Hi all,
I have to start using WPA-PSK, to replace my plain old WEP :) because
we've migrated at work.
I use wpa_supplicant via /etc/conf.d/net; net.wlan0 is symlinked to
net.lo; but the interface never comes up.
wpa_supplicant.conf reads:
network={
ssid="Xxxx"
scan_ssid=1
mode=0
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
auth_alg=OPEN
psk="xXxXxXx"
}
(of course the X's are real values, which I copied straight from a BSD
user's wpa_supplicant.conf file)
and conf.d/net reads
modules=( "ifconfig" )
config_eth0=( "172.16.0.52/24"
"10.1.0.52/8" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 172.16.0.4" )
metric="100"
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dndiswrapper"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=60
when I run `/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start` /var/log/messages shows:

I can connect perfectly using ndiswrapper, WEP, and not wpa_supplicant
from home. I can't connect using ndiswrapper with WEP via
wpa_supplicant at home.
On the command line I see:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ...
$
but then nothing happens, ever, to wlan0...
can someone give me some pointers here? google wasn't much help, nor
the wpa_supplicant website. Yet _without_ wpa_supplicant, I can connect
fine, so I know the card and ndiswrapper are working!
TIA,
