I got a new Ambicom WL1100C card for my C1000 (Akita) and flashed a
clean copy of the 20070605 release.
After much RTFM-ing and Googling, I did the following by downloading
ipks to my SD card on the desktop then installing them on the Z:
-installed the hostap utilities
- installed the prism3_firmware package
- installed the wireless tools
-Installed Kismet and necessary libraries
Following the instructions in the prism_3 firmware package i put the
following in /etc/network/interfaces:
#
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-essid (My ssid)
psk= ------- (128 characters = 64 hex numbers)
needs_reset yes
needs_firmware hostap_fw_load
# pre-up iwpriv wlan0 reset 1
# pre-up prism2_srec -r wlan0 /etc/pcmcia/rf010804.hex
And created the 2 shell scripts as directed.
I can't get a lease on the access point. At first, I was using
"wpa-psk" followed by my 128 characters, but it was interpreting that
as a text passkey and complaining. At least now it is not
complaining, but it doesn't authenticate. I know the AP is working
(I'm using it now on the laptop) and have verified the key is correct.
Here's the output from "ifup wlan0"
Card is ready with both PRI and STA firmware images
WPA: Configuring Interface
udhcpc (v1.2.1) started
run-parts: /etc/udhcpc.d/00avahi-autoipd exited with return code 1:
Success
Sending discover...

Sending discover...
No lease, failing.
I'm about out of ideas, have been fighting with this all afternoon.
Any help would be appreciated!

P.S.
I also configured Kismet, and it works fine. This was my #1
objective so progress is being made.
