 |
|
Hello,
The WiFi connection in my work finally started to take care about securing the network.
However, I couldn't connect using iwconfig and ndiswrapper anymore.
I had to emerge wpa_supplicant,
but it doesn't seem to well for me...
There will probably be some stupid mistake I'm doing.
My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this:
| Quote: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="Net"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
# pairwise=CCMP TKIP
# group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
psk="aiesecbbefumbtajovskeho10"
priority=5
}
|
When I try to start the connection with /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start,
the output is:
| Quote: |
* Starting wlan0
* Configuring wireless network for wlan0
* no access points found
* Couldn't find any access points on wlan0
* Failed to configure wireless for wlan0 [!!]
|
And with
wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper -dd
I get the output:

because people who are for example waiting for a bus, and run network scanning, won't find it... I don't know, it wasn't my decision... Is it possible to make it work with hidden id?

If there is traffic on your network, broadcasting on or off, they will get your ssid by capturing one of your packets. No need to decode it.
I don't use wpa_supplicant, so I can't help you. But in /etc/conf.d/wireless, you have a force_preferred_ap setting, with that, the nic sets each ssid in the list and tries to connect. There's probably such a setting in wpa_supplicant too (or are you using the same config with wpa_supplicant too? worth checking) |
