Hello. I've done some digging and have yet to come up with any answers in the archives or forum, so I thought I'd just ask.
I've recently installed 0.92 embedded on a WRAP board, 256MB CF card and a Atheros mPCI card (CM9). I'm trying to use this setup as a wireless client device (with WPA-PSK encryption), initially just attempting to associate with an access point right on the bench. I've gone through and set the system up for basic operations and assigned ath0 as my WAN port. Assigned the IP address, SSID, etc - everything works as expected when using no encryption, and 40 bit WEP (I didn't test 128 bit, but assume it works fine). But, no joy at all with WPA. I've tried two access points - a StarOS AP (CM9 card) and a Linksys WRV54G - and specifying the appropriate ciper for both (or auto) and no luck at all with either. I've fiddled with nearly everything I can think of, and nothing results in an association. Changing key times, ciphers, nothing. My last configuration is as follows: pfSense - fresh install of 0.92 embedded, assigned interfaces (sis0 -> LAN, ath0 -> WAN), assigned my wireless static IP, SSID, enabled WPA and entered the key (32 random ASCII characters). StarOS - fresh install of 2.10.0, assigned IP addresses, WPA-PSK encryption, key rotation of 3600, and the WPA key (32 random ASCII characters). SNR's are a non-issue, >35dB all around. Distance (ACK timing) isn't an issue here either, less than 10 feet on the bench. Is there something stupid I'm missing here, or is there issues with using WPA as a wireless client? More information on request, just let me know what you need. As a secondary question, is there a way to adjust the ACK timing of the radio? Assuming the WPA issues can be worked out, this setup would make a really nice wireless client access device in several places in my network, but link distances could approach 8 miles, so timing would likely need some tuning. Thanks in advance of any and all help!
