[SOLVED] problem with wpa_supplicant-0.7.3

[adramalech707]

okay so i have no idea why wpa_supplicant doesn't work but there is no default .conf file nor does it want to run....what should i do to get it working re-emerge it???

running ~amd64 build with custom kernel 2.6.35-r7 with atheros 5XXX driver installed....

[DONAHUE]

is this a new install that has never had a working wpa_supplicant or was it working yesterday until you emerged wpa_supplicant 0.7.3?
nothing inherently wrong with wpa_supplicant-0.7.3. I just emerged it and it kicked right in when I restarted wlan0.
pls post ifconfig output, iwconfig output, iwlist scan output, /etc/conf.d/net, /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

[adramalech707]

okay what i forgot to do is add some use flags....wps, qt4, fasteap, eap-sim, madwifi....

so i hope this will fix the issue...also some how i guess i have emerged networkmanager i probably won't use it...wpa_supplicant i think is very powerful....and when i hardline i have dhcpcd installed...

one thing though i saw that both dbus....dhcpcd where on rc-update but didn't show a runlevel??? and i cannot delete them...so i don't have dhcpcd starting at boot only need wifi starting...

okay still isn't working correctly:

this is what wpa_supplicant.conf looks like right now:

Code: Select all

you are running openrc and baselayout2 but your /etc/conf.d/net appears to be using the old syntax
From: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml

Code: Select all

Network

Due to baselayout and OpenRC being broken into two different packages, your net.eth0 initscript may disappear during the upgrade process. To replace this initscript please perform the following:

Code Listing 2.9: Adding back missing net.eth0 script
# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s net.lo net.eth0
If you are missing any other network initscripts, follow the instructions above to re-add them. Simply replace eth0 with the name of your network device.

Also, /etc/conf.d/net no longer uses bash-style arrays for configuration. Please review /usr/share/doc/openrc-<version>/net.example for configuration instructions. Conversion should be relatively straight-forward, for example a static IP assignment would change as follows:

Code Listing 2.10: Old /etc/conf.d/net style
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.37 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.100" )
Code Listing 2.11: New /etc/conf.d/net style
config_eth0="192.168.1.37 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.100" 

Please correct the syntax and run

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart

If it fails pls post ifconfig output, iwconfig output, iwlist scan output, /etc/conf.d/net.
rephrasing that :

All the trouble may be from a missing = after network

the header is presented in the updated format; man wpa_supplicant refers

do you have wpa-gui available?

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1

network={
mode=0
   ssid="adramalech"
psk="XXXXXXXX"
   proto=RSN
   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
   pairwise=CCMP TKIP
   priority=5
}

Edited to replace WPA_PSK with WPA-PSK

i am stuck with chrooting into it with a livecd....i have like the base system installed but am having issues with getting xfce4-meta installed and get xorg-server configured because i use udev and not hal....


**edit**

how do i get rid of dhcp trying to run at boot???


it keeps saying

Code: Select all

no configuration specified; defaulting to DHCP
dhcp....
      running dhclient...

is there a way to stop eth0 from starting do i just delete the net.eth0???

also i tried that and well it still gives me an error on every line from 6-13 then it ill say:

Code: Select all

Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf'.

* ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start

[DONAHUE]

are you able to boot to a cli terminal (without cd or chroot)?

Have verified that wpa_supplicant-0.7.3 can work just fine in the chroot.

as you are not specifying ip addresses in /etc/conf.d/net you want dhcp-client to run as each interface is created.

[DONAHUE]

/etc/conf.d/net

[adramalech707]

hey i was wondering where i have /etc/conf.d/net

should i add -Dmadwifi??? for my atheros wifi card?

also i did run this not in chroot but booted into the actual partition and it seems that it does want to work..

i just rebuilt kernel with making sure to have it like yours...i will see how it will go....pretty much just disabled the rf switch thing...

[DONAHUE]

great minds

see edit for /etc/conf.d/net just above you

think with ath5k that Dwext is preferred

[adramalech707]

okay well i have redone /etc/init.d/net to what u think i should have....so far i am rebooting and going to try again...

**EDIT**

still have the error doesn't work....is there something i need to do??? i don't know if like wpa_supplicant installed correctly at first i had networkmanager on and i didn't want that after i found out cannot use that and wpa_supplicant at sametime....but i purged it...

tyvm for the help so far is there anything else u think i can do??? besides emerge -e world????

[DONAHUE]

did your emerge xfce go right?

[DONAHUE]

Have you done the dbus hal udev consolekit policykit emerge, add to USE flags, add to run levels? Then

Code: Select all

emerge -uND world
emerge wpa_supplicant

the error is still same as posted earlier?
go ahead and try -Dmadwifi in /etc/conf.d/net

[adramalech707]

the only thing i don't have running is hal everything else has been added to use flags and i did emerge -avuDN world and no updates were needed....

right now i am emerge -ea xorg-server because i am having issues with xorg not working....so it pulled in like 60% of my installed packages to rebuild...hopefully that might fix some issues...

[DONAHUE]

still favor running hald myself
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml while waiting might be worth a careful review, most guides are written for baselayout1.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x ... -guide.xml
http://dev.gentoo.org/~scarabeus/xorg-s ... -guide.xml

[adramalech707]

okay so i have pretty much done almost everything just don't want to use hal....i really wish that gentoo would come out with newer guides and linux come out with newer ways to deal with deprecation....like xorg-server not using hal after 1.8.2...hal is a huge part of linux...but people that start using it gain it as a crutch...then when it goes away what are we suppose to use....from now on...i am not using anything that has to be used for crutch no networkmanager gui...etc...everything running manually from scripts etc...i think is the best way to keep from all this crap happening...



**edit***

oh btw stupd rc will run dhcp on eth0 before it gets to wlan0 and wlan0 still gets full errors with wpa_supplicant runs...even after i have reinstalled it...ohh and wpa_supplicant doesn't use hal as useflags...nor udev....

i guess dhcp made custom runlevel when installed because i cannot find how it is fricken running at boot still...only thing that should be running is net.lo and net.wlan0 then i will start net.eth0 manually if i am ever hardlined...

also how do i add to resolv.conf??? everytime i hardline at school i have to change it....and every time i am at home i have to change it...

[DONAHUE]

oh btw stupd rc will run dhcp on eth0 before it gets to wlan0

Code: Select all

emerge ifplugd

if your install behaves like mine (unlikely based on results to date) eth0 will only load up if cable plugged in

..i really wish that gentoo would come out with newer guides and linux come out with newer ways to deal with deprecation....like xorg-server not using hal after 1.8.2..

bear in mind that you are using the testing branch-the xorg-server-1.8.0 shift to udev from hal is in the guide
udev-postmount responds to events whereas hal uses polling to determine need for action; both try to do pretty much the same things
In /etc/conf.d/net:

dns_servers_eth0="4.2.2.6"
dns_servers_wlan0="4.2.2.6"

would cause use of a good public nameserver

dhcp_eth0="nodns"
dhcp_wlan0="nodns"

would prevent overwriting /etc/resolv.conf with info from the dhcp server (router)

You are still getting???

yes i am still getting that...i am going to do what u said about the other parts....tyvm for the help u are a godsend...

make absolutely sure that /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf network line is precisely:

network{

or

network {

or

network=

So the recognizable global command is

WPA_PSK

is a typo in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ; should be

WPA-PSK

hyphen not underscore

[adramalech707]

ohh my gosh!!! i just saw that too i am like having a major senior moment!!! i am also seing this when bootup i tuink it has to do with /etc/hosts:

Code: Select all

Could not look up internet address for tux.  This will prevent Xfce from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding tux to the file /etc/hosts on your system.

**edit**

okay so i did that and then i added my schools setup which is wpa2 eap-peap but i dont have the ca cert:

Code: Select all

network={
ssid="SacLinkSecure"
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
eap=PEAP
identity="XXXXX"
password="XXXXXXXX"
}

but when i run sudo /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start it will say:

Code: Select all

*Bringing up interface wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...

[DONAHUE]

in xfce applications you may have wpa-gui if so start it
if not, in a terminal,

Code: Select all

wpa-gui

run scan
select your network
close scan window
manage networks
select your network, enabled, edit
enter your psk
save
current status
connect
