Description Raymond Lewis Rebbeck 2006-02-14 18:35:09 UTC
Attempting to use wpa_supplicant to connect to my wireless ap with the latest baselayout results in baselayout starting wpa_supplicant and then getting 'stuck', unable to proceed.

Looking at wpa_cli in another console shows that wpa_supplicant is successfully connecting and authenticating. Manually setting an ip address or running dhcpcd results in everything working perfectly fine with no problems.

baselayout seems to be unable to determine that wpa_supplicant has successfully connected. The same result is obtained with and without using an association timeout, in the former case the init sript displays the error '* Failed to configure eth1 in the background'. However wpa_supplicant is still running after this and manually setting/getting an ip address works fine and I have full network access.

eth1 is the wireless interface using ipw2200 1.0.8-r1. baselayout-1.12.0_pre15-r1 is used. wpa_supplicant-0.4.7 and 0.5.1 have been tried with the same result.

Comment 1 Raymond Lewis Rebbeck 2006-02-16 12:35:21 UTC
I just tried this again with baselayout-1.12.0_pre16 and the same thing occurs. The init script starts wpa_supplicant and just gets stuck and does not proceed despite wpa_supplicant authenticating with no problems.

loki ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
 * Starting eth1
 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ...                                                                                                       [ ok ]
 *   Starting wpa_cli on eth1 ...                                                                                                              [ ok ]
 *     Failed to configure eth1 in the background                                                                                              [ !! ]
loki ~ #

While wpa_cli is displaying this:

<2>Trying to associate with 00:30:f1:d2:9e:eb (SSID='bandits' freq=0 MHz)
<2>Associated with 00:30:f1:d2:9e:eb
<2>WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:30:f1:d2:9e:eb [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
<2>CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:30:f1:d2:9e:eb completed (auth)
status
bssid=00:30:f1:d2:9e:eb
ssid=bandits
pairwise_cipher=TKIP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED

After this it backgrounds itself and manually setting up the interface with ifconfig or dhcpcd allows you to get network access.

That should be 
routes_eth1=( "default gw 192.168.2.1" )
