I've got my wireless card working in Debian 4 with wep, but cant get it to work with WPA. I've installed ieee80211 and ipw3945. I've looked at the install file for ieee80211 and it says to ....

If you wish to enable WPA support, you also need to enable the following Crypto
library modules (in addition to those required for WEP above):

Michael MIC (CONFIG_CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC)
AES (CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_586)

But i cant figure out where to do that. I've looked in the makefile but couldnt find those lines. I found a line that says to uncomment a line out for WPA support but it doesnt have any commented lines. I've got kernel 2.6.8-4-686 with 1.2-15 of ieee80211. What am i doing wrong?

Ok i think i found it. They are in this file if anyone needs to do the same thing

/lib/modules/2.*/build/include/linux/autoconf.h

Ok well i uncommented those lines out but i still dont have WPA support. Do i have to recompile ipw3945? I just recompiled ieee80211. I will mess with it more later.

If you have a recent kernel, you need not replace the ieee08211 stack. Just build and install the ipw3945 driver, regulatory daemon and firmware.

Debian even has module packages for every kernel image they supply, so you dont even need to compile it for the ipw driver.

So if i dont have to compile anything, what do i have to do to get WPA support? I've got the card working, it just doesn't support WPA

Is wpa_supplicant installed? Is it running?

Post the command line you're using to call wpa_supplicant or the output of ps aux |grep wpa_supplicant

Run wpa_supplicant in the foreground mode with extra verbosity and post the errors.

Post your wpa_supplicant.conf file.
