In past versions of Slackware, the default /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file used to be full of helpful examples on how to configure wpa_supplicant for various setups. In Slackware 14.1, it only contains the following lines:
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=root
... and nothing else.
Has something changed in the meanwhile? Either with Slackware or upstream? Is wpa_supplicant not the recommended way to configure wireless any more? I normally use wicd, but on the rare occasion I need wifi configured on a server, I still rely on rc.inet1.conf and wpa_supplicant.conf to configure wireless on the command line.
I searched the Slack 14.1 README and searched on this forum - but didn't find so far a reason for the empty file.
Oh - I've put my usual configuration in the file - and it works fine - so not really a make-or-break issue. But if I was a newbie again - I would have struggled a lot more than I did when the file had examples in it.
