 Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 3:39 pm Post subject: Wireless connection - one works and one doesn't - SOLVED |
 |
|
I have a wireless connection set up using wpa_supplicant. Everything works just fine using my original WRT54G, but I have joined the FON network and want to use the AP supplied.
The working configuration:
/etc/conf.d/net
| Quote: | modules=( "wpa_supplicant")
modules=( "!iwconfig" )
wpa_timeout_wlan0=60
plug_timeout="5"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
modules=( "ifconfig" )
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" ) |
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Quote: | update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# New FON AP
network={
ssid="miplace"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
}
# Old WRT54G
network={
ssid="highwire"
key_mgmt=NONE
} |
Using this set up I constantly connect to the "highwire" SSID without any issue at all. However, if I turn off the WRT54G, I don't connect to the FON.
This is the output from /etc/init.net.wlan0 start

WEP key is not set for "SKY26012" - not connecting

and at the same time, this is the output of iwlist scan

So the card can see the "miplace" SSID, but won't connect to it. I have removed all security whilst I get this sorted, so it isn't that as an issue. The two APs BTVOYAGER and SKY are neighbour's which don't always appear as they are some distance away.
Really appreciate help on this
Robert

i am not 100% sure but i think it is because u disabled iwconfig, try enabling it (removing the '!') and take a look if it will work.
if it didn't work
try manually connecting, post commands + output pls |

The last modules line is ( "ifconfig" ) and overrides the others.
Maybe you have to include iwconfig or wpa_supplicant in this. |
