Wpa_supplicant – An Utter Failure, For Some Reason

Hello listmates,

I feel a little embarrassed but I can not get through this one and any help will be much appreciated.

I have a Broadcom WiFi adapter in a 64-bit CentOS 6.5 laptop. Trying to get it connect automatically – and it just would not – no error messages, nothing. With the same config NetworkManager connects without a hitch,

I have to compile the wl module out of an SRPM – but after that it seemed to work fine under the NetworkManager but not automatically, via wpa_supplicant.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice. The WiFi security is WPA.

Cheers,

Boris.
