Hi All,
 
When i start my wifi network (with wpa_supplicant in debug mode) it
backgrounds and I cant see the rest of the debug messages. How do i stop
the backgrounding?
 
<debug snipped>
wpa_driver_madwifi_del_key: keyidx=1
wpa_driver_madwifi_del_key: keyidx=2
wpa_driver_madwifi_del_key: keyidx=3
wpa_driver_madwifi_set_countermeasures: enabled=0
wpa_driver_madwifi_set_drop_unencrypted: enabled=1
Setting scan request: 0 sec 100000 usec
Added interface ath0
Daemonize..
[ ok ]
 *   Starting wpa_cli on ath0 ...
[ ok ]
 *     Backgrounding ...

Tnx,
Adam

Make sure of two things:

1. At /etc/conf.d/net, you add the "-d" to the line

wpa_supplicant_wlan0="<whatever> -d"

2. That you start the net.wlan0 service as

/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 --verbose start

Optionally, you can also run

tail -f /var/log/everything/current &

prior to starting the service, for extra output.

Cheers!!!

I already have wpa_supplicant_ath0="-dddd -Dmadwifi"

That doesn't seem to make any difference. I still get;
Added interface ath0
Daemonize..
[ ok ]
 *   Starting wpa_cli on ath0 ...
[ ok ]
 *     Backgrounding ...

I don't seem to have that file, and I only get hardware related stuff in
my messages file.

Any other ideas? The ath0 interface also starts itself automatically,
even though I havent set that up with rc-update.

Cheers,
Adam
