Okay so im trying to use wpa_supplcant with my atheros 9285 (ath9k) and i dont understand whats going on. If i do "wpa_supplicant -iwlp8s0 -Dnl80211 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" it will connect saying connection to: 1c:af:f7:d5:f5:09 completed. But then it just hangs there. I do ^C to get out and it says disconnected reason=3 locally_generated=1.

I know its connecting successfully because i set wlp8s0 to 192.168.0.101 and i can ping it on another laptop on the wifi. Why is it hanging like this if its connecting successfully?

My wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="dlink"
key_MGMT=NONE
}

Any ideas? And also how do i set wpa_supplicant to run at startup?

RE: starting the service at boot, do you have
Code:
#wpa_supplicant
modules_iwlp8s0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_iwlp8s0="-Dnl80211"


in /etc/conf.d/net?

This is in the wrong forum btw.

Im getting an error at boot but i cant view it with dmesg and i cant read it because it dissappears too fast. But after bootingi can do /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start and dhcpcd wlp8s0 and my connection is good. Net.wlp8s0 is added to rc. And my /etc/conf.d/net contains config_wlp8s0="dhcp"

edit /etc/rc.conf so that it says rc_logger="YES"

reboot, then:[/quote]

cat /var/log/rc.log

to view your error.

Again, this thread is in the wrong forum. ask a moderator to move it to "networking and security" or "installing gentoo" and you may get responses from someone more intuitive and knowledgeable than myself.

Its saying:

Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Wlp8s0: unsupported driver nl82011

Found out i misspelled nl82011 instead of nl80211
