wpa_supplicant config file?

[jeffk]

What is the proper configuration file location and syntax for a network with the following parameters?

Code: Select all

wpa_cli status
bssid=00:(...)
ssid=ACME
id=0
pairwise_cipher=TKIP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=192.168.1.101

I use the GUI to connect, because at bootup wpa_supplicant seems to ignore the configuration file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

I tried to use wpa_cli to save this working configuration:

Code: Select all

# wpa_cli save_config
Selected interface 'wlan0'
FAIL

The apparently ignored or incorrect wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
  ssid="ACME"
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  proto=RSN
  pairwise=CCMP TKIP
  group=CCMP TKIP
  psk="PASSWORD"
}

Thanks for any suggestions.
