Dear all!
I have the following problem with wpa supplicant/ipw3945. First the
versions:
kernel: 2.6.18-mm2 (self compiled)
ieee80211: 1.1.14
ipw3945: git source
ipw3945d: 1.7.19
wpa supplicant: 0.5.5 (Debian/unstable 0.5.5-1)
Config file of wpa_supplicant:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="norbunet"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0=HEXKEY1
wep_key1=HEXKEY2
wep_key2=HEXKEY3
wep_key3=HEXKEY4
wep_tx_keyidx=0
priority=5
}
When I start ipw3945d and wpa_supplicant it does not connect. And the
reason is that when typing
iwconfig eth2
(eth0 cable, eth1 not present!?!, eth2 ipw3945) I see that the ESSID is
set to
"norbune"
instead of
"norbunet"
Calling
iwconfig eth2 essid "norbunet "
(mind the space at the end) immediately connects (even with encryption)
and everything is working.
Do you have any idea what this might be related to?
The last kernel I tried which worked out of the box (well, with
comnpiling ieee and ipw) was 2.6.18-rc4.
Hi Norbert,
we've been just through an email thread where it has been
determined that wpa_supplicant 0.4.9 (I would assume that
0.5.5 is also okay) and wireless-tools from Jean's latest
tarball are necessary to work with the recent wireless
extensions v21 that have been merged in.
What wireless-tools are you using ?
Ciao,
