I tried to send this message to the mailing list once, but it seems the
moderator is too busy to looks after the mails of unsubscribed people, so I
just quote my on mail and add some more recent information below.
[old message]
I don't know if this mailinglist is the right one for my problem, but I'm in
a rather desperate mood right now.
I'm using wpa_supplicant 4.8.0 on a laptop with ipw2200 chipset and gentoo
linux.
Throughout the last days I managed to get wpa_supplicant to work with my
dlink-524 wireless router.
It seems that the router doesn't really support WPA2 as although shown in
the menu, but I can live with WPA, too.
Yesterday my WLAN was working smoothly, and when I wanted to use it today it
just timed out.
Before that I didn't do too much, as far as I can remember. I just
recompiled ipw2200 and ieee80211 as the program module-rebuild (supposed to
reemerge packages who need their kernel modules to be recompiled) showed
them to need recompiling. Still now the program lists them, which is a bit
odd. I'm running a 2.6.16 kernel with suspend patches.
I normally connect to the router via /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start, but even
with a 60 seconds limit t times out.
when I run wpa_supplicant directly with debugging on, I get lots of stuff
and some success messages at the end
[code]
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:15:e9:0b:8b:5c [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
Cancelling authentication timeout
State: GROUP_HANDSHAKE -> COMPLETED

EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state SUCCESS
EAP: EAP entering state DISABLED
EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state AUTHENTICATED
EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state IDLE
EAPOL: startWhen --> 0
[/code]
So the authentication succeeds, and I also see some link info in gkrellm,
but a ping always returns "Network is unreachable".
Here comes my wpa_supplicant.conf
[code]
network={
ssid="mynetwork"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="somepsk"
priority=1
}
[/code]
I tried both the ascii and hexadecimal version of the passphrase, and it
authenticated anyway.
I tried both getting an IP from the router and providing one in the laptop
config, didn't change anything.
I don't know if the router screwed it up, but I can't remember having
changed anything between the time it worked and the time it stopped working.
I hope you can help or at least provide me with some information where to
get help.
Greetings

I deleted my wpa_supplicant.conf and started it from scratch, but I still
can't establish a connection.
Here comes the output of wpa_supplicant in debug mode.

psk=psk in hex format
priority=2
}
network={
ssid="<some other network>"
key_mgmt=NONE

}
[/code]
I haven't checked my second network with the net config yet, gonna do that
today.
