wpa_supplicant and ipw2100

[Ian Campbell <ian dal-acm ca>]

Figured I'd give NM 0.6.0 a try with my ipw2100.

Setup wpa_supplicant.conf the way I remembered seeing somewhere on this list,
although for the life of me I can't find it now.

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

wpa_supplicant is started like this:

wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

... and it keeps spitting out this:

RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'eth1' added
Wireless event: cmd=0x8b06 len=8
Wireless event: cmd=0x8b1a len=14
Wireless event: cmd=0x8b15 len=20
Wireless event: new AP: 00:11:95:6b:6e:fe
State: DISCONNECTED -> ASSOCIATED
Associated to a new BSS: BSSID=00:11:95:6b:6e:fe

CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=0 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0
wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=1 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0
wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=2 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0
wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=3 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0
wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=0 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0

... well, except the blacklist count keeps incrementing.

It doesn't appear to be setting the WEP key, so it doesn't associate.

Still happily runs dhclient though.

What am I doing wrong?

Does it matter what order nm-applet and wpa_supplicant are started in? It
doesn't work for me right now in either order, but I was curious.
