I have configured my poodle with OPIE and a SanDisk ConnectPlus to use wpa_supplicant to connect to my WPA-Enterprise network. First, I updated wpa-supplicant,hostap-modules, and hostap-modules-cs. Then, I put the following stanza in /etc/network/interfaces:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa-driver hostap
Note the problem I'm going to describe doesn't seem to be affected by the choice of wpa_supplicant driver--either 'hostap' or 'wext' makes it act the same. Putting the card in the machine makes it blink rapidly (loading firmware) and then blink slowly. It is supposed to go solid when associated but this never happens. Running wpa_supplicant manually, or running 'ifup wlan0', gets the following output:
root@poodle:/etc/network# wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -dd

State: ASSOCIATING -> ASSOCIATING
The block in between "State: SCANNING->ASSOCIATING" and "State: ASSOCIATING->ASSOCIATING" repeats until you stop it. It seems to never be able to associate with the network. There isn't anything wrong with the network AFAIK, our two ThinkPad Linux laptops (ipw2200), my Nokia 770, and a Windows XP machine all connect fine. The wpa_supplicant.conf on the Z is as follows:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
eapol_version=1
network={
ssid="oakcourt"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
phase2="auth=MSCHAPv2"
identity="andrew"
password="[removed]"
}
