I am new to the raspberry pi and can't quite seem to figure this one out.
The wpa_gui is blank in the adapter and network field and reporting the error "Could not get status from wpa_supplicant"
Content of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
#Needed for wpa_gui to work
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
#Needed for wpa_gui to alter the configuration file
update_config=1
network={
ssid=spl-public
psk=""
#Protocal type can be: RSN(for WP2) and WPA(for WPA1)
proto=WPA
#Key managment type can be: WPA-PSK or WPA-EAP (Pre-Shared or Enterprise)
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#Pairwise can be CMMP or TKIP(for WPA2 or WPA1)
pairwise=TKIP
#Authorization option should be OPEN for both WPA1/WPA2 (in less commonly used are SHARED and LEAP)
auth-alg=OPEN
}
Content of /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet lopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
The wpa_supplicant.conf file references to a directory /var/run/wpa_supplicant, this does not exist on my system. What should be here?
sudo ifup --force wlan0
Returns:
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start run-parts:
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_cli daemon failed to start run-parts:
/etc/network/if-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
sudo ifup --force wlan0
I had to do that once when wpa_supplicant wasn't running on my system. – HeatfanJohn Dec 22 '13 at 1:41ifconfig -a
