xsupplicant problems

y0shi · 10-18-2004, 09:19 AM

finaly got everything working in suse 9.1 so i figured i'de delete and do a clean install, now that i know how to configure everything on the first try... but now of course i have an issue.

i'm using the newst version of xsupplicant but cannot install it.. i get an error about missing or corrupted openssl library's. ( and previous to that it says it cannot find openssl ) well i have the latest openssl configured compiled and installed.... do i need to make a copy of something and put it some where? or a link ? i'm guessing xsupp is looking for something that isn't where it used to be... and i don't think i could uninstall openssl...wouldn't know where to begin, to use an older version.

ahh too lazy to go edit above... the exact error is :

Code:

configure: WARNING: The Opden SSL Library development tree seems corrupted or incomplete!
 Download, compile, and, optionaly, install it.
 When finished please re-run this program.
configure: error: You can download the latest source tarball at http://www.openssl.org/

edit #1: okay found a step in the right direction: need to install the devel package...lets see how much this helps

edit #2: okay issue @1 is fixed... now there is a new one: make[2]: yacc: command not found...prolly have to install more packages...*sigh* shoulda just bought suse 9.1 pro...lol.

edit #3: okay well searching in these forums for "yacc: command not found" takes ages and ages...so tonight i'll plug into my router and just download/install every single rpm from suse 9.1 pro....*blah not really, but i should* so still waiting to find out whats up

2Gnu · 10-18-2004, 10:06 AM

There is a 0.8 version rpm on rpmfind.net for SuSE. Unfortunately, the only 1.0 I could find was for Mandrake.

edit:
yacc = yet another compiler-compiler

Translation: in order to compile from source, you need the SuSE development packages to be installed. They include a compiler, kernel source & headers and the various packages like make which allow you to turn the source (such as C) into something that will run on your machine.

Installing all of the stuff on the CD will certainly work, but I suspect YaST has an option to install 'development stuff' that would suffice.

y0shi · 10-18-2004, 10:19 AM

yea i have most of the development packages installed now.. buut i'm ON campus now so i can't use yast...seeing as how it's not online. i have gcc, make, kernels source, openssl devel and stuff all installed and working.... just need to find yacc...*edit: err what package yacc is in.

blah i'll just download/install all the devel packages when i get home..too much to run through with out yast right now. ty for the suggestion.

right now i'm on a desktop @ work wired to the network ftp'n rpm's....putting them on a test server...then dual booting windows on my laptop and wirelessly connecting to the test server and downloading the rpms'...booting back into linux and taking them off the windows partition. ( the wireless here doesn't support ftp )...so mebbe i should just plug my laptop into the router... hrmm *follows cable*

ahh whee... okay...still stuck :-\

of course, now i'm having the issue many people are having, cannot set the essid....and uhh well basically just not connected. here is the config i'm using to connect to the network :

Code:

network_list = all
default_netname = default
allow_interfaces = wlan0

logfile = /var/log/xsupplicant.log

startup_command = <BEGIN_COMMAND>dhclient %i<END_COMMAND>
#first_auth_command = <BEGIN_COMMAND>dhclient %i<END_COMMAND>

default {

  allow_types = all

  identity = <BEGIN_ID>mmcgann@BSC<END_ID>

  eap-peap {
      root_cert = /etc/wlancert/bsc_cert.pem
      chunk_size = 1398
      random_file = /dev/urandom
     # cncheck = radiusserver.mynet.net         
     # cnexact = yes
      session_resume = no

      eap-mschapv2 {
        username = <BEGIN_UNAME>mmcgann<END_UNAME>
        password = <BEGIN_PASS>password<END_PASS>

      }
  }
}

Wireless
{
  type = wireless
  # ssid: you should not define this unless you have characters
  #   other than those specified above in the ssid of your network
  ssid = <BEGIN_SSID>Wireless@BSC<END_SSID>

  allow_types = all
  identity = <BEGIN_ID>mmcgann@BSC<END_ID>

}

I'de like to have "Wireless" be "Wireless@BSC" but then it returns an error with unknown token 'BSC'

anywho if anyone has an suggestions i'de really appreciate it.

running ndiswrapper and xsupplicant on a dull truemobile 1300. it works on every other router i've tried to connec to...just not here on campus....and yes the cert is correct....changed the format to .pem with openssl.

edit*** when i run xsupplicant it seems to eat up my cpu or ram, can't really tell...

2Gnu · 10-18-2004, 03:01 PM

I noticed that you've set WEP key exchange to restricted mode vs. open. Is that how the AP is set? Open is (counter-intuitively) more secure than shared key for key exchange.

Run "top" to see how much of your resources are being consumed. On my P3 laptop, CPU is negligible and memory is .3% (higher than a lot of things, but still negligible).

I've read that some devices do not like certain characters in the SSID field. Do you get the same symptoms if you use only "mmcgann?"

y0shi · 10-18-2004, 03:50 PM

yea the mmcgann vs mmcgann@BSC makes no difference. now i'm @ home, and i can't get on wireless...can't change the ssid...so i deleted wlan0 and made a new one...still a no go. :-\ god damn it.
i'm not sure why it's set to restricted vs open...or if it will even accept the change....maybe i need to delete the driver via ndiswrapper and then put it back in.

y0shi · 10-18-2004, 04:06 PM

oookay holy christ.....so i try to remove and install my driver:

ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5

ndiswrapper -i /etc/bcmwl5/bcmwl5.inf

loaded fine.

cannot change the essid no matter what i try. :-\ << why are people having this problem?

i really would just go buy a card that works with linux but i've grown so accustomed to my internal card... i don't think I'd ever want anythin else.

I have not had a problem with any of this crap until i compiled xsupplicant from source and tried to get on wirelessly @ school earlier today... :-\

i'm sitting next to my wireless router:

TSC cannot be used as a timesource.  <4>Possible reasons for this are:
  You're running with Speedstep,
  You don't have DMA enabled for your hard disk (see hdparm),
  Incorrect TSC synchronization on an SMP system (see dmesg).

Has anyone who had trouble with iwconfig and setting the essid try to upgrade to a newer version of wireless-tools?

darkleaf · 10-19-2004, 03:31 AM

BTW I think your only problem is that you can't set the essid. You could try if it works if you turn of the essid but that's no solution. Try to upgrade wireless-tools and see if you can set your essid then.

y0shi · 10-19-2004, 06:10 AM

hrmm.... i think YaST updated then but that was before the issue....i'll search for a more updated version before i reformat and **let you know if that works or not**

gonna install windows and slack today anyway.

Don't know if this helps, but the XSupplicant HOWTO has been officially released. Some nice startup/shutdown scripts are included as well. I haven't been through the whole thing, but it's worth a read.

I had problems setting the ESSID on my old belkin wireless 54g (using linuxant driverloader), I never found a way to configure the ESSID using iwconfig, the best solution I found was to run yast, enter the driver settings screen for the card and then use the finish buttons to exit, as far as i could tell yast was doing another step before exiting but I never established what it was. I did however find that the presence of an eth0 on my system resulted in wlan0 failing to work at all. I had to uninstall my ethernet nic to get the wireless to work and then reinstall it when i wanted to get onto a wired network.

btw yacc was written by AT&T (if i remember rightly) and is not free software, however a free equivalent called bison exists (its on the SuSE cd's somewhere) and will set up a symlink so that yacc -> bison, likewise lex (which creates code that provides yacc's output code with input tokens to parse) was also written by AT&T but there is a free equivalent called flex.

I am assuming that by your results you have done

Code:

modprobe ndiswrapper

next things I need to know is are you using dchp if so what client have you installed
and is this a Gui based installation that you are using if so which one.
if you are using dhcp and don't know what clients you have installed try this and show me the results note must be root to do this

Code:

ls $PATH | grep dh
