Hello,

I want to configure wpa_supplicant to connect using a WEP key. Here is my network config block (from wpa_supplicant.conf):

Code:

network={
        ssid="default"     
        key_mgmt=NONE
        auth_alg=OPEN
        wep_key0=XXXXXXXXX
}


When I try to connect I get the following errors:

Code:

levesque-laptop jer # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
 * Caching service dependencies ...                               [ ok ]
 * Stopping ntpd ...                                                       [ ok ]
 * Stopping sshd ...                                                       [ ok ]
 * Stopping wlan0
 *   Bringing down wlan0
 *     Shutting down wlan0 ...                                         [ ok ]
 * Starting wlan0
 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...

You may need to add support for this EAP method during wpa_supplicant
build time configuration.
See README for more information.

I looked at the README file: it says that the needed EAP methods should be enabled at compile time, but the point is that I don't need the 'SIM' and 'FAST' methods.

How should I tell wpa_supplicant not to check for the 'SIM' and 'FAST' EAP methods?

Thanks

there's no SIM and FAST declaration in your wpa_supplicant.conf file?
