Knoppix 3.9 / WPA-PSK / D-Link AirPlusXtremeG (DWL-G650)
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 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!!

OK: This is how you get it working.
Here is the proper invokcation of wpa_supplicant:
wpa_supplicant -D madwifi -c wpa_supplicant.conf -i ath0
After authentication with the network, then you need to grab an IP address using DHCP.
This is done by typing:
pump -i ath0
AND YOU ARE DONE! Finally after two weeks of strugglng, I have finally got it working.
Good luck to others who also have this problem.

Would you consider updating the new wiki section on wireless networking with your experience on this card please? Thanks. I've created a stub entry to make it easy for you, you can just click on the [EDIT] link to the right of DWL-G650 to edit that section.
