Hello all,
Written by Bin Zhang:
With the very good surprise, it works with WPA and in a simple way:
the only thing to do is to modprobe bcm43xx and to configure
wpa_supplicant, I don't need to make the other iwconfig or iwlist.
With the debian unstable (wpasupplicant 0.4.8-1), I put in
/etc/network/interfaces
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa-conf/home/user/.wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf
pre-up modprobe bcm43xx
post-down modprobe -r bcm43xx
and use "ifup/ifdown eth1".
Yes, its pretty easy that way, I can even get an IP-Address on boot,
the only thing that is concerning me, is that with wpa_supplicant, I dont get more
than 24 kb/s on a __16Mb__ line. Is there a possible explanantion for that?
My wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="my_essid"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=TKIP
auth_alg=OPEN
group=TKIP WEP104
psk="my_psk"
}
I entered the rate value in my /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-rate 24M #since the 54M option is not working for a (still unknown)
reason
pre-up ifconfig eth1 up
pre-up /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
#somehow the broadcom driver is NOT supported
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
Has somebody the same problem, or even a solution?
Thanks, Thomas
