Hi I am still having no luck if someone can advise me as to the area where the problem is ie driver, kernel, wpa_supplicant, etc.
Many thanks. |

Ok, first your /etc/conf.d/net should be like that :
| Code: |
#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0_="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
|
After that, you need to run this to create your Wireless link.
| Code: |
# cd /etc/init.d/
# ln -s net.lo net.wlan0
|

After that, can you post this :
Finally, you should run this to see what is going on :
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# wpa_cli status
|

I have altered wpa_supplicant setting to
[/code]# This is a network block that connects to any unsecured access point.
# We give it a low priority so any defined blocks are preferred.
#network={
#key_mgmt=NONE
#priority=-9999999
#}
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicaht
ctrl_interface_group=0
network={
ssid="linux emporium stat"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="####################"
}
and now iwconfig returns this it look promising
but when started it says wlan has started but is inactive
[code] # iwconfig

I noticed that the above wmaster0 has the same mac address as wlan0 is this correct and what is it?
more info might help I managed to get on the net and load the gentoo home page but would not load any more
if I use the command wpa_gui the wpa_gui comes up with all the connection settings and connects ok but as stated before will only work for a very short time ie one page. if i open the wpa_gui from the desktop it is blank with no net work to select.

still no luck connecting to the internet
the computer seems to have no problem connecting to the apple airport,
the apple airport lists the computer as connected but if i use the following command i get this,
| Code: | # wpa_gui
Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
Selected interface 'wlan0'
Trying to connect to '/var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0'
but the gui pain comes up with
status complete
last message wpa group rekeying completed
authentication wpa2-psk
encryption CCMP + TKIP
bssid *****************************
ip address 10.0.1.200
if I try to save the configuration I get the message
The update_config=1 configuration option must be used for configuration saving to be permitted.
Don't know if it is of any use to my problem or not.
thanks |
