 Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2014 8:34 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Problems with wifi authentication -NetworkManager |
 |
|
I have had a working wifi through NetworkManager (and KDE).
After an emerge -uDN world I can no longer connect to my access point.I have not made any re-configuration of the wifi set up.
The nm GUI shows that my access point is detected and I can enter the SSID and password. It attempts to authenticate but seem to deautenticate again for unknown reason.
/var/log/messages shows:
| Code: |

It seems "Jul 26 22:10:10 phils_x1 kernel: [ 425.251739] wlp3s0: deauthenticating from a4:b1:e9:7f:1b:0d by local choice (reason=3)" gives the best clue to what goes wrong. I have googled this phrase, but have not been able to isolate the problem.
Any clues welcome.

OK, I am one step closer to a solution:
If I do
#killall wpa_supplicant
and the restart NetworkManager:
#/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
Then Netwokmanager connects to the AP.
It must be that I have multiple instances of wpa_supplicant running that casues the problem-
But where, when and why does multiple instances of wpa_supplicant start?

phil ... can you post the output of the following:
| Code: | # egrep -v '(^#|^$)' /etc/rc.conf
# rc-status --all |tr -s ' '
# wpa_cli ping |

Thanks,
I give you the output of these command, first before I do killall wpa_supplicant and restart /etc/intid.d/NetworkManager.
And then the same after I have done killall wpa_supplicant and restart /etc/intid.d/NetworkManager

Phil ...
you're hotpluging all services so net.* are started ... along with NetworkManager. You can probably just comment rc_hotplug or disable net.* ... rc_hotplug="!net.*". I don't use NetworkManager but I imagine it doesn't need hotplugging as it probably 'provide[s] net'.

Thanks khayyam,
That seemed to do the trick. I commented out rc_hotplug="*" in /etc/rc.conf. And now NetworkManager connects my wifi correctly.
My knowledge is a bit limited here. Doesn't udev require rc_hotplug="*" in /etc/rc.conf ?
Also isn't usb dependent on rc_hotplug="*" ?
I am not sure if-, when and why I may have enabled rc_hotplug="*" in /etc/rc.conf or if installation of some packge has enabeld it....

Phil ... you're welcome & good.

No, rc_hotplug means that on udev detecting an interface (wlp3s0, or what have you) the respective service (net.wlp3s0) will be started. In your case this starts services that NetworkManager is already managing. As I said above I'm not using NetworkManager so I'm not sure if it requires hotplug at all ... but you probably don't want everything hotpluged.
| philip wrote: | | Also isn't usb dependent on rc_hotplug="*" ? |
You mean USB network cards? These would also be started similarly to the above, but you will be able to manage them without hotplugging.

You probably did as "[b]y default we do not allow hotplugging" and no package will enable it.
