Re: Using WPA without wpa_supplicant?

1) I reinstall and relaunch wpa_supplicant, with ap_scan=0, and only
one network={} entry
Try this config:
# wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="YOURESSID"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
priority=9
psk=<YOURKEY>
}
And disable wpa_supplicant in /etc/default.
Add the following in your /etc/network/interfaces:
# The primary network interface
iface eth1 home dhcp
#
## WEXT
# pre-up /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -D wext -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw
#
pre-up /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D ipw -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
wireless-mode managed
wireless-essid any
Be sure, that /etc/network/netsheme contains the mentioned "home" above:
#!/bin/bash
# /etc/network/netsheme for WPASupplicant
locations=$(whereami --mapping)
if [[ "$locations" == *home* ]]
then
echo "home"
elif [[
(...)
Sometimes the driver "wext" in /etc/network/interfaces gives better results.
For ipw you could give it a try.
3) I lost the link (don't know why)
Seems, that the driver can't authenticate. (?) Try calling wpa_supplicant by
hand and with -d.
6) dhclient is unable to obtain an IP
7) ...
Of course, if you can't associate, you won't get a ip. ;)
Works here well....
