Just to be sure: this server doesn't have (nor need) wireless interface. root@camelo:/var/log# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 22:60:77:93:3a:1c inet addr:10.0.3.2 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::3a77:33ff:fe93:3a1c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:508681 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:213717 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:56644394 (54.0 MiB) TX bytes:107124530 (102.1 MiB) Interrupt:20 Memory:f7200000-f7220000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:2066703 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2066703 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:95588488 (91.1 MiB) TX bytes:95588488 (91.1 MiB) I prefer uninstall it if so. But I'm having trouble identifying it. What exactly should I uninstall? I need eth0 working (and thats all). Also, is wpa_supplicant really necessary?
