See, 2 interfaces right, the wpa_supplicant daemon has to communicate with the GUI, this happens over the remote socket [it is just what I call, there could be a better name I agree..] This has to be mentioned in 2 places, wpa_supp...conf & the wifi.c file in hardware/libhardware...
However if you go through the source code of wpa_supplicant you'ld realise that, before doing a connect on that socket on "data/misc/wifi", supplicant creates a local unix domain socket on data/misc/wifi/socket & binds to it. This is what I feel the problem is.. [so create a directory /data/misc/wifi/sockets, please..] Finally, If you have any one of these directories or sockets missing, the error is the same. And if you still get an error, then we would have a 3rd problem, with basically the same error description. regards, Pavan On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 5:49 PM, >> Jith911 <jithuja...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Savoy, > > I got a similar error before. but that has to do with file > permissions.
