Problems making WPA work with ndiswrapper/broadcom

[Donald Teed]

OK, I've now had a little more sucess.  Another AP is set up
which does broadcast the SSID and I can see the AP with iwlist.

Working with this config:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # for wpa_cli support

network={
         ssid="acadia-test"
         scan_ssid=0
         key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
         eap=PEAP
         proto=WPA
         pairwise=TKIP
         group=TKIP
         identity="test"
         password="testpasswd"
         phase1="peapver=0 peaplabel=0"
         phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

Running this to connect:


wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -w -dd

Here is the trace:

Is there a way to increase the timeout for authentication?  Maybe
5 seconds isn't enough time?

What problem does this demonstrate?  I'm able to use the same
user to connect with Win XP on the same client notebook.
