Setup wi-fi

How to get the kernel configuration for the Forum? Something like this:

Yes, go into your kernel config and make sure it looks like that in that section for your card.

If you used genkernel, you won't have to do that.

I configured my network:

# cat /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /usr/share/doc/openrc*/net.example* and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).

# Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools
modules="wpa_supplicant"

# It's important that we tell wpa_supplicant which driver we should
# be using as it's not very good at guessing yet
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_wlan0="dhcp"

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
scan_ssid=1 (because network is hidden)
ssid="My network"
#psk="passwd"
psk=552cd34ad48a544411afdef527783796f973a2827c66d0 cc92546aeb25feb58e
}

After I did:

rc-update add net.wlan0 default
rc-update add dhcpcd default

Gruven, thanks for the help!

I am just glad that I could help.

So to sum it up, it looks like the problem was that you were using -Dmadwifi instead of -Dwext.

If anyone was wondering, if you are using in kernel drivers for your wireless card, you need to be using -Dwext.

I used the -Dwext. Thanks!
