On my router I've setup WPA.
And... /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart gives me:
| Code: | net.wlan0 | * Bringing down interface wlan0
net.wlan0 | * Stopping wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf :
| Code: | | CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys |
/etc/conf.d/net | Code: | modules=("wpa_supplicant")

# scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="MyPass"
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP CCMP WEP104
priority=2
} |
in wpa_gui I can see my network, but connection can't be established.
lsmod shows ipw3945, ieee80211, ieee80211_crypt_tkip, ieee80211_crypt_ccmp, ieee80211_crypt_wep
Windows machines can connect to the AP without any problems.
On them, I've setup security type: WPA-PERSONAL, cryptography: TKIP, set the password, and it works.
What can I do ... ?

| Try re-emerging wireless-tools. Have you upgraded kernels or wireless drivers recently? |

I've tried reinstalling wpa_supplicant and wireless-tools, even tried using madwifi, and ipw drivers... didn't work.
I don't use wireless tools, cause my AP is WPA-secured.
Kernel and drivers - maybe they were upgraded, but I try to make WiFi work just for 2 days.
Before I didn't have access do wireless network.
When wpa_supplicant is run with -d option (debuging), then I can see my network, even it's SSID is scanned... but can't connect. |

Which version of ipw3945 do you have? 1.2.2 cant connect to hidden Wlans here (1.2.0 can).
And why do you have wlan0? Normally the ipw3945-driver uses ethx
Did you emerge the iwlwifi driver too, it makes wlan0 (but does not work stable for me)?
You have to choose one driver.
My wpa_supplicant.conf with ipw3945-1.2.2, not hidden AP and WPA TKIP looks like this:
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
update_config=0
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="censored"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="secret"
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
priority=5

You say you don't use wireless tools but you have this option set: | Code: | | wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext" |
Which i believe means you are telling wpa_supplicant to use wireless tools to connect. |

-Dwext is the kind of driver which is used by wpa_supplicant. Wext means that it supports most of wifi cards that have 'wireless extensions'.

And that was it ! I've changed router's setting to not hide SSID, and now everything works, like a charm.
I have wlan0, because sometimes I use eht0 (usb cable modem) and I have eth1 also. So to eliminate interferences with interface names, i've put some udev options to do the work.
Thank You. |

-Dwext is the kind of driver which is used by wpa_supplicant. Wext means that it supports most of wifi cards that have 'wireless extensions'.. |
Exactly. WIreless tools are userspace tools to manipulate wireless extensions based drivers. So when you specify Dwext you are specifying that wpa_supplicant connects using wireless extensions. The messages that looks like the following is from wireless tools:
| Code: | net.wlan0 |ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Resource temporarily unavailable
net.wlan0 |ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Resource temporarily unavailable
net.wlan0 |ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Resource temporarily unavailable
net.wlan0 |ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Resource temporarily unavailable |
That's why I suggest re-emerging wireless tools. Sometimes there is a mismatch between the kernel wireless extensions version and the wireless tools package and that causes all kinds of errors. |

Why does 1.2.2 not connect to hidden wlans? I can get it to connect, as long as I issue the command
| Code: | | iwconfig eth1 essid <realssid> |
I find it quite annoying to have to enter it every time I boot. The other problem I have is that if I try and mask version 1.2.2, portage somehow ignores that I've masked it in package.mask.

Masking works here
| Code: | | echo =net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2 >> /etc/portage/package.mask |

And
| Code: | | iwconfig eth1 essid <realssid> |
works here too, I put it in /etc/conf.d/net, so I don´t have to enter it manually after booting.
Thank you!

I found the reason for my problem. I had ipw3945 in package.unmask, as well as =net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2 in package.mask. When I removed ipw3945 from package.unmask, it worked correctly and allowed me to mask ipw3945-1.2.2.

hello all,
i have the same problem with the connection to a network.
as it seems i cant connect to any network until enter sudo iwconfig essid <anyletters!>.
after i entered this command wicd can connect to my network.
it doesnt matter if the essid i enter exists or not. this command seems to trigger
some sort of hardware-reset since turning my wlan off and on with my hardware-trigger
has the same effect.
as far as i read, the solution is to enter the command in /etc/conf.d/net.
is that right or is there already another solution? (didnt understand that mask and unmask).
best,
stevie |
