Hi everyone,

i've got some problems with my w-lan. it works, but it doesn't work properly. i've got a wg311v3 wireless card. it's installed properly using ndiswrapper. i use wpa supplicant to connect to my network.

that's my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=users
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
        key_mgmt=NONE
        priority=-9999999
}

network={
        ssid="Vogel"
        scan_ssid=1
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        psk="MyKey"
        priority=1


and my /etc/conf.d/net
Code:
modules_wlan0=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-D wext"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=60


every time i use the init-skript (/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start) to connect to my network it doesn't work

Code:
 * Stopping wlan0
 *   Loading networking modules for wlan0
 *     modules: apipa arping ccwgroup macchanger macnet rename iwconfig wpa_supplicant essidnet iptunnel ifconfig system dhcpcd ip6to4
 *   Bringing down wlan0
 *     Stopping dhcpcd on wlan0 ...                                                                                                      [ ok ]
 *     Shutting down wlan0 ...                                                                                                           [ ok ]
 * Starting wlan0
 *   Loading networking modules for wlan0
 *     modules: apipa arping ccwgroup macchanger macnet rename wpa_supplicant essidnet iptunnel ifconfig system dhcpcd ip6to4
 *       wpa_supplicant provides wireless
 *       ifconfig provides interface
 *       dhcpcd provides dhcp
 *   Configuring wlan0 for MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 ...                                                                             [ ok ]
 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...                                                                                                [ ok ]
 *   Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ...                                                                                                       [ ok ]
 *     Waiting for association                                                                                                           [ ok ]
 *     Backgrounding ...



Code:
wpa_cli status

Selected interface 'wlan0'
bssid=06:1b:2f:3e:e0:9d
ssid=Vogel
id=1
pairwise_cipher=TKIP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_state=GROUP_HANDSHAKE


wpa_state changes between GROUP_HANDSHAKE and SCANNING but won't go to COMPLETED

But if I start wpa_supplicant myself it works.

Code:
wpa_cli terminate
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
dhcpcd wlan0

wpa_cli status
Selected interface 'wlan0'
bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00
ssid=Vogel
id=1
pairwise_cipher=TKIP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=192.168.2.39


Has anybody got a clue what i am doing wrong?
Thank for your help guys

I used to have the same problem. Didn't figure out how to fix it correctly, but to get it to work I simply opened up the GUI once I had logged into a graphical interface (KDE, for me). Literally, all I had to do was open up the GUI (I did it from the KMenu) and it automatically was able to detect the settings after a moment or two of thinking.
