    Smile Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    This howto is awesome!!

    Installed ubuntu fiesty on my thinkpad t41 two days ago in which everything worked sweet except for the wireless connection.

    struggled for hours as I'm using WPA TKIP on my 3com router until stumbled on this. Followed all the tips/options until it worked. Only prob is I have to manually set the route(route add) for my eth1.

    Below are the details. If anybody has a same prob with a t41

    wifi card;
    PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI

    eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"arlevien" Nickname:"ipw2100"

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    my WPA passkey has an exlamation point in it and its causing an error with the wpa_passphrase command, is there anyway around this?

    Nice HOWTO! Worked perfectly for me on Xubuntu 7.04 with an Atheros AR5005G wireless adapter.

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    Hi there,

    I think I tried all the tips and none took me to success... Maybe I am stupid, but I cannot make my WLAN WPA PSK running with Ubuntu 7.04
    With WinXP no problem, this shows the router is ok.

    MAC filter is off.

    Anyone has an idea about the wpa_supplicant output?

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    got the solution by spending some hours trying again everything... and finally the solution was not looking at the ubuntu pages, but at debian...
    http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wp...ntu-linux.html

    This was the best and easiest ubuntu-like solution ever... clear the cfg files and it works

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    If I want to disable and remove wpa supplicant what should I do (besides restoring /etc/network/interfaces and deleting /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf~)?
    Should I delete /etc/wpa_supplicant? I head that it's necessary to leave the dir in place because it's used by a different WPA app-I'm not sure what it is, but it's initialized by these lines in /etc/network/interfaces:
    Code:
    wpa-psk <PSK key>
    wpa-driver wext
    wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
    wpa-proto WPA
    wpa-ssid <SSID>

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    HI! Guys

    Am struggling a lot to configure my Ubuntu 7.10's WIRED ethernet with wpa.
    At work they enabled the IEEE802.1x authentication with PEAP and encryption of MSCHAPv2 with windows domain account.
    Can you help me with this configuration.
    Desprately seeking help


    Thanks

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    Encrypt a wired lan? Think you may have gotten something mixed up here - encryption, asfaik, is for wlans only.

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    ingo, yes we can and should encrypt wired connection. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.1x and alike.

    jon_mark022, I known some people have this kind of setup working. Here's a link about the process for wlan, which should not be really different from a lan setup. You'll have to go step by step: ensure data layer connectivity up to authentication to the domain.
