Yesterday I connected to my WPA/WPA2 Wifi network with the following commands

Code:

# wpa_supplicant -Dnl8221,wext -iwlp1s0 -c/etc/wpa.conf -B
# ifconfig wlp1s0



However when I rebooted my computer and tried the same commands I cannot ping to gentoo.org

Here's the results of iwconfig

Code:

# iwconfig
wlp1s0    IEEE 802.11  ESSID:"myWifi"
               Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.427 GHz Access Point: 00:25:3C:ED:95:A1

               Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:8 Missed beacon:0

lo            no wireless extensions


Code:

# ifconfig

             Kernel driver in use: ath9k
             Kernel modules: ath9k


Code:
# ping -c 3 www.gentoo.org

ping: www.gentoo.org: Temporary failure in name resolution



Code:

# cat /etc/conf.d/net

iwconfig_wlp1s0="mode managed"
modules="wpa_supplicant"
key_myWifi="[1] s:password key [1] enc open"
preferred_Aps=";myWifi'"


I'm really at a loss. I thought I fixed it yesterday the wpa_supplicant, but now I can't use the internet.

The internet was working yesterday and I installed XFCE4. After the XFCE install, I rebooted and tried to connect again today and failed to ping.

Is your DNS solution working?

Sorry I'm such a noob :cry: Can you elaborate for me? My linux experience seems to not justify Gentoo, although I'm trying to learn it.

In simple setups there is /etc/resolv.conf with nameservers. There are DHCP clients and other network management tools that may manage it for you.

I read this to mean that you have no IPv4 address. If so, large portions of the Internet will be unavailable to you. Your wireless AP may have granted you an association, but you seem not to have an address. If you know what address it should give you, you could temporarily add one by hand. However, you ought to fix the system to set an address automatically. Usually, this is done through DHCP.

Thanks. This was clear enough for me. Thanks to all for the patience.

I got it to work now. First run wpa_supplicant, then dhcpd, then ifconfig
