That's netcfg, what about wpa_actiond?

also why netcfg and not wicd or networkmanager?

I'm really confused. I don't even know what I'm doing. I'm not sure how to set up netcfg and wpa_supplicant and how to make them work together and if I even need wpa_supplicant.


EDIT: Got it working, but not according to the wiki. It also only works with netcfg <netowork name> when I look at the service status it says it failed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cp /etc/network.d/examples/wireless-wpa /etc/network.d/mywireless')
Edit just essid and key
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable netcfg@mywireless
systemctl start netcfg@mywireless')
Put the wireless module into a conf file in /etc/modules-load.d/

wireless module? Where can I get that? Just put wlan0 in a conf file and drop it in modules to load?

Also why doesn't the wiki just say to do this? How does this compare to net-auto-wireless? I've been trying to set that up.

The module might not load quick enough for systemd
So plug in dongle and lsmod will tell you what the module is called
Say it is (example) 8192su , then you would
echo "8192su" > /etc/modules-load.d/8192.conf

Why this way? It works. Probably wiki way works too

Wiki way didn't work for me. I found it confusing and overly complex. lsmod lists a lot of modules, several starting with ath.

Reboot without dongle and lsmod
plug in dongle and lsmod
Perhaps dmesg might help too

with dongle
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

ath9k_htc 51580 0

rfkill 14400 2 cfg80211

')

without dongle
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

ipv6 259694 14
mv_cesa 9128 0

rfkill 14400 1 cfg80211
autofs4 22074 2
')

looks the same to me, what should I do?

Also I'm getting this error when I check the service status.

Process: 115 ExecStart=/usr/bin/netcfg check-iface %i (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

The module *should* be loaded automatically. you need to start netcft@wlan0, not just netcfg

so I should add netcfg@wlan0 and netcfg@myconnection?
