 Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 8:26 pm Post subject: wpa_supplicant settings for WEP-enabled AP |
 |
|
Hello,
I have thanks to very kind help,
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-408550-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-wpasupplicant.html
on the forum got my Atheros card up and running. I have verified that I am able to connect to my access point, but when I enable WEP on it, connection times out every time and I have set it up to two minutes. Is there anyone with a simple WEP-configuration that works with wpa_supplicant that could post their wpa_supplicant.conf? Mine is now, minus comments:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="bongofury"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key1="the hex password set for 64-bit"
priority=5
auth_alg=SHARED
}

'bout the only difference to what I had working with wep then is I don't think I had the auth_alg specified.
(My WEP stopped working after upgrading to Kernel 2.6.14-r2 and ndiswrapper 1.5, so I switched to WPA) |

I have the same probleme, my ugly solution is
# iwconfig eth1 key open hex_key
after I started /etc/init.d/net.eth1
Would be nice to have a real solution |

Here is mine, I had to upgrade wpa_supplicant to the version 0.4.7 (~x86)
My timeout setting for wpa_supplicant is 15 secs, and dhcp is also 15 seconds. It works great 
Good luck.
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="MYSSID"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0="MYWEBKEY"
wep_tx_keyidx=0
priority=1
}
