Hi,
Thanks. I've always heard countless rumors about WPA being wise :) I'll
take your advice and take a step up in technology. My stubborn
conservatism probably roots back to the time when not all devices
could do
WPA, or at least I had crazy trouble getting things to work. But this
learned attitude was probably around 2000, which was like a million
years
ago with dinosaurs and stuff. Time for me to finally get with it.

Concerning WEP ./. WPA: From the technical point it is clear, WPA is
more secure; but there are other aspects as well; we have had in Germany
cases where the WAN IP of the AP appeared as source addr of some kind of
crime (access to child porn or whatever) and the AP owner said: I'm
using WEP, it was not me, and someone highjacked my AP ... and he/she
went home as free person;

thanks, going to try WPA this weekend.
My apartment is not so convenient for drive-by scanners (cant think of the
proper term at the moment) but i do have at least one neighbor who appears
potentially suspect.. like he might try to hack my ap for fun.

Hi,
Today I picked up a D-Link DIR-815 and set it up for WPA with TKIP/PSK.
I believe i followed the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook. However, the
wpa_supplicant appears to hang indefinitely. If i control-c it barfs out an
error.
This clones ale0 wired NIC MAC to ath0 wireless NIC for lagg
ifconfig ath0 ether 00:23:5a:59:e1:e4
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 ssid BOOTAY
ifconfig wlan0 up scan
here's the wpa_supplicant that's hanging:
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
p00ntang# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Trying to associate with 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 (SSID='BOOTAY' freq=2452 MHz)
Associated with 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 completed (auth)
[id=0 id_str=]
^CCTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received
ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 20, len 7]: Can't assign requested address
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=4 eloop_data=0x284081c0 user_data=0x28412080
handler=0x806d620
If I terminate with ampersand to run asynchronously it keeps running and i
have a wireless connection - it works.
p00ntang# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
I guess that makes sense but the handbook is not clear to me that it's to
be done this way. It's the first time i've set up WPA on FreeBSD so i'm not
100% about what to expect.
i am noticing messages about rekeying, so maybe the wpa-supplicant is
supposed to keep running.
here's /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid=BOOTAY
psk=PASSWORD GOES HERE
}
here's the rest of the lagg to set wired/wireless interface with a failover
configuration. this is pretty clear in the handbook but i'll put it here in
case someone runs across the thread in the future.
ifconfig ale0 up
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig lagg0 create
ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto failover laggport ale0 laggport wlan0
10.0.0.20/24
Just stick the config in rc.conf and make sure you include WPA in the
wlan0 definition. It will just work then.
For reference, to run wpa_supplicant from the cli you usually add -B
in the flags to daemonise it, and run in the background; otherwise it
will run in the foreground for debugging purposes.
