Hi,
although reading all informations available on oesf-forums and on different sites on the net I still have problems getting wpa to work on my zaurus 3100 with cacko 1.23.
Recently I changed my access point from wep-encryption to wpa-psk. The change was succesful - I am able to connect my laptop using wpa.
With wep it was no problem to connect my zaurus with the access point. On the zaurus I use Cacko-ROM 1.23, the Wifi-Card is a SanDisk Connect CompactFlash 802.11b.
According to some hints on forum-postings I upgraded the flash to 1.8.4, since the card has a prism chipset.
After insertion of the card it seems to be recognized correctly. For example dmesg containd the following lines:
wifi0: NIC: id=0x800c v1.0.0
wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.1.1
wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.8.4
This is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

############################When hitting the connection-applet the light of the Wifi card flickers for a while but at the end no connection is established.
I did not find any possibilty to send information to a log file. The only information I get is the output of dmesg but this does not help (at least not me).
Some of the possibly relevant parts of dmesg output:

######## end of dmesg-output ################Any advice or hint what to to or how to find the reason for my problems. For security reasons I would not like to switch back to WEP-encryption.
Thanks for help in advance

Sorry for the long post ...
