Hi Michael,
Sorry I cannot give a solution but I have precisely the same problem.
I've tried running the latest wpa_supplicant tarball (0.5.1) and even
the head of the cvs tree. Both give me the same result.
I noticed that when I tried running wpa_supplicant interactively with
something like:
wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -g /var/run/wpa_supplicant_global -dddd
(try with less "d"s for less debug info) and in another terminal I do:
wpa_cli -g /var/run/wpa_supplicant_global
The first message the client reports is something about failing to connect
BUT... Unlike the case that wpa_supplicant is simply not present it does
this
time present a prompt and accepts commands. No matter what command I
give however I get an invalid command error.
Do you get the something like that?
I wonder if this is a driver issue and wpa_supplicant is actually
failing to talk
to the card. Should this work with ndiswrapper or have I got to use wext
drivers (ie. Windows divers vs. open source bcm43xx)? (I have a Broadcom
4306 card)
Hopefully someone on the list can shed some light on this,
tOnY

Hi,
I'm trying to get NM up and running on a Debian unstable box.
NM is a current CVS snapshot (because I want to get WPA1) and it
compiles and installs fine.
I used the following configure flag:
--with-wpa_supplicant=/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant
but when I run NM and try to connect to a WPA enabled access point I get
the following error message (the complete log is attached):
<WARNING> real_act_stage2_config (): Activation (wlan0/wireless):
couldn't connect to the supplicant.
And the connection fails of course.
wpa_supplicant is version 0.5.1. Is there anything else I have to do?
Has anybody an idea what is going wrong?
Cheers,
Michael
