 Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:08 pm Post subject: Cannot connect with wpa_supplicant [solved] |
 |
|
I have wireless tools running on my computer and I can connect to the internet just fine. I would like to switch over to wpa_supplicant so that I may use WPA encryption (I currently use WEP). The problem is that now matter what I seem to do, I cannot connect.
| /etc/conf.d/net: | modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Datmel" |
| /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=users
update_config=1
network={
ssid="Trust_Network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0={hidden wep key}
priority=5
} |
Now, if I try using the init script, I get:
| /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start: | * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting eth0
* Loading networking modules for eth0
* modules: apipa arping ccwgroup macchanger macnet rename wpa_supplicant essidnet iptunnel iproute2 system dhcpcd ip6to4

It continues that pinging at the end until I exit out of it, but during that time I am not connected to the internet and pinging the router (192.168.0.1) outputs a: "Network is Unreachable" I've tried the gui (while the console command and the init script have been run and it displays the following:
| Quote: | Status: COMPLETED
Last message:
Authentication: NONE
Encryption: WEP-40
SSID: Trust_Network
BSSID: 00:01:95:6a:3d:c7
IP address: |
If I hit 'Connect' again, the only thing that changes is that the 'Last message:' is set to 'Connection to 00:01:95:6a:3d:c7 comple' (I'm assuming it means 'Complete', but it gets cut off)
Now, as a bit of a random guess, I think the crux of the problem lies in this message, the first line of which is generated when I run wpa_supplicant via command line and the second line of which displays both when I run it at the command line and with the init script:
| Code: | wpa_driver_atmel_set_key: alg=none key_idx=3 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0
ioctl[ATMEL_WPA_IOCTL]: Argument list too long |
As a last note, and to address it before someone else mentions it, I know that WEP about as useful as a cat in a dog race (Leave my metaphor's alone! I just woke up!) and the entire reason I'm changing to wpa_supplicant is so I may also change to WPA, but I want to make sure that my computer is initialized first and that wpa_supplicant likes my adapter (which it says it supports and works fine with wireless tools, so I know the adapters ok) and once I can get it working with WEP, I'll change over to WPA. Just figured that was worth mentioning

| I just tried the first of your configurations and I noticed that if I had wireless tools connect my computer to the router, then stop the service, switch to wpa_supplicant and restart the service, I can connect. But I just restarted and wpa_supplicant cannot, by itself, connect. |

I'm not at my gentoo box, so I can't check out stuff. I'm going from memory here...
You may want to try using "-Dwext" (kernel wireless extensions) instead of "-Datmel", that is of course if atmel is a ie80211 stack kernel driver. It is, isn't it?
Also try "!iwconfig" (=don't use iwconfig) in /etc/conf.d/net i.e:
| Code: | modules=( "!iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dwext" |
Should that be eth0, or eth1 or wlan0? I don't since I can't check and never have used atmel wifi.
Then in wpa_supplicant.conf, add "ap_scan=1". You can also fiddle with 0 or 2. See /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf for more clues. Basically ap_scan=1 is default (IIRC), but force it anyway. It lets wpa_supplicant take care of the scanning. 0 lets the driver do the scanning. 2 is like 0, but has additional features.
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=users
update_config=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="Trust_Network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="yoursupersecretpassphrasegoeshere"
} |
I'd have to check my gentoo lappy for WEP config. I'll go check and return. |

For WEP, same config but I have this for a simple WEP network (not my own)
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=users
update_config=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="Trust_Network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="yoursupersecretpassphrasegoeshere"
}
network={
ssid="Trust_Network"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=yourwepkeyunquoted
} |

I've had ap_scan=1 in my wpa_supplicant.conf file before, but it looks like either adding !iwconfig (less likely) or changing to wext (more likely) is what actually did the trick I wasn't aware the wext was the kernel framestack, but it looks like their atmel support is still in a 'working' phase (or, at least that's my guess)
I changed the settings and restarted (as I had mentioned in my last post) and this time it worked right off the bat! I'll keep an eye on it for now, but I'm hoping that means this is now solved
Thanks all! |

| Glad you got it sorted. !iwconfig makes a HUGE difference, as well as -Dwext. It's the combination that did the trick. |

alienjon,
Glad to see you're making progress.
As a comment to your previous post, I'd say each time I make a change in my network conf (e.g. add a new wireless network), instead of restarting the computer I stop the interface, unload the module, load it again and wait few seconds with something like : #/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop && modprobe -r iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945.
That works like a charm.
