1 Hi everyone,
2 I've tried to sort this out on the gentoo forum but without success.
3 I want to use Wifi on my laptop and I use wpa_supplicant with atheros card. It works if I choose WEP encryption but I can't get it to work if I choose WPA-PSK.
4 I use wpa_supplicant v0.3.8

6 Here is the output of running 'wpa_supplicant -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi -dd'

135 ***
136 it stops when I hit ctrl-C, otherwise it goes on and on...
137
138 My config file is:
139 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
140 ctrl_interface_group=0
141 eapol_version=1
142 ap_scan=1
143 network={
144 ssid="my_ssid"
145 psk="my psk phrase"
146 }
147
148 Nothing too fancy in the network block. Should I change anything?
149 When I use WEP, the network block is as follows
150 network={
151 ssid="my_ssid"
152 key_mgmt=NONE
153 wep_key0=mywepkey
154 }
155
156 Any help appreciated!

158 Thanks a lot,
