wpa_supplicant can't connect to AP

tmkd · 01-09-2011, 06:36 PM

I use Slackware 13

Code:

Linux tmkd 2.6.29.6-smp #2 SMP Mon Aug 17 00:52:54 CDT 2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P7350  @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I try to connect to some AP via wpa_supplicant. But i see this errors. Can you help?

Code:

try running:

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 up

before wpa_supplicant

or easier still install wicd from /extra

tmkd · 01-10-2011, 02:37 AM

wlan0 is up.
After wpa_supplican -D wext i wlan0 ...... wlan0 always is down.

Andy Alt · 01-10-2011, 10:00 PM

If you want to use dhcp, after you run wpa_supplicant, type in (into another terminal if you have to):
/sbin/dhcpcd -t 30 wlan0

Or just edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file to your specifications.

Code:

IFNAME[4]="wlan0"
#IPADDR[4]="192.168.0.201"
#NETMASK[4]=""
USE_DHCP[4]="yes"
#DHCP_HOSTNAME[4]="icculus-wireless"
WLAN_WPA[4]="wpa_supplicant"
WLAN_WPADRIVER[4]="wext"
#WLAN_WPAWAIT[4]=30

And then
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart

If you use rc.inet1.conf, you don't have to run wpa_supplicant, dhcpcd, or ifconfig manually.

tmkd · 01-11-2011, 02:25 PM

This doesn't help in anything.(only runs dhcp). I think that problem is with key. Today i saw key errors, but i did not save it. Tomorrow i will try one more time, and post result.

markush · 01-11-2011, 04:24 PM

Hello tmkd,

execute iwconfig, then the wpa_supplicant command (from your post #3), and afterwards iwconfig again. iwconfig will show you if you're authenticated to the accesspoint or not.

Markus

tmkd · 01-12-2011, 01:21 AM

I am not. Because see errors from wpa_supplicant.

markush · 01-12-2011, 02:53 AM

mh, and what happens when executing

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_start

Please list the output of the commands "lspci -v", "ifconfig -a" and "iwconfig".

It looks like you are also running VMware and VMware is trying to bridge its virtual network to the wireless adapter.
In general it is not possible to add a wireless interface to a bridge.

As stated in earlier threads there are a few things you may need to determine where the problem exactly is.
(you may try to browse linux questions to see whether or not your problem is or could be in any way related to the issues other people have had)

Things that are handy to know up-front:
1) name of your wireless router (this is something you configured yourself most likely)
2) type of security (wpa, wpa2, wep (yuck), etc)
3) security information (preshared key etc)
4) Frequencies (2.5GHz, 5.1GHz, ...)

- Assuming you run KDE on the machine that you try to connect to your wireless router, go to Internet -> wpa_gui (you need your root password as it is kdesu-ed)
- Of note here is: do you see your wlan0 adapter in the list of Adapters. If not: you may not have loaded the correct libraries to use your wireless adapter
- If the adapter is visible, you can go to the second tab and scan for networks. Do you see any access points at all? If not: check which frequencies are supported with your wireless adapter, I've had issues here in the past. Set the right frequency in /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf)
- If you do see your access point: congratulations!
- Try to connect to your accesspoint: click "Add" fill in the fields with the correct connection information (which I made you note earlier)

Please provide as full information as (securely) possible back on issues that you encounter along this road.

tmkd · 01-13-2011, 12:14 AM

When i run wpa_gui i see i status field

Code:

Could not get status from wpa_supplicant

My wireless card works fine(i use it on other access points)>

wpa_supplicant is not running, which is why you cannot get a status from it.
Nobody has been stating that your card is faulty here, getting it to work on your Linux is another story.

Go with Alien Bob's request to show the listings. If iwconfig shows wlan0, you can try to start wpa_supplicant manually.
If it doesn't, the right modules for your wireless adapter have not been loaded. You could provide us with

You will need a file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf for it, with at least the "Plaintext connection" part active:

Code:

network={
  key_mgmt=NONE
  priority=0
}

That should allow you to start wpa_supplicant

Code:

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

Also, as stated by Alien Bob: you seem to be running vmware (player); The messages about wlan0 seem (all) to come from vmware, making me believe that your wlan0 adapter is not available at the point the vmware modules are loaded.

If you do not have the "plaintext" connection in wpa_supplicant, it will probably only connect to the access points that you have already configured; If somehow you do not have the correct credentials entered for this access point, you won't be able to connect either.

Seems to be your wireless card from lspci

The accesspoint you try to connect to, is it listed in your wpa_supplicant.conf?
What is the authentication mechanism? WPA2 PSK, WPA2 Enterprise (EAP), ...
What is the type of encryption? (TKIP or CCMP or ...)
What is the EAP method (if applicable)

I expect your wpa_supplicant.conf has to be edited to make it work.
