fedora 7 wpa_supplicant/ath0 booting problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fedora 7 broke the automatic ath0/wpa_supplicant startup.  It is still
possible to get the network working by restarting wpa_supplicant,
doing an ifconfig down/up on ath0, and then restarting ntpd (which
fails in a way that causes it not to recover).  Does anyone have
fedora-7 booting with an automatic wpa wifi connection yet?  What is
the secret?

In fact, just some insight into what is going on with wpa_supplicant
would be appreciated.  Under fc6 (and fc5) one could start
wpa_supplicant before the network startup and have ath0 correctly
associate with the AP.  Now starting wpa_supplicant just before the
network startup causes it to retry associating in an infinite loop
with no success.  Restarting it via "service wpa_supplicant restart "
causes it to associate immediately.
