Hello, i tried to configure my WLAN (WPA PSK) all night. i use a Linksys Router with OpenWRT installed. I configured my Atheros card proper to the docs and wikis. But i cant get a ping out of this. I get the handshakes, but it seems to me theres no connection made, the wireless symbol on the Thinkpad is blinking instead of lighting up constantly (like in Windows).

These are the essential lines of what i get when i start wpa_supplicant

State: GROUP_HANDSHAKE -> GROUP_HANDSHAKE
WPA: Group Key - hexdump(len=32): [REMOVED]
State: GROUP_HANDSHAKE -> COMPLETED
wpa_driver_wext_set_operstate: operstate 0->1 (UP)
WEXT: Operstate: linkmode=-1, operstate=6
EAPOL: External notification - portValid=1
EAPOL: External notification - EAP success=1
EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state AUTHENTICATING
EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state SUCCESS
EAP: EAP entering state DISABLED
EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state AUTHENTICATED
EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state IDLE
EAPOL: startWhen --> 0

Any help is appreciated.

So i got a little further. what i get now seems like a working connection, but still i cant ping my AP.

Code:
wpa_cli status
gives me

Quote:
Selected interface 'ath0'
bssid=00:18:39:dc:b8:97
ssid=myssidname
id=0
pairwise_cipher=TKIP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED


This is what i set up in my /etc/conf.d/net

Quote:
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" )
config_ath0=( "192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" )

routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" )
routes_ath0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" )

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"

channel_ath0=11
adhoc_essid_ath0="myssidname"
preferred_aps=( "myssidname" )
associate_order="forcepreferredonly"
dns_servers_ESSID=( "1.2.3.4" "1.2.3.5" )

8O 8O ahhh it works i dont f****n believe it!! It stopped my /etc/init.d/net.eth0 now and started ath0 again.

There seems to be a conflict with the to interfaces started at the same time. I need to fix that.
