 |
|
I've just bought a new laptop with an Intel Pro Wireless 2200 wifi card and I can't get it to connect to my wireless router. I have the drivers loaded etc, and wpa_gui shows the laptop associating with the router, but it almost instantly disconnects and just keeps going round in circles.
I've tried using static IP addresses and DHCP, but the laptop still never gets an IP address, it just associates and disconnects.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/net (eth1 is the wireless interface):
| Code: |
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_eth1=60
config_eth0=( "10.0.0.5 netmask 255.0.0.0 brd 10.255.255.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 10.0.0.2" )
#config_eth1=( "10.0.0.6 netmask 255.0.0.0 brd 10.255.255.255" )
#routes_eth1=( "default gw 10.0.0.2" )
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
|
and here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="HOME_AP"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
psk="********"
}
|
This is the first time I have tried to get wifi working in Linux and it's driving me mad, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ColdFusion

OK, if I switch off WPA on the router (i.e. allow anyone access), it connects straight away and works like a charm. Obviously, I dont want to leave my router unsecured though, so I still need to get WPA working.
Any Ideas? |

| Well somehow, it' all working now. Not entirely sure what I did, but I think I had left out some options in my kernel config which were required for WPA. |
