Sorry about posting this configuration related question here, but I'm at my wits end trying to get an IOGear USB WiFi dongle to connect a TS-7800 ARM to a WPA2 Personal network via DHCP.
# uname -a Linux ts7800 2.6.21-ts #1 PREEMPT Fri Oct 10 10:20:42 MST 2008 armv5tejl GNU/Linux I was following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo, which seem pretty vanilla. I first did: # iwconfig which produced: eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions. eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"" Nickname:"zd1211" Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid Encryption key:off Link Quality:0/100 Signal level:-144 dBm Noise level:0 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 That seemed helpful, as it seems to know about the dongle and it's calling it eth1. I then did: # wpa_passphrase my_ssid my_passwd which generated: network={ ssid="my_ssid" #psk="my_passwd" psk=...long number... } So I added to the bottom of /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf network={ ssid="my_ssid" #psk="my_passwd" psk=...long number... key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA } But if I do: wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -w I get a bunch of lines that look like: Trying to associate with {MAC address here} (SSID='my_ssid' freq=0 MHz) Associated with {MAC address here} ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument WPA: Failed to set PTK to the driver. CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys It looks like ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument may be the culprit, but when I tried Googling that in various incarnations, I got nowhere. Can anyone help?
