Hi,

I have troubles to connect to my WLAN router at home now, which was working for quite a while now.
The only thing I changed the last days was an emerge --update world where new packages for the ipw2200 have been installed.
I have no idea what goes wrong at the moment.

This is my /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant.conf:

# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-wireless/wpa_supplicant/files/wpa_supplicant-0.3.8-r1-conf.d,v 1.1 2005/07/13 18:18:51 brix Exp $

# List of interfaces
INTERFACES="eth1"

# Common arguments to all wpa_supplicant instances
ARGS="-w"

# Interface specific arguments
#ARGS_eth1="-Dipw"


.... and this one is the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

# The below line not be changed otherwise we refuse to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=0

# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1

# My wireless network settings
network={
ssid="*myssid*"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="*mysecretpsk*"
}



Additionally I have the ifplugd installed. /etc/conf.d/ifplugd is:

INTERFACES="eth0"

# Additional parameters for ifplugd.

# If you set AUTO to yes, you have to read https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28362
# I recommend a delay of 0, both ways, since then, you can swap ethernet
# cables on different networks and get a new ip address.
# None of the programs I tested had a problem with the interface being
# gone in the mean time.
AUTO="no"
BEEP="yes"
IGNORE_FAIL="yes"
IGNORE_FAIL_POSITIVE="no"
IGNORE_RETVAL="yes"
POLL_TIME="1"
DELAY_UP="0"
DELAY_DOWN="0"
API_MODE="auto"
SHUTDOWN="no"
WAIT_ON_FORK="no"
MONITOR="no"
ARGS=""

# Additional parameters for ifplugd for the specified interface. Note that
# the global variable is ignored, when a variable like this is set for an
# interface
# MONITOR_wlan0="yes"
# DELAY_UP_wlan0="5"
# DELAY_DOWN_wlan0="5"


Does anybody has an idea what I could check?
Thanks for your help.

The problem:

/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Starting eth1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* timed out

Cheers.
