Netcfg v2.5.2 - note: change in auto wireless config

This release brings a completely new auto wireless/wired configuration. The old net-auto is deprecated and no longer included. There are also some very minor configuration changes that may affect a few people.
Move to new auto-wireless/wired
The new automatic connection has proper roaming support and will prove more reliable than the old setup - particularly with more complicated wireless configurations. To migrate to the new automatic wireless setup:
1. pacman -S core/wpa_actiond
2. Set WIRELESS_INTERFACE="" to your wireless interface in /etc/rc.conf.
For example WIRELESS_INTERFACE="wlan0"
3. Add net-auto-wireless to your DAEMONS=() array.
Note: wpa-config profiles do not work with this, convert them to wpa-configsection profiles. An example is included in
/etc/network.d/examples/
The new auto-wired uses similar configuration - follow the above instructions except use the net-auto-wired daemon, and WIRED_INTERFACE configuration option.
New features:
- net-auto-wireless/wpa_actiond - Real wireless roaming/auto connection. Based on same principle as autowifi. Requires optional dependency: wpa_actiond
- net-auto-wired - automatic ethernet configuration. Requires optional dependency: ifplugd
- Interface configurations - set options for all profiles using an interface
- Output hooks
- Internal cleanup & improvement
Internal changes:
- Uses wpa_supplicant for all wireless configuration by default, including wep/none security. This adds improves support for most and should improve reliability.
- Uses iproute by default for all static configuration. net_tools which contains ifconfig is effectively obsolete and hasnt seen a release for over 8 years. The 'ethernet-iproute' and 'ethernet' connection types have been merged together to simply 'ethernet'. All options are still supported and existing configurations will continue to work for both types. A symlink has been made to ensure that profiles using 'ethernet-iproute' will continue to function.
Changes in configuration syntax
- net-auto and AUTO_NETWORKS is now deprecated in favour of net-auto-wireless/net-auto-wired.
- wireless: If you were previously specifying the wpa_supplicant driver in WPA_OPTS, you now need to specify it in WPA_DRIVER.
- wireless: iwconfig based configuration for wep/none can be used by changing to wep-old or none-old. This should not be necessary and is left in place only for the possibility of very old drivers that do not
support wpa_supplicant.
- ethernet-iproute: As 'ethernet' is now iproute based, those using 'ethernet-iproute' can revert the name. There is a symlink in place, so existing configurations of either name will continue to function
regardless.
- wireless-dbus: Unsupported. The wpa_supplicant dbus interface isn't particularly well documented and it doesn't fit well into the netcfg codebase. There is a symlink in place so that configurations using wireless-dbus will continue to function using the 'wireless' connection scripts.

I continued to have difficulty connecting to my default wireless network, but I eventually figured out why. I seem to recall netcfg used to not care if a POSTUP command failed. I read somewhere that now it does.
So once I got that taken care of, I experimented with net-auto-wireless. It fails for me with no error message.
Being a bit of a tinkerer, I looked into the net-auto-wireless script. I found this line...
/usr/bin/netcfg-wpa_actiond "${WIRELESS_INTERFACE}" >/dev/null
...Removed the >/dev/null, and ran it again.
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/net-auto-wireless start

Line 22: WPA-PSK accepted for key management, but no PSK configured.
Line 22: failed to parse network block.
Failed to read or parse configuration '/tmp/wpa.wlan0/wpa.conf'.
[FAIL]
...And now that I think about it, I bet it's because I didn't set security="none" in the open network profiles.
...Yep, that was it.

[Cisco 1841] Being desperate with wireless config

hi guys,
I'm desperate in need of some help configuring my 1841 as a basic
access point.
First let me explain what I need it for. I need to connect my laptop,
using a wireless connection, to a device connected to one of the FE
ports.
I see the SSID in my Windows connection manager, but I can't connect
to the router. Als I think I need to set-up a route from the WIC to
one of the F! ports.
Is someone capable in sending me a basic, working config file?

As Andrew said,
Add the bridge-group command to your Fast Ethernet interface. This should delete your IP address on the FE. Now your FE will be bridged to your wireless network. All IP addresses then, will be on the same subnet as your BVI interface. You will either need to assign IP addresses on the 192.168.10.0/24 statically for your hosts or you need a dhcp server on the 192.168.10.0/24 for your hosts.

3850 wireless config will not save

I have a 3850 switch stack and 1602i Lightweight access points. I setup the APs to join the switch via the DNS entry. When I access the 3850 GUI and go to the wireless controller to change the APs configs such as the names of the APs or their IPs, they change for a while they revert back to what they were within 1 minute.

Photosmart Plus B209a-m | Wireless Config Trouble

For some reason i can not get my printer to connect to my AP, but i was able to connect to the wireless router. Is there any particular reason why? The only difference between the two access points is the fact that the AP does not have DHCP enabled.. but i dont recall it ever being enabled, and it previously was able to make a connection via the AP.

Check to make sure your AP is in bridge mode (DHCP off) and that it is broadcasting the same SSID and security.

Access Connections does not accept Windows Wireless Config

Hi All,
We are rolling out RADIUS/802.1x wireless lan in our enterprise. The wireless settings are deplyed via AD grouo policy - no problems there.
I have an issue when i configure my access connections (ver 5.21) on my T61 machine. I configure AC to use Windows wireless security settings whcih are picked up correctly. The issues occur when i switch from this profile to another profile for exampls and vice versa. AC seems to think that i need to configure my wlan security settings each time i switch to that profile and wont connect. I get an error message:
The SSID 'WM2009' selected for this profile must be configured in windows. Click OK to configure the wireless settings in Windows'.
I know that the wireless settings are fine, as i can connect with the window wireless client fine - its just AC that has the issue.
Any ideas appreciated!

Domain policy wireless profiles are not compatible with Access Connections.
The problem stems that Domain profiles are stored in a different part of the registry than a locally created WZC profile. Since these are part of the domain policy, they cannot be altered locally. Microsoft wouldn't provide Lenovothe encryption used (for obvious security reasons), so the domain policy based profiles can't be manipulated by Access Connections.
But we do provide an ADM template that can be used to do much the same things.

10.5.3 802.1x Wireless Config Export

Good morning. I am new to the Mac and with a lot of googling and Apple Discussion reading I am getting a handle on the Macbook our school has gotten.
We will authenticating these against Active Directory which is working and now I am on to the wireless. Anyway I found a document " Mac OS x 10.4.6 or Later: Joining an 802.1x network at Mac OS x login"
I think this is what I need. I need to have the user authenticate at login so the drive mappings will work when the machine boots up. Currently it doesn't do the wireless attachment till last.
In the document it has the option "Export 802.1x Configuration to Login Window" and I am unable to find where to do that at. We have 10.5.3 and I varies from the document.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie

Howdy,
Hopefully you've worked a way around this by now. I have a similar problem with a client and its stumping us. I believe the equivalent in 10.5 is in the 802.1X profiles under the "Advanced" button then under the "802.1X" button in the network preferences. Specifically I think the System profile is supposed to do this but I could be wrong. There is no documentation that I've found so far.

Hi Brend,
You have mentioned that you have one ssid open and other other as protected..But i'm not able to see relavant config for the same on AP.
Assuming you are using open authetication of Ncc Guest SSID, try applying below config and see if it is connecting?
dot11 ssid Ncc Guest
authentication open
For other SSID you have not mentioned what protection (WPA/WPA2 etc...) you are using and hence not able to guide with the configuration.

You do not need anti-virus software on a Mac. In general anti-malware software just wastes resources, and has been known to slow down a Mac, interfere with normal options, and in some cases panic a Mac.
Mac OS X comes with its own anti-malware features that work rather well.
You have a lot of other 3rd party additions on your Mac, listed under kernel extensions, launch agents, launch daemons, login items, startup items. If you do not need them, you should consider removing them (genieo first and as soon as possible).
Also I would not expect
[failed] com.apple.coreservices.appleid.authentication.plist
to fail, as that is Apple provided. You might consider starting up in Safe Mode and seeing if that still fails (Safe Mode does not start 3rd party additions at boot/login time)
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564>
if Safe Mode EtreCheck does not report it as failed, then this may be an interaction with the other 3rd party additions you are running. If it still fails in safe mode maybe you should do some Google research to see if it is a known issue and if someone else has a fix for it.

Base wireless config - 1811w router

Greetings,
Is there any chance someone could sketch out a basic wireless configuration for a SOHO Cisco 1811W router? I just need the wireless to connect to the base wired LAN - with both WEP and MAC authentication. And - can the MAC auth. parameters be configured via CLI and not have to use either SDM or CP? I can access the router via SDM - but the Wirless Application will not fire up - and CP doesn't work at all.
Thanks for any assistance you can lend.

Hi,
I have been following this discussion and I have exactly the same problem.
Everything is already set. I followed the configuration above and I'm stock at "Why can't the wireless device or the dot11 radio obtain ip from dhcp server?"
Any answer is very much appreciated.

1220B Wireless config for Hotel

All, We are
putting up some gently used 1220B Access points for a hotel. 4 per floor for 7 floors.
Can someone take a look at the config and see if there is any room for improvement? We want it as wide open as possible. Also, is it best to set the AP to use the "Least Congested Frequency" or better to set the channels manually?
Thanks in advance!

Yes. You can configure them individually.

Wpa_actiond & net-auto-wireless config ?

Hi,
as documentation of roaming network configuration is rather sparse I'm looking for an advice here.
How can I set to use my roaming networks info stored in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ? WPA_CONF option from /etc/network.d/interfaces/wlan0 is ignroed and wpa_supplicant is started with an empty configuration. In other words where does net-auto-wireless look for a configuration ?
My wireless card Broadcom BCM4313 requires to be unblocked with rfkill on two devices (phy0 and wireless). May it be done with just netcfg options as RFKILL and RFKILL_NAME is probably parsed only once ? With PRE_UP and POST_DOWN actions ?
Thanks.
David

Touching wpa supplicant configuration isn't needed. You just need to set profiles for all networks you want to connect to in /etc/conf.d/netcfg/ (check examples file in that dir). Then you specify wireless interface in /etc/conf.d/netcfg.
Do not set AUTO_PROFILES var if you want all of the profiles to be probed. And that should do it.
I don't think you need to use PRE and POST vars because net-auto should take care of rfkill automaticaly if it's configured in /etc/network.d/interfaces/wlan0 (I believe you have already done that).

UK ADSL - G5 PowerMac wireless config

I have ADSL via Virgin.net (UK), and my Netgear Modem/Router is now connected to the main telephone socket because the extension socket to which my G5 and printer and my wife's PC are connected, is defective. Not wanting to do a lot of digging around to replace the extension, I now need a wireless connection for my G5/printer/wife's PC to talk to the Router. My MacBook, on which this was written, connects well by Wi-Fi from the room I have the desktops.
Thinking of an ethernet bridge with several ports - any recommendations?
Or Airport (+-extreme). My G5 1.8 Dual is from June 2005, and has a connection on the rear for an external antenna, although I no longer have the antenna. System Profiler shows a listing for an Airport card (although none is fitted, of course). Does this suggest that the G5 is Extreme ready?
Thanks for any advice.
By the way, could Apple please produce an Extreme Base Station with a modem for us ADSL users?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10) MacBook 2.0 CD2

Yes, your G5 is Airport Extreme ready. All you need is to buy an Airport Extreme Card.
I've done the same thing with my Dual 2GHz G5 and it works just fine. I have also experimented with how much of an effect the little external antenna has on signal strength, and have found that it doesn't do a whole lot for me. (Though my apartment isn't very big.)
Here is a link to the card in the UK Apple Store:

Hope this is what you're looking for.
