Around line 159 in my net.example says:
# By default don't wait for wpa_suppliant to associate and authenticate.
# If you would like to, so can specify how long in seconds
#associate_timeout_eth0=60
# A value of 0 means wait forever.
It may be possible that you need to set this variable to 0 to prevent
backgrounding, independent of the ifplugd/netplug quashing.
I set that variable and it does seem to stop the backgrounding, but
I'm not given any more information than I was with backgrounding
unless it connects. I could be wrong, but I thought I was getting
more information before.
Incidentally, I am able to connect to the AP this morning. The next
time I can't connect I'll try different channels as I do live in an
apartment.
For some reason, I don't seem to have DNS service although I am
connected to the network and Internet. DNS comes from my Gentoo
router (dnsmasq), and my other system connected to it is getting
lookups just fine. I have added:
nameserver 192.168.0.1
to /etc/resolv.conf and restarted net.ath0 to no avail. I suppose
baselayout -1.13* could be causing this problem somehow. Downgrading
back to a stable baselayout caused all kinds of errors to pop up in
different places. I believe they were net.lo errors, so maybe they
have to do with the net.lo symlink you noticed?
/etc/init.d/net.lo -> ../../lib64/rcscripts/sh/net.sh
I'd like to get back on a stable baselayout if possible.
