WPA & ipw2200

havelino · 02-08-2005, 04:16 AM

Hey peapz,

Running On a Debian kernel 2.6.10
wlsscard Intel ipw2200 (duh)

I installed the driver and firmware and i think it's working fine.

HUGOL:~# dmesg | grep ipw2200
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0

HUGOL:~# ifconfig

wpa_supplicant v0.3.2

The problem is that I just can't use the card with WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption.
Error message of wpa_supplicant
wpa_driver_hostap_set_key: alg=none key_idx=0 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
Failed to set encryption.

I thought that wpa was supported by now.

wpa_config_file:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # for wpa_cli support
eapol_version=1
network={
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
ssid="***********"
psk="************"
}

Or do I have to wait just everyone else.

If you know this type of encryption should work you're using a wrong way to call it. Otherwise I guess you'll have to wait

To set the key try iwconfig eth0 key ******. I've got the 2200 and that works for me.

Yes I know that this is the type off encryption.

WPA Pre Shared Key.
but it isn't working even if I set the key and the essid.

hello,
i installed ipw2200 driver using make...
... and it was a success - proofed by xsupplicant (ttls - pap --> dynamic wep).
but using my own accespoint drives me crazy.
ok, here is some info:
AccesPoint: DLINK DWL 2000 AP:

I started wpasupplicant with following config:

Code:

network={
        proto=WPA
#       bssid=00:0d:88:87:80:3b
        ssid="efabiff"

        psk="unddasistauchgutso"
}
#ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # for wpa_cli support

Ok, now the debug log:

what did i wrong? (don't really know if this is quiet good english - i'm sorry for it)

i see one maybe existing problem:
the scanresults shows the ethernet mac address of the ap. dont know if this is the normal way.?.?.?
i did the folowing to proof the ap info output:

Code:

[root@localhost wpa_supplicant-0.3.8]# ping 192.168.0.50

Hello,

I have ipw2200 and wpa_supplicant working w/ Slackware 10.1. I can't get dhcpcd to reliably set an IP address.
For anyone currious about the set up my wpa_supplicant.conf file:

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
ssid="backwoods"
proto=WPA 
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP 
group=TKIP
psk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
}

The xxx's are my key
I run it up with the following in my rc.wireless script.

Code:

/usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i eth0 -D ipw

I have $INTERFACE for eth0 in my script but the above in a comandline will give the same results.
All works great. During boot rc.init1 runs my rc.wireless and Bob is my uncle. Then I try to get an IP via dhcpcd eth0 and somtimes my AP works great. I can't get it to happen reliably. Sometimes works others it just times out.
Ideas?
Thanx,
Feend
