Hi all,
I try to create a ad-hoc network with 3 laptops, 3 cards Wi-Fi 3COM 3CRPAG175 and WPA-NONE:
Laptop 1: Ubuntu 6.10
in /etc/network/interfaces
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
eapol_version=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="testpsk"
mode=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
pairwise=NONE
group=CCMP
psk="hhhhhhhh"
}
I run:
root at laptop1:~#ifup ath0
root at laptop1:~#iwconfig ath0
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"testpsk"
Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.412 GHz Cell: 02:0F:CB:B1:82:B6
Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:31 dBm Sensitivity=0/3
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:A83D-9695-2E28-4D15-F1C2-9B15-2E0F-0C13 Security mode:restricted
Power Management:off
Link Quality=32/94 Signal level=-54 dBm Noise level=-86 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:43656 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Laptop 2: Ubuntu 6.10
in /etc/network/interfaces
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
eapol_version=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="testpsk"
mode=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
pairwise=NONE
group=CCMP
psk="hhhhhhhh"
}
On laptop 2, i run also:
root at laptop2:~#ifup ath0
root at laptop2:~#iwconfig ath0
Now, 2 first laptops is connected with WPA-NONE and they can ping to eachother.
Laptop 3: Windows XP SP2
I can detect "testpsk" network but i can't connect to it.
Someone can help me, pls!
Note that there are some errors when i run directly :
root at laptop1:~#wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi
(i saw errors on mailing list but no answer). So i try with ifup/ifdown.
Thanks alot.
Thao
