Hi,
I have a PowerBook G4 running F8. The wireless network card (BCM4306
using b43 driver) is configured with wpa_supplicant and works with the
access point etc. However when I restart wpa_supplicant, the routing
tables get emptied. Any ideas why, or how I can stop that from happening? Eg
Before restart:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
wlan0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0
wlan0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
wlan0
After restart:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
wlan0
Restarting the network returns the correct routing tables, but
restarting the network means I need to restart wpa_supplicant or
otherwise I don't have a connection to the access point. Catch 22!
My wpa supplicant conf file looks like this:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="atmosphere"
psk="PRIVATE"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
}
