Hello,
Thanks for reading this post. I am _struggling_ to get wireless working on my laptop with Knoppix 3.9.
I have a wireless network with WPA-PSK enabled. I have already got a Windows notebook going on the
network, but I am having trouble getting a different notebook running Knoppix going. I have a
D-Link DWL-G650 PCMCIA card. The output of cardctl info is:
Does the wPRODID_1="Atheros Communications, Inc."
PRODID_2="AR5001-0000-0000"
PRODID_3="Wireless LAN Reference Card"
PRODID_4="00"
MANFID=0271,0012
FUNCID=6
Knoppix appears to detect the card and load the Atheros driver without a problem.
Does the wpa_supplicant software come with madwifi support? Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf file:
network={
ssid="qshot"
scan_ssid=0
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
psk=20d57f08127c079f599df23a13513c8708028b73d49860 c9b3b7d00b3a8c1a96
}
I then run the command:
wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 ifup ath0
But I get the following error:
octl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Operation not supported
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
Failed to enable WPA in the driver.
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
Failed to disable WPA in the driver.
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
According to this web site (http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wpa_802.11i) I am doing the right thing, but it is not working. What am I doing wrong? It looks like the wpa_supplicant application is using
the wrong driver. What should I specify for the -d flag?
Is Knoppix even setup to have wpa_supplicant use madwifi drivers?
Thanks for any tips or suggestions!!
