Wpa supplicant can't get it to work on boot(netcfg) [solved]

As the title using Ralink RT2870 chipset with rt2870sta module.
rc.conf
NETWORKS=(wpa_suppl)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs crond hal fam @vmware @sensors @cups network_profiles)
All other networking bits commented out.

On boot it doesn't connect but running netcfg wpa_suppl it works fine. I'm not sure if it is related but in my boot messages I get
/etc/rc.d/functions: line 192: /etc/rc.d/network_profiles: No such file or directory
Which is correct is this related have I missed something in the tuts. Its just I didn't see any mention of this part and was under the impression network.d was the correct place. Line 192 seems to be looping through the daemons so I'm not sure what is triggering this.
Can any one point me in the correct direction as to why it is working manually but not on boot?

The daemon is called "net-profiles", not "network_profiles".

How can I get MagicTrackpad to work with Boot Camp and Windows Vista?

Just installed Lion and then installed Magic Trackpad. Now I need to know how to get the Magic Tackpad to work with Windows Vista in my Boot Camp partition. Windows Bluetooth recognizes the Magic Trackpad but it says the device won't confirm the passkey. No passkey came with the Magic Trackpad and the option to not use a passkey still doesn't achieve connection with Windows. Suggestions/ comments, please.
TIA,
Picman

UPDATE
Just completed several lengthy sessions with Apple Tech Support (escalated to excellent Sr. Advisor). Bottom line is that there seems to be no answer to the problem of the Magic Trackpad not being able to maintain its pairing/connection with Windows (Vista in my case) or OS X (10.7 in my case) when switching Boot Camp partitions. In fact, when trying to re-pair it is necessary to remove the MTP batteries first. To pair at all with Windows requires the use of the Bluetooth passkey "0000" (not provided in MTP documentation). This achieves limited MTP/Windows functionality (cursor and "click" control only - with BC 3.1. BC 3.2 is supposed to provide more gestures, but I have not gotten there yet). Appears that when switching back to OS X, that passkey has remained with the MTP and is not what OS X is looking for, so it fails the connection. Removing/replacing the batteries probably dumps the passkey and allows the OS X connection. The Sr. Advisor says he sees this issue often (including with Windows 7) in their internal chat rooms, but no solution. He will be referring it to the engineers and will let me know the outcome. Meantime, assuming I keep the MTP, I'll have to resign myself to using a wired mouse when going to Windows (not a huge inconvenience, since it's only for Quicken; but the issue is worse than "in-elegant" for Apple!
I am satisfied that I have obtained the best possible help from Apple on this issue. If anybody has more, please reply.
Thanks,
picman

Cisco 1812 wireles setup, can't get it to work

Hello everyone,
I've read trough the "871 wireless setup" topic, which I found very helpful, but I still can't get my wireless working. Basically I have a Cisco 1812W and I would like both wireless and wired to be on the same subnet. We aren't using DHCP, so the IP's are all static (even for the wireless clients). I can connect to my wireless SSID, but ping doesn't go trough either way. Wired connections are working fine. So the wireless client is connected, but has no IP address as far as the router goes (show Dot11 associations shows it's IP as 0.0.0.0) , but the wireless client does have an IP set up.
I guess I'm overlooking something in my config, so here it is (i took out the firewall rules and aaa setup, they aren't relevant if i'm not mistaken and there's a limit to post size):

Okay, I've somewhat figured it out. Apparently my WPA-PSK configuration doesn't work with the integrated Broadcom adapter found in the laptop I was testing it with.
Either that or my WPA-PSK configuration is broken.
I switched over to an open network with no encrpytion and everything works now.

Can't get netcfg2 to work

hey guys, I can't get netcfg2 to work on my machine... really annoying upgrade check this:
[network.d]% diff examples/wpa.example home
1,2c1,2
< CONNECTION="wireless"
< INTERFACE=wlan0
> CONNECTION="home"
> INTERFACE=eth1
5,6c5,6
< ESSID="mynetwork"
< KEY="SomePasskey"
> ESSID="Lebowski"
> KEY="foobar"
[network.d]% sudo netcfg2 home
> home is not a valid connection, check spelling or look at examples
Any ideas? Also, why do I have to specify CONNECTION="foo"? the filename is enough to get the name, no?

I can't get work netcfg2...
if I run
iwconfig wlan0 essid SpeedTouch5F3851 enc open s:LesPiTTareL
it works great, I can connect to my wireless network but...
if I configure my /etc/network.d/celadina in this way:
CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION="Connessione wireless casa Bergamo"
INTERFACE=wlan0
ESSID=SpeedTouch5F3851
KEY=LesPiTTareL
SECURITY=wep
IP="static"
IFOPTS="192.168.1.70 netmask 255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
and running
netcfg2 celadina
I get this error message
:: celadina up - Could not set wireless configuration [FAIL]
[root@Arials skioppetto]# "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
I think the error is in SECURITY but I can0t find a solution... I've tried also with IWOPTS and if I don't
define SECURITY it doesn't give any errors but it can't connect becouse key remains off
I use rt61 wireless module; when I connect trough the first way I don't get any wep modules loaded even if it works...
I think the problem could be the kernel module.
What do you think about?

HT1695 My iPad shows it is connected to the Internet wherever there is free wifi but it is getting up and I can't get it to work? I tried rebooting but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

My iPad shows it is connected to the Internet wherever there is free wifi but it is getting up and I can't get it to work? I tried rebooting but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage.
I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
How can i get this to work. I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?

The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here
