 |

Hello, finally my PC come back to SAV and I remade my complete installation of gentoo and I encounter a problem when I want to connect in wifi with wpa_cli:
| Code: | wpa_cli
wpa_cli v2.6

Interactive mode
Could not connect to wpa_supplicant: (nil) - re-trying

Fulgurance ...
for wpa_cli to function there has to be a running wpa_supplicant, and the user has to be able to access the wpa_supplicant 'ctrl_interface', for this you need the following in wpa_supplicant.conf:
| /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: | | ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel |
This will allow users in the 'wheel' group to access ctrl_interface.
Though I can't see from the above who is running wpa_cli I am assuming the user either isn't in the group specified, or GROUP isn't defined, if this isn't the case then it may be that wpa_supplicant isn't configured correctly (ie, the '-i<interface>, or '-D<driver>') so you should provide details of that confguration.

Fulgurance ... in which case you'll have to do as I suggested, and provide the configuration (ie, /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant or whatever parameters your passing to wpa_supplicant, and various other information relating to your wireless device/driver)
| Code: | # lspci -nnkv | awk -v RS= '/(Ether|Network|802.11)/{print $0 "\n"}'
# egrep '(WEXT|(MAC|CFG|NL)80211)' /usr/src/linux/.config
# modinfo <your_wireless_driver>
# dmesg | grep -i firmware |
You can also run wpa_supplicant in 'debug' mode, and provide (via pastebin) the log:
| Code: | # wpa_supplicant -B -i<wireless_interface> -Dnl80211 -dd -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
# su - <username>
$ wpa_cli -i<interface_name> status
$ wgetpaste /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log |

Fulgurance ... there is your problem, I'm not sure what the error codes mean but it looks as though you're either missing firmware or the driver is builtin (=y) and no CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE is used. If the later then either add the firmware to the kernel or build as a module (=m).

| Based on the source of that driver, it looks like those are standard errno codes, albeit following the kernel's quirky pattern of negation. If so, then -2 is ENOENT (No such file or directory) and -11 is EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable). |

| I already had this problem under archlinux, they are missing drivers for the QCA6174 (Qualcom Atheros), but normally the wifi worked anyway! |
