Hi All,
I've been struggling with getting wireless working recently - finally
working.
One of the significant problems is that the BLFS book recommends
compiling wpa_supplicant with *two* back-ends enabled: "wext" and
"wired". Unfortunately, that means the "-D" option on the commandline is
mandatory; if omitted then wpa_supplicant just silently does nothing
(without any warning or error messages).
And some other files, eg systemd's "wpa_supplicant.service" or dhcpcd's
wpa_supplicant hook-script, do not specify a -D option (presumably they
assume that only the wext back-end is compiled in).
I'm surprised nobody else has had problems with this. Maybe a warning in
the BLFS book would be a good idea?
Regards,
Simon
