Hi All,
I have to manually enter my essid1 (iwconfig eth1 essid "<my ssid>") in order to get wpa_supplicant working. It is for the ipw2200 wireless on sony vaio. Where should my essid be defined? I thought the ssid line in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf would take care of it. If not, how can I put the iwconfig command to run before the eth1 startup script?
Thanks for any help you can afford. |

can you post the wpa_supplicant file for us to check out.
I'm wondering if you don't have quotation marks around the name of the ssid:
ssid="gentoorocks"
for example.

I've got the quotes. As a short term fix I put the iwconfig eth1 essid "GPrivate" at the front of the /etc/conf.d/net.
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="GPrivate"
psk="<MYPASSPHRASE>"
priority=5
}

I think you'd better put it into /etc/conf.d/net. |
