 Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 11:40 am Post subject: [WPA_SUPPLICANT] WEP key problem with Iwl3945 [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi, I'm using right now wireless-tool to connect to my router. I use a WEP key and everything is fine.
I have the kernel 2.6.24-Gentoo-r4 with the iwl3945 inside the kernel.
So, I want to try the wpa_supplicant with a wep_key.
I have this inside my /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
sylvain@gentootux ~ $ cat /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
#WPA_SUPPLICANT
##modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
##wpa_supplicant_wlan0_="-Dwext"
##config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
#Wireless tools
dns_domain_lo="homenetwork"
config_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-N"
config_gentoonet=( "dhcp" )
key_gentoonet="307b09e7e3979a1f4988afdb82 enc open"
preferred_aps=( "gentoonet" )
#preup()
#{
# if [[ ${IFACE} = "eth1" ]]; then
# sleep 3
# fi
# return 0
# }
sylvain@gentootux ~ $
|
Here's my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
sylvain@gentootux ~ $ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
# This is a network block that connects to any unsecured access point.
# We give it a low priority so any defined blocks are preferred.
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=-9999999
}
network={
ssid="gentoonet"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0="specialkey"
wep_tx_keyidx=0
priority=5
}
|
If I comment my Wireless tool section and I actived my WPA_SUPPLICANT config, I cannot connect to my IP.
Also, if I run this as root or as user I have this :
| Code: |
[root@gentootux ~]# wpa_gui
The gui comes up and then I get this:
Failed to open control connection to wpa_supplicant.
PING failed - trying to reconnect
PING failed - trying to reconnect
PING failed - trying to reconnect

How can I debug this thing ?

Hai,
it costed me many nerves to get this running ... maybe I can save some of Yours 
I suppose You have emerged the firmware for Your iwl3945
My findings are that 1st the hardware based scan of SSID's does not work with the iwlwifi drivers (don't ask me why), and 2nd the wlan0 interface has to be explicitly set to up before wpa_supplicant starts.
Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf | Code: | update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=0
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="the SSID"
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=TKIP
pairwise=TKIP CCMP
psk="nixdiefingers"
}
|
The important entry is ap_scan=0. You can find a commented wpa_supplicant.conf in /usr/share/doc.
My /etc/conf.d/net reads as follows | Code: | modules=( "dhcpcd" "!iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
dns_domain="maus.homelinux.net"
dns_search="maus.homelinux.net"
dns_servers="192.168.100.210 192.168.100.200 217.237.150.33"
dns_options=( "timeout 1" "rotate" )
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 30 -L -H"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
#Comment this out otherwise a restart of wlan0 is not possible!
#associate_timeout_wlan0=90
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 30 -L -H"
preup() {
if [[ ${IFACE} = "wlan0" ]]; then
ebegin "set interface to up"
ifconfig ${IFACE} up
eend
ebegin "set rate to auto"
iwconfig ${IFACE} rate auto
eend
fi
return 0
}
|
Hope this helps a bit

| I have the same result. Is there any log files or something that I could check to see what is going on ? |

I tried also the WPA2 Personnal with no luck :
| Code: |
cat /etc/conf.d/net
#WPA_SUPPLICANT
##modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
##wpa_supplicant_wlan0_="-Dwext"
##config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
#ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
#ctrl_interface_group=wheel
#ap_scan=0
#update_config=1
network={
ssid="gentoonet"
psk="3zr2xbg7gentoo"
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
priority=5
}

In fact, look at my wpa_cli after a connection with wassistant
| Code: |
gentootux ~ # wpa_cli status
Selected interface 'wlan0'
bssid=00:1a:70:62:40:88
ssid=gentoonet
id=0
pairwise_cipher=CCMP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=192.168.1.102

I use iwl3945 with wpa_supplicant, but I've not got my laptop with me. If I get a chance later I'll post my config here for comparison.
Once thing I've noticed with the module that's included in the 2.6.24 kernel is that if you stop net.wlan0 (my WiFi interface) then you need to reload the kernel mod before starting it, otherwise the module just seems to bomb out.
Cheers,

This was the case for mine as well, then I had a closer look to error mesages I got when I did a /etc/init.d/net.wlan restart. I had to coment out associate_timeout_wlan0 in /etc/conf.d/net. But I have a iwl4965, not a iwl3945 |

What makes me suspicious is that "dhchcd" is missing in Your modules statement. The modules statement is a bash variable assignment and overides all defaults. So maybe without the "dhcpcd" baselayout may not know, how to run the/which DHCP deamon for the interface. |

| One of the problems here is the wpa_supplicant configuration file, it specifies group=CCMP, and wpa_cli, once connected, says group_cipher=TKIP |
