doh! I left the mac address filtering enabled on the router - works now I've fixed that up:D...
---------------------------------
Apologies if I missed the fix, I have searched here for quite a while before posting....
Ok here goes.
My setup -
linksys router wrt160n
WPA-Mixed enabled
DSL working, wireless working (can access internet from Eeepc and Mac mini) and wired connection works fine
I want to be able to use WPA - not too keen on WEP, and certainly don't want to use an open network.
My network name is prickly - the other network in the area is from a neighbours setup
ok, so here are my configs and the output of various commands
/etc/networking/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan1
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid prickly
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-proto WPA
wpa-pairwise TKIP
wpa-group TKIP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk <mylonghexstring> - generated using this guide - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318539 - ie. wpa_passphrase <my_essid> <my_preshared_key>
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ap_scan=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="prickly"
scanssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="<my pre shared key>"
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
}
Here's the output from various commands I have seen others run to try to diagnose issues
