Problem getting wireless card to use WPA mode.
 
I'm attempted to get my WMP54G(Linksys) card to function with Fedora Core 6 Linux but I'm getting stuck on the final steps. I got it so that my card can detect the AP but I can't get it set up for WPA mode. I'm following the directions over at NDISwrapper but the steps kinda confuse me on this. The first it says to make a .config file. Well I right click in the directory and make a blank file. Then I type in what it says and save it as ".config" but I don't understand what it wants me to do with the "make" command. Other than that I did everything else. My .conf file is in the right place and says exactly what it tells me to put in but when I follow the rest of the steps this is the output I get.


[root@localhost /]# ifconfig wlan0 up
[root@localhost /]# wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
Initializing interface 'wlan0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'wext' ctrl_interface 'N/A'
Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
Failed to read read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
Failed to add interface wlan0
Cancelling scan request


Any help is greatly appreciated because I really want to use Fedora but without Internet it seems pointless.

Thanks

From the message is sounds like there is a problem with your wpa_supplicant.conf file. Check the syntax and any hidden characters such as \r.

Also check the permissions of the config file. Some programs will not run if you use a globally readable file. On example is ssh. I don't know if wpa_supplicant is like that but the key should only be readable by root.

Got that worked out. My problem was it was pointing to the wrong directory. I compiled the .config file. And now ran everything. But it seems to get stuck in a loop and this is what it keeps looping. However I can't decipher it.
