Hi,

I"m trying to run wpa_supplicant. It will not associate with the wifi, which is wpa2-psk.

I think the driver is bit buggy as well, as i have to kick it out of modules for the wpa_suppicant to start working w/out errors.

My config files:
lspci:
06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)

kernel:

CONFIG_IWLWIFI=m
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING is not set
CONFIG_IWLAGN=m
CONFIG_IWL4965=y
# CONFIG_IWL5000 is not set
# CONFIG_IWL3945 is not set
# CONFIG_IWM is not set
# CONFIG_LIBERTAS is not set
# CONFIG_HERMES is not set
# CONFIG_P54_COMMON is not set
# CONFIG_RT2X00 is not set
# CONFIG_WL12XX is not set
# CONFIG_ZD1211RW is not set

iwlist scan is working fine. Found sourrounding wifi, including mine.

wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
ssid="hallo"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=encrypted

# psk="ascii"
}



/etc/conf.d/net:

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )

wpa_supplicant_wlan0=( "-Dnl80211" )


/etc/init.d/ has net.wlan0

Pls advise, i'm not sure what's wrong. Compiled KDE and supplicant_gui will not show adaptors as well


thank you!

Code:
wpa_supplicant_wlan0=( "-Dnl80211" )

That one surprises me. All intel wifi adapters I've used had
Code:
wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext

Hi,

Manged to get connected to the wpa2 router.

I still got some issues:

1) on startup of the wpa i get errors like:

SICSIFFLAGS: unknown error 132
and dmesg says wlan0: link is not ready, i assume it's only because the wlan0 is not ready fast enough while wpa starts up ?

oh yeh, i've changed the driver as you have advised. works nice ;)

thanks
