Hi!
At first, please don't top-post, e.g. write your answers below the
quotations. That makes it easier to follow threads.
Concerning your wpa_supplicant.conf: I would comment out any
unnecessary settings, for example proto, pairwise and group.
Wpa_supplicant can figure this out by itself. That lowers the risk of
doing any human errors.
Second, did you copy my general options which were not connected to a
specific network? I think the ap_scan-option is crucial but I'm not
sure. Just use them all as I do.
Concerning the way you can stop wpa_supplicant: If you just started it
manually from console, a simple "killall wpa_supplicant" should be
enough. If you started it by init-script (e.g. "/etc/init.d/net.eth1
start") or automatically at system-start, then you stop it
with "/etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop".
To start wpa_supplicant with much output, run:
wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
(or -dd if you don't see anything supsicious).
