PostPosted: Fri Feb 05, 2010 2:57 am    Post subject: Hi, WPA wireless issue? Reply with quote

I use a self-compiled kernel from gentoo-sources without genkernel for my eeepc 900HD computer. Wireless works fine for the most part, however, there are some issues with it. I cannot connect to WPA networks. I am using a B usb wireless device to connect now. I posted the results of connecting to my internal wireless with wpa_supplicant. http://pastebin.com/d3ce9dda5 Help would be appreciated.

Can you plug your USB device and post this after that :

Code:

# lsusb
# dmesg | tail

Sure, the usb device works fine, the internal PCI device does not.

Could you post the various things to pastebin again? The links have expired. Also your wpa_supplicant.conf might be an idea :-)

Alright. They are indeed gone. Let me post them again.

Post your /etc/conf.d/net and your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf too.

1st:
Code:
CONFIG_ZD1211RW=y
# CONFIG_ZD1211RW_DEBUG is not set


2nd:
Code:
Module                  Size  Used by
gspca_main             18848  0
snd_hda_codec_realtek   184224  1
snd_hda_intel          22796  0
snd_hda_codec          49096  2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               6184  1 snd_hda_codec


Most of my features are built in the kernel, rather than being modules. I just find it more convenient.

wpa_supplicant:
Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
network={
   ssid="linksys"
   #psk="jeanette"
   psk=81374e9bb9bd2c373d6b4554653514c5be4232f9df9ab5dcf3a8208ddc39c195
}


/etc/conf.d/net:
Code:

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )

wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dwext"

Ok, can you post this :

Code:

# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# iwlist scan
# dmesg | tail


For the record, I use this for a wpa2 encryption router :

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
#update_config=1

network={
   ssid="your_ssid"
   psk="my_passphrase"
   proto=WPA2
   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
   pairwise=CCMP
   group=CCMP
   priority=5
}


Finally, this is my /etc/conf.d/net :

Code:

#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

Wouldn't the iwconfig and iwlist commands only work, if you have wireless-tools installed?
An alternative to iwlist scan is
Code:
wpa_cli -> scan -> list

Yes, it's part of wireless-tools, but you can have both on your box, I mean wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant.

Not using the usb now, I am using the internal wireless. The internal wireless does not work with WPA. The USB works just fine.

Anyway, I'm posting the results in order of which you asked for them:

Hi, when you try to connect with your internal card, can you post this :

Code:

# dmesg | tail
# wpa_cli status
