    As I have written a few days ago, I can not get nm working under
    zenwalk
    linux 4.6.
    I think it has to do with that error-message:

    Jun 14 20:48:56 (none) NetworkManager:
    <WARN>  real_act_stage2_config():
    Activation (eth1/wireless): couldn't connect to the supplicant.
    Jun 14 20:50:36 (none) NetworkManager:
    <WARN>  real_act_stage2_config():
    Activation (eth1/wireless): couldn't connect to the supplicant.


    So what exactly does that mean?

    wpa_supplicant is installed and works if I setup my wireless via hand.


    thanks in advance

What version of WPA_Supplicant are you running?


Hi,

I have wpa_supplicant-0.5.7 running

Where is your wpa_supplicant at?  /usr/sbin?  /sbin? /usr/bin?  Does it
ever create a global control socket when spawned with:

/path/to/wpa_supplicant -g /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global

And can root read/write from that socket?

Dan

sorry for my late reply, I had no Internet-access during the last days ...

My wpa_supplicant is located under /usr/sbin/

If I do a:

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -g /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global &

I can locate the file with

root[simon]# ls -l /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2007-06-17 23:26 /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global=


but with cat ore more I can not open/read the file:

root[simon]# more /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global=
/var/run/wpa_supplicant-global=: No such file or directory
root[simon]# cat /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global
cat: /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global: No such device or address
root[simon]#
