Problem with wpa_supplicant

English Network/Internet
#1

Hello together,

at first excuse my bad english. The last time i wrote in english was in school ;).

Since i have done the update from 10.3 to 11.0 the encryption with wpa doesn’t work. With WEP there are no problems. I’ve a PCMCIA W-Lan Card (Netgear WG 511 made in Taiwan) running with ndiswrapper.

Here is the content of my wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    eapol_version=1
    ap_scan=1
    network={
       ssid="Casino"
       scan_ssid=1
       proto=WPA
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       pairwise=TKIP
       group=TKIP
       psk="12345678"
       priority=2
    }

The wpa_supplicant is load at boot. But he doesn’t connect to my card.

So i’ve tried to load wpa_supplicant manually. An then i get this output:

linux-s9p6:/etc/wpa_supplicant # wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Do you have any ideas why opensuse 11.0 doesn’t connect with wpa?

I’m happy for every help i can get.

I have the same problem but also with WEP. May be it’s because of the manual configuration, i tried with network manager and sometimes it works.

In the meantime i’ve tried everything but nothing work.

At least i downloaded Kubuntu 8.04 and boot with the Live-CD. And what should i say? It work immediately!

There is no ndiswrapper running or something like that. Kubuntu load the prism54pci driver and wpa_supplicant automatically at boot up.

The next thing i try, is to run my netgear with the prism54 modul on opensuse and delete everything from ndiswrapper.

I’ll give you report.
