Bug#439896: WPA does not work on Dell Wireless 1390

[Frank Denissen]

Hello Kel, I don't think your conclusion is correct. I found this in the output of dmesg: wlan0: ethernet device 00:19:7d:3a:17:eb using NDIS driver: bcmwl5, version: 0x4640f05, NDIS version: 0x501, vendor: 'NDIS Network Adapter', 14E4:4311.5.conf wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK; AES/CCMP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK Obviously ndiswrapper reports here that WPA is supported.

Access to my wireless router works fine without encryption or with WEP. Only WPA does not work under Linux (ndiswrapper + windows driver). WPA works fine under Windows, using the same version of the driver. This is not a bug of wpasupplicant. See below for why. $ /sbin/wpa_supplicant -w -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd Initializing interface 'wlan0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'ndiswrapper' <snip> SIOCGIWRANGE: WE(compiled)=22 WE(source)=18 enc_capa=0xf capabilities: key_mgmt 0xf enc 0xf WEXT: Operstate: linkmode=1, operstate=5 Own MAC address: 00:19:7d:3a:17:eb Driver does not support WPA. This is the punchline. ndiswrapper doesn't think your windows driver supports WPA, and reports that to wpa_supplicant. Maybe yry a different windows driver? Personally, I find the native bcm43xx module to be quite okay, ymmv of course. Thanks, Kel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
