ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument ipw2200 (-Dwext) using wpa_supplicant on EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 network

[Ricardo Cordeiro]

Hello,

I was trying to authenticate to a WEP protected, IEEE8021X - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 authenticated wireless LAN using wpa_supplicant-0.4.7.

The supplicant authenticates successfully, but fails to set the dynamic WEP key.

Besides wpa_supplicant, I have currently installed the following packages on a Gentoo GNU/Linux laptop:

wireless-tools-28_pre12 (28_pre10 doesn't work too)
ieee80211-1.1.6
ipw2200-1.0.8-r1
ipw2200-firmware-2.4

I ran: wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1 -dddd -Dwext

here's a paste of the conf file:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
        ssid="e-U"
        scan_ssid=1
        mode=0
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        eap=PEAP

        identity="xxxxxx at iscte.pt"
        password="xxxxxxxx"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the important part of the output:

If there anything wrong? Can I provide you any more information?

Thanks in advance for any help,
