The output of |

on my laptop shows continuous output to screen which appears to be |

looping on association and disassociation to my wireless router (I am |
10 |
not posting this long list here). The corresponding effect is this |

-> ping yahoo.com |

I have never setup wireless networking and have been reading the web and |
50 |
other information on how to use wpa_supplicant to connect to my home |
51 |
router. I would appreciate help on this. I emerged wpa_supplicant with |
52 |
the following USE flags: |
53 |
|
54 |

[ Searching for packages matching wpa_supplicant... ] |
56 |

57 |
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] |
58 |
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] |
59 |
