I just got my installtion done, drivers are installed system is showing interface.
but got in other problem, in "lwlist scanning" i see my network, signal quality level, noise level, encryption and other details. My network has WPA and TKIP.
I have assigned SSID, key and AP on my card but i dont see it connected neither got IP.


any ideas?

Thanks.

How are your assigning them? Any error messages? What do your logs say? What are the outputs of iwconfig and ifconfig? We need details.

This is what I did....

iwconfig eth0 ap MAC ADD
iwconfig eth0 essid MyNet
iwconfig eth0 key s:mykey

This is the output....

I need ecnryption on wireless so wireless is with WPA TKIP.
I installed wpa_supplicant-0.4.9, but its not working.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, that is where we need to focus because I don't think that iwconfig can handle WPA encryption without wpa_supplicant. The driver is certainly working because you are associated with your access point (however it would be useful to know what driver and distro you're using). I bet if you temporarily turned off encryption, you could get a working connection.

Is there any other effective way to implement WPA/TKIP on linux.

wpa_supplicant is the only way I know of to connect to a WPA network. Once you have it setup correctly, it works great, at least it does for me.
