[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant cannot find crypto routines

[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant cannot find crypto routines

[Justin Findlay]

I am unable to emerge net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.4-r1.  I've
encountered this on two systems now.

The output included has been insensitively thrashed by thunderbird, so
I've also pasted it along with some other info.

https://gist.github.com/jfindlay/b3fc74bda7d4cfb5a2dc

The first is the result from an emerge of wpa_supplicant, the subsequent
two are the result of `ebuild $(equery which wpa_supplicant) merge`.
Additional attempts at ebuild merging in this way always produce the
output of the second ebuild merge.

I've found these similar problems in a web search, but nothing seems to
be directly related.

http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2009-February/019392.html
http://ask.csdn.net/questions/61862
http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/360043934234201692.html

I'm wondering if I have an unusual USE flags situation that is causing
this, but so far the problem seems to be (related to) a misconfiguration
in the wpa_sup[plicant build system.  I am going to continue to
investigate, but would appreciate any knowledge or experience anyone
else can provide.  Thanks.

In lieu of an informed opinion (which you've not been offered yet) I can
say that I emerged it today on two different machines, and your useflags
differ from mine in that I do *not* have these enabled:

ap
eap-sim
p2p
wimax
wps

Makes me wonder if I should be enabling any of those.

Not unless:

-You want to set up your PC as a wireless access point - USE="ap".

-You want to use a mobile phone SIM to undertake authentication to an AAA 
server to allow usage of a wireless access point - USE="eap-sim".

-You want to set up p2p ad-hoc wireless connections between WiFi clients 
without an access point (e.g. to transfer files, tether your phone to use it 
as modem to browse the Internet and vice versa) - USE="p2p".

-You have a WiMAX NIC and service account to be able to use this kind of 
network (IEEE 802.16) - USE="wimax".

-For some reason you want to use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to obtain access 
to your wireless AP, instead of entering the WPA2 passphrase directly in your 
wpa_supplicant.conf file (or networkmanager, connman, wicd, or what have you) 
- USE="wps".

PS.  WPS has a reported vulnerability making susceptible to brute-force 
attacks and you would probably have it already switched off on your router.

PPS.  I have had no problem emerging net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.4 with 
these USE flags:

(dbus eap-sim hs2-0 qt4 readline ssl wps -ap -fasteap -gnutls -p2p -ps3 -
selinux -smartcard -tdls -uncommon-eap-type)

Thanks for your replies.  I enabled all of those USE flags on
wpa_supplicant without any good reason when I switched from
NetworkManager to wpa_gui several weeks ago.  Mainly I was interested in
exploring the capabilities of the project; it seems I've encountered
some incomplete, old, and/or broken features.

Just a thought:  have you configured SHA-256 and MD5 algos in your kernel?
