    You have to install the package build_essential as specified in the HowTo.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    No, it's not included since this is basically a desktop-oriented distro.
    Anyway, I was referring to MY HowTo, the HowTo of this thread.
    At the top, in the first part of it, it's explained that you need some packages, such as build-essential, gcc, linux-headers, etc.

    Well on a desktop you some times need to install drivers, so make is needed.

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    After you start wpa_supplicant

    You can enter the wpa command line interface as such:
    Code:
    sudo wpa_cli
    In that mode you can see the status of the wpa connection as it tries to authenticate with the AP

    From there you can enter commands such as
    Code:
    status
    To see information about the connection

    or

    Code:
    help
    to get a list of other information

    It was a really helpful too when getting my connection to work

    Re: HOWTO: ipw2200 + wpa

    I apologize if this was covered in other posts. On WPA networks that do not broadcast an SSID is it possible to still use the method explained in this howto? My wpa_cli status says:

    bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00
    pairwise_cipher=UNKNOWN
    group_cipher=UNKNOWN
    key_mgmnt=UNKNOWN
    wpa_state=SCANNING
    Supplicant PAE state=DISCONNECTED
    suppPortStatus=Unauthorized
    EAP state=DISABLED

    I installed Ubuntu today as someone dropped a boxful of disks off at my workplace. Previously I was using ndiswrapper. this is a little different.

    Wow. Thanks so much for this. Ever since I installed Hoary I was getting a Fatal Error message, and then I upgraded to the latest ipw drivers with another tutorial and it didn't solve the problem. I followed your tutorial and I didn't get one single error message, so, once again, thanks a lot.

    in your wpa_supplicant.conf
    make sure you have your ssid set

    Code:
    network={
            ...other stuff...
            ssid="MYSSID"    # Change to your ssid
    	...other stuff...
    }
    if that does not work you can try

    Code:
    sudo iwconfig eth1 essid myssid
    to set your ssid

    where eth1 is your wireless device
    and where myssid is your ssid

    Yeah, just add to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
    Code:
    scan_ssid=1
    As already suggested in the HowTo.
    That does the trick.
