 |
|
Greetings,
I have configured my Gentoo box as a wireless access point using madwifi-ng and hostapd but it is using WPA and not WPA2 encryption. Here is my hostapd.conf file...
| Code: | interface=ath0
bridge=br0
driver=madwifi
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=1
debug=0
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
ssid=MyNetwork
macaddr_acl=0
accept_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.accept
deny_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.deny
auth_algs=1
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=MyPassphase
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP |
I have tried the following configurations with limited success...
What I mean by limited success is that in the "Wireless Network Connection" window in WinXP it shows my network as WPA2 but when I try to connect it doesn't connect.
My network card is a D-Link DWL-G520
Anyone know what to do? |

I just had a bit of success configuring the hostapd.conf file with:
| Code: |
##### WPA/IEEE 802.11i configuration ##########################################
# Enable WPA. Setting this variable configures the AP to require WPA (either
# WPA-PSK or WPA-RADIUS/EAP based on other configuration). For WPA-PSK, either
# wpa_psk or wpa_passphrase must be set and wpa_key_mgmt must include WPA-PSK.
# For WPA-RADIUS/EAP, ieee8021x must be set (but without dynamic WEP keys),
# RADIUS authentication server must be configured, and WPA-EAP must be included
# in wpa_key_mgmt.
# This field is a bit field that can be used to enable WPA (IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
# and/or WPA2 (full IEEE 802.11i/RSN):
# bit0 = WPA
# bit1 = IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) (dot11RSNAEnabled)
wpa=10
|
Seemed to work in wpa2 but I need the device in managed mode 
Hope you are still around. |

I think I was having this problem. I solved it by using:
| Code: | auth_algs=1
wpa=2 # for WPA2 |
and adding these 2 extra lines:
| Code: | ieee8021x=0
eap_server=0 |
You can also use this for better encryption:
| Code: | rsn_pairwise=CCMP
#wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP # comment this line out |

You might also check your kernel configuration to ensure you have AES encryption enabled.

Are you referring to the following?
| Code: | CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_586=y |
