pre-shared key may be incorrect

Fri Sep 29 18:31:01 PDT 2006

Hi,

I've read the postings on wpa supplicant problems about pre-shared key
incorrect and I have something similar with an Atheros card on Kubuntu
Dapper. The card works fine with this AP with WEP in Kubuntu and WEP and
WPA-PSK in Windows.

Here's the conf file:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

#eapol_version=1
#ap_scan=2
#fast_reauth=1

network={
	ssid="PipaNet"
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	pairwise=TKIP
	psk="A8601B4A46A5886E8FD6DDFCD5"
#	psk=8e1bd415437e5510c12e82970f3096e520fe7a340f1ad14bd996c24cb21d5744
}

And here's the log (long versison -dd option):

# wpa_supplicant -dd -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D madwifi
