WPA-PSK mixed mode?

Hi Experts,

I am using wpa-supplicant client and trying to connect a mixed-mode profile to a wireless router. But authentication failed. I am not sure id the profile configuration is correct.

Can you please tell me, is the below configuration is correct.

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA2
pairwise=CCMP
group=TKIP

Thanks
Annada

Just as a place to start, because it will rule out so many other possible issues, would you first try to connect to an unencrypted wireless AP ? If you can do this, then we can restrict the problem solving effort to your configuration of wpa_supplicant

proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40

That's what I use, and it works. Make sure you run wpa_passphrase over your chosen secret in the form
wpa_passphrase Your_essid Your_passphrase

It will give you back a longer one. Use that.
