wpa_supplicant.conf would only be used if you managed it yourself and not via Network-Manager. It is in the source under nm-device-802-11-wireless.c look for: const char * ap_scan = "AP_SCAN 1"; HOWEVER, looking over the code it looks like the code is different than I remember and uses ap_scan 2 when the AP is non-broadcast. You could try changing that to 1 and see if that helps but the easiest way to do this would be to create a wpa_supplicant.conf and call it from wpa_supplicant manually and see if you can associate. There are some examples here: http://www.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/dienste/internet-zugang/wlan/wpa_supplicant.conf If you are using wpa psk try this as a wpa_supplicant.conf: network={ ssid="yourssid" scan_ssid=1 # try both 1 and 2 here psk="your preshared key" } Then call it with: wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/path/to/wpa_supplicant.conf -ddd Replace wlan0 with your interface (-ddd triggers a lot of debugging). _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
