I have just installed vl5.9.1 soho final
I am trying to get wifi to work.
Wpa_supplicant is giving an odd error when it starts up.
From the command line I run
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
and I get this error
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
I put it in debug mode with the –d switch but still only got this one line error.
My set up
lspci shows my wifi card
02:00.0 network controller pro/wireless 3945abg network connection
Modprobe iwl3945 works no errors
Got the latest firmware in /lib/firmware (thank you Gamfa!)
Ifconfig sees the card (shows up as wlan0)
My wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like this:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="MYSSID"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
scan_ssid=1
psk="mysupersecretkey"
}
Any thoughts? The odd thing is even with the error, it works and I get on the network.
