Good luck (and it would be nice if you could outline what you did to get it working if you do, in fact, get it working -- I know I and others would benefit).

Hi All,
FInally after a few weeks of p**sing around, I've finally got WPA working on my C3100 +Ambicom WL1100C-CF setup running pdaXii13.
Steps finally sorted to get it running :
1. Install hostap_diag (0.4.7) (useful for checking firmware rev on card)
2. Ambicom card upgraded to 1.8.0 secondary firmware. Primary was already 1.1.1)
3. Install wpa_supplicant (0.4.7)
4. Install hostap_driver (0.4.7)
5. Edit your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file as required
Taken from a previous post :
cp /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.bak
# just to backup your old file.
sudo wpa_passphrase your_ssid your_password > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# this generates a new file with the minimum-settings. In addtion your password is not written in clear-text which increases security.
more /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# should result in
network={
ssid="your_ssid"
psk="your decrypted password in hex-code"
}
This worked for me, and also I added details for our 'eduroam' service which uses radius authentication, so is a little more complex, but still works fine.
6. Start up the Lan and Wifi config and create a new profile for your SSID
7. Edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts and add
WPA="y"
into the relevant section for your ssid.
8. Test it with following commands :
cardctl scheme "your_ssid"
cardctl eject
cardctl insert
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D hostap -i wlan0 -B
dhcpcd wlan0
If all is OK, you should connect and now have an IP address and access over the WPA wireless link.
Then you just need to write a script to connect automatically, see JohnX script at

for a starting point, although he uses udhcpd instead.
Don't think I've missed anything out, but hope this helps,
Cheers,
