I need to connect my IBM T41 to WIFI network with hidden SSID.
My configuraton of wpa_supplicant:

Quote:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1

eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1


network={

ssid="MY_NETWORK"
bssid=00:1A:70:EB:88:FF
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP CCMP
# scan_ssid=1
psk="%%%%%%%"
priority=1

}

And it doesn't work :evil: but when the SSID is unhide everythink is ok.

I'm working on wpa_supplikannt + madwifi-ng , wifi router -> WRTG 54GL + TOMATO

Please help.

Uncomment the line scan_ssid=1, or, even better, turn off SSID hiding. Honestly, there's no point to it.

Try changing ap_scan to
Code:

ap_scan=2

and setting only one option (TKIP or CCMP) under pairwise.

Hiding the SSID is a waste of time though, the only clients you'll prevent from connecting are your own.

It works when I set PAIRWISE on TKIP only. :D

Thank you for help.
