Good day all,

I have been battling this problem for the last 24 hours with configuring my wifi. First When I recompiled my kernel my udev/rules.d/70-* was deleted and I had to go to my Live CD to load my firmware and cp the Live CD udev/rules.d/ for my network ethernet to work "again". I have wpa_supplicant installed here is my info:

Code:

Quasar checkmate # ifconfig

I'll give this a try this is for to cfg80211. This is needed to be compile as a module? If so then I didn't have that. I will repost back.

If that's your full wpa_supplicant, of course you won't get a connection. You need a network block containing a ssid and psk (no other settings necessary, wpa_supplicant can figure them out on it's own). The simplest way to create it is using wpa_passphrase

chessmaster ... by using 'ap_scan=0' your explicitly requesting wpa_supplicant not to scan for AP's, hence the above, and:

Code:

wpa_state=ASSOCIATING

ap_scan=0 is only used for wired networks/802.1X (see: man wpa_supplicant.conf) as obviously a scan is not required. The default value for ap_scan is "1" (if undefined in wpa_supplicant.conf) and there is no need to set unless really required.

Also, your wireless interface, 'wlp4s0', needs to be reflected in /etc/conf.d/net, so:

Code:

modules_wlp4s0="!plug wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlp4s0="-Dnl80211 -qq"
wpa_timeout_wlp4s0="15"
config_wlp4s0="dhcp"
enable_ipv6_wlp4s0="false"

This obviously wasn't effecting your manually calling wpa_supplicant from the commandline above, but it needs to be corrected for /etc/init.d/net.wlp4s0 to work as expected. Note I removed the wpa_cli_wlan0="-G3600" which I have no idea what your intention was as wpa_cli doesn't have a '-G' switch and wpa_cli need not be configured in /etc/conf.d/net.

One more point, with ctrl_interface_group=0 set wpa_cli/wpa_gui will not be accessable to your user, should you want/need that. You may wish to assign ctl_interface to the group 'wheel':

Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel

best ... khay

Thanks this fixed my problem

Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel

Note: For use with netcfg>=2.6.1-1, this should be /run/wpa_supplicant (note: not /var/run/wpa_supplicant). This will, however, break the default for wpa_cli (use the -p option to override). If this is not changed, one gets errors like "Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: no such file or directory".

I was recieving the "Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant-wpa_ctrl_open no such file or directory and I had to use -Dwext for my driver.

chessmaster ... you're welcome, but now I'm confused as the next post suggests its not fixed.

Note: For use with netcfg>=2.6.1-1, this should be /run/wpa_supplicant (note: not /var/run/wpa_supplicant). This will, however, break the default for wpa_cli (use the -p option to override). If this is not changed, one gets errors like "Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: no such file or directory".

I was recieving the "Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant-wpa_ctrl_open no such file or directory and I had to use -Dwext for my driver.

The above "Note" should make no difference, on gentoo /var/run is a symlink to /run. As for the error, I don't understand how changing wpa_supplicant driver would make any difference WRT the ctrl_interface. The only reason I can think of is if you were trying to run wpa_supplicant as your user, and not as root.

I generally don't include MAC80211_MESH as there have been reported issues with it and standard wireless networking. Unless you plan on using MESH networking I'd suggest disabling it. Otherwise, everything seems to be in order.

Code:

# awk '{RS="Cell"}/dasilvam/' <(iwlist wlp4s0 scan)

That is the name of your AP's ESSID right? I get the impression I've seen that ESSID before ... and the commands look distinctly like those I would have suggested, so I'm thinking you may have copied this verbatum from some other thread. Anyhow, the "Interface doesn't support scanning Network is down" error generally means .... ummm ... the interface is down :) ... please try with the following:

Code:

# ip link set dev wlp4s0 up
# awk '{RS="Cell"}/<ESSID_of_AP>/' <(iw dev wlp4s0 scan)

or if using the depreciated net-tools/wireless-tools:

Code:

# ifconfig wlp4s0 up
# awk '{RS="Cell"}/<ESSID_of_AP>/' <(iwlist wlp4s0 scan)

It may of course be that the driver/firmware is at issue, but its more likely the interface is simply down.

Note that it might help if you use the same ESSID naming convention when providing details, as I'm not sure if your ESSID is 'ssid', as in your wpa_supplicant.conf, or 'dasilvam', it doesn't matter which but small details can make all the difference.

chessmaster wrote:

Code:

OK, why are you using 'ap_scan=2'? As I said above 'ap_san=1' is the default, and unless your AP has a number of (virtual) ESSID's or your card is known not to work without it just use the default. Also, as you seem to be cutting & pasting from elsewhere, and just to be sure, the 'psk=hex' is just a notation correct .... the psk is infact a hex string?

Code:

# wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlp4s0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Trying to associate with SSID 'ssid'
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable

From this I get the impression that your 'sid' is actually set to 'ssid', which of course will only work if the AP's ESSID is infact 'ssid', so some confusion here, as the ESSID is either 'ssid' or 'dasilvam' ... or perhaps something else entirely. Anyhow, the error means that something is currently using the interface, ie, that wpa_supplicant, or dhcpcd, or what-have-you is running. If you use wpa_supplicant from the commandline (ie, for testing purposes) then you must make sure nothing is currently active on wlp4s0. If dhcpcd is set to run in the default runlevel remove it, and if /etc/init.d/net.wlp4s0 is running then stop it prior to testing.

Its difficult to see exactly what the issue is, or whether there are just small misconfigurations that are holding you back. So, I'd suggest you focus on getting wpa_supplicant to work via /etc/init.d/net.wlp4s0 and not via the commandline, it might be easier to see what is infact happening.

best ... khay

chessmaster ... again, your welcome ...

A couple of things:

What card, kernel, and firmware version is involved here? When the modules load is there anything in dmesg? To me the above looks like a driver issue.

Also, iwlwifi is NL80211, not WEXT, I'm not sure this has any baring on the matter, but really you should be using '-Dnl80211' as the wpa_supplicant driver.

Can you emerge net-wireless/rfkill and see if the card is hard/soft blocked (you may also need to enable CONFIG_RFKILL in the kernel ... a module should be fine).

Code:

# rfkill list 0

I know there are some issues with iwlwifi specificly related to 'N' though these are more stability issues than 'resource busy' ... but anyhow, N can be disabled like so.

/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Code:

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

This probably has nothing to do with it, but thought it worth mentioning anyhow.

Also, please, please edit your quotes ...

Thats about all I can think of currently ... best ... khay

EDIT: An afterthought: if you booted with net.previously_known_as_wlan0 in the runlevel, then stopped it because the network connection wasn't establsihed (for whatever reason), it may be the card is soft blocked subsequently (the same happens here with ath5k). Just to be sure, please check the status and unblock if need be:

Code:

# rfkill unblock all

I have WPA2-PSK AES on my router maybe I will try changing it to both TKIP and AES settings to see if this works

chessmaster ... there is such a thing as *too much* information, if you just try to provide the necessary information and edited, or omited, your quotes, it would make it a lot easier for me to parse the signal from the noise.

Ok, so its not a driver issue at all, its authentication.

Firstly, check the psk .... secondly try with just the basic requirements in wpa_supplicant.conf

Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1

network={
ssid="Linux Server"
psk=3024c58f6b756e78554d01790c637b51adb0f59d6aa57ea31a6772addf289ff8
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

If that fails, try adding 'eapol_version=2' (not within the 'network' block).

best ... khay

}

ifconfig keeps showing that my wlp4s0 is dropping which doesn't even stay when I active net.wlp4s0
