安装net-wireless/wpa_supplicant包

1

emerge --ask wpa_supplicant

启动网络

  • 为wpa_supplicant添加无线接口 在wpa_supplicant.conf文件中添加
1

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  • 初始化wpa_supplicant环境
1

wpa_supplicant -d -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

参数：

-B - Fork into background.
-c filename - Path to configuration file.
-d increase debugging verbosity
-i interface - Interface to listen on.
-D driver - Optionally specify the driver to be used.

For a list of supported drivers see the output of wpa_supplicant -h.

nl80211 is the current standard, but not all wireless chip’s modules support it.wext is currently deprecated, but still widely supported.

modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
# 因为wpa_supplicant还不能很好的自动侦测驱动，所以需要我们为其指定正在使用的驱动。
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211"
config_wlan0="dhcp"
  • Set for dhcpcd,no special setup is needed.Do not add wpa_supplicant to any runlevel. It will be controlled by dhcpcd.

# Allow users in the 'wheel' group to control wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
# Make this file writable for wpa_gui
update_config=1
#自动扫描AP（也就是可以上的无线网络热点）
ap_scan=1   
# 简单的情形：WPA-PSk密码验证方式，PSK是ASCII密码短语，所有合法的加密方式都允许连接
network={
  ssid="simple"
  psk="very secret passphrase"
  # 优先级越高，就能越早匹配到。
  priority=5
}

To allow unprivileged users to control the connection using wpa_gui / wpa_cli, make sure GROUP=wheel and update_config=1.

也可以使用wpa_passphrase 命令添加无线热点

1

wpa_passphrase [ ssid ] [ passphrase ] >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

上面这条命令可以自动生成一段配置，我们将它输出添加到 wpa_supplicant 的默认配置文件里面。

wpa_cli

运行wpa_cli时可能会出现如下的错误： Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying 这个错误可能是因为你的wpa_supplicant进程没有启动起来造成的。
