    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    D'oh! It's TKIP instead of TKPI - fixed that, but still having a bit of a problem. Here's the new debug file

    Code:

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    Okay - I've changed the wpa_supplicant.conf to

    Code:
    # Minimal /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to associate with open
    #  access points. Please see 
    #  /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.gz for more complete
    #  configuration parameters.
    
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    ctrl_interface_group=0
    
    eapol_version=1
    ap_scan=2
    fast_reauth=1
    
    ### Associate with any open access point
    ###  Scans/ESSID changes can be done with wpa_cli
    # network={
    #         ssid=""
    #         key_mgmt=NONE
    # }
    
    
    # reading passphrase from stdin
    network={
    	ssid="matthewboh"
    	scan_ssid=1
    	proto=WPA
    	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    #	pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    #	group=CCMP TKIP

    }
    and when I typed in the wpa_supplicant cmd with a redirect to a debug file, got

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    Try playing with the parameter "ap_scan", setting it to 0, 1 and 2 and see if something changes.
    Anyway, what wireless card do you have? It should also be a matter of driver, that is you should change "wext" (in the wpa_supplicant run command) to something else such as hostap, ndiswrapper, etc.

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    Yes, which driver/card are you using, does it support WPA. Is WPA on at the router. etc,etc. Is it the same password.

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    I don't understand -- why is it eth0 if your wireless device is by default eth1?

    I also get "Daemonize.." as the output of "sudo wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i eth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd"

    In the HowTo I supposed the wireless card was eth0, but you have to change this with your device (as I wrote in the HowTo itself).

    As for your output of wpa_supplicant, it's right if you are running it (you have to get "Daemonize..."), while if you want to see a detailed output for debug, just take the "-B" flag out and add "-dd".

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    luca_linux... Thank you very much. I have been fighting with this for a long time and I feel I am now really close. WPA-PSK is linking and my interface (ath0) is receiving an IP address via DHCP. The only problem is the networking drops off from time to time... I opened a terminal window and let it "iwevent" to see what has been happening and here is the result...

    Code:
    onioneater36@dell-c840-linux:~$ iwevent
    Waiting for Wireless Events from interfaces...

    Anyone have any idea how I can correct this problem??? Your guide taught me alot about what is going on and I really appreciate it.

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    Check if you have more then one "wpa_supplicant" running in the system monitor.
    Or more then one "dhclient3"
