[Q] Location of wpa_supplicant.conf on I9000 roms

[jbrechtel]

Hi guys,

I've got a customer who is having a problem on my app which has to read wpa_supplicant.conf. Normally this file is located at /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and requires root to read.

Anyways, according to the errors he's getting and based on his own exploration, his wpa_supplicant.conf file is not located there. I'm not sure which ROM he has (am waiting for a reply to that question now), but does anyone know if this file is normally located in /data/misc/wifi ?

Thanks,
James

Its not there on Darky 7.0 based on latest JPY firmware.
Search in progress ;]
/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
and symlink
/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Thanks for the tip. On my customer's phone that file is just a template and not actually storing networks. I'll poke around in that ROM though. Thanks again.

Looking at /system/etc/wifi/wifi.conf on Darky 7.0 I see the following

FIRMWARE_LOADER=wlan_loader
DRIVER_PROP_NAME=wlan.driver.status
SUPPLICANT_NAME=wpa_supplicant
SUPP_PROP_NAME=init.svc.wpa_supplicant
MODULE_FILE=/proc/modules
IFACE_DIR=/data/misc/wifi
DRIVER_MODULE_NAME=dhd
DRIVER_MODULE_TAG=dhd 
FIRMWARE_LOADER=
[b]SUPP_CONFIG_TEMPLATE=/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf[/b]
SUPP_CONFIG_FILE=/data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
DRIVER_MODULE_PATH=/lib/modules/dhd.ko
MFGDRV_MODULE_ARG=firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcm4329_mfg.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_mfg.txt
DRV_AP_MODULE_ARG=firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcm4329_aps.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt dhd_watchdog_ms=200 dhd_poll=1
DRIVER_MODULE_ARG=firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcm4329_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt dhd_watchdog_ms=10 dhd_poll=1
DRIVER_APS_FIRMWARE_NAME=bcm4329_aps.bin
DRIVER_STA_FIRMWARE_NAME=bcm4329_sta.bin
INTERFACENAME=eth0
WAPI_SUPPORT=false
[b]SUPP_CONF_FILEPATH=/data/misc/wifi/[/b]
SUPP_WAPI_AS_CERT_FILE_PATH=/data/misc/wifi/cert/as/
SUPP_WAPI_USER_CERT_FILE_PATH=/data/misc/wifi/cert/user/
SUPPLICANT_STATUS=wlan.supplicant.status

This tells me I would expect the conf file to be in /data/misc/wifi and the template to be in /system/etc/wifi.

Argh, this is very frustrating.

SUPP_CONFIG_TEMPLATE=/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

is what you are after.

Sweetlime, would you mind elaborating?

Do you see your networks in that file on your device?

On every device and ROM that I've been able to inspect that file is just the template and contains no specific network information.

Sorry I am an idiot I copied the wrong line, that should have read:

SUPP_CONFIG_FILE=/data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
