wpa gui works with root but not with regular user gentoo
I have wpa_gui working great from root console but when i try to wpa_gui from regular user I get.
"Could not get status from wpa_supplicant" as regular user,. on the window that pops up. I also get a non funtional icon on the upper right hand corner, with wpa_supplicant menu.
One post suggests I do the following, trying this.
allow frontend (e.g., wpa_cli) to be used by all users in 'wheel' group
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
Yet another says to put a Zero in place of wheel.. I tried both with no luck. I uninstalled Network Manager, and I have a good wireless internet connection., just by rebooting, without typing wpa_cli in console.
Here is my dmesg | grep wlan0
Code:
dmesg | grep wlan0
[ 58.809267] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[ 61.016147] wlan0: authenticate with 00:14:6c:9c:0d:bc (try 1)
[ 61.017533] wlan0: authenticated

[ 61.021277] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:14:6c:9c:0d:bc (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=182)

[ 61.021825] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[ 71.786010] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
I tried dmesg | grep wpa_supplicant and also wpa_cli but that came back with no results.
Solved, I ran into this link, and only needed to follow the steps at the end from Etal. Which were, to delete from rc-update all net.lo or similar but to add wpa_supplicant and dhcpd instead. For more detail here is the link.
