not much information that you posted.

First, what is your wpa_supplicant.conf? (remember to remove your security key)

Second, it looks liek it is trying to connect to BobbyBar, fails, then BobbysBar, fails, BTOpenzone, fails, Wifi Zone - The Cloud, fails and you cancelled it. In other words, it is trying to connect to ALL wireless networks it can find, which indicates that you possibly have not configured the wpa_supplicant.conf file. If you configured wap_supplicant.conf properly, is your wireless router broadcasting the SSID? For wpa_supplicant to work, it has to broadcast the SSID.

Hope this helps.

Hi, your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf should be like this :

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0

network={
   key_mgmt=NONE
   priority=-9999999
}

network={
   ssid="BobbysBar"
   psk="Your_PSK"
   proto=WPA
   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
   pairwise=TKIP
   group=TKIP
   priority=5
}

And your /etc/conf.d/net should be like this too :

Code:

#WPA_SUPPLICANT

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )

I'd take it a step further remove the "iwconfig" module from the equation. I never had any luck with WPA using the "iwconfig" module. Also, make the modules line interface specific:

Code:
modules_eth1=( "!iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )

I don't have a problem with that, I think that his problem is only a config thing, it's not the kernel or something else.

I agree. There wouldn't be any scan results if it was kernel or module problem. That damn iwconfig module is a deal killer with WPA on every Gentoo wireless install I've ever done.

Thanks for all the advice but still no joy with or without iwconfig.

any ideas for a all round good card that supports injection, may just buy a much easyer device as have been messing around with this thing for months, and it's not like i can use aircrack with it.
