"Failed to read configuration file" ?

[Jerry LeVan]

Hi,
I have a linux laptop, HP DV4000 with an ipw2200 wireless interface.
I have been running with WEP but wanted something more secure.

I am running the latest ipw2200 drivers  and firmware and kernel
2.6.14 with Fedora Core 4.

My wireless ap is a linksys wrt54g.

my .config file is
CONFIG_DRIVER_TEST=y
CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_WEXT=y

my wpa_supplicant.conf file is:

# WPA-PSK/TKIP

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
        ssid="foolsnet"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        proto=WPA
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        psk="letitpleasework"
}

Attempting to start the supplicant fails with a read failure that I
cannot diagnose. the file is there and readable (certainly by root...)
so there must be some parse error that I cannot find. Does anyone
see the problem?

# wpa_supplicant -cwpa_supplicant.conf -Dipw -ieth1 -dd
Failed to read configuration file 
'/home/jerry/Desktop/MyWPA/wpa_supplicant.conf'.

Thanks

Jerry
