 Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2008 2:51 pm Post subject: [solved] Network Manager WPA loop |
 |
|
I recently followed the NetworkManager Howto on the gentoo Wiki. I am able to connect to my Wired Network and see all avialable wireless access points. However, when I try to connect to an access the WPA access key windows window loops over and over prompting for the network key; never actually connecting to the wireless network. I have looked at other posts to see if i could find a resolution to this issue and have yet to find anything that would resolve this. I have to imagine that everything is compatable due to the fact that on an ubuntu livecd i was sucessful in connecting to the same network.
One thing I have noticed is that in the output from Network manager says the following:
| Code: | Jul 20 19:24:25 VecchpT43p NetworkManager: <info> Error opening supplicant global control interface.
Jul 20 19:24:25 VecchpT43p NetworkManager: <WARN> real_act_stage2_config(): Activation (eth1/wireless): couldn't connect to the supplicant. |
This is very interesting as I have emerge wpa supplicant and also added my user to the plugdev group. What else could cause this issue?
I have attached the rest of the output from an attempt to connect to a wireless network.

| with some fiddling i found out that you should not include any of the wireless network stack as modules but rather built into the kernel. So now wiresless works |
