setting up broadcom
Hello Pappy id like to thank u for this , im on slackware 12 , was wondering it its the same , because i get to the point where i have to Type "wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d, and i get stuck at EAPOL: startWhen --> 0 and it freezes there ???
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:13:46:a4:c6:8a [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP] Cancelling authentication timeout State: GROUP_HANDSHAKE -> COMPLETED EAPOL: External notification - portValid=1 EAPOL: External notification - EAP success=1 EAP: EAP entering state DISABLED |
I ran across the same problem. What I did was to run wpa_cli when the output of the wpa_supplicant stops. I then entered the "passphrase *ssid* *passphrase*" command and everything went honky dory. The wpa_supplicant output started to repeat itself and then I hit cntrl-C in that window. Everything else went on without a hitch. Thanks Pappy for your excellent help!!

Thank you!!!

Blessings to you. |
Hey! I have an Acer Aspire 3680 and am running Kubuntu 8.10. I didn't follow your how tow, but then again, that was because I hadn't come across it at the time. However, the steps I performed are the same as 2 of yours, finding the XP Driver and installing ndiswrapper. Prior to that I changed my network manager to Wicd, and that supports WPA, so I didn't install wpa_supplicant.
Excellent how to. Much easier to follow than the ones I came across. I ended up finding multiple instructions that I had to piece together. Wasn't easy being new to linux. This forum is great! |
whenever i get to the "make" command for ndiswrapper i get this error
make[3]: *** [/root/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver/iw_ndis.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [_module_/root/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.7' make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver' make: *** [all] Error 2 any advise? |
