Bug 102361 – net-wireless/wpa_supplicant ebuild lacks dependency for dev-lib/opensc

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Andreas Arens 2005-08-13 06:06:33 UTC]

wpa_supplicant compiles fine, but fails with a segfault because of missing  
engine_opensc.so when used with ndiswrapper. 
Card used was an tiacx111 pci (TEW-423PI). Ndiswrapper worked fine, iwlist 
wlan0 found the ap.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a config that uses wpa-psk 
2. run wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
received error: 
Failed to innitialize eapol state machines 
Segmentation fault. 


emerging opensc fixed the problem, wlan connection works fine.

Please attach the output of `emerge --info`, `ldd /sbin/wpa_supplicant` and - if
possible - the stack trace leading up to the segmentation fault.

[Comment 2 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-08-13 06:36:19 UTC]

Do you have opensc_engine_path defined in your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file?

[Comment 3 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-08-13 06:36:43 UTC]

Meant to close as NEEDINFO.

[Comment 4 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-08-13 06:37:18 UTC]

Please reopen with requested information.

[Comment 8 Andreas Arens 2005-09-10 02:56:38 UTC]

Finally got back to the machine (which is at a remote site).

As you can see 'opensc_engine_path' is defined in the config file,
which might be superfluent, but that's the default config from the example.
Nevertheless it should not segfault.

True. Please report this upstream at http://hostap.epitest.fi/bugz/
