[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant and preferred_aps (not associating)

[Ow Mun Heng]

I'm not sure what happened and my effort to find out what happened is
still largely surmised by " don't know yet"

Anyway, using ipw2100 and wpa_supplicant

I followed the gentoo guide and put in the 
network={
        key_mgmt=NONE
        priority=-9999999
}

such that it will pick up any un-encrypted APs.

Then suddenly it was not associating anymore.

I've ran wpa_supplicant on the command line and it kept spitting out
"SSID Mismatch"

I only got things to work after I added the SSID into the list in
wpa_supplicant.conf

Previously preferred_aps will work.

Does anyone have any clue?

BTW, when I do iwconfig, I get the message that the wireless tools has
been compiled with version 20 when the kernel version is version 22.

I've already re-compiled wireless-tools-28

(or should I upgrade it to 29_pre22??)
