Success With Wpa-psk On 3.5.4

[spectral]

Just wish to inform everyone that I have succeeded with WPA-PSK
on 3.5.4. I earlier reported (and perhaps its the same issue reported by some
of the others) that I was getting "no WPA/RSN len" error.

The problem was because OZ feed was still using wpa_supplicant 0.2.6 which
is not compatible with the hostap version in use (version 0.3.9 before upgrade
and 0.4.7 after upgrade). I recompiled wpa_supplicant 0.4.8 which was released
together with hostap 0.4.7, on my own and WPA-PSK works fine for me now.

good to know - but for future please post such things also to openzaurus-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or add into OE bugtracker

Great! I was just installing the SDK to build wpa_supplicant  Could you post the ipk?

Thanks.

[Hrw]

ipkg update;ipkg upgrade and you will get OZ official one.

[enodr]

I am still having troubles:

ipkg update; ipkg upgrade won't upgrade because the current installed package is called wpa-supplicant-nossl

Solution is:
ipkg remove wpa-supplicant-nossl -force-depends
ipkg install wpa-supplicant

But then when I run:
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

I get the following error when it tries to connect to my network:
wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=2 key_idx=0 set_tx=1 seq_len=6 key_len=32
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
Driver did not support SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
WPA: Failed to set PTK -> GROUP_HANDSHAKE

thx for notice - will add conflict/replace for it

BTW - can you write HowTo about OZ 3.5.4x and WPA?

[ant]

thx for this suggestions! It's obvious but ... invisible!

BTW I see strange things : my wireless card D-Link DCF-660W is seen as eth0 as well as wlan0.

EDIT
cannot connect with:
wpa_supplicant -w -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -iwlan0 -dd

There is probably a bug involving /etc/network/interfaces

I was editing the post while you were replying  Maybe Spectral can give feedback... I noticed wpa_supplicant is not compiled with hostap support but just generic wireless extensions. Dunno if that matters...

I'll be happy to post a WPA howto on OpenZaurus.org and OESF.org as soon as it works!

The wpa_supplicant that I compiled was using the default defconfig
that came with the source, so hostap and wext is enabled.

I tried the updated wpa_supplicant from OZ feed and although
it didnt support "-Dhostap", specifying wext works fine for me.
So I am not sure if hostap support is the problem here coz
both "-Dhostap" and "-Dwext" works for me.

I am using a SMC2642 card (prism) which I had flashed
with updated firmware (NIC:1.0.0, PRI:1.1.1, STA:1.8.2).

Could you check if your Wifi card has the supported
firmware (STA>=1.7.0, if I remember correctly)?

Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf if its of any help
(I suggest your specify only TKIP and nothing-else):

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1

network={
   ssid="Your SSID"
   scan_ssid=1
   proto=WPA
   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
   pairwise=TKIP
   group=TKIP
   psk="Your PSK"
   priority=0
}

This is not enough...
I stumble in the same error as enodr reported:
...
wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=2 key_idx=0 set_tx=1 seq_len=6 key_len=32
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
Driver did not support SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
WPA: Failed to set PTK -> GROUP_HANDSHAKE
...

Hrw, please recompile wpa_supplicant with ALL drivers (hostap, wext, ...).

TIA

I use the same wpa_supplicant.conf file.

My card is Planex GW-CF11X
Firmware version: NIC 1.0.0 PRI: 1.1.2 STA: 1.8.4

I just found a funny error in dmesg, maybe the clue to the problem:
ieee80211_crypt_tkip: could not allocate crypto API michael_mic

I have to find Michael_mic now!!

[enodr]

Yeah!

Michael_mic was in the kernel module feed for OZ3.5.4.1alpha2 (it's a crypto module)

I can now enjoy safe wifi surfing!!

Hrw: do you think I should write an howto, as I guess thing will change with next release (list of default module?). All the ieee80211 modules + rc4 + michael_mic should be in the default hdimage.

This is perculiar coz I never had that MIC problem.
I dont even had ieee80211_crypt _tkip loaded, instead
I see hostap_crypt_tkip loaded.....
