Hi,
Not sure why I can't authenticate with the 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Cable/DSL Gateway (3CRWE554G72) we have at work. I'm using wpa_supplicant and the ipw3945 driver, which connects just fine to my Linksys WRT54G wireless router at home.
The 3Com Gateway's admin panel provided me with this information:
3C Number: 3CRWE554G72
Software Version: v1.02.13
Bootload Version: v1.00.00
Wireless Version: v1.0.0.0
Hardware Version: R01A
WPA Encryption: Enabled
WEP Encryption: Disabled
Channel: 11
I have been given the pre-shared key and told the authentication algorithm is TKIP. Below is my wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Code: | update_config=1
# The below line not be changed otherwise we refuse to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="home-wireless"
psk="home_passphrase"
priority=5
}
network={
ssid="work-wireless"
#key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#proto=WPA
#pairwise=TKIP
#group=TKIP
psk=64-bit hex key
#psk="text_passphrase"
priority=8
} |
In the second network block you can see the commented variables I have tried in the past.
wpa_cli shows me this perpetual loop:
| Code: | <2>Trying to associate with 00:0b:ac:e7:ae:ee (SSID='work-wireless' freq=2462 MHz)
<2>Associated with 00:0b:ac:e7:ae:ee
<2>Authentication with 00:0b:ac:e7:ae:ee timed out.
<2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
<2>Trying to associate with 00:0b:ac:e7:ae:ee (SSID='work-wireless' freq=2462 MHz)
<2>Associated with 00:0b:ac:e7:ae:ee
<2>Authentication with 00:0b:ac:e7:ae:ee timed out.
<2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys |
So it associates but doesn't authenticate?
Thanks in advance! |
