 Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2006 2:40 pm Post subject: can't connect to WEP network using wpa_supplicant [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Right, so I have a Prism 2.5 chipset from Intersil Corp. and I have been trying for a while to connect to a WEP network (later identified as net2) using wpa_supplicant. This is my kernel configuration for hostap:
| Code: |
Networking Support -->
Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack -->
[*] IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption
[M] IEEE 802.11i CCMP support
[M] IEEE 802.11i TKIP support
Device Drivers -->
Network Device Support -->
Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) -->
[*] Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions
[M] Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)
[M] Prism 2.5 PCI 802.11b adapter support
[*] IEEE 802.11 for HostAP (Prism 2/2.5/3 and WEP/TKIP/CCMP)
[*] Support for downloading firmware images with Host AP driver
[M] Host AP driver for Prism 2/2.5/3 in PLX9052 PCI adapters
[*] Host AP driver for Prism 2.5 PCI adapters
[M] Host AP driver for Prism 2/2.5/3 PC Cards
|
Of those compiled as modules, orinoco, hermes, orinoco_pci, ieee80211_crypt_ccmp, and ieee80211_crypt_tkip are loaded (in that order). I understand that I don't need the ieee80211_crypt modules for WEP, but I figure it's better to have them available just in case.
On my computer, then, I've installed:
baselayout 1.12.0_pre16-r3
hostap_utils 0.4.7
wpa_supplicant 0.5.2
udhcp 0.9.9_pre20041216-r1
Wireless is initialized via the net.wlan0 init script only at the default runlevel. These are the relevant contents of /etc/conf.d/rc:
| Code: |
# RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING allows some flexibility with the 'net' service.
# The following values are allowed:
# none - The 'net' service is always considered up.
# no - This basically means that at least one net.* service besides net.lo
# must be up. This can be used by notebook users that have a wifi and
# a static nic, and only wants one up at any given time to have the
# 'net' service seen as up.
# lo - This is the same as the 'no' option, but net.lo is also counted.
# This should be useful to people that do not care about any specific
# interface being up at boot.
# yes - For this ALL network interfaces MUST be up for the 'net' service to
# be considered up.
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"
# RC_AUTO_INTERFACE allows us to try and configure your interfaces
# automatically. This includes:
# - link /etc/{resolv,ntp,yp}.conf to /var/lib/net-scripts
# - calculate a metric based on what interfaces are up and type
# - apply interface state (resolv.conf, ntp.conf, etc)
# - merge resolv.conf and ntp.conf from active interfaces based on metric
# otherwise we don't do the above
RC_AUTO_INTERFACE="yes"
# RC_DOWN_INTERFACE allows you to specify if RC will bring the interface
# compeletly down when it stops. The default is yes, but there are some
# instances where you may not want this to happen such as using Wake On LAN.
RC_DOWN_INTERFACE="yes"
|
Next are the relevant settings in /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
hotplug_wlan0="no"
modules_wlan0=( "wpa_supplicant" "udhcpc" )
# wpa_supplicant configuration options
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dhostap"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=20
# configuration for wlan0
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
|
Relevant settings in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# for net1
network={
ssid="net1"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=1
}
# for net2
network={
ssid="net2"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0="**********"
wep_tx_keyidx=0
priority=2
}
# for net3
network={
ssid="net3"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0="**********"
wep_tx_keyidx=0
priority=3
}
# for net4
network={
ssid="net4"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=4
}
|
The values of the network ssid's and the WEP keys have been changed for obvious reasons. I should also mention that I've tried working with auth_alg=NONE, as some websites have advised, but changed it to SHARED per instructions in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.example The logging output for the case where auth_alg=NONE is included for comparison below, where indicated. Here's the output of hostap_diag wlan0:
| Code: |
Host AP driver diagnostics information for 'wlan0'
NICID: id=0x8013 v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) Mini-PCI (SST parallel flash))
PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
STAID: id=0x001f v1.7.4 (station firmware)
|
If I run /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart, I get:
| Code: |
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wlan0
* Loading networking modules for wlan0
* modules: apipa arping bridge tuntap macchanger macnet rename netplugd iwconfig wpa_supplicant essidnet iptunnel ifconfig iproute2 ip6to4 system udhcpc

* netplug does not work with wireless
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Waiting for association [ ok ]
* Failed to configure wlan0 in the background [ !! ]
|
Once again, certain numbers have been changed for obvious reasons. And now the output of ifconfig and iwconfig:
| Code: |

The above snippet of code repeats for a while in dmesg. My logger is metalog, so looking through /var/log/everything/current I find:
| Code: |

I used to use ifplugd but thought it was ridiculously annoying, and I was under the impression that netplugd was only supposed to watch eth0.
Now, if auth_alg=NONE, the events of /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 do not change but other things do:
ifconfig:

Oy. It is finally worth noting that in the absence of the need for a WEP key (i.e. if I am in the vicinity of "net1" as defined in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf above), then I get access without a problem, and everything works fine.
Any ideas?

After going through the bug report I find that the answer of using ap_scan=2 doesn't work for me. However, the following does:
| Code: |

So working manually without modifying /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf gets it to run without a hitch. So next I tried using the init script:

So something screwy is going on between wpa_supplicant and (possibly) udhcpc as initialized by /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 versus being initialized manually. Now, for the coup de grace: if I edit /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant in the following way,
| Code: |
start() {
ebegin "Starting wpa_supplicant"
if [ ! -f /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ]; then
eerror "Configuration file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf not found"
return 1
fi
if [ -z "$INTERFACES" ]; then
eerror "No interfaces specified in /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant"
return 1
fi
for IFACE in $INTERFACES; do
ebegin " ${IFACE}"
eval ARGS_IFACE=\"\$\{ARGS_$IFACE\}\"
/sbin/ifconfig ${IFACE} up
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /sbin/wpa_supplicant \
-- -B -i${IFACE} -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ${ARGS} ${ARGS
_IFACE}
[color=red] /sbin/udhcpc ${IFACE}[/color]
eend $?
done
}
|
Then the following occurs,
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start
* Starting wpa_supplicant ...
* wlan0 ...
udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started
Sending discover...
Sending select for 192.168.1.104...

Accordingly, I think I'm going to screw the net.wlan0 init script and go with my modified version of wpa_supplicant. I think the problem is neither wpa_supplicant nor udhcpc, but rather the way net.wlan0 initializes and runs. I've taken a look at it, and found it too complex to be properly examined at this time. Perhaps that is its failing; after all, in any engineering solution more complexity usually means more opportunities for failure.
