wlassistant problems with WPA supplicant....

[Darksurf]

I try to use wlassistant in a terminal and I get this back as output when it fails to connect.

Loaded application options.
All interfaces: eth0, wlan0, wmaster0
Wireless interface(s): wlan0
Permissions checked.
DHCP Client: dhcpcd
All executables found.
scan: /sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan
Networks found: 1
ACTION: CONNECT.
No DHCP client running.
No pre-connection command specified.
iwconfig_set: /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed channel 6 key off essid Darkwaters
iwconfig_ap: /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:17:3F:5F:86:F3
==>stderr: Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

WPA client started. Waiting for status...
==>stderr: Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

disconnect: /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key off ap off essid off

Any ideas??? I'm hoping that wlassistant will work better with my BCM43XX card while I'm using the mac80211 drivers for my wireless card. Knetworkmanager is nothing but a hassle and never works for me.

wlanassisteant is nothing more than a gui, you should try associating with wpa_supplicant itself from shell, if it doesn't work switch from bcm to ndiswrapper...

It didn't work, but I'll go wired until I switch back to the original bcm43XX driver. It at least works sometimes! I won't be going ndiswrapper, unless I have to. I prefer native Linux modules.
