Hi

i've a problem with wpa_supplicant, wpa and the rt73usb in ad-hoc
i don't know why but my usb-cards only work in WEP with wpa_supplicant in ad-hoc mode

Code:
gentoo angelus # cat /etc/conf.d/net

## Cable eth0
config_eth0=("dhcp")
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 5"
dhcp_eth0="release nodns nonis nontp"

## Cable eth1
#config_eth1=("192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255")

## Wlan wlan0
modules=( "!iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=("192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255")
gentoo angelus #

Are you using an in-kernel driver, or ndiswrapper?

Blessed be!

root_tux_linux,

What kernel version ?
Ad-hoc mode for rt73usb is not in 2.6.25. It was planned for 2.6.26 but I don't know if it made it.

If you do need a kernel update, you may as well go to the testing gentoo-sources, thats 2.6.27-r2 now, which has improved power management for rt73usb over 2.6.26.

You don't need to use wpa_supplicant .

You can use rt73usb with the RutilT graphic utility.
It handles WEP, WPA, WPA2 without the need to mess with wpa_supllicant.
Also I'd get an hourly tarball instead of the kernel built in module.


Get RutilT here http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads
