Looking back in this thread it looks as though I am supposed to use /etc/conf.d/wireless however Uberlord's networking-in-progress handbook http://dev.gentoo.org/~uberlord/net-book/hb_part1_chap4.html only uses /etc/conf.d/net. |
The reasons are twofold - when baselayout first introduced wireless, the maintainer (and maybe still is - lol) about the ammount of wireless config variables, so we decided to have two seperate files.
However, as the documentation is now on-line - and you don't really need that many variables it makes more sense to just add to the conf.d/net file.
HTF did you get that form the documentation?
Here is a working one
/etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
modules=( "iwconfig" )
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
iwconfig_wlan0="power period 3"
dhcpcd_wlan0="-HDN"
|
/etc/conf.d/wireless - or simply add it to /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
preferred_aps=( "coachbuilder" "linksys" "ball" "dlink" "rccd" "any" )
mac_essid_000C853E2200="rccd"

Hi Uberlord,
I've looked at your online documentation and again, as explained e.g. in this post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2272056#2272056 I cannot get wpa_supplicant to connect to my AP when I ask for WPA-PSK. I tried several possibilities as detailed in your doc or in the wpa_supplicant.conf.example. Only WEP works. This ennoys me as I chose wpa_supplicant to be able to use WPA-PSK encryption. What could be the reason? Is there some specific module or kernel configuration I should look at for WPA-PSK encryption to work?
Thanks!

wpa_supplicant can be hard to debug - but it is possible. Add "-d" to the wpa_supplicant options to enter debug mode.
Then you'll get a whole load of stuff that's going on, but it should tell you what is is not doing correctly. |

Why is the interface able to startup fine when I run the script from console but not when the PC reboots and goes thru the startup scripts??? Its my understanding that it is using the same init.d script to bring the interface up, right? |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78495 |
But, I'm not using hotplug, which is what that bugzila page talks about. Nevertheless, I'm looking to see if the file that the patch is for exist anyway. |

Well I'll be damned. I patched the /etc/hotplug/net.agent file with the patch on that bugzilla page and upon rebooting the interface came up right. I don't understand it since I don't have hotplug in any runlevel but I'll take it. 
Thanx Uber. |

If you read the comments on the bug, hotplug just needs to be installed - if it's in a runlevel or not is irrelevant |

|
|
Hello there,
I finally managed to add the debug option to wpa_supplicant and do some tests (I could not do it before as I needed a continuously running connection).
If I choose a simple configuration like this one:
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="my_ssid"
psk="my ascii pass"
}
|
I get this :
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start
* Starting ath0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on ath0 ...
Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'

|
Just fyi here is the output of lsmod:

I've added wlan_tkip in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to make sure it is loaded at boot, but I'm not sure it has any effect...
Any idea?
Thanks,

| Try running wpa_supplicant manually - baselayout puts wpa_supplicant into Daemon mode which you can't really debug under. |

|
|
I'm running a Prism2 based card, so I have the choice of 3 diffrent drivers to use: hostap-driver, orinoco (the new version as a module, not the old in kernel) and linux-wlan-ng. I successfully tested all of them, but I'm not sure about their major differences. Is one of them supperior about the others?
Thanks for your opinion! |

orinoco (in portage) should be the most reliable
hostap-driver offers more features, but it's not as extensively used
linux-wlan-ng is the worst simply because it insists on using it's icky configuration and setup
But that's my opinion  |

| regarding wlan-ng that's exactly what messed it up for after all, as I wanted to use the new wireless implementation in baselayout.. Trieing it the last time I still had diffisulties with wireless scan using the orinoco driver (from portage), the wireless-script kept complaining that the driver does not support scanning.. I'm runnig the hostap-driver right now, seems to be stable.. |

So what's the current status of wpa_supplicant being able to connect to non-encrypted APs?
The wiki page says "The bonus in configuring your wireless setup using wpa_supplicant is that it supports all types of encryption currently used: WEP, WPA, and even non-encrypted." while the wireless networking documentation on gentoo.org says "wpa_suppliant is the best choice, but it does not support all cards/drivers and currently cannot connect to un-encypted Access Points."
Last time I tried connecting to a non-encrypted AP with wpa_supplicant, I couldn't. But then again, I might not have had my configs right. |

My script does not lie there - some itterations of the orionoco driver in portage don't support scanning, but they all support monitor (guess the maintainer is a war driver)

pretty much though! hostap scanning mode allows me to use the full capacibilitys of you script (thaks a lot by the way). At home I can use my private network and being in University the driver connects automaticly to thier network after setting it up in the prfered list..
Anyway I had some minor problems to get hostap to work and posted my (suboptimal) solutions in this post:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-330402-highlight-.html
If there is someone who likes to take a look on it I'll appreciate! |

The only way I could get wpa_supplicant to work was to issue it by commandline. For some reason, net.eth0 isn't available anymore, so I can't use rc-update add net.eth0 default to bring eth0 up at boottime...
| Code: | wpa_supplicant -Dipw -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
dhcpcd eth0 |
The only lines in my /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | modules=("wpa_supplicant")
config_eth0="dhcp"
wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dipw" |
... but it seems like the code is being ignored at boot. At least I know wpa_supplicant works in my system, right? Could you help me to get wpa_supplicant to work on boot? |

Create a smbolic link from net.lo to net.eth0
| Code: | cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.eth0 |
Then you can rc-update it and see it working! |

Man I'm such a newb. Thanks UberLord, it works!
What's really weird, though, was that when I did what you said and rebooted, it would bring eth0 up, start wpa_supplicant, connect to the router, run DHCP to get an IP from the router... and right after it got the IP, it would bring eth0 down. 
I thought maybe it was because I was downstairs and too far from the router. So I shut off the lappy, went upstairs close to where the router was, plugged in, turned the lappy on and watched to see if it would the same thing. This time no problem - it connected just fine (after a period of time trying to connect to the router.)
Maybe it was the shutdown, maybe it's because I'm closer to the router now, 'Im not sure. I'll try to replicate it again. Thank you for the help! |

hi
i have my wireless network is fine untill here: my config worked and works fine.
But since i'd like to change my kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.11-gentoo-r5 to -r6 (or to come back 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 ), it seems that my /etc/conf.d/wireless config doesn't seem to work.
i have :
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 -> net.lo |
in my /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | auto_interface="yes"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
modules=( "iwconfig" )
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 10"
dhcpcd_wlan0="-HD"
dhcpcd_wlan0="-N" |
in my /etc/conf.d/wireless
| Code: | essid_wlan0="toto"
mode_wlan0="Managed"
channel_wlan0="4"
iwconfig_wlan0="rate 11M"
key_toto="XXXXXX enc open"
mac_key_XXX="XXXXX" |
and | Code: | | sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_alpha2-r1 |
when i switch to a different kernel, after the boot i did and i got something différent from the config of my /etc/con.d/wireless.
i don't know what to do to at the boot, my network run my /etc/con.d/wireless...
so i'm still with gentoo-sources-2.6.11-gentoo-before that works fine but for the next gentoo-sources, what's should i do...? 
thanks in advance

i have tried to use the Rat2500 whith i have in windows full working... in the make process tels tha my linux sistem does not suport this driver...
the opensource ones.. rt2500-cvs-2.... they cmpile no erro's fund... but iwconfig. ra0 no device found iwconfig wlan0 no device found and so on....
I have loaded the module my self and some times it does finds and tells no wirelles extentions... but silt in that case the driver is not found by the utility..

Right. You're using an alpha version. Maybe try the latest 1.11.x of baselayout?
BTW, in Managed mode there is no point in specifying the channel.

I don't do driver support, but check that you have wireless support enabled in your kernel.
If that fails, or you already have it enabled, try starting a new thread. |
