Re: Fwd: WpaSupplicant how to

[Dan King <centos@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Carl,

First off thanks for the guide, overall it made things quite easy for me.

As fro my ifcfg file for the interface, the didn't exist before I created while following the how-to. So at first I just had

_ONBOOT_="yes"

After some googling in attempts to fix my issue I modified it to have:

TYPE=Wireless

WPA=yes

_ONBOOT_="yes"

HWADDR=5C:D9:98:C2:0F:BD

None of these fixed my issue and that is when I changed the line in the prepnet init script.

I changed the prepnet init script back to killall dhclient and then added the BOOTPROTO and this didn't have the desired affect.

After that I copied your entire ifcfg file for my interface, excluding the UUID because I wasn't sure how to determine what mine was and just modified the HWADDR to match my MAC address. This seems to have worked. I'm not sure which setting(s) were the ones that got it up and running. If it isn't glaringly obvious let me know and I can experiment and try to determine what exactly I was missing from the file.

Thanks for the assistance.

Dan

I wrote the guide, and I put the killall command there because
dhclient sometimes failed when I restarted the network service.
I double-checked everything, and the wiki page shows exactly how
I have it configured on my laptop.  Could you post the contents
of your ifcfg file for this interface?  In my example below the
bootproto is set to dhcp, which starts the dhclient program when
the interface is brought up.

c



DEVICE="wlan0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
_ONBOOT_="yes"

PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes
