Wpa Woes?

[kellyharding]

I successfully upgraded to the latest test of hentges rom on my SL-5500.

all seems fine with that.

But I can't seem to get my socket LP wifi CF card to connect.

I've set up /etc/network/interfaces as directed by a previous post here about WPA, and edited wpa_supplicant as appropriate.

Am using WPA with TKIP encryption via a Linksys WRT54GC.

I created also /etc/default/wpa and added WPA_ENABLE=true to it, as well as putting wpa_supplicant.sh in /etc/init.d/ as suggested in a previous post.

Code: [Select]

# Wired or wireless interfaces
iface eth0 inet static
    up /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant.sh start
    down /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant.sh stop
    down changedns -r  192.168.0.1
    up changedns -a  192.168.0.1
    address 192.168.0.156
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.0.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1Above is what the entry in my /etc/network/interfaces has.

Code: [Select]

# This is a basic configuration for WPA with pre-shared keys (WPA-PSK)

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
    ssid="****"
    scan_ssid=1
    proto=WPA
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP
    psk="*********"
    priority=0
}
Above is the wpa_supplicant.conf contents.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Kelly

Further to previous post:

I ran "wpa_supplicant -Dhostap -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd"

And got the following output:

If I'm reading the above right, my card if failing to enable encryption (WPA). Is this due to the driver for it not supporting it? or is the card actually as I fear now unable to use WPA? or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Thanks,

You should have a look at dmesg output. There may some interesting error in it related to your problem. Also have you loaded the necessary kernel modules from the feed:
ieee802*
michael_mic
rc4

Do you have the latest wpa_supplicant version (wpa_supplicant -v)?

Get module not found for the modules you list (they could i guess be built into the kernel?), i'll have a check and see if they're in the feed (didn't see them before, or don't remember seeing them).

As for wpa_supplicant, get v0.2.6 from wpa_supplicant -v

Thanks,

Kelly

Thats from dmesg output.

The Socket (a spectrum24_cs card) was not WPA capable.
Now,perhaps, the support of recent Wireless Extensions could have changed something. I hope so.

BTW the card supports WPA under window$...

[kellyharding]

I've updated wpa_supplicant to 0.4.8.

But still no joy

btw, i'm using kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
