 |
|
THE PROBLEM I HAVE:
I managed to scan and add my network using wpa_cli but I'm still not connected.when I enter wpa_cli it loops the following messages:
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-STARTED
CTRL-EVENT_SCANT-RESULTS
WPS-AP-AVAILABLE
CTRL-EVENT-NETWORK-NOT-FOUND
When I ping www.gentoo.org" it says:
The scan of the networks around me (using this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant) shows my network ( that I successfully added ) and the others. That means that the kernel is configured correctly, but I'm still unable to connect.
MY CONFIGURATION:
ip link:
lo: ( if important I will add)
eth0: ( if important I will add)
bond0: ( if important I will add)
wlan0: >NO-CARRIER, BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 2c:1f:4e:23:d6:21 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
network={ssid:"??:??:??:??:??:??" psk="ILoveGentoo"}
lspci -k:
Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: ath9k
Kernel modules: ath9k
nano /etc/conf.d/net:
Thank you for your time :p
Edit: If you need any additional information, I'll give it to you as soon as possible! |

Maybe gentoo wiki would have been an idea - but anyway... | susanne wrote: | | That means that the kernel is configured correctly |
You're probably correct. | susanne wrote: | nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: | Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
network={ssid:"??:??:??:??:??:??" psk="ILoveGentoo"} |

Well, what kind of network do you have? Is it in any way secured? Again I would recommend reading the wiki and maybe checking out the template in /usr/share/doc/ (exact location in wiki) but your config does look a bit too basic to me. | susanne wrote: | nano /etc/conf.d/net: | Code: | | modules="wpa_supplicant" |

Following the handbook and above mentioned wiki page I end up with something along the lines of | Code: | dns_domain_lo="homenetwork"
config_eth0="dhcp"
# Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools
modules="wpa_supplicant"
modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211 -d -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log"
config_wlan0="dhcp" |
I hope that helps. If not let me no what you tried and I'll look again. |

| ssid should be the name of the network, not the MAC address. |

An easy way to create wpa_supplicant.conf files for simple WPA-PSK networks is by using wpa_passphrase tool (included in wpa_supplicant package). Just do | Code: | | $ wpa_passphrase "ssid" "password" > "path/to/config" |
For example, using: | Code: | | $ wpa_passphrase "test network" this_is_just_a_test > test.conf |
I get the following test.conf file
| Code: |
network={
ssid="test network"
#psk="this_is_just_a_test"
psk=04513af11a72f0f63c0649dd209bbd09fad4369de2cb4ae33fbcdc4d96b41ce0
}
|
Note, as said above, that SSID is not the MAC address. And PSK is not the plain password.
Afterwards, just | Code: | | wpa_supplicant -D nl80211 -i <ifname> -c <conffile> -B |
to authenticate. Followed by dhcpcd or dhclient to get network address. |

Hi, I'm installing today's x86 version of gentoo, and I have the same problem as the one in this thread:
The automatic net-config did not work, so I tried with manual.
I can see using wpa_cli the message: <3>CTRL-EVENT-NETWORK-NOT-FOUND
but I do not have the WPS-AP-AVAILABLE message as Sussane has.
The scan works okay, in fact I can see the flags of the wifi I want to connect to in wpa_lic with the command scan_results: [WPA-PSK-CCMP+TKIP][WPA2-?][ESS]
I have in /etc/config.d/net:
| Code: | | modules="wpa_supplicant" |
In /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=0
network={
ssid="myssid"
#psk="my password"
psk=......
# I have added these flags too, but without them I had the same results
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
}
|
I did generate the initial config with wpa_password "myssid" > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
I start wpa_supplicant using this commandline:
| Code: | | wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlp1s0 |
And it answers : Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
I do not know how to debug this issue, could you help me?
Thank you in advance. |
