That implies that wpa_supplicant somehow is not able to associate with the access point in question by itself, which is strange. > > I see, that the severity of this bug report stays at "Normal". > Because this is not a really issue, you can set this bug report to > "Minor" or "Wishlist item". I think the current severity is ok. It could be that you have found a severe problem that stops wpa_supplicant from operating properly with your hardware, or it could be a simple mis-configuration. > > Questions from my side with this kind of configuration: > Is the content of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ignored? Yes. As described in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz section "How It Works". > Which driver is used as default, if the parameter wpa-driver is not set? wext, as per section "1. Specifying the wpa_supplicant driver backend" of /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz. > > If you need more information, let me know. > Thank you for the support. I think what needs to happen is manual debugging of wpa_supplicant. You may start the supplicant by hand with your old config file (/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf) with '-ddd' as an option, like: wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth2 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -ddd Capture the debug output and paste it into a text file. This assumes that the daemon has not already been started by another method, so ifdown the interface, make sure no wpa_supplicant processes are running before trying to debug. Please also disclose the contents of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and describe what hardware is used at client and access point side, what level of encryption is employed etc etc. Thanks, Kel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
