troubleshoot the issue. Saying "it works with Picuntu, Debian, Fedora, Raspian" is not information that is useful to the issue at hand, and unless you provide useful information I, or we, can't help.

Khay is right.
Without SOME information we are just guessing as to how and what.

Try to paste your dmesg and emerge --info

Especially if you are on a alternative architecture.

wtk ... ok, well, this would certainly cause wpa_supplicant to state "No drivers enabled" ... for CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211, and CONFIG_DRIVER_WEXT to be enabled the 'kernel_linux' useflag has to be set. The above is building without support for even the most basic of features. The question is why, because I don't see anything under profiles/arch/arm, or in the 'emerge --info', that suggests 'kernel_linux' wouldn't be enabled as a useflag (after all, its a linux kernel). Can you provide the profile used? ... the output of:

Code:
# eselect profile list

... you could enable the useflag in /etc/portage/package.use but the fact its not enabled suggests a deeper problem (as does the presence of 'x86-interix' as a DEPEND) so before I suggest how you might fix it its probably best to know how deep the rabbit hole goes (as it may be best to start from a new stage3).

Well, the bash arrays are now unsupported, and you don't need do do anything with iwconfig when using wpa_supplicant, so I'd use something like the following (obviously wlan0 isn't going to work until wpa_supplicant is fixed):

Code:
config_eth0="192.168.178.5/24"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.178.1"
dns_servers_eth0="192.168.178.1 8.8.8.8 4.2.2.1"
modules_wlan0="!plug !iwconfig wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211 -qq" # the '-qq' is "quiet", you can add '-dd' or '-ddd' for "debug".
config_wlan0="dhcp"

OK - I started with the rootfs stage3-armv7a_hardfp-20140112.tar.bz2 now.

I think wpa_supplicant works now almost.

This is what I get if I run /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start

* Bringing up interface wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ... ...
WARNING net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive.

So the connection is not established. But with wpa_cli I get a nice list from
the scan_return command ( with my router ESSID ).

If I start wpa_supplicant with -d option I get

wkt ... you'll have to provide your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (remove the psk obviously). Could you also provide the output of the following:

Code:
# awk '{RS="Cell"}/wktWLAN/' <(iwlist wlan0 scan)

... or using net-wireless/iw

Code:
# awk '{RS="Cell"}/wktWLAN/' <(iw dev wlan0 scan)

wkt ... that is the reason ... the 'group' and 'pairwise' set in wpa_supplicant.conf are incorrect. Please try the following:

Code:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1
eapol_version=2
fast_reauth=1
filter_ssids=1

network={
    ssid="wktWLAN"
    bssid=00:1F:3F:47:10:44
    scan_freq=2462
    scan_ssid=0
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    proto=RSN
    auth_alg=OPEN
    pairwise=CCMP
    group=TKIP
    psk=1234567890
}

.... note that I'm not quoting psk ... this is just incase your psk is at the max character string (63 chars).

HTH & best ... khay

@kayyam

You may relax now - problem solved.
WiFi is now working.

I only had to add the " again around psk because
wpa_supplicant uttered a parsing error otherwise.

I kept your 1st line : but the syntax looks unbelievably
ugly... =DIR=... How the heck can that be deciphered...(?)
Or is it a typo ???

Thanks for great help - I would not have found the solution.
Remains the puzzle why my old conf file works with about
5-7 ( binary ) distros.

wkt ... good.

hmmmm ... well, it shouldn't need quoting, perhaps your psk is ASCII? It shouldn't have any non-alphanumeric chars in it. Anyhow, you can convert the ascii to psk like so ...

Code:
# wpa_passphrase wktWLAN abcdefghijklm12345
network={
        ssid="wktWLAN"
        #psk="abcdefghijklm12345"
        psk=a7401677d90c0468add090eda4c02e744414a9050ac6cc60f1c5a0491e8d8df4
}

... there is no reason not to quote it, as long as the length doesn't exceed 63 chars.

No, its correct. It provides both the 'DIR' and the 'GROUP', its just a more recent syntax, see 'man wpa_supplicant.conf'.

You're welcome. Doing a scan of the AP (as in the awk oneliner above) is useful for getting all data from the AP and figuring out what it supports/expects, so, having that data it was easy to figure out why the above error occurred. I can't explain why that wpa_supplicant.conf would work elsewhere, it shouldn't ...

I forgot the following remark :

when I had config_wlan0="dhcp" in the file /etc/conf.d/net
I got no connection (!)
In ifconfig -a list entry I saw only a inet6 line - no inet line.

If I changed to static IP adresses it suddenly worked.

Do I have to start perhaps dhcpcd service/daemon ?
Is it installed already in stage3 ?
My studies/experiments with rc-update just start...

wkt ... not sure exactly why this is happening but you can try two ... or three ... things ...

/etc/conf.d/net
Code:
modules_wlan0="!plug !iwconfig wpa_supplicant dhcpcd"
enable_ipv6_wlan0="false"

... and incase this is an issue of dhcpcd starting before net.wlan0 (due to it "providing net") ...

/etc/rc.conf
Code:
rc_dhcpcd_provide="!net"

wkt wrote:

No, it is started as a dependency of net.wlan0, its also managed via /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.sh

wkt wrote:

dhcpcd? No, it needs to be emerged, if you don't have some client then it will use udhcpd from busybox. This is probably whats happening.

wkt wrote:

Well, I'll explain runlevels ...

Code:
# mkdir /etc/runlevels/online
# rc-update -s add default online
# rc-update add net.wlan0 online
# rc-update add sshd online
# rc-update ntp-client online
# rc-update add iptables online
# rc online

... thats a 'stacked' runlevel ... 'online' is stacked ('-s') on top of 'default'. Of course in this example 'default' doesn't have anything in its runlevel except those things required when the machine is booted (ie, its without network). Anyhow, you can create as many of these as you so wish, and with seperate config files if you need seperate connection methods, configuration, etc ...

Code:
# print -rl /etc/conf.d/net*
/etc/conf.d/net.eth0
/etc/conf.d/net.wlan0.adhoc
/etc/conf.d/net.wlan0.hostap
/etc/conf.d/net.wlan0.mesh
/etc/conf.d/net.wlan0.online
/etc/conf.d/net.wlan0.pLp
/etc/conf.d/net.wlan0.ppp

... then from the bootprompt (grub, or what have you) you can add 'softlevel=online', or 'softlevel=foo', etc, and init will boot you to that runlevel (so menu entries can be made for various runlevels).

So, as Micheal Cain says "not a lot of people know that" :)

best ... khay
