Hi all!

I own a Toshiba laptop P100-400 with a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless
adapter.
I've managed to get it working with normal WEP authentication, but no
success with wpa_supplicant (and I really need it for WPA auth).

Ugly, uh? :/

/etc/conf.d/net extract:

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf extract (the problem isn't here
though, it fails with all types of configurations):

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

network={
        ssid="XXXXXXXXXX"

        auth_alg=SHARED
        wep_key0="XXXXXXX"
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
}



Sorry for the length.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
.

Best regards,

José Pedro
