In that file put all your access points that you want to connect to like the following: eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 # # A wpa-psk Site # network={ ssid="WPA-PSK" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP CCMP group=TKIP CCMP WEP104 WEP40 psk="wgb9hadi5ektw996s77z4efi4o" eap=TTLS PEAP TLS } # # A wep Site # network={ ssid="Wep" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=NONE group=WEP104 wep_key0=BFCD56D8186852F2247A54F1AF wep_tx_keyidx=0 } # # Attempt at any wireless # network={ ssid="" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=NONE } I have many sites in my wpa_supplicant file and I connect to the closest one at the time. The only thing that I have in my network file for my wireless is the following: hotplug_wlan0="no" wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dhostap" config_wlan0=( "dhcp") dhcpcd_wlan0="" Sean On Wednesday 31 August 2005 11:52 am, Nick Smith wrote: > Im having a heck of a time getting wep to work with either iwconfig or > wpa_supplicant, ive followed the how-to, read over the wiki pages, and > looked at the example file in /etc and i still cannot get it to let me > connect with WEP, i can see the AP, get the freg/voltage etc, but i cant > get an ip from it. my setup is this: i have a wireless access point at > home that i want to connect to using WEP and also an AP at the office > that i want to connect to using WEP, i can connect to both with WEP > turned off, so i know my wireless is working. does someone have a > similar setup on their machine that they could possibly post their > config file? either conf.d/net or conf.d/wireless or both, (im just > using /net per the how-tos) > > my config as of now looks like this: > > modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) > wpa_supplicant_eth1="-prism54" > wpa_timeout_eth1=30 > > #associate_order="any" > #essid_eth1="any" > #preferred_aps=( "computernick" ) > #associate_order_eth1="any" > > key_computernick="s:c0mputernick! enc open" > #key_ESSID2="[1] s:CE73E751EE [1] enc open" > > #preferred_aps=( "ESSID1" ) > > #config_ESSID1=( "dhcp" ) > #fallback_ESSID1=( "192.168.0.55/24 brd 192.168.0.255" ) > #fallback_route_ESSID1=( "default via 192.168.0.69" ) > > #config_ESSID2=( "dhcp" ) > #fallback_ESSID2=( "192.168.1.200/24 brd 192.168.1.255" ) > #fallback_route_ESSID2=( "default via 192.168.1.2" ) > > #dhcpcd_eth0="-t 15" > #dhcpcd_eth1="-t 15" > > > i commented out alot of stuff for troubleshooting purposes but it didnt > help. i cant get either one to connect with WEP enabled. i want to try > to get wpa working because from what i have read and heard it is more > advanced that iwconfig, lets you connect to wpa enc and i think it does > scanning as well. > > any help or a config file would be greatly appreciated. > > thanks > > Nick -- Sean Higgins, sean@systura.com http://www.systura.com - "Where information becomes knowledge." -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
