MY GOD!!! No wonder so few people are using Linux!
This is ridiculous! I've been trying for days to get my wireless network running with WEP and it won't work. Runs fine with no encryption but no connection if I enable WEP. Someone referred me to this thread which is a real laugh. Imagine having to write all that code to get it going and to figure out that it's not working because you missed a space or put a coma in the wrong place. Guess I'll just run the unprotected connection and hope for the best - or maybe go back to Windows. ;)
Yes, yes, I know, WEP doesn't afford much protection, but it's better than nothing, so....
Just wanted to thank you for this. I really think it's worth the small effort.
Incidentally, theblueray, if you don't want to miss a space or a coma (and save time and efforts), you can use copy+paste (just like in Windows).
I too am having problems. I've read the thread and it feels like I'm close, but no cigar so far! The WLAN nic is an Intel 3945 which seems to be seeing the AP when using the wext driver (first I tried ipw3945 which didn't work at all).
Here are the two scripts:
/etc/network/interfaces
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid my_ssid
pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i eth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="my_ssid"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=**HEX SSID PSK HERE**
}
I have tried altering the ap_scan parameter to no effect. Below is the output I'm getting:
wpa_supplicant:

Any help you could offer would be very gratefully received - I'm a new Linux convert and could really do with some wireless networking so I can stop using XP!! :D
Thanks.
I use a wpa-SPK wifi connection in my university and i have the same problem . I had followed many tutorials and links on the internet but havn't found yet the solution for the problem of connexion / deconnexion and this damn : access point/cell adress not associated
Just a minute after the previous post , And i don't really know exactly how but the connexion on my laptop is working again ( im writing this post on it).
So i ll post my /etc/networks/interface , and the last things i have done , perhaps that will help :
and then i typed in the terminal : sudo ifup eth1Code:
auto eth1
wireless-essid ecole2007
wpa-proto WPA
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid ecole2007
wpa-psk 84a4541e8458fa5a2c55erhdaadgt9d93823ebc62ecba40da2d9b5201d930cea1

iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.193
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
Wich was the same damn output meaning no permanent connexion .I finally typed in the terminal :Code:16:40:44.476515 eth1 Set ESSID:"ecole2007"
16:40:47.524171 eth1 New Access Point/Cell address:Not-Associated

16:42:04.378317 eth1 New Access Point/Cell address:Not-Associated
finally typed in the terminal
And then the iwevent stopped and the connexion was finnaly established , but i don't really know if the last command i typed resolved the problem or it is simply by chance .Im now effrayed that if i shutdown my pc i l not be enabled to get reconnected :(Code:$ iwlist eth1 scan ;sleep 2
here is my first attempt at getting wpa_supplicant working. Everytime I try using network-manager my computer crashed so I'm trying to get wpa_supplicant working. If you scroll down to the end I think I'm most sucessful there. I tried most of the hints on the post about removing RSN and changing the ap number from 0 to 1 etc. Anybody know how i can get this to work?
colin@multiX:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

here i tried specifying ndiswrapper

here I started changing some of the settings suggested from 0 to 1 etc.

finally i changed some more settings inside wpa_supplicant.conf and now it associates but has that key replay counter message

This thread is great. However, I am trying to setup a WPA2 connection using an internal Cisco WLAN + ACS connection. It woks fine with WIN***, but I can't get connected with Linux.
I have a Cisco B/G card (using the Atheros chipset = 'madwifi' driver)
My wpa_supplicant.conf file contains:
ssid="ap1"
auth_alg=OPEN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
proto=WPA2
eap=PEAP
identity="[username]"
password="[password]"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
scan_ssid=1
I am not able to connect. Anyone have any suggestions for using WPA2 with EAP/PEAP? Basically, the problem is that i am not able to associate with the AP. The AP is able to see my connection attempt for about 1 second, then shows no connections.
**********************************************
Answering my own question (for anyone else who might be interested).
Looks like the madwifi driver (and probably wext also) doesn't support WPA2. Time to try ndiswrapper?
I wouldn't even bother with Gnome-Network-Manager, it seems only to work for the few privileged . Ive spent 40 hrs plus and got nowhere. I ended up giving Wicd a try (ver 1.3.1), and HEY BINGO !!!! WPA Encryption works everytime. And for a newbie (GUI Girlie) like me, it was easy as hell.
The guy who wrote the software has made a great piece of kit, can (X)buntu get this into the repos as standard, Id even be happy to write a howto for it as well.
I would like to second that. Network Manager (Fiesty) does not detect my Intel 2915ABG wireless (Dell 630M laptop). I did get it working by setting up wpa supplicant and the etc/network/interfaces file, but it was coded only for my home network so roaming was a challenge!Quote:

A great piece of work.
