Comment (by mmlr):
Please attach a syslog, it might indicate the problem from the driver
side. It is possible that the timeout is simply too short so that in your
case no association/authentication manages to complete.
The "no networks" symptom is expected. Scanning and displaying scan
results is fully passive right now and relies on someone initiating a
scan. The driver does so when it starts up, as does the wpa_supplicant to
look for the desired network. If the wpa_supplicant fails to connect, it
does shut down the driver and clear the scan results. The net_server never
attempts to scan, therefore no networks are then shown anymore.
You can always connect to networks using ifconfig however. Just use
{{{ifconfig <interface> join <networkName>}}} and it should bring up the
wpa_supplicant dialog. Note that due to the missing scan results the
wpa_supplicant cannot know what type of encryption is used (unless the
network has previously been stored) and so will default to "Open" and you
have to change that accrodingly.
To debug this further, please provide the output of the net_server and
wpa_supplicant. To get it you need to start the net_server from a
Terminal. First quit both the wpa_supplicant and net_server via {{{hey
wpa_supplicant quit}}} and {{{hey net_server quit}}} respectively. Then
just run the net_server via {{{/system/servers/net_server}}}. It should
then print its output into that Terminal. Since the net_server also starts
the wpa_supplicant, that one will also print its output to the same
Terminal. Then try to connect to the network using ifconfig as mentioned
above and save and attach the whole output here.
