I'm currently trying to setup my netcfg. I can connect wirelessly without any problems by the following process:
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid "networkid"
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
However, when I follow the guides on wiki to get it started up, I get the following errors when i use the
netcfg wpa_suppl
:: wpa_suppl up [BUSY]
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get my netcfg to work properly so I can set up my wireless to where it connects automatically instead of having to put in commands everytime I log in. Thanks!

I haven't really looked through those threads, but maybe there is help in one of them

What's your profile look like?
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A wpa_supplicant configuration based wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa-config'
WPA_CONF='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
IP='dhcp'

Do you need an ESSID line in your profile? Something like
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A wpa_supplicant configuration based wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
ESSID='myessid'
SECURITY='wpa-config'
WPA_CONF='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
IP='dhcp'

If you truly must use wpa-config, make sure there are no directives in the config file outside your network block. Netcfg cannot use wpa_supplicant files that do, and it prints a similar error message if I remember correctly. Also, you may still need to specify your ESSID in the profile, as stated above.
But! Consider just using "SECURITY='wpa'" or "SECURITY='wpa-configsection'" instead of "SECURITY='wpa-config'" Netcfg will generate a wpa_supplicant config file and use wpa_supplicant to manage the connection. Netcfg comes with example syntax for it, and it's much simpler.

I agree. Unless you're doing some fancy wpa_supplicant thing, you should use netcfg to generate a wpa_supplicant.conf for you.
