WPA_supplicant fails when stopping services.
Hi,
I can use my wireless network without no problem using WPA_supplicant with fedora 8. When I start wpa supplicant with service wpa_supplicant start it starts without problem and I can connect to wifi without problem. But when I try to stop the services is tell me failed. I can't understand why. Can you help me please? Thanks. |
Have you tried a /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant status before trying a stop? Perhaps it's no longer running when you attempt the stop.

Well, all the stop does is a killproc wpa_supplicant, so try that from root terminal and see what error message (if any) is generated, and which error code is returned.

kill pid it stops without error. This is really strange. |
Well, yes, but my script in /etc/init.d/ is using killproc, not kill, and I was wondering if that might make a difference.
Note that my system is not a 64 bit system, so what's in my /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant script may differ from yours. |

and also in my system there is killproc :( |
Are you running SELinux?
I'm running Fedora 8 x86_64 with SELinux enabled and I've found that I can't just start wpa_supplicant using the service command without SELinux jamming it up. It doesn't appear to work and behaves strangely. |
