Hey, please do point out the 'obvious' because, it's obviously not working and I obviously don't know what to do! *laughs* I tried it again from the instructions on Jeff Rasmussen's site http://jeffrasmussen.wordpress.com/2006/05/13/ubuntu-wpa-goodness/ and the same issue occurred. I opened up /etc/network/interfaces and found this; # Wireless... (this section may or may not already exist) allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp iface eth1 inet dhcp auto eth0 auto eth1 Which I changed to this: # Wireless... (this section may or may not already exist) allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp # iface eth1 inet dhcp auto eth0 # auto eth1 However ifconfig still only shows lo and eth0 as active. Hope that gives enough data to make the problem more understandable. If it's still an outstanding issue I'll bring the laptop into the installfest in a couple weeks. -jordan On 5/25/06, Andrew Zbikowski <andyzib at gmail.com> wrote: > > And got the same: > > Failed to read read or parse configuration > > '/home/user/Desktop/wpa_supplicant.conf'. > > > Not to point out the obvious, but have you checked > /home/user/Desktop/wpa_supplicant.conf for errors or checked > permissions on the file?
