 |
|
I cannot connect to my WEP encrypted access point.
This is the output of /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
| Quote: |
ferrari3200 ~ # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Starting wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* wlan0 connected to "morrell" at 00:06:25:D9:50:AB
* Bringing up wlan0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ... [ !! ]
|
here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file:
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="morrell"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=<hex wep key>
wep_tx_keyidx=0
}
|
I appreciate the help |

wpa_supplicant can be a real PITA - even more in combination with WEP and dhcp
Are you sure you need it? If you only want to connect to a WEP-AP stick with
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup#Configuration_using_iwconfig
Why risk something by introducing unnecessary programms [KISS=keep it simple stupid  ]
Anyway, for more help I need more info:
What version of baselayout, dhcp, wpa_supplicant and which card are you using?
Please post your /etc/conf.d/net and output of
EDIT:
| Code: | ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -D<your-driver> -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd |
Have you tried to asign a staticIP? Sometimes wpa_supplicant or dhcp times out to fast |

And, no I have not tried to assign a static ip, but ill see if that works
EDIT
I tried to assign a static IP and it said that it succeeded, however i was not even able to ping my router, so it did not succeed
I assigned a static ip by changing "config_wlan0=("dhcp") to "config_wlan0=("192.168.1.107") |

An alternative is to try
modules=( "iwconfig" )
key_ap=( " insert it here " )
this avoids wpa_supplicant. |

| yeah, I know I could use something besides wpa_supplicant, but I want to have the option of accessing wpa encrypted APs if I so choose. And, I would rather not have to install two separate software packages simply to connect to the internet wirelessly. That seems kindof stupid |

| ok, so i read through the bug report you sent me to, but there is no solution yet. It seems like they are still trying to work through it also. So are you trying to tell me that there is no solution to my problem yet and that I just need to bite the bullet and go w/ iwconfig??? |

Confirmed with D-Link DWL-650 using madwifi. Works like a charme.
Broadcom AirForce One using ndiswrapper failed miserably!
| Code: | Test-Setup:
WEP-128bit
HEX-pw
Installed packages:
sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13-r1
net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.4.5
net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.5 (~x86)
EDIT:
also no luck using
net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.2
net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.7 (~x86) |
