Madwifi / wpa_supplicant on Kanotix (debian3.1)
hi all,
i've got my 3com 3CRDAG675 (54g pci) card using the madwifi drivers up and running (out of the box, so to speak), but am struggling with encryption...
following the instructions on the "Setting up a Client Using WPA-PSK" page at madwifi.sourceforge i have:
- set my passphrase on the wireless router
- created my simple /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file
- inserted my hex passphrase and SSID into this file, as described on the website
- executed (as root) wpa_supplicant -Bw -d -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 ifup ath0
which gives:
"Initializing interface 'ath0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'madwifi'
Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
Priority group 0
id=0 ssid='MYSSID'
Daemonize.."
and my question is; whats next? I've run (not sure why) wpa_cli -iath0 which says
"<License stuff>
Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying" and hangs
any thoughts or pointers appreciated.
Matt
