When letting wpa_supplicant go into the background with -B switch it never associates with the access point. However when keeping wpa_supplicant as a foreground process, it can associate with the AP just fine. I am using the following command line: wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dt [-B] The only difference being the -B switch. Unfortunately, when running with -B, the debugging output stops when the process goes into background. Since the daemonized process does not associate with an AP, using the init script does not work either. My wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network={ ssid="my ssid" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="my secret key" } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I changed the summary information. I'm sorry for that. I should have tested a little more before submitting the bug report. Anyways, wpa_supplicant does its job fine when I invoke it from the command line - also in daemon mode. I then do the network setup manually. However, using the init script does not work. It will not associate with the AP.
Eh, the configuration file belongs to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf as the ebuild told you.
Thank you for the hint. That indeed fixed the issue. I must have missed the notice from the ebuild during the last update.
