Hi, all,
I have been using wireless successfully for about a month, until I
upgraded madwifi-ng last night. Since then wireless has not
worked. I have a netgear wireless router which supplies the
wireless signal, and the configuration of this router has not
changed. And wireless works fine from the same box when I
boot Windows. So, the problem seems to be related to the
madwifi-ng upgrade.
No configuration files were changed - at least etc-update didn't
report any.
In /var/log/messages,, I find the following:
rc-scripts: WEP key is not set for "NETGEAR" - not connecting
Well... of course it isn't - my router uses WPA encryption,
and always has. My /etc/conf.d/net and
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf files are straight from
the gentoo handbook:
/etc/conf.d/net:
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
modules=( "dhcpcd" )
config_ath0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_ath0="-t 10 -s 192.168.1.101"
dhcp_ath0="release nodns nontp nonis"
nis_domain_ath-=" mydomain.org"
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="NETGEAR"
psk="xxx"
priority=5
}
So, why does the rc-script suddenly think I'm using WEP encryption
?
Thanks for any and all ideas.
