Just trying to set-up the new netcfg, after upgrading from 2.2.
I did copy the /etc/network.d/wireless-wpa-config and point to my /etc/wpa_supplicant.config file, but get this error:
ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it
Delete '/var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0' manually if it is not used anymore
There is more but those seem to be the main point as if I delete the file mentioned, I can then connect using netcfg.
I then realised that the update states that I should use wireless-wpa-configsection. So I'm looking to switch to that, but I'm not quite sure what the settings should be. The wiki does not go into this detail, that I can find.
What should "identity" and "password" be? My network requires a wpa key, not username and password.
Any pointers?

Ditto. I guess I'm small-brained!

you are suposed to write you wireless config in wpa_supplicant.conf style in the CONFIGSECTION of a wireless-wpa-configsection.
if you dont know how man wpa_supplicant.conf should help you.
something like this:
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SECURITY="wpa-configsection"
ESSID="youressid"
IP="dhcp"
CONFIGSECTION='
ssid="youressid"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="your key"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
priority=10'
hope it helps

Many thanks that solved that issue though my settings were slightly different. I just copied the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file's profile into it (which I should have thought of myself) - I deleted all settings that weren't in the other file - and it works now when I manually connect (there is another issue with it not connecting automatically, but that seems to be separate and more common so I'll address that elsewhere).
