 Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2023 11:33 pm Post subject: wpa_supplicant Difficulties With New Install |
 |
|
I have been working on a new Gentoo install [my first] on a laptop. I have been using the Gentoo live cd and the handbook for amd64. I was able to initiate the wireless networking with the following:
| Code: | /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="my networks ssid"
psk="my networks passphrase"
priority=5
}
|
I then used the command
| Code: | | # wpa_supplicant -iwlo1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
I was then able to access the internet and emerge packages.
After an initial reboot of the system, I have not been able connect to the wireless network. The wpa_supplicant.conf file is the same as above. If I run
| Code: | | # wpa_supplicant -iwlo1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -v |
it scans recurrently with
| Code: | wpa_parse_wpa_ie_rsn: invalid group cipher 0x8 (000fac02)
wlo1: skip RSN IE - parse failed
wlo1: skip WPA IE - GTK cipher mismatch
wlo1: No suitable network found |
I checked the wpa_supplicant version numbers on both the live cd and the emerged install and they are both v2.10.
I have also run
| Code: | # zgrep CONFIG_PACKET /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_PACKET=y
CONFIG_PACKET_DIAG=Y |
and
| Code: | # grep CONFIG_PACKET /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_PACKET=y
CONFIG_PACKET_DIAG=Y |
I compiled a Genkernel.
Does anyone have suggestions for the next steps I should take to troubleshoot this issue? |

Hi
Please Try enabling the "tkip" USE flag for wpa_supplicant.
