Hello everyone. I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer or at
least point me in the right direction.
Dapper 6.06 Live Desktop (not yet installed -- running off CD)
Dell Latitude D600 laptop
Intel Corp PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (built-in wireless)
D-Link DI-624 router with WPA2-Auto security, TKIP cipher and PSK passphrase
I've copied the
/usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/examples/wpa_psk_tkip.conf to a personal
wpa.conf file and modified it to include my SSID and PSK value.
When I run the command:
wpa_supplicant -D ipw -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa.conf
I get several messages saying:
ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported
a few of which also generate a message:
Failed to set encryption.
I'd like to verify that this will work before I install but it doesn't
appear to work. Does anyone have any thoughts as to:
1) should I be able to connect to a wireless network with WPA using
the ipw driver?
2) if so, what might be causing the problem I'm seeing?
TIA,
Brad.
