1 I've been using wpa_supplicant to connect to my Gentoo router, and I'm
2 wondering if I can use wireless-tools instead. I have the following
3 /etc/conf.d/net:
4
5 config_ath0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
6 routes_ath0="default via 192.168.0.1"
7 essid_ath0="mynetwork"
8 channel_ath0="11"
9 iwpriv_ath0=( "wpa 1" )
10 key_mynetwork="s:mykey"
11
12 /etc/init.d/net.ath0 returns no errors, has all the right output, and
13 my PCMCIA card's LEDs are blinking like they are connected, but I
14 can't ping the router. I get "Destination Host Unreachable". If I
15 switch back to wpa_supplicant it works perfectly. I did notice,
16 however, that intentionally submitting the wrong password with
17 wireless-tools has the same effect.
18
19 Can anyone help?
