The particular problem is experienced on raspberry pi with wi-fi adapter on Realtek 8188 chipset. The syslog shows the following lines: wpa_supplicant[1118]: nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found raspbmc wpa_supplicant[1118]: Failed to initialize driver 'nl80211' raspbmc wpa_supplicant[1118]: rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device I have tired to modify /etc/wpa_suppicant/functions.sh and remove nl80211 completely from code and leave only wext driver but that does not work. Would appreciate any ideas what the problem could be. OS version: raspbian 3.12.21 WPA supplicant version: 1.0-3 Thank you for the support. Sergei.
