Hi all...

I've trying to set up my laptop to work with his wireless card but nothing works :(

I emerged wpa_supplicant, ipw3945 modules, ieee80211, everything... but the card refuses to connect to router.

The error message is:
Code:
Association requesto to the driver failed


It's not a wpa_supplicant.conf problem, bucause I tested it under Ubuntu 6.06 (livecd).

So any ideas? I'm running out of them :(

Thx, and sry bad english!

Could you be more specific?

Are you using too Acer Travelmate? What did you do when you get the error? Post the contents of wpa_supplicant.conf?
What kind of encryption the router uses and all.

We'll be able to help you better when we know more facts about the problem.

Sorry for bad topic :(

Yes, the notebook is an new Acer Travelmate 4202WLMi

My wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
root@ubuntu:/etc# cat wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2

network={
        ssid="homewireless"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
        psk=***
        priority=2
}


My router is an DLink DI-724 using WPA-PSK with TKIP mode.

This error come when I launch wpa_supplicant in this way:
Code:
wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf


The screen prints too many error, but the last one is this:
Code:
Association requesto to the driver failed


Do I need to post full error?
Thx,

Hmmm, I find a problem... my wireless is not identified in ifconfig -a

Only appears the wired network, I checked this through the MAC Adress...

The problem now...

lspci informs me my Wireless Card... ipw3945 is loaded... so, I think that is a /etc/conf.d/net problem?

Anyway, here is my /etc/conf.d/net:
Code:
#Wired network
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 3"

#Wireless
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext -ieth1"
wpa_timeout_eth1=10

config_WLAN=( "dhcp" )
dhcdcp_WLAN="-t 3"


So, any ideias?

PS: lspci
Code:
05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)
