Comment # 10 on bug 916042 from Fabrice LEMAISTRE

hi,

the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
was kind of empty at 1st : 

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

i then added some more data from examples found on the web :

 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
  ctrl_interface_group=wheel
  eapol_version=1
  ap_scan=1
  fast_reauth=1

  network={
        ssid="your_essid"
        proto=WPA RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-EAP
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP
        psk=your_64_hex_characters_long_key
  }


and then filled it with 
wpa_passphrase <ESSID> <passphrase> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 

(which replaced the previous actions).



i followed the tips from here
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:WiFi#How-to_connect_to_WiFi_without_the_NetworkManager

it asks to stop all wpa_supplicant related activity before starting a new one.

i'll be available on the irc asap

thank you ;)
