wpa_supplicant does not connect to wi-fi

znavko · January 4, 2018

Hello! I timed Funtoo current + Xorg + xdm + Slim boot. It is 64 seconds, much more that I had after first installation pure64 + Xorg XFCE. The NetworkManager is the main problem

When I deleted NetworkManager and dhcpcd from rc-update. My Slim appeared after 38 seconds. So I think to use wpa_supplicant, but I cannot connect with it.

I added dhcpcd to rc-update and rebooted. I tried to use line that worked on Gentoo. Have no sense why it is not working.

Please, is there way to use wpa_supplicant + wpa_passphrase + dhcpcd to connect to wifi via one bash line ?

palica · January 4, 2018

why don't you create a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ? and start wpa_supplicant as a service?

wpa_passphrase [ssid] [passphrase] >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
rc-update add wpa_supplicant #(default) can be ommited because default level is default

reboot :) or openrc to reload rc settings and services

znavko · January 4, 2018

I've created /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf , deleted networkmanager from rc-update, added wpa_supplicant to rc-update made `rc-update -u` and rebooted.

after reboot it should connect without any actions from me? but not.

Network could not connect showing "waiting" icon in tray, but is not connecting. cause dhcpcd was run. do not know why, but always needs to reboot after dhcpcd was run.

please, how to connect with wpa_supplicant?

znavko · January 4, 2018

this try was unsuccessful too

after creating wpa_supplicant.conf, adding wpa_supplicant to rc-update instead networkmanager and reboot. I saw during boot messages by rfkill. do not know how to show them cause `dmesg |grep rfkill` shows nothing.


# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
	ssid="internet"
	#psk="password"
	psk=hashmyhashlyhash
}

# cat /root/wpa-c.sh
wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext
dhclient wlan0

# ./wpa-c.sh
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument

# ping -c 5 funtoo.org

may be need to unblock wifi with rfkill during boot?

znavko · January 4, 2018

not work again

# cat wpa-c2.sh
wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -D nl80211 && dhcpcd wlan0

and this trouble continues: when I delete and add NetworkManager to rc-update, slim does not appears after reboot. I need to delete NetworkManager, dhcpcd from rc-update, and add it again, run 'rc-update -u` and then slim appears after reboot. or other times needs to delete and add xdm to rc-update and reboot. I cannot know where to see this error log. this is my dmesg. may be wireless mouse is the reason??

how about you add dbus to your default runlevel?

I can respond only that dbus was always in rc-update and I did not touch it never.

NetworkManager

also my ~/.xinitrc does not start it, cause my user is not root. Think it will be temporary solution but while I not found all those problems.... how to start NetworkManager after LXDE was run?

palica · January 5, 2018

ok, znavko what do you actually want to do? Do you want to use wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd? Then lets work on this solution and not jump from wpa to NM to wicd .... It makes your posts a mess.

Restore your system to state before your modifications. And add paste /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf without the passphrase and replace it with xxxx.

Remove networkmanager and add wpa_supplicant and dhcpd to default.

Report back and tell me what the problem seems to be. Wait for my reply and do not do any modifications on your own. Do not unnecessary edit posts that you posted in the past.

znavko · January 5, 2018

Thank you for your attention to this. I definitely want to handle network with wpa_supplicant.

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
	ssid="internet"
	#psk="password"
	psk=hashmyhashlyhas
}

# rc-update delete NetworkManager
 * service NetworkManager removed from runlevel default
# rc-update add wpa_supplicant
 * service wpa_supplicant added to runlevel default
# rc-update -u
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                       [ ok ]
# reboot

After reboot have no Internet. And trying to connect with one of my bash scripts:

Please, is there way to see what is not working?

I do not turn settings back, use another notebook to post here. Hope we'll catch it.

dhudson · January 5, 2018

maybe try this:

wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -D nl80211 -i wlan0

replace -Dwext for

-D nl80211 -dd -f /var/log/wpa.log

will give you better idea of the problem

palica · January 5, 2018

why don't you try to add this to your /etc/local.d/rfkill.start script

#!/bin/bash
rfkill unblock 0
rfkill unblock 2

make it executable and reboot

let me know

dhudson · January 6, 2018

ok my last post does not work here sorry, but I did get it connected with this command as root:

wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd -f /var/log/wpa.log

# wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="yesnotworking"
        scan_ssid=1 # for hidden ssid
        psk="supersecretpass"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

notice the lack of -B which makes it run in background - better to debug in foreground docs say.

@palica rfkill list gives every time different numbers of wlan: sometimes 0 and 2, sometimes 0 and 1. I have'nt yet written autounblock script.

@dhudson I run wpa-d.sh in one terminal, while it was working I open log in other.

After reboot this script unblocked wireless device successfully. Although the numbers rest 0 and 2 it detect wlan's numbers before unblock.

wlan0:    skip - SSID mismatch
wlan0: No suitable network found

looks like wpa_supplicant does not find the ssid you put in your config

wlan0: 0: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ssid='internet '

maybe you look close at router I see a space at end of ssid

znavko · January 6, 2018

yes, it is. on other notebook in the "Edit Connections" on network-manager applet there is a space character in the end of ssid: "internet "

I had no space in wpa_supplicant.conf. I added space to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf in line ssid: "internet ", but the log becomes bad.

may be wpa_supplicant offers method to get all networks ssid to use it in my configurations? I have no access to the router. only ssid and pass.

have no internet

znavko · January 6, 2018

sorry. i used again `wpa_passphrase 'internet ' 'password'` and written new hash into wpa_supplicant.conf.

and helped. I have internet! I can resume: space in ssid is important, needs to generate new hash with wpa_passphrase using params with quotes `wpa_passphrase 'internet ' 'password'`

Using wpa_supplicant to connect to Wi-Fi on Funtoo

To be sure in ssid (network name) need

# iwlist scanning

It will give SSID: "internet " -- in my case the last space was important (and risen the thread).

After that need to get hash using wpa_passphrase:

# wpa_passphrase 'internet ' 'password'

In my case QUOTES were important. Using result of wpa_passphrase need to write config.

Correct wpa_supplicant configuration and script are the next:

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
update_config=1

network={
	ssid="internet "
	#psk="password"
	psk=hashmyhashlyhash
	proto=RSN
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

# cat wpa-d.sh
wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd -f /var/log/wpa.log

This will give internet not in the blink of an eye but in a few seconds. but might to be an error device blocked by rfkill. to unblock in every boot I used this

# pwd
/etc/local.d
# ls
README  rfkill.start
# cat rfkill.start
#!/bin/sh
# unblocking wireless with rfkill

num=`rfkill list | grep Wireless | sed 's/\(^.\).*/\1/'`
i=`echo $num | sed 's/\(^.\).*/\1/'`
j=`echo $num | sed 's/..\(.\).*/\1/'`
echo 'rfkill unblock '$i
rfkill unblock $i
echo 'rfkill unblock '$j
rfkill unblock $j

# ./rfkill.start
rfkill unblock 0
rfkill unblock 2

Rfkill may be installed with `emerge rfkill`

To connect to the internet in every boot automatically I use wpa_supplicant into rc-update:

# rc-update add wpa_supplicant
# rc-update add dhcpcd

One more question. Network might to be lost. How to use wpa_supplicant in this case? `iwlist scanning` and then trying to start bash script?

wpa_supplicant does not connect to wi-fi
