Re: Help!!! Can not connect to WPA or WEP network...ipw3945

Hi!

I have a ipw3945 too and it's working fine with my WPA network at home...And I'm also using ipw3945 1.2.1-2

I'm not using networkmanager, I'm just using wpa_supplicant and network-profiles...Something like this:

my wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
#fast_reauth=1

network={
       ssid="*******" //replace * for your ssid name
       scan_ssid=1
       psk="**********"  //replace * for your key
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       proto=WPA
       pairwise=TKIP
       group=TKIP
       priority=9
}

and then I set up a new profile, by creating a new file in /etc/network-profiles/
Code:

#
# Network Profile
#

DESCRIPTION="Home Wireless"

# Network Settings
INTERFACE=eth2
HOSTNAME=freestailo

# Interface Settings (use IFOPTS="dhcp" for DHCP)
IFOTS="dhcp"

# Wireless Settings (optional)
ESSID=Dragon

IWOPTS="mode managed essid $ESSID"

USEWPA="yes"           # start wpa_supplicant with the profile
WPAOPTS="-D wext"             # use "" for normal operation or specify additional

Then, I edited rc.conf:

I removed all interfaces EXCEPT lo from INTERFACES:
Code:

INTERFACES=(lo)

and added this:
Code:

NET_PROFILES=(MENU)

Now when I want to connect to some net work, I simply run the following command from a terminal:
Code:

net-cfg --menu

this will present a menu, from which I just need to select the desired profile...in this case "Home Wireless".

Sometimes I need to do a dhcpcd eth2 too...

Hope this helps!
