Re: Where and (at which step) to place the firmware files
It is still the wrong firmware directory.
Read your distro's documentation on where to put firmware.
I think I have corrected this issue (I have made symlinks
in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware too).
Now the script says:
buza:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16-rc4/scripts# ./bcm43xx-d80211-sta_up.sh
gcc -O0 -o /tmp/add_sta /tmp/add_sta.c
/tmp/add_sta wlan0 sta0
iwconfig wlan0.11 mode managed
ifconfig wlan0.11 up
ifconfig sta0 hw ether 00:90:4B:56:5B:27
ifconfig sta0 192.168.1.101
ifconfig sta0 up
iwconfig sta0 mode managed
wpa_supplicant -B -Ddscape -ista0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Unsupported driver 'dscape'.
FAILED (255)
buza:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16-rc4/scripts#
I have googled, searched in the mailing list archive, but no result.
I have bcm43xx_d80211 module loaded, no idea why is this error.
The association not working either (I dont need wpa_supplicant btw).
The wpa_supplicant.conf file:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid=
key_mgmt=NONE
}
I try to recompile the kernel with full debug support. No idea why the
assotiation is not working.

Oh, this does not seem to be my day... I was wrong again. It really seems to work with -Dwext. It just spews a few error messages, but works nevertheless. So I will make wext default, so that people are no longer required to patch wpa_supplicant. Sorry for the bandwidth wasting :P -- Greetings Michael. pgppYX4kMrKIS.pgp Description: PGP signature
wpa_supplicant and softmac
I know I asked this in that other email that was so long probably nobody read to the end where the question was, so I apologize for repeating myself. Has anyone had success with wpa_supplicant and the softmac stack? Is this expected to work? When I try to use it, it seems to associate but fails to recognize it, or perhaps fails to authenticate. Using iwconfig by hand works fine. I'm using -Dwext -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it.

Re: kismet trouble
If somebody has any ideas please inform me. Kismet just supports the softmac version of this driver. Hmm. Thx for the hint! I have installed kismet from svn, with no success. There is bcm43xx driver inside, but the error message is the same as with the hostap driver. FATAL: pcap reported netlink type 1 (EN10MB) for sta0. This probably means you're not in RFMON mode or your drivers are reporting a bad value. Make sure you have the correct drivers and that entering monitor mode succeeded. I will recompile my kernel also. Where can I read which advantage has the dscape version (apart from full wpa-psk support)?
