I'm utterly confused as to what I want to do.

Let's suppose my essid is "goatse" and my passkey is "fetus". That's not what they are, obviously, but that is the example I'm using.

My card is some "Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan Chipset (rev 01), according to lspci.

My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf has:

Code:

network={

ssid="goatse"
psk="fetus"

}


When I try to run /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant and get my essid right and stuff, I cannot reach my router. It tells me the MAC address is 44:44:44:44:44, which is obviously not right, and then screws around a bit and tries to log on to a neighbor's router (obviously not what I want!).

My wireless modules are, as well, are hermes, orinoco_pci, orinoco. I don't know much about wireless in linux, but I think those are the relevant ones.

AFAIK your hardware/driver does not support WPA
