 |
|
I have been searching around and cannot find the answer to my problem. I am trying to connect to a WPA-TKIP access point. I have installed the latest wpa_supplicant, madwifi-ng, madwifi-ng-tools, and wireless-tools. My card is Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01). When I do ifconfig i get
| Code: | # ifconfig

When I try to connect to my AP in wifi-radar, i get the errors:
| Code: | # wifi-radar
sh: say: command not found
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.
Line 10: failed to parse ssid 'ZFGP9'.
Line 10: failed to parse ssid 'ZFGP9'.
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
Line 14: failed to parse network block.
Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
|
I have tried using the wifi0 device as well as the ath0 device and both give the same errors. I am not sure what to do now and have tried searching all around. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The output of iwconfig is:
| Code: | # iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
wifi0 no wireless extensions.

And my wpa_supplicant.conf is :
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=0
ap_scan=1
#
network={
ssid=ZFGP9
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="--key--"
}
|
and my net config file is:
| Code: |
#iwconfig_ath0="mode managed"
modules=( "ifconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
|
also lsmod is:
| Code: |
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
wlan_tkip 14080 0
wlan_scan_sta 12800 1
ath_rate_sample 13568 1

Sorry for the long post but I have been trying to fix this for a while and have had no luck. |

Quote your ssid in wpa_supplicant.conf ??
I don't use wifiradar myself but it doesn't seem too happy with the wpa_supplicant.conf it found.
What does wpa_cli status say ??
For comparison, here's my own wpa_supplicant.conf and wpa_cli status
| Code: | active netblock from wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="--my-quoted-random-hex-ssid---"
psk=---my-unquoted-hex-psk-post-wpa_passphrase---
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=RSN
priority=2
} |
| Code: | wpa_cli status
> status
bssid=*** My router's mac ***
ssid=---My-random-hex-ssid-sans-quotes---
id=1
pairwise_cipher=CCMP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=192.168.0.3

This is all with an Atheros based Netgear WPN511 pccard talking to a Netgear DG834PN, using madwifi-ng 0.9.3.3 & wpa_supplicant 0.5.7 on a 2.6.23-r3 kernel
