Problems with the airport

["Javier Ramirez" <javier.ramirez@gmail.com>]

Hi to everyone.

I am having kernel 2.6.16.14 with the berlios kernel patch (not the
dscape one).

I can scan the wireless networks but dhcpd doesn't get an ip address.
.......
........
monalisa:/etc/network# iwlist wlan0ap scan
wlan0ap   Scan completed :
         Cell 01 - Address: 00:12:A9:16:99:90

dmesg gives me this when I use: "dhclient wlan0ap":

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0ap: link is not ready
SoftMAC: Authentication timed out with 00:11:50:4d:b8:12

I checked with my pcmcia card and get internet access in seconds.

Another thing to say is that when I run wpa_suplicant it send me this errors:

wpa_supplicant -Dhostap -iwlan0ap -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

My wpa_supplicant.conf is:

#--------------------------------------------------
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
       ssid="cespedes"
       key_mgmt=NONE
}
#----------------------------------------

I have looked in several internet pages and have no luck with this.

Can some one give me a hint?

thanks for everything.

Orlando.
