Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have to start using WPA-PSK, to replace my plain old WEP :) because |
4 |
we've migrated at work. |
5 |
|
6 |
I use wpa_supplicant via /etc/conf.d/net; net.wlan0 is symlinked to |
7 |
net.lo; but the interface never comes up. |
8 |
|
9 |
wpa_supplicant.conf reads: |
10 |
|
11 |
network={ |
12 |
ssid="Xxxx" |
13 |
scan_ssid=1 |
14 |
mode=0 |
15 |
proto=WPA |
16 |
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK |
17 |
auth_alg=OPEN |
18 |
psk="xXxXxXx" |
19 |
} |
20 |
|
21 |
(of course the X's are real values, which I copied straight from a BSD |
22 |
user's wpa_supplicant.conf file) |
23 |
|
24 |
and conf.d/net reads |
25 |
|
26 |
modules=( "ifconfig" ) |
27 |
config_eth0=( "172.16.0.52/24" |
28 |
"10.1.0.52/8" ) |
29 |
routes_eth0=( "default via 172.16.0.4" ) |
30 |
metric="100" |
31 |
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) |
32 |
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dndiswrapper" |
33 |
wpa_timeout_wlan0=60 |
34 |
|
35 |
when I run `/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start` /var/log/messages shows: |
36 |
|

I can connect perfectly using ndiswrapper, WEP, and not wpa_supplicant |
47 |
from home. I can't connect using ndiswrapper with WEP via |
48 |
wpa_supplicant at home. |
49 |
|
50 |
On the command line I see: |
51 |
$ sudo /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
52 |
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] |
53 |
* Starting wlan0 |
54 |
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ] |
55 |
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ] |
56 |
* Backgrounding ... |
57 |
$ |
58 |
|
59 |
but then nothing happens, ever, to wlan0... |
60 |
|
61 |
can someone give me some pointers here? google wasn't much help, nor |
62 |
the wpa_supplicant website. Yet _without_ wpa_supplicant, I can connect |
63 |
fine, so I know the card and ndiswrapper are working! |
64 |
|
65 |
TIA, |
66 |
