EDIT: solution: don't use netcfg.
]]>I created /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
fast_reauth=1
ap_scan=0
As https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant suggests
I also append this in /etc/conf.d/netcfg
WPA_CONF="/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
but without luck
so I'm tired of running netcfg -r profile two times ((
please help
I'm getting
% sudo netcfg -r wlana
:: wlana down [ DONE ]
:: wlana up [ BUSY ]
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory
^C%
% sudo netcfg -r wlana
> Profile not connected
:: wlana up [ DONE ]
... repeatedly while netcfg seems to hang in that loop, but only on every second reconnect (Meaning when the connection is already up; Initial connection works. Starting at the first "netcfg -r" I get the message. Hitting strg+c and starting it a third time means it works again... and so on). Other than that, all of netcfg / wifi works just fine. I experience none of the problems that are (according to archwiki + google) usually connected to this error message.
Using the standard wpa_supplicant.conf. Manual connection works fine... only one instance of wpa_supplicant is running while netcfg is working. No instance at all is running, while it's spamming the error / failing to reconnect.
