Hello Guys.

I'm trying to configure my wireless connection on my server but something weird is happening.
I have two cards on my server, one wired and another one wireless.
After set up all the setting of wpa_supplicant and execute the commands to connect, the wlan0 network get IP and connected on my AP.
But, when I log into my AP and ask to list all attached devices, I see the wlan0 card connected with the same MAC Address from the wired card. And if I unplug the network cabe from eth0, both connections goes down.

I will sent the steps that I followed with my configuration files to see if you can help me, please.

root@server:~# ifconfig

Follow the steps:

ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
ifconfig
ps aux | grep [w]pa
iwconfig wlan0
dhclient wlan0

root@server:~# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="AP-NOVO"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#psk="H3l0m0t0"
psk=11b00480d2b7b625fe893385ff627f55780afb3348f91a 6685d9b5000c1fa0f9
}
root@server:~#

root@server:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

#wireless
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp


Follow the output of the attached devices from router:

3 192.168.1.9 SERVER 00:08:54:21:27:1F
4 192.168.1.10 SERVER 00:08:54:21:27:1F

if you can see, the MAC is the same of the eth0.

What is wrong? I want to use only the wireless card..is it possible, right?

I'm running ubutu 12.04.

Thanks in advanced by any help.
