 |
|
Note that I am not using the Gentoo LiveCD for this installation, but a SystemRescueCD 64-bit.
I plan on installing a small Gentoo partition to start a CLFS installation for a purely learning experience (I just want to use it to install the source and diagnose the system if it doesn't boot). However, I happened upon a roadblock where using wpa_supplicant wouldn't budge on me.
My router uses AES WPA2 encryption and works fine with the same passphrase I'm using here.
In short, I ran a:
| Code: | % iwlist scan
...
% wpa_passphrase "CleverShark" "Z2kfyfEArY" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
% wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf |
It then tells me that my passphrase is incorrect (reason 3), thus "4-way handshake failed". Since I'm currently using Windows 7 to type this up, I will dump the entirety of the verbose messages if you need it later. I have already tried swapping out a lot of the global variables for the config file, including ap_scan/ctrl_interface, but to no avail; I have tried killing the process, etc, etc.
wpa_supplicant.conf is still basically the same output as wpa_passphrase "CleverShark" "Z2fyfEArY".[/code]

if you are trying to get sysresccd to use wireless: boot to the xfce4 GUI and use network manager icon in the lower right of desktop
if you have installed gentoo, try editing wpa_supplicant to:
| Quote: | ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="CleverShark"
psk="Z2kfyfEArY"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
} |
/etc/conf.d/net to
| Quote: | modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=15
iwconfig_wlan0_mode="Managed"
something like
#config_wlan0="192.168.1.209 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
#routes_wlan0="default gw 192.168.1.1"
or
#config_wlan0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 10" |
Edit network manager not wicd on sysresccd

Doesn't seem to work.
I'll copy a log of what is happening in verbose.
Here's my wpa.conf currently:
| Code: | network={
ssid="CleverShark"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
#psk="Z2kfyfEArY"
psk=abd3d9ccc0776a5de04c3317317525a6c151143f060512abca9416b7d86fa968
}

On SystemRescueCD there seems to be no /var/run/wpa_supplicant, idk why though
