@jimisdead:
You card does not seem to support WPA2. Please try WPA1 (WPA, TKIP) instead. That might do.ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
It's a netgear WG111 54Mbps USB dongle. plugged into an old compaq evo laptop running fully updated gutsy.
I've tried the wext and the madwifi driver, neither has worked.
Recently upgraded to Gutsy. I have a Linksys card, RT2500 chipset. My previous /etc/network/interfaces could not be used to authenticate myself using this type of scheme:
I tried using Ubuntu's network manager which now has a choice to pick WPA1/2 encryption. After doing that, it wrote something different to the /etc/network/interfaces file. It uses the 'wext' driver for instance, and it writes an encrypted WPA password to the file.Code:iface ra0 inet dhcp pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "networkname" pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="unencryptedpw" pre-up ifconfig ra0 up auto ra0
After executing `sudo ifup ra0`, I got a few errors ([SIOCSAUTH]: Operation not supported or something like that), but the internet connection was established. After adding `auto ra0` to the file, it even fails to establish a connection during startup. And I think it is because of those errors.
I am going to reinstall Gutsy tonight, perhaps something else was corrupted or the like.
Anyone else had the same thing? I am sorry I cannot post any real samples of the files yet (at work at this moment).

Hi,
Just thought it might be helpful to post my experience with setting this up.
I've got an Acer Aspire 5630 laptop and have managed to get the wireless working to my d-com router using WPA2 with the following configuration:
Then after restarting the networking this worked great. Thanks for a great OS and a great forum.Code:root@our-laptop:/etc/network# cat interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid <your-ssid> wpa-ap-scan 1 wpa-proto RSN wpa-pairwise TKIP wpa-group TKIP wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK wpa-psk <get this using the wpa_passphrase utility> #auto eth0
