Title: Missing Module Wpa / Wep With Oz 3.5.4.1alpha1/2?
Post by: enodr on April 12, 2006, 04:32:48 pm

It seems OZ3.5.4.1Alpha2 is missing some modules to have WEP / WPA work correctly:

For WEP, trying iwconfig wlan0 key myhexkey gives the following error:

Code: [Select]

Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A):
SET failed on device wlan0; Operation not supported
dmesg tells me: wlan0: could not initialize WEP: load module hostap_crypt_wep.o
So that must be the reason. Now let's find out where is this module...

For WPA, running wpa_supplicant gives:

Code: [Select]

skip - no WPA/RSN IEwhen selecting my AP...

I see those files in the feed, but I don't know what they are used for (WEP support is supposed to be in the hostap module?)

I've run into this too. Did you post a bug report enodr?

Looks like it's this bug (http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=840). Seems that kernel-module-arc4-2.6 needs to be installed...

Solution is posted in another thread in this forum. Basically you need latest wpa_supplicant package from upgrade feed, then install all the necessary modules from your machine kernel feed:
ieee802*
rc4 (crypto module)
michael-mic (crypto module)

A very handy script has also been posted in the other thread for easy startup of wpa.

Any idea what the thread is? I did a search for hostap_crypt_wep and that gave nothing much newer than 2004.

Thanks. I tried installing all the modules mentioned and I still get the error about not being able to find hostap_crypt_wep.o The following are the relevant modules I have installed. I don't need WPA, just WEP, any other ideas?
