I'm traveling and haven't been able to connect to hotspots that are using
wpa[2]. The handbook isn't up to date and I have been looking for over a
week unsuccessfully. As far as I know there isn't an X utility to do this
from and I've tried wpa_suplicant.conf with a router here but since I don't
understand it, I'm sure it is incorrect (plus the important clue that it
doesn't work) Hopefully this is an easier and simpler way to do this.
The wpa_supplicant.conf configuration that I've tested is:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
## eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA2

## bssid=[mac address of your access point here]
## key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
## pairwise=TKIP
## psk=[i forgot what this is, presumably the md5 of the passphrase.]
password=Testing123
}
Any suggestions for getting out of this glass of water that I'm drowning in
would be greatly appreciated.
Handbook: Section 31
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html#NETWORK-WIRELESS
HTML Manpage for wpa_supplicant.conf:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicant.confsektion=5
proto List of acceptable protocols; one or more of: WPA (IEEE
802.11i/D3.0) and RSN (IEEE 802.11i). WPA2 is another name for
RSN. If not set this defaults to WPA RSN.
I have 7.0-RELEASE working perfectly with WPA2/CCMP (using AES), so I
can't imagine that 8 would break it that badly, but I could be wrong..
Here's my (very simple) wpa_supplicant.conf (psk edited, of course):
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# Home:
network={
ssid=none
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=x}]{-9jimCm`6V:LI#HiLa[Q5\jL/b;R:2)/%HU#zW=:?K?PP8mx48`Jvx-K
}
I really needed a working example and that did it. I've tested with
several and they all work fine. I also reread the handbook pages and
understood them much better. I also wasn't using /etc/rc.d/netif for
testing. I had forgotten about it.
Thanks so much,
