wpa_supplicant unknown -w option
  • LaurentLaurent November 2009
    Hi,

    After a 'tazpkg upgrade', my Wifi connexion is no more working. Looking at boot log, I found wpa_supplicant complaining about a -w unknown option. The slitaz-cooking 2009 before upgrading was working fine.
    I found a workaround that I would like to share:
    Edit the /etc/init.d/network.sh and remove the '-w' option from every 'wpa_supplicant' lines. Actualy change:

    wpa_supplicant -B -w -c/tmp/wpa.conf -D$WPA_DRIVER -i$WIFI_INTERFACE

    to this one:

    wpa_supplicant -B -c/tmp/wpa.conf -D$WPA_DRIVER -i$WIFI_INTERFACE


    This is only a workaround and should probably be corrected in a future version ...

    @Laurent: strange, this "-w" bug was fixed 5 months back. http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/9cc8e4a89170

    Hi,

    Same thing happened to me, except my computer was running stable 2.0, I switched to cooking and ran a 'tazpkg upgrade' and then lost my connection.

    Thanks a lot for the workaround.

    Regarding the previous bug, I'm wondering why the complete daemon command line is written in the init script. I thought il was the daemons.conf file's job.

    Bye
