 |
|
I run /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start and open wpa_cli.
I run scan and after a while it says CTRL-EVENT-NETWORK-NOT-FOUND. While scanning I can see my Wi-Fi LED light up.
My network controller is an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN and I'm using the iwlwifi driver.
I should point out connecting to ethernet works fine, but this is a laptop.
Thanks in advance for the help.

What have you configured in /etc/conf.d/net for wlan0?
What is the output of "iw dev wlan0 scan"?
Is wifi blocked by rfkill? |

I didn't have iw but I installed it now, ran "iw dev wlan0 scan", and got this: http://pastebin.com/gwZLHDyv
My /etc/conf.d/net looks like this: http://pastebin.com/ATG0MTUU
dunno how to check rfkill |

@errror
Are you running wpa_cli as a root?

You will see the rfkill controls in subdirectories of /sys/class/rfkill/ (state needs to contain 1) or you can emerge rfkill for convenience as nictki suggested.
Your /etc/conf.d/net looks ok, maybe try the following:
| Code: | | # wpa_passphrase "yourssid" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
Then enter your WPA-PSK (will be shown on terminal) and restart net.wlan0
If that works, your connection between wpa_cli and wpa_supplicant is somehow broken, maybe a dbus issue. |

Yep, I've been running it as root.
