I'm trying to use the wireless card of my ibook G4 (Airport 802.11g).
I'm using the 2.6.17-rc3 vanilla kernel and i've compiled as module bcm43xx.
I've a wireless router with wpa-psk support so i'm trying to use wpa_supplicant.
My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="MambroWIFI"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="[cut]"
}
|
and my /etc/conf.d/net is
| Code: |
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.4 mtu 1492" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.2" )
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"
config_eth1=( "192.168.1.4 mtu 1492" )
routes_eth1=( "default gw 192.168.1.2" )
|
when i manually start wpa_supplicant it works
| Code: |
ibook ~ # wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1 -Dwext
Trying to associate with 00:03:2f:23:c4:1c (SSID='MambroWIFI' freq=0 MHz)

and i can ping the other computer of the lan and the webserver on internet. But if i try to run the init script it sometimes work and sometimes goes to timeout..
| Code: |
ibook ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Starting eth1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* eth1 connected to "MambroWIFI" at 00:03:2F:23:C4:1C
* Bringing up eth1
* 192.168.1.4 [ ok ]
* Adding routes
* default gw 192.168.1.2 ... [ ok ]
|
or
| Code: |
ibook ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Starting eth1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* timed out [ !! ]
|
What can I do?

bcm43xx is still a little immature. Either do it by hand or write a script yourself that sleeps between commands so that it has time to do each step.
