While wpa_supplicant works like a charme with ipw2200-1.1.2-r1, it doesn't do with ipw2200-1.1.3. It's getting a timeout, instead. Running wpa_supplicant with a 1.1.3 module from the command line gives:

Code:

r2d2 ~ # wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Trying to associate with 00:16:b6:1d:6d:c7 (SSID='Secret' freq=0 MHz)
CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect


Of course, the pre-shared key is correct, as it is working and connecting to the AP with version 1.1.2-r1 of ipw2200. The frequency (0 MHz) seems to be an issue, however. Any ideas, anyone?

it works for me but sometimes it needs more than one try to complete

Code:
Trying to associate with 00:13:46:89:c6:f1 (SSID='Secret' freq=0 MHz)
Associated with 00:13:46:89:c6:f1
WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect
CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
Trying to associate with 00:13:46:89:c6:f1 (SSID='Secret' freq=0 MHz)
Associated with 00:13:46:89:c6:f1
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:13:46:89:c6:f1 [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:13:46:89:c6:f1 completed (auth) [id=0 id _str=]


did you set
Code:
pairwise=TKIP
in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf?

Setting this makes no difference for me, ipw2200-1.1.3 still not working. Thank you anyway.

I also had problems with version 1.1.3. When starting from the command line with:

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

I got:

Trying to associate with 00:13:f7:0f:36:ac (SSID='SMC' freq=0 MHz)
CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys

...until interrupt.

With version 1.1.2-r1 all went fine. So, i just emerged again the 1.1.2-r1 version and again, all worked ok. Just to be sure, update again, problems back.

There must be a problem with this 1.1.3 version...

I'm back to the in-kernel version of ipw2200 again. At the end of the last year, I switched from the in-kernel version to the external (portage) one, because in-kernel ipw2200 had stopped functioning then. Now it is the other way around. I'm very happy to see again that there *is* at least one way to keep things going with Gentoo :)

Here is how I got ipw2200-1.1.3 working with kernel 2.6.16-gentoo-r13:
Basically I followed the wiki but first I cleaned everything up.

First I unmerged the pertinent files:
Code:

emerge -aC net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.13-r1 net-wireless/wireless-tools-28 net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware-3.0 net-wireless/ipw2200-1.1.3  net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.4.9

Then I made a tarball of /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r13 just in case.
Then I removed the following:
/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r13/net/ieee80211
/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r13/net/wireless
/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r13/kernel/net/ieee80211

Then I ran:
Code:

/bin/sh /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old /usr/src/linux

to clean up the source tree. I also checked to make sure none of the modules where being built by the kernel just to keep it clean if I rebuild the kernel.
Code:

# grep -i ieee80211 .config
#CONFIG_IEEE80211=m
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG is not set
#CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=m
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP is not set

# grep -i ipw2200 .config
# CONFIG_IPW2200 is not set

Then I emerged:
Code:

emerge -av net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.13-r1 net-wireless/wireless-tools-28 net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware-3.0 net-wireless/ipw2200-1.1.3  net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.4.9


Here are my config files if someone needs them.
Code:

# cat /etc/conf.d/wireless
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
# As of kernel 2.6.15 (and probably earlier), Centrino users have to use
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_eth1=10
essid_eth1="wrt-link"
preferred_aps=( "wrt-link" )
config_eth1=( "192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
routes_eth1=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" )

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1

network={
        ssid="wrt-link"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        psk="secretpassword"
}



After a few days of fussing with this problem this is what finally did it for me.

Even after trying the posted solution mine still failed to connect with the same problems. After moving back to 1.1.2-r1 I am able to successfully connect again.

I had the same problem as yours until I upgrade wpa_supplicant to 0.5.4
