wpa_supplicant: Failed to initialize driver
by unInstance from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Y4AS)
My setup:
Code:ctrl_interface=/sys/class/net/eth0
ctrl_interface_group=root
ap_scan=0
network={
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
identity="<>"
password="<>"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=2
}Problem: if I run sudo wpa_supplicant -i eth0 -c ~/wpa.conf, I get the following error
Code:Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211: deinit ifname=eth0 disabled_11b_rates=0
eth0: Failed to initialize driver interfaceI try to read bsd wpa_supplicant man pages as they are better, but I cannot find solution. Exact same error appears even if plug Ethernet cable out. I had same error on archlinux so I think the trouble is in config or command I use to run it.
Yes, I try to connect to college eduroam network.
