Issue resolved ... had to use wext instead of ndiswrapper as drivers when calling wpa_supplicant
I have the Knoppix 5 Live CD and I am currently using it with a Dell Laptop and I'm trying it on an old desktop I have laying around. I have been able to configure my wireless card to connect to an unsecured network thanks to the documentation here. However, I can't seem to make my connection work at home since I use WPA-AES. I tried to configure my wpa_supplicant.config, but even then I was unable to connect to my network. My connection settings are:
WPA-Personal (AES authentication)
Channel 6
Mixed Mode
wpa_supplicant file
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="home"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="my hex passphrase"
}
then when I run:
wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 -D ndiswrapper
I get a message that the AP cannot associate w/ driver.
Any suggestions?![]()
