LinuxQuestions.org - wpa_supplicant with broadcom pci card

I am having huge issues with getting my wpa_supplicant.conf file setup properly and so I really could use the help this is my first time dealing with wireless since way back in high school several years ago. heres my wpa_supplicant.conf file

Code:



ctrl_interfaces=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=root



eapol_version=1

ap_scan=2

fast_reauth=1



network={

    ssid="NETGEAR"

    key_mgmt=NONE

}

the router has no password and the name is NETGEAR is there anything I'm missing?

My current outcome of wpa_supplicant is this when using: wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code:

wlan0: Trying to associate with SSID 'NETGEAR'

wlan0: Associated with e0:91:f5:f1:10:20

wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to e0:91:f5:f1:10:20 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=]

# note: id_str previously at some point did equal 1 idk why it's blank this time now I might have changed something

thats the end it justs stays there the lights on the card come on but there a solid orange light and the green light is a blink a like every second almost it's paced like it's saying hey somethings wrong.

any ideas guys? thanks :)
