also have a forum topic, but no responses there yet. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-600008.html I'm guessing that you need to add dhcpcd_eth1="-I ''" to your /etc/conf.d/net (In reply to comment #2) > I'm guessing that you need to add dhcpcd_eth1="-I ''" to your /etc/conf.d/net > As I said nothings changed about the config and it was working. I can manually run "dhcpcd eth1" and get an IP address with 0 delay. In any case, I tried adding that, but it made no difference. Do other versions of wpa_supplicant work?

Will have to wait till later today when I can hook the laptop into a wired network. > With it statrted, what is the output of > /etc/init.d/net.eth1 status * status: inactive N AH HAAAA!!! WORKAROUND: downgrade to baselayout 2.0.0_rc4-r1 It seems to be specific to baselayout-2.0.0_rc5. I just downgraded to rc4-r1 and wireless works again. I then upgraded again to rc5 and it stopped working, now I am back to rc4-r1 and it's working again. I restarted the system after each change, and when I didn't get an IP on the wireless, I tried to restart the service a few times to be sure it wasn't just a bad initialization. I'll look at the code changes between the two versions later today and see if there is an obvious issue between the two. Wish the 2.0.0 versions were tagged in SVN, would make it much easier, oh well. We'll probably start tagging once we actually get out of p.mask. The code in question is probably /lib/rc/net/wpa_supplicant.sh Although, it works just fine for me. I'll investigate later when I find a working AP I can connect too.

I still wonder if it's something that glibc-2.6 triggers because I am 98% certain I rebooted a couple times between installing rc5 and when I upgraded glibc. *shrug* I use sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.9-r2 and net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.5.8 with dhclient and have the same problem. Starting dhclient manually works, but it doesn't start automatically. Does rc6 fix this issue? (In reply to comment #10) > Does rc6 fix this issue? Will give it a try and report back. (I've had >rc4 masked) (In reply to comment #10) > Does rc6 fix this issue? it does appear to work.. I am going to try it for a bit and be sure it works consistently, but it seems to be working. yeah :-) alright.. so a couple days later and it's "mostly" working. I generally get an IP address (yeah), but sometime it sticks at that point (not continuing on with all service dependencies. I think this is something else, but it seems when several services are waiting for a network service to start, when it finally does, it's not always performing the starts for all the waiting services. Generally for me it's dnsmasq. Simply manually restarting that service seems to do the trick.

I have a similar issue with my system. But, I'm not informed enough as to whether or not I should start a new bug regarding it. When I start up my system, I usually have to launch wpa_gui or wpa_cli to see what the status of my built-in ipw3945 wireless device and whether it is even associated with a WAP, whether it's my Linksys WRT54GX4 (firmware v1.00.20) via WPA2, or my campus' wireless via OPEN (I know, what a joke). So, what I'll almost always find, is that I can choose the Network to connect to, and it will only get as far as saying Associating, or Associated, or Completed (rarely). But, only when I run a "dhcpcd eth2" do I actually retrieve an IP address, the link then becomes locked down and usable for internet/network traffic. So, I have to do that almost every time. This didn't used to be the case in the past. I don't know when it changed, and it's been a while that I've put up with this problem. Any ideas or suggestions as to how to help resolve this issue?

I guess that's what I get for trying to include attachments, thinking they were only going to be linked to my single post. Using bugs.gentoo.org with attachments for the first time, and all I managed to do was litter this bug. =( My bad. If someone can clean that up. I have all the data saved. It wouldn't let me delete any of it. =( If you're still having issues with baselayout-2 you should look at OpenRC, Roy Marples (formerly of baselayout-2) left gentoo but continued developing the package with a new name. http://roy.marples.name/openrc Yeah, openrc from git is working very fine here with wpa_supplicant-0.5.8 and dhclient (dhcp-3.1.0). Fixed in OpenRC. |
