 Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2005 5:37 pm Post subject: Help configuring ipw2100 + wpa_supplicant |
 |
|
Hi all, first message in this forum.
I'm running Gentoo 2005.1 on a Acer Travelmate 290Lci.
I installed ipw2100 drivers for WLAN and followed Gentoo guide to configure everything.
I installed wpa_supplicant since my wireless router (3Com) is set to WEP-Encryption.
I don't know how to get all the stuff working.
Here are my sources:
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="3Com Reds"
group=WEP104
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN
psk="my_password"
priority=5
}
|
/etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
#dhcp_eth1="nodns nontp nonis"
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dipw"
wpa_timeout_eth1=60
|
this is the output of my ./etc/init.d/net.eth1 start command
| Code: |
GentooBook init.d # ./net.eth1 start
* Starting eth1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* eth1 connected to "3Com Reds" at 00:0F:CB:AE:5A:80
* not using any encryption
* Bringing up eth1
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ... [ !! ]
GentooBook init.d #
|
I can't get an IP ... also from the router's log i can't see any comunications.
I tried to change the channel, to the one used by my router:
| Code: |
GentooBook init.d # iwconfig eth1 channel 11
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
|
Any help? I read so many pages and everyone says something different, I'm confused...
Thank you and happy new year  |

There's no need for wpa_supplicant if you use WEP. Anyway, check the errors running
| Code: | | wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1 -Dipw -d |
Depending on driver version you may need to set -Dwext (and change accordingly /etc/conf.d/net).

| You need to change -Dipw to -Dwext in /etc/conf.d/net |

It seems OK at first sight, it's correct that it keeps running until you interrupt it. Try to run dhcpcd eth1 from another session. You may check the status running
| Code: | | ipw_cli -i eth1 status |
In alternative you may use iwconfig, just put a key_<essid> line in /etc/conf.d/net or /etc/conf.d/wireless (look at wireless.example for details) and remove
| Code: | | modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) |

Sorry, now that I look better you should have
| Code: | wep_key0=<hex wep key without dashes>
wep_tx_keyidx=0 |
in wpa_supplicant.conf instead of the psk entry, which is used for WPA-PSK and not for WEP.

Seems like dhcpcd is not well configured to gain an IP address from my access point...
Any other help? |

Are you sure that your 3com router is dhcp server enabled? Also do you use MAC filtering on the router? It's your MAC address on the allow list?
If it's not you might want to try to set up the ip manually in /etc/conf.d/net. |

I have another 3 pc's connected by wi-fi on that access point.
Nothing blocked, all dhcp served...I didn't put mac filtering (i will check again now)...
The only difference is that THIS notebook is 802.11b and others NIC are 802.11g (54Mbs), but the router i set in mixed mode "11b/11g".
Router is set on channel 11, but if i try to change channel....
| Code: |
GentooBook ~ # iwconfig eth1 channel 11
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

Hi,
I also have problems with wpa_supplicant and ipw2200.
when i try to start net.eth1 this i what i get:
| Code: | * Starting eth1
* Bringing up eth1
* Configuration not set for eth1 -assuming dhcp
* dhcp
* eth1 does not exist [!!]
|
So i loaded my modules with modprobe
and tried again:
| Code: | * Starting eth1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ...
'.supported driver 'wext [!!] |
I also tried -Dipw in my /etc/conf.d/net file and i got the same error
I don't know what is wrong... |
