ok, it was not the wrong setting in wpa_supplicant.conf, as i thought
before.
i keep getting the already described errors.
meanwhile, i also talked to a guy on IRC, and here is the protocol of
our talk. perhaps the info's may help..
now, i'll try the whole story, but without DHCP.
i'll report any success.
regards,
igor

now, as I reached the last step, dhclient, I'm not able to get an IP-adress:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/drac# dhclient wlan0
Try:
# ifconfig wlan0 up && dhclient wlan0

(16:10) <igor>hi
(16:12) <igor>i have a problem, which i also asked about few days ago on the
mailing list
(16:13) <igor>each time i run wpa_supplicant, dmesg shows "SoftMAC:
wx_set_mlme: we should know the net here..."
(16:13) <igor>SoftMAC: Open Authentication completed with 00:14:6c:1b:7c:0c

(16:20) <igor>hmm, seems like nobody is going to answer.

(16:39) <benoit>igor: typical bug!
(16:39) <benoit>in fact, most DHCP clients put the interface down ... so you
cannot receive an answer....
(16:40) <benoit>that might be your problem
(16:41) <igor>so, what can I do now?
(16:42) <igor>get another dhcp client?

(17:01) <ahu>igor2: which driver?
(17:01) <igor2>zd1211rw
(17:02) <ahu>I've seen this behaviour with mainline zd1211rw in the kernel
(17:03) <igor2>hmm, but what is the reason for such a behaviour?
(17:03) <ahu>bugs
(17:03) <ahu>the zd1211rw driver is still relatively new
(17:03) <ahu>als, are you sure stuff is working w/o dhcp?]
(17:03) <igor2>ah, OK
(17:04) <ahu>also, zd1211rw interfaces are typically called 'eth1' and not wlan0
(17:04) <igor2>hmm, no i didn't try it w/o dhcp
(17:04) <ahu>so I wonder if you are really using zd1211rw
(17:04) <igor2>it's definitely the RW driver
(17:05) <igor2>after modprobe-ing zd1211rw wlan0 appears
(17:05) <igor2>does this perhaps depend on the distribution?
(17:05) <igor2>i'm using KANOTIX
(17:06) <ahu>might be
(17:06) <ahu>you you need WEP, or WPA?
(17:06) <igor2>WPA
(17:07) <ahu>and you have that working already?
(17:08) <igor2>wpa_supplicant is able to connect to the network, at least i
says so
(17:08) <igor2>i can't prove it, because i don't get the IP
(17:08) <ahu>does iwconfig wlan0 as root show a long key?
(17:09) <ahu>in fact, can you paste the output of that command? feel free to
leave out the key
(17:09) <ahu>but do let us know if it is there
(17:09) <igor2>yesEncryption
key:3AE2-008B-3443-F057-274C-8B92-60CB-5E28-9655-5844-A1BA-0573-8454-42E5-E129-AAFD
Security mode:open
(17:09) * ahu drives by igor2 's home
(17:09) <ahu>try ifconfig wlan0 up
(17:09) <ahu>and THEN run dhclient
(17:10) <igor2>already tried; same result
(17:10) <igor2>ifconfig wlan0 up && dhclient wlan0
(17:12) <ahu>and you run with the zd1211rw in the kernel?
(17:12) <ahu>that came with 'KANOTIX'?
(17:12) <igor2>no, i built a driver from sources
(17:12) <ahu>very odd then
(17:13) <igor2>ack
(17:14) <ahu>you should really wait for dsd to arrive
(17:15) <ahu>and perhaps ammend your posting to the list with the above
(17:16) <igor2>ok
(17:16) <igor2>thank you for your help
(17:16) <ahu>developers love to know everything you tried already
(17:16) <igor2>;-)
(17:16) <ahu>makes you "interesting"
(17:16) <igor2>yes i'm a programmer too ;-)
(17:17) <ahu>a, very good :-)
