Wpa Vs. 1.1.0beta1

[ant]

Hello,

I got a D-Link DCF-660W manfid 0xd601, 0x0005 and flashed it to the latest 1.84 fw.
Works ok with WEP, but I want WPA-PSK.

Looking here
http://hostap.epitest.fi/cgi-bin/viewcvs.c...README?rev=HEAD

and in the sources I found some modifications are needed after standard installation:

1)
edit /etc/pcmcia/config, /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf, /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf, /etc/pcmcia/spectrum.conf
Your card should be listed only once. The DCF-660W name was misspelled.
Comment out all other cards with the same manfid.

2)
edit /etc/hostap_cs.conf and at the beginning add the missing modules

device "hostap_cs"
   class "hostap" module "hostap", "hostap_cs", “hostap_crypt_wep”
   #class "network" module "hostap", "hostap_cs"

3)
Add MODE="Managed" and WPA="y" to the network scheme in
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts.


4)
Following the webapp_supplicants docs (and loading more modules):

Add the following block to the end of 'start' action handler in

    if [ "$WPA" = "y" -a -x /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant ]; then

   #load crypto modules
   modprobe hostap_crypt_tkip
   modprobe hostap_crypt_ccmp

        /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf \
                -i$DEVICE
   
   fi


Add a separate block for the 'stop' action handler

'stop')

    if [ "$WPA" = "y" -a -x /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant ]; then

   #unload crypto modules
   rmmod hostap_crypt_tkip
   rmmod hostap_crypt_ccmp

        killall wpa_supplicant
    fi

5) edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf



Wit these changes the hostap crypto modules are loaded. GOOD!

What I don't understand is why the webapp_supplicant dies immediatly...
No trace of it in the process list.


Interestingly enough, If I test with another card (a spectrum card) the wpa_supplicant is loaded and running (too bad actually spectrum cards are not working with hostap).


Can somebody help me?


TIA

Ant



P.S. there is a new version of hostap...who dare to compile it?

[ant]

There is a new release 0.47 at http://hostap.epitest.fi.

BUT...the kernel patches start from 2.4.20.
I run an SLC-860 so have 2.4.18....

Think it is worth a rebuild.

Some new findings:

there are DIFFERENT hostap.* modules in

/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/net

and in

/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/net/wireless

Which are newer?


Ant


EDIT:

depmod gives *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/net/hostap.o

Failed to enable WPA in the driver means ...no wpa with this build!
Hope to be wrong...
