wpa_supplicant[1093]: Association request to the driver failed

[ruben_linux]

yesterday i update my ubuntu 10.04 lts, and began the problens. i am using 2.6.32-24-generic, in a HP DV6 2145es do we know?
syslog saidme: wpa_supplicant[1093]: Association request to the driver failed

search in google i founded that the problem is possible that it is in wpa_supplicant.conf. my fiel is in : /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf and i think that is necesary be in /etc . it is truh? when i check my fiel, i founded this:

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"

in this output there isnt: "wpa_supplicant[1171]: Association request to the driver failed"

Why?

[ruben_linux]

will be necesary install this?

Descripción: client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i)
WPA and WPA2 are methods for securing wireless networks, the former using IEEE 802.1X, and the latter using IEEE 802.11i. This software provides key negotiation with
the WPA Authenticator, and controls association with IEEE 802.11i networks.

when i read this output, i found that i dont have installed "libdbus-1-3". when i search in ubuntu i didnt found. i download by web debian and install without a problem, now i will reboot and then post my result

[idachev]

Did you manage to fix this problem? I also updated ubuntu on two of my desktops and on both of them wireless stop working.

[idachev]

I manage to fix the problem by removing the network manager and created this script:



#!/bin/bash

if [ "$(whoami)" != "root" ]; then
echo "Requires sudo to start me.";
exit 1;
fi

INTERFACE="wlan0"
DEVICE="wext"
CONFIG="/etc/wpa_supplicant/my_ap.conf"

if [ "$1" = "-stop" ]; then
echo
echo "Disconnect from access point..."
killall -v wpa_supplicant
exit 0
fi

echo
echo -e "In order to work this script you should disable\nthe wireless network from GNOME/KDE network manager."
echo
echo -e "To change the access point use this config:\n$CONFIG"
echo
echo -e "To scan for access points use this command:\niwlist scan"
echo
echo -e "To disconnect from the access point use this command:\nsudo killall wpa_supplicant"
echo -e "or just call this script with -stop argument:\n$0 -stop"
echo

# give a second to read the messages
sleep 1

# This should be the content of config file:
#
# ap_scan=1
# ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
#
# network={
# ssid="SSID_NAME"
# scan_ssid=0
# proto=WPA
# key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
# psk="PASSWORD"
# pairwise=TKIP
# group=TKIP
# }

# In order to scan for access points use this:
# iwlist scan

# make temp log file
TMP_LOG="$( mktemp /tmp/wpa_connect_log.XXXXXXXXXX)"

# first disable the wlan interface
ifconfig $INTERFACE down

# remove the dhcp client IPs for this address
dhclient -r $INTERFACE

# call wpa_supplicant in daemon mode -B
echo
echo
echo "Starting wpa_supplicant check log file: $TMP_LOG"
wpa_supplicant -B "-D$DEVICE" "-i$INTERFACE" "-c$CONFIG" -dd -t -foutput $TMP_LOG

# up the wireless interface
ifconfig $INTERFACE up

# some wireless configuration
iwconfig $INTERFACE mode Managed

# this one will try to obtain new IP from DHCP
dhclient $INTERFACE
You should configure the config file and set correct interface name.
You could get the interface name and the SSID by scanning with this:
iwlist scan
