BWN WLAN wpa_supplicant ssid mismatch no carrier

2013-01-12 Thread Thomas D. Dean

FreeBSD 9.0 as of June 1, 2012.

I have an older laptop with a PC Card Linksys WiFi adapter.

I cannot connect to a close-by (2 ft) wireless router.

 cat rc.conf
...
ifconfig_wlan0=WPA SYNCDHCP
wlans_bwn0=wlan0
...

 cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
  ssid=tddhome
  psk=
}

# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ddt
...
 0:   the correct router ssid='' wpa_ie_len=22 ...
  skip - SSID mismatch
...

The interface is seeing the correct router
 ifconfig -v wlan0 list scan
...

SSIDtddhome ... WPAv1 mc:AES-CCMP uc:AES-CCMP km:8021X-PSK ...

What am I doing wrong?

you must add here the ssid to be used.

 wlans_bwn0=wlan0
 ...
 
   cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
 network={
ssid=tddhome
psk=
 }
 
 # wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ddt

You must tell ifconfig which ssid to use.

Hi,

I don't recall connecting with CCMP (maybe there's no issue!!!) but check
the router settings. For some reason I remember having to set mine to use
TKIP. An idea. (?)

I think Erich is correct. Also, CCMP should work great if
wlan_ccmp_load=YES is in /boot/loader.conf

I found another email that said the device did not support mode 11n. 
But, this does not seem to have changed anything.

leave the mode away. It should then use a mode which both bwn and the
device will support.
