Re: [gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant annoyances (mask_service_inactive)

Hi again.

This is just a desktop that's on a remote corner. Some months ago I
decided to clean a bit and take off some wires, and I am using an usb
wifi dongle to connect it to my lan, just because that's what I had at
hand at the moment, lying in some drawer.

Thank you, it's exactly my problem. Poor wpa_supplicant, it seems it's
not guilty after all. :P

Well, thank you a ton. I can go from here myself. :)
