Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

Are you using the latest ipw2100 driver from http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net?
If not, try to install it.
You also have to download and install the latest firmware.
You can follow my howto. It should be the same, even if you have ipw2100 and not ipw2200.

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

There's no error from your log.
Are you sure you've set the right key or you're allowed to connect to the access point?

Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

Hi all,

I followed the howto (thank to you Luca).
After a little fight with the old version of the driver, I finally get this after a reboot:

Code:

[domo@Xmas:~ $ dmesg | grep ipw ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.3 ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

But, when I launched the wpa_supplicant, I get this loop

Code:

domo@Xmas:~ $ sudo wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw -w -dd Initializing interface 'eth1' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'ipw' Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Line: 1 - start of a new network block ssid - hexdump_ascii(len=7): 72 61 62 61 6c 69 6e rabalin proto: 0x1 scan_ssid=1 (0x1) key_mgmt: 0x2 PSK - hexdump(len=32): [REMOVED] Priority group 0 id=0 ssid='rabalin' Initializing interface (2) 'eth1' EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state DISCONNECTED EAPOL: KEY_RX entering state NO_KEY_RECEIVE EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state INITIALIZE EAP: EAP entering state DISABLED EAPOL: External notification - portEnabled=0 EAPOL: External notification - portValid=0 wpa_driver_ipw_init is called Own MAC address: 00:0e:35:26:aa:bb wpa_driver_ipw_set_wpa: enabled=1 wpa_driver_ipw_set_key: alg=none key_idx=0 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_ipw_set_key: alg=none key_idx=1 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_ipw_set_key: alg=none key_idx=2 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_ipw_set_key: alg=none key_idx=3 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_ipw_set_countermeasures: enabled=0 wpa_driver_ipw_set_drop_unencrypted: enabled=1 Setting scan request: 0 sec 100000 usec Wireless event: cmd=0x8b06 len=8 RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'eth1' added RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'eth1' added Starting AP scan (specific SSID) Scan SSID - hexdump_ascii(len=7): 72 61 62 61 6c 69 6e rabalin ioctl[SIOCSIWSCAN{,EXT}]: Operation not supported Failed to initiate AP scan.

the strange think is that I set the mode as ad-hoc, and after running wpa_supplicant the mode is unset

Code:

domo@Xmas:~ $ sudo iwconfig eth1 eth1 unassociated ESSID:"rabalin" Nickname:"domo_node" Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Did wpa_supplicant don't support the ad-hoc mode ? or did I miss something ?

Domo, How did you remove the old driver? when I install 1.0.3 I get the following:

I have verified that I updated the firmware..

Darrena, as the INSTALL file say:

Quote:

Whenever you upgrade your driver, you need to make sure that your system
no longer has older versions of the modules in various locations that
could be found by modprobe instead of the new version. If you see
problems about unresolved symbols, chances are good you have an old
module someplace. You can typically find the offending modules via:

% for i in ieee80211 ipw2200; do \
find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -iname ${i}*; done

And then you can go and remove whatever that finds.

So basically, this command display all the file link with your old installation, you have to delete them all.
I don't blame you, I passed more than 1 hours, try to find the info on google instead of reading the INSTALL file :)

I don't understant what mean the second part of the Upgrading section of the INSTALL file:

Quote:

You should also check your kernel's configuration for any old
declarations from old installs:

% for i in IEEE80211 IPW; do \
grep CONFIG_${i} \
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/autoconf.h; done

I don't understand what they means by "check your kernel's configuration". And what else ?
this is what I receive when I enter this command:

Quote:

domo@Xmas:~/data/setup/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.3 $ for i in IEEE80211 IPW; do \
> grep CONFIG_${i} \
> /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/autoconf.h; done
#define CONFIG_IEEE80211_MODULE 1
#undef CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG
#define CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_IEEE80211_WPA_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_IPW2100_MODULE 1

#define CONFIG_IPW2100_FS_AMILO_M7400_MODULE 1
#define CONFIG_IPW2200_MODULE 1
#undef CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG

But I have know clue about what to do with this, so I let it like it was.

This WPA tutorial works like magic for me. Perhaps someone can put it at ubuntulinux.org`s wiki. It will help many people. Thank you very much.

wpa_supplicant isn't currently able to support ad-hoc mode.
