Subject: [gentoo-user] WPA with wireless-tools
Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2006 17:31:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10610081731y5268a6c3nd3ad4cbb990ae6b9@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I've been using wpa_supplicant to connect to my Gentoo router, and I'm
wondering if I can use wireless-tools instead.  I have the following
/etc/conf.d/net:

config_ath0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_ath0="default via 192.168.0.1"
essid_ath0="mynetwork"
channel_ath0="11"
iwpriv_ath0=( "wpa 1" )
key_mynetwork="s:mykey"

/etc/init.d/net.ath0 returns no errors, has all the right output, and
my PCMCIA card's LEDs are blinking like they are connected, but I
can't ping the router.  I get "Destination Host Unreachable".  If I
switch back to wpa_supplicant it works perfectly.  I did notice,
however, that intentionally submitting the wrong password with
wireless-tools has the same effect.

Can anyone help?
