 Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 12:16 am Post subject: what's wrong w/ my supplicant configs? |
 |
|
I cannot figure out how to get wpa_supplicant to connect to any detected APs. I've scoured these forums and google for an answer and I CANNOT figure out what I am doing wrong.
when I run | Code: | wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D madwifi -i ath0 -dd
|
the response looks like...
| Code: |

and if I run 'ifconfig ath0 up' and 'iwlist ath0 scan' I can see a half dozen or so APs being found by my card, but I cannot figure out how to connect to them. I cannot connect to the wireless AP at my parents house either. Most of these APs are unencrypted and I was able to connect to them using WinXP , which unfortunately isn't on my computer anymore, but at least I know that they are accessible
Codo wrote that I don't "have a sutiable config for [the APs] in a slightly different thread that I authored earlier"
I've got an Atheros AR5211 802.11ab
Here is the current state of relevant (i believe) config files:
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
###ap_scan=0
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="05B405327374"
# ssid="05B401935957"
# ssid="05B404078509"
# ssid="04B412646099"
# ssid="04B412739203"
# ssid="default"
# ssid="05B405327374"
# ssid="05B401089421"
# ssid="Network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
}
|
/etc/conf.d/wireless
| Code: |
essid_ath0="any"
mode_ath0="managed"
channel_ath0="6"
|
Sorry for using valuable space in these forums. I would be grateful for any advice at all because I am at a dead end and I have never been able to make wireless work with linux on this computer. |

Try using the wpa_supplicant-0.4.x ebuilds - I think they fixed this issue.
Or it may have been a madwifi-driver issue as well |

ok, I'll follow your advice.
I know that the madwifi-drivers are fine, because I am sometimes able to use them to connect to wireless APs with wirelss-tools. |
