I am using the XP default client with the latest service pack. The
client card is a Netgear WAG 511 and it i working with other APs.
I made it for it to work but not every time. Sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesnt without changing the configuration.
When configuring WPA PSK I saw that if I specify
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
hostapd does not work correctly, while if I dont specify these two
parameters it works. I still didnt look in the code how these two
parameters are used, but I was wondering why.
Is the WPA-PSK part in hostapd considered as finished or is somebody
still working on it?
THank you,
Ugo
