I have a laptop with wifi card ipw3945.
KERNEL -> 2.6.21-suspend2-r4
.config ->


    CONFIG_IEEE80211=m
    # CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG is not set
    CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=m
    CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=m
    CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP=m
    # CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC is not set

But there isn't wifi connection on router's filelog.And I can't connect.

    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

    ap_scan=1

    network={

    key_mgmt=NONE
    wep_key0=44846E6260
    wep_tx_keyidx=0
    priority=5
    }



Wifi LED is ON :(
I think that's all.
I'd try with WPA, WPA-PSK,WEP but no connection on.
I have try to connect a "wifi point without any protection", work perfectly.

I have the following configuration and it works. I have heard that there are issues with WEP using the ipw3945 driver so I would use WPA if you can. I used wpa_passphrase to generate the psk value in wpa_supplicant.conf


/etc/conf.d/net

wpa_supplicant_eth1=( "-Dwext" )
modules_eth1=( "wpa_supplicant" "!plug" )
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 15"


/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

network={
ssid="AP01"
psk=6a26f90646e06f4fb049b6876c7f2c31f0cd9f3016a656343901bf9ba466fd64
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
priority=9
}

I never had issues with WEP and ipw3945, but I also never managed to get it to work with wpa_supplicant. Can you associate manually via iwconfig?

Well, it seems to associate... What are you connecting to; is there a dhcp server supposed to be running? If so, can you try to manually obtain an IP via a dhcp client like dhcpcd?

I solved ipw3945 problem with upgrading kernel from suspend2 to gentoo-sources 2.6.20-r8.
Recompile kernel with ieee802111 built. (ieee80211, ieee80211_crypt, ieee80211_crypt_wep, ieee80211_crypt_tkip, ieee80211_ccmp)
Wpa_supplicant work perfectly.
