ltib wpa_supplicant

[michaeldiamond]

I have a nitrogen 6x board with the wifi module.  I have the module up and working but wpa_supplicant does not appear to be installed.

In ltib i have the wpa_supplicant package selected and it does compile when the build is happening, but I don't see any wpa_supplicant folder in the /etc/ folder and when I try the command I get command not found.

I am using ltib 9.1.1 revision 1.445.6.1

kernel version 3.0.35

Any help with this would be great.

How did you modify the Makefile?

I have tried to do modify the Makefile. But after making that change, ltib throws error and wpa package become bad.

This should be caused by only compile but not installed issue. Can you attached your Android.mk in external/wpa_supplicant_**/wpa_supplicant/. Maybe I can help you to have a analysis.

Hi Jian,

I could not run wpa_supplicant without a file, wpa_supplicant.conf. Can you help?

[michaeldiamond]

I have now gotten wpa supplicant working on the device but I still have to run the program from the usr/local/sbin.

I used the suggestions from this website to help. Setting up wireless with wpa2 on linux

I just replaced the dhclient command with udhcpc -f -q -n -i wlan0.

I was able to ssh into the device over wireless.  It would still be nice to find out how to adjust the path so that the programs in the usr/local/sbin directory can be run anywhere.

I was able to change the install path of the wpa_supplicant from usr/local/sbin to usr/local/bin by modifying the package makefile in /opt/freescale/pkgs.  It now functions as the program is in the path.

I am not using android but am using ltib linux.  I have found that the program has been installed in the usr/local/sbin folder.  late in the day yesterday I was able to get the program to function, no network connection yet, but I would like it installed so it can run from any folder.  Are you wanting the wpa_supplicant.spec file.

Here it is, this is what came default with ltib.

%define pfx /opt/freescale/rootfs/%{_target_cpu}
