 Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 2:09 pm Post subject: wpa_supplicant ipw2200 ctrl cmd_string failed [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi all,
I've recently changed my wireless configuration, switching from wireless-tools (that worked great) to wpa_supplicant, 'cause I need to use WPA.
I followed all the guides provided by the gentoo staff and the wiki, but my wpa_supplicant won't work.
Every time I try to execute:
| Code: | | # wpa_supplicant -Dipw -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf |
I've got this error msg:
| Code: | ENGINE: ctrl cmd_string failed: LOAD (null) [error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library]
SSL: Failed to initialize TLS context.
Failed to initialize EAPOL state machines. |
My kernel is 2.6.14-r2 and I have the latest drivers and firmware for the ipw2200.
wpa_supplicant is 0.4.7 (because of the gui).
Any suggestions?
Tnx

Try to comment out the lines following "OpenSSL Engine support" in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. BTW, if ipw is the latest you've to use -Dwext instead of -Dipw

Ok, thank you, now almost everything is working.
Well, net.eth1 won't start during the bootstrap, but I can make it run with:
| Code: | | # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart |
Another question: is wpa_supplicant the best choiche? |

This happened to me too, at least until this morning. Now I've changed something but I don't know what. Look at this topic I just marked solved, but don't expect to find a solution. In fact I changed the net.conf a little, and I'm using the last baselayout (unstable). I'm not sure because in the meantime I used iwconfig at home and plugged eth0 at work.

AFAIK yes, look also at last Gentoo Weekly Newsletter

Oops, I meant this one.
But, did you solved?

Maybe I've solved.
I've edited my /etc/conf.d/net, reordering the lines in this way:
| Code: |
modules_eth1=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"
associate_timeout_eth1=5
config_MyESSID=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_MyESSID="-t 7"
fallback_MyESSID=( "default via 192.168.0.1" )
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.15/24" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.0.1" )
|
During the boot, I can't see the eth1 interface going up (eth0 is shown), but the connection works.
Instead, when I shutdown eth1 script is stopped.
Mah! |

Glad to know.

It's because eth1 is started by hotplug in the background as soon as it's detected. If you want to change this behaviour add hotplug_eth1="no" to /etc/conf.d/net.
