i generated a wpa_passphrase and wpa_supplicant.conf is as follows
[root@laptop ~]# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="thephenomenon"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=88a745bb68f4ff4fae41xxxxxxxxxxxxx5b1a66341ced3cxxxxxx2167b218d8c
}
now when i do a
[root@laptop ~]# wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
[root@laptop ~]#
i get the above error. i have a WPA encryption in my router.
infact earlier i used to get a connected status when i tried to connect it with wpa_gui once. but later i think i have screwed the config a bit
sorry for the long post... can someone plz guide me from here?
