 |
|
Hi guys.
I would like to setup my atheros wifi card.
The hardware is recognized, wicd tells me which network I can connect to (so, this looks like a software problem, not hardware). The problem is that I can't enter any encryption passphrase or whatever !
When I look at a network properties, the network encryption is disabled.
How can I solve this ? What type of informations do you need ?
Thanks !

I am using the current kde desktop, with wicd to manage my network.
I have a wired eth cart, and an atheros wireless card.
I haven't setup wpa-supplicant, as wicd is supposed to build its own conf, but I have the software. Wicd have also wext to mange that, except that I don't know what it is.

Just checking that you have run | Code: | | rc-update add wicd deafult |
A good test would be to disable security on your network for a few moments and see if you can connect using the wicd gui.
For security you might turn off everything else on you network and run a firewall on your computer during the test.
Then again if you run the test quickly, that might not be necessary. |

Of course, I have wicd running as daemon... 
When disabling security (disabling wpa in wifi access point management), I can connect with the wifi.
So, this is really a problem concerning wpa and encryption !
I didn't disabled my firewall during that test.

| Can you connect using the command line? (ipconfig and iwconfig with wep) (wpa_supplicant also needed with wpa.) |

On suggestion from the strange person named after the even more strange name nlsa8z6zoz7lyih3ap, I tried to connect manually ... I succed ! (this is one wired thing ! )
Except that's so hard.
I followed the wiki there :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup#Manual_setup
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_Supplicant
So, I created a wpa_supplicant.conf, filed with the ssid passphrase.
Set my wlan0 cart up, then tell it to connect my network, tell wpa_supplicant to run (according to the wiki), and then ask for dhcpcd to request an address.
this give that :
| Code: |
20:36 root@luciole ~ # iwconfig wlan0 essid 22decembre
20:43 root@luciole ~ # nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
20:44 root@luciole ~ # wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCSIWSCAN]: Device or resource busy
Failed to initiate AP scan.
Trying to associate with b8:a3:86:54:87:78 (SSID='22decembre' freq=2412 MHz)
Associated with b8:a3:86:54:87:78
WPA: Key negotiation completed with b8:a3:86:54:87:78 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to b8:a3:86:54:87:78 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=]
|
the command line is still up ! I need a second command line :
| Code: | 20:47 root@luciole ~ # dhcpcd wlan0
dhcpcd[4695]: version 5.2.12 starting
dhcpcd[4695]: wlan0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[4695]: wlan0: offered 192.168.0.113 from 192.168.0.2 `einstein.22decembre.eu'

The good news is that I am on the way ! The bad news is that I don't know how to make wicd able to manage that !
