 Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 10:09 am Post subject: WPA2 won't associate: RT2860 (eee pc 901) WEP works [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I've got gentoo running on my EEE PC 901, but I'm having trouble getting onto the WPA2 network at work. I can get on my home network just fine, which has a rather ancient WEP-based access point.
I've set the machine up to use ifplugd and wpa_supplicant (I'm not using networkmonitor) but when I try and associate manually with wpa_supplicant (I've stopped ifplugd first) it says "Authentication timed out"
I'm using kernel 2-6-29-gentoo-r1 and the staging driver from the kernel tree.
It sounds like this problem, but I've checked the makefile in the kernel source directory for the module, and it does contain -DWPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT.
The output of wpa_supplicant is here.
My wpa_supplicant.conf is here.
My emerge --info is here.
My kernel .config is here.
My /etc/conf.d/net contains nothing but comments
The output of iwlist scan is here.
Hope someone can help!  -- Thanks...

Try this:
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=0
network={
mode=0
ssid="blahblah"
scan_ssid=0
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="thisisasecret"
}
|
Which works with my Asus eee 1000. |

Thanks, but it does the same thing.
What kernel and driver are you using? Some further googling suggests there may be some problems with the staging driver in 2.6.29.

It worked with something like 2.6.29_rc2. But anyway, it works fine with 2.6.29.1
This is the in-kernel rt280sta
Maybe this snippet is useful:
| Code: | grep -i WIRE .config
CONFIG_WIRELESS=y
CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY=y
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS=y |

I had those options in my kernel... But in the end, I fixed it by installing the driver from the ralink site, instead of the in-kernel staging one.
Thanks for the help!
