So, wpa_supplicant never worked fine. It's been giving me headache
since day zero, but I've been -mostly- able to handle it in one or
another way.
Yesterday I rebooted (I rarely do), and another horror story begun.
Now I am getting this messages at init:
C=C3=B3digo:

For the most part, wpa_supplicant seems to start fine though. I can
reach the net and everything works... well... maybe 7 times out of 10.
Sometimes I have to kill everything related to wpa_supplicant and
restart the net.wlan0 service, while I cross my fingers in the hope to
reach the internet.
But what annoys me the most is the fact that many important services
do not start because they depend on net.wlan0, which spits out these
errors disrupting the init process.
I've been using this for some time now, and I changed the config a lot
of times. Always had problems. The last time I set this up I removed
everything from /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant, and
let it did it's automatic job instead. So far, it's working... some
random times. The errors always show though. And they screw up the
init. The worst is that it bits sshd, which leaves me without remote
access any random day. Ugh.
So, any idea where to start looking? :D
