Hello, i've gone this far with just reading and searching through the forums. I have came to a problem with figuring out what to edit in my modules. I've done the genkernel all and only modified some of my wifi/eth options in menuconf. Can someone give me a heads up to where i can find a link or dictionary for the listings in

Code:
find /lib/modules/3.8.13-gentoo/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' | less


thanks

Hi, welcome to Gentoo.

Just skip that. Udev automatically autoload the relevant modules. This step is a throw back to a more primitive time.

Hey guys another dilemma occurred when i rebooted gentoo after i pulled the flash drive out. I tried configuring my settings to recognize wireless. I have it to where i can boot and use my ethernet cable but i wanted to use my internal wireless adapter so i can roam around the house. this is the codes im getting.

Code:
*   Running dchpcd ...
dhcpcd[12934] version 5.6.4 starting
dhcpcd[12934] all: configured as a router, not a host
dhcpcd[12934] eth0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[12934] timed out
dhcpcd[12934] allowing 8 seconds for IPv4LL timeout
dhcpcd[12934] timed out
*ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start
*Bringing up interface wlan0
*   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
*   /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf not found
*ERROR cannot start netmount as net.eth0 would not start
*Starting syslog-ng


any clues to where i went wrong with wpa_supplicant?

I remember emerging wpa_supplicant and setting /etc/conf.d/net to recognize wpa_supplicant as default. But when i look for it in my /etc folder its no where to be found. do i just create another using mkdir?

I have a directory "/etc/wpa_supplicant" and in that directory are 2 files, "wpa_cli.sh" and "wpa_supplicant.conf". I don't specifically installing or configuring this any more, but from what I can read now, ("equery files wpa_supplicant") "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.sh" should exist. It also looks like I grabbed a sample configuration from "/usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-r5/wpa_supplicant.conf.bz2" and went from there, using "man 5 wpa_supplicant.conf".

Sorry I can't be more specific - I set this stuff up almost 3 years ago. At any rate, that directory SHOULD exist already.

Are you sure you successfully emerged wpa_supplicant?

What does "equery files wpa_supplicant" say

What some people here are checking is that portage actually finished installing wpa_supplicant. Unfortunately, source based installs are not always as smooth as they could be and new users sometimes don't notice or don't understand the error messages.

depontius is asking you to run the command equery files wpa_supplicant in your terminal. I think you would also have an easier time getting us information if you emerge wgetpaste which you use one of two ways. The first way is to use wgetpaste <file> which uploads the file to pastebin and the second way is to use <command> | wgetpaste which does the same with a non-interactive command. You cannot use this with a command requiring input. You would then post the url returned.

I would bet that wpa_supplicant didn't build. It will not hurt to try emerge -pv wpa_supplicant and see if is marked [ebuild N ] for new or [ebuild R] for reinstall. Its a different way to skin the same cat.

EDIT: to add url comment

Hi everyone, i've been out of town and was not able to bring my laptop to continue this project. Though i figured some of my problem with the wpa_supplicant.conf issue. I changed some USE commands specifically these 2 "-java -cups" re-emerged and wpa_supplicant installed perfectly. Now the only prob is i still dont have the wpa_supplicant.conf though i have the wpa_cli.sh. I also re-ran the equery files wpa_supplicant command and i have this now.

Code:
(chroot) Gentoo-11 / # equery files wpa_supplicant

I also read the man 5 wpa_supplicant.conf and understand how to write out what i need. Just still missing the wpa_supplicant.conf. Oh and I tried to just make a mkdir wpa_supplicant.conf file but lol thats not gonna work.

Code:
nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

if it does not exist and you need it you must create it. exiting nano with ctrl x after editing will create and save the edited file if correct choices are made

Ty for the quick response. Just to make sure this is the command I write to make the wpa_supplicant

Code:
touch /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code:
nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
will open an empty file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf which you can edit and save
Code:
touch /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
will create an empty file which you can then open with a text editor, edit, and save
