History

Patrick J Volkerding 0cde31b79d Fri Dec 25 00:52:08 UTC 2020 Here are some updates to provide a little holiday cheer. The kernels are rebuilt (yeah, we'll probably have new ones tomorrow but whatever) to build in HWMON making NVMe temperature monitoring available, and there's also a massive cleanup of polkit/dbus related packages to move most of the config files out of /etc and not install them as .new. Local config files that override the shipped ones may be placed in the directories in /etc to override the ones that we ship. Thanks to Robby Workman for this! None of the packages included in Slackware place any files in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ or /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ any more, but there may be third-party packages that still do. However, since Slackware's packages originally installed these as .new files, the leftover configs will remain. You'll probably want to take a look in those directories to clean out any config files that you haven't modified yourself or that belong to packages that aren't part of Slackware itself. Hope everyone has a great day. :-) a/dbus-1.12.20-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.

Thanks to Robby Workman. extra/pure-alsa-system/: Removed. This served a purpose during the pure ALSA to PulseAudio transition, but it's time for it to go away. If the latency is an issue for your use case, a look around should turn up documentation on how to reduce it, or how to send output directly to ALSA without having to uninstall PulseAudio or recompile anything that's linked to it. As an example, see this one (which was mentioned here before): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#PulseAudio_as_a_minimal_unintrusive_dumb_pipe_to_ALSA isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt. kernels/: Upgraded. usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt.		2020-12-25 08:59:52 +01:00

=================================================
How do I get my card to use WPA-PSK in Slackware?
=================================================

First off: wpa_supplicant REQUIRES the AP to broadcast the SSID. When the AP
hides its SSID, all you will get out of wpa_supplicant is the message:
"No suitable AP found"

Also, read the MADwifi FAQ (http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/dokuwiki/doku.php)
since it contains a wealth of information.

This being said, you'll have to do the following (as root):
Edit the file named /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and add these lines:

network={
		scan_ssid=0
		proto=WPA
		key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
		pairwise=CCMP TKIP
		group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
}

Then execute:

/usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase YOURSSID passphrase

with the SSID of your AP and the passphrase you've entered in its WPA-PSK configuration. You'll receive an output, which looks like this:

network={
		ssid="YOURSSID"
		#psk="passphrase"

psk=66a4bfb03de5656cf26cfa03a116097546046f4aea11ee044b841171207d8308
}

Copy the three lines within the network-tag into your own entry in wpa_supplicant.conf and change the permissions after you've finished editing:

chmod 640 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

To get your network device up and running, execute:

### /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi ###
### you don't have to run the above command by hand, because it will         ###
### be executed by the rc.inet1 command that you run:                        ###

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ath0_start

In case you want to see the wpa_supplicant in action, start it on the command line before enabling the wireless device, by running:
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -dw -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi
The terminal where you've started the wpa_supplicant should now show the communication between your wlan card and the AP. If you got everything up and running you can let Slackware's init script take over by killing wpa_supplicant and running:

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ath0_restart

Studying the wpa_supplicant README is also highly recommended for further insight!
