 Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 6:27 am Post subject: wpa_supplicant, hidden ssid, WPA2-PSK-TKIP troubles [solved] |
 |
|
I've been trying for a while now to get my wireless working, but to no avail. I've installed wpa_supplicant, and the ipw2200 driver, but I'm sure the problem lies somewhere in my configs. I know this because, a) I can connect to other, open, networks without issue, and b) I can connect to the router in question when I've removed the TKIP-PSK limitation and enabled broadcasting the SSID. (Of course, I could be completely missing something, so feel free to challenge me on this...) I've read through /etc/conf.d/net.example and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.example and still don't see why it's not working. I'd appreciate some suggestions on my configuration, especially because I'm having trouble seeing how wpa_supplicant, dhcp, and the init script interact in providing an connection.
Here are the relevant configs:
(eth0 is Wired LAN, eth1 is Wireless card)
/etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 15"
dhcp_config="nodns nontp nonis"
config_eth1=( "wpa_supplicant" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 30"
modules_eth1=( "!iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dipw"
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_eth1=30
|
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="my ssid"
scan_ssid=0
priority=5
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="my ascii psk with tons of ]- and {-type symbols in it"
}
|
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Still doesn't work, even with the Broadcast SSID turned off. I've also simplified my PSK just in case for the time being.
says eth1 is unassociated, but gives the SSID of my router. Also, dhcpcd times out when trying to get an IP, probably because of the encryption.
What's wrong with my config? |

OK, I got it working. The problem was that I didn't have any other parameters in the | Code: | | wpa_supplicant="-Dipw" |
line of /etc/conf.d/net. Changing it to | Code: | | wpa_supplicant="-Dipw -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1" |
fixed it for me. I also removed the wext driver from being used, though I don't think that did anything for me. Thanks for the help. |
