Hello everybody, I'm trying to configure the roaming mode for wpasupplicant but I don't seem to get it right.
After boot:
$ /sbin/wpa_cli # my user is in 'netdev' group
wpa_cli v0.6.3

Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying
(I have to interrupt it with Ctrl-c)
$ ps aux | grep wpa

'homewlan' is my D-Link router and as far as I can read the log the
connection is ok, but
$ /sbin/ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0e:35:b3:f8:ed inet6 addr:
fe80::20e:35ff:feb3:f8ed/64 Scope:Link

If I 'ifdown/ifup' my adapter it will eventually reconnect to my router
(after trying all networks in the neighbourhood, though I set a high
priority for it) and also make the proper settings according to my
/etc/network/interfaces
Here are my configs. I hope you can spot some error because I'm banging
my head against the wall for almost a week now.
