Hi Roger,
I tried wpa_supplicant alone. But it didnt work out. I think
wpa_supplicant do not support IPW2200 (Intel Pro wireless 2200 BG driver).
So i tried your way.
1. Removed the ipw2200 driver which i installed before.
2. Updated the kernel from 2.6.9-1.667 to 2.6.9-1.667-stk16 (now stack is
16K).
3. Downloaded the windows XP driver(8.1.1.0) for my INtel pro wireless
card from sourceforge.net site.
4. Then downloaded the NDISWrapper 0.11 and installed the driver.
5. ndiswrapper -l displayed
Installed ndis drivers:
w22n51 driver present, hardware present
6. Checked the system log by dmesg:
(I think that also works fine.. i saw wlan0 driver loaded and i could
see the mac address also)
7. Compiled the wpa_supplicant (0.2.5.tar.gz) and installed it
successfully. (created a conf file as given in ndiswrapper website).
anyway i have given here: (/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf)
---------------
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # for wpa_cli support
network={
ssid="Madhan"
psk="my_password"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
}
---------------
8. typed: ifconfig wlan0 up
9. then typed: wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
I think i get some authentication time out: (output is here)
