Like this the configuration file will be created automatically, so you cant make any typing mistakes like forgetting a tick. Use your SSID name instead of ''ssidname'' and after running the command it will wait for you to enter the password, then will save the output of ''wpa_passphrase'' into <code>/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf</code>. | |||

Configuration
You can configure wpa_supplicant daemon by editing /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf - wpa_supplicant daemon config# provide control interface for wpa_cli and wpa_gui frontends
ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
# allow wpa_cli and wpa_gui to update config
update_config=1
network={
ssid="SSID"
psk="passphrace"
}
network={
ssid="SSID2"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
Another way would be to run
root # wpa_passphrase ssidname | tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf secretpassword root #reading passphrase from stdin network={ ssid="ssidname" #psk="secretpassword" psk="552324234" }
Like this the configuration file will be created automatically, so you cant make any typing mistakes like forgetting a tick. Use your SSID name instead of ssidname and after running the command it will wait for you to enter the password, then will save the output of wpa_passphrase into /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
Daemon
Start daemon with openrc.
root # /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start
You can also add it to default runlevel.
root # rc-update add wpa_supplicant default
The daemon can work independently or you can use wpa_cli and wpa_gui frontends. You can also alter configs with frontends.
Wpa_cli CLI Frontend
You can start cli frontend by running wpa_cli.
root # wpa_cli

Wpa_gui GUI Frontend
wpa_gui is simple gui frontend. You can start it by running wpa_gui.
root # wpa_gui
Autoconfigure IP with dhcpcd
You can use Package:dhcpcd to autoconfigure ip address.
root # emerge -av dhcpcd root # /etc/init.d/dhcpcd start
