ipw2200 + wpa_supplicant + wep AP

Tue Mar 22 04:43:50 PST 2005

Hi all,
I replaced waproamd with wpa_supplicant as wireless auto-scan agent to 
join to known wep and wpa APs.

With my pcmcia prism2-based with hostap drivers my configuration of 
wpa_supplicant works greatly (with wep and wpa APs).
With my internal centrino wireless card (ipw2200 driver) it works well 
with wpa-psk AP but I have problems with simple wep AP. :(

Here some informations:
- Debian Sarge 3.1
- wpa_supplicant 0.3.8 (with debian-specific patches REMOVED, a vanilla 
version);
- ipw2200 1.0.1 + firmware 2.2

my wpa_supplicant.conf:
-----------------------------------------
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
#ap_scan=1

network={
         ssid="gandalf"
         key_mgmt=NONE
         wep_key0="XXXXXXX"
         wep_tx_keyidx=0
         auth_alg=SHARED
         priority=1000
}
-----------------------------------------

With this configuration it find the AP with it goes in time-out out!

root at legolas:~# wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D ipw
Trying to associate with 00:0f:b5:56:35:68 (SSID='gandalf' freq=0 MHz)

Trying to associate with 00:0f:b5:56:35:68 (SSID='gandalf' freq=0 MHz)
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

It works with a wpa-psk AP.

I tried also 'ap_scan=1' and 'ap_scan=0'... :(

Can anyone help me?

Here the full log of wpa_supplicant:
