[solved]netcfg doesn't work

because wpa_cli doesn't work:

# wpa_cli status
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

wpa_check() in the file /usr/lib/wireless/8021x terminates the wpa_supplicant process, so, I can't automagicly connect to wireless at boot time. Any fixes to the wpa_cli or should I change the script files?

my wireless card:

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: wl, ssb

Re: [solved]netcfg doesn't work

here it goes:

# netcfg hack

I always get this error message from wpa_cli, even when I'm connected

Re: [solved]netcfg doesn't work

figured it out, I didn't put the "ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant" line on my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf so wpa_cli didn't work, duuh.
