LinuxQuestions.org - wpa_supplicant, ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported

Hi,

I am trying to connect to an IEEE 802.1X Wi-Fi with dynamic WEP keys using EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2. So I configured my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf like this:

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=forrest



network={

        ssid="TTUnet"

        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X

        eap=PEAP

        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"

        identity="TTU\sbao"

        password="I can't let you know this, hahah."

}

But when starting wpa_supplicant in the command:

Code:

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

， I saw a line

Code:

ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported

in terminal output.

And then, I saw some failure information repeated on the terminal.

Can anyone tell me why "Operation not supported"? What are possible reasons of this error assert?

This output on the terminal is:

Code:

forrest@dolphin:/forrest$  sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
