A little help with WPA-TKIP plz
I have Fedora 9 installed on a laptop with a Dlin DWL650 PC card.
If I turn off all encryption on my wireless access point, it connects perfectly right out of the box (without ndiswrapper). I normally use WPA-Personal with TKIP and a passphrase. I am struggling get the working. 1) Do I allow the device to be controlled my network manager? 2) what should my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file look like? 3) Is there some order of events that needs to be observed? 4) Do I fill anything in the KEY field in the wireless tab of the Network Configuration tool? Again, adapter was recognized fine and works unencrypted. I am just not knowledgable of the wpa_supplicant stuff. Thanks. |

also see the section on configuration near the bottom of that page, plus this page: http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitw...upplicant.conf That is generic wpa_supplicant information; I have no idea how wpa_supplicant is integrated with RH. [edit] The WPA-PSK/TKIP specific example: http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitw...-psk-tkip.conf Of course you don't really want to have: psk="secret passphrase" - that's just begging for trouble. Instead, you want to create an obfuscated key: wpapassphrase "My EsSiD" "My secret passphrase" That will print out a stanza which you can just plug into the wpa_supplicant configuration file. Personally I just copy and paste the obfuscated key (the line with a very long string) and ignore the rest of the stanza. For RH-specific stuff, have a look near the bottom of this page ("Startting wpa_supplicant"): http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Wpa_supplicant |
