Cannot open "/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf": No such file or directory

[guru]

When I try to enable the wifi it is throwing

Cannot open "/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf": No such file or
directory

below is the logs for the same.

D/WifiVdr ( 1023): leave from insmod
D/WifiVdr ( 1023): leave from wlan_load_driver
D/WifiHW ( 1023): call wlan_load_driver, return ok
E/WifiHW ( 1023): Cannot open "/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf":
No such file or directory
E/WifiHW ( 1023): Wi-Fi will not be enabled
D/WifiVdr ( 1023): enter into wlan_unload_driver
D/WifiVdr ( 1023): enter into check_driver_loaded
D/WifiVdr ( 1023): enter into rmmod

Please let me know what is the problem?

Did you copy a wpa_supplicant.conf file into the system/etc directory
during Android build? If not..THAT is the problem..

Hi Ashwin,

Who will copy that file during build time? Sorry may be this is basic
question!
Whether I have to enable any flag to make it happen !

Thanks
Guru

Hi,guru
Which version did you use? Last week I got the same problem
and after replacing external/wpa_supplicant with donut version,I can
now use the wifi~

Hi Ashwin,

whether I have to modify BoardConfig.mk and AndroidBoard.mk which are
in

./vendor/<vendor_name>/BoardConfig.mk
./vendor/<vendor_name>/AndroidBoard.mk

is it right?

Currently in AndroidBoard.mk nothing is there
and

in BoardConfig.mk

# config.mk
#
# Product-specific compile-time definitions.
#

# The generic product target doesn't have any hardware-specific
pieces.
TARGET_NO_BOOTLOADER := true
TARGET_NO_KERNEL := true
TARGET_CPU_ABI := armeabi
HAVE_HTC_AUDIO_DRIVER := false
BOARD_USES_GENERIC_AUDIO := false

# Enable MM PXA hardware
TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM := pxa
TARGET_BOARD := BSW

# Tavor PV MVED hardware support
IPP_MVED := true
#Hardware Platfrom definiton
TARGET_BOOTLOADER_BOARD_NAME := BSW

Whether I need to modify these files?

Thanks

Hi Ashwin,

Now it is creating wpa_supplicant.conf.

I forgot to add driver specific details in external/wpa_supplicant/
Android.mk

after adding this the file is copying to that location.

Next I am not getting how to provide proper wpa_supplicant.conf for my
device.
it is now throwing

E/wpa_supplicant( 1340): Failed to initialize control interface
'wlan0'.

previously it was working for

ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/misc/wifi/sockets/server GROUP=wifi

now it is showing ctrl_interface=wlan0

How to make this changes? will this will done during build time or we
have to do manually?

Thanks
Guru
