It has a Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG minipci card, and can associate with my access point at home. In addition, I can get an Ubuntu 8.10 liveCD to connect to the access point at work via NetworkManager. So there is definitely no incompatibility between the wireless card and access point. Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf file: network={ ssid="Mckella280Front" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP psk="#########" } The preshared key is definitely correct, as it's the one that works with the liveCD. For the sake of testing, I've removed the reference to my wireless AP at home. I'm attaching the output from wpa_supplicant run with -dd. Basically, it keeps scanning but only ever sees the tmobile network. That's actually coming from another person in the building using a tmobile wireless broadband card. If she's not here, the scan never picks up anything. Similarly, 'ifconfig iwi0 list scan' only picks up the tmobile ssid. Yet, if I reboot off the liveCD, it works. Here's the output of 'iwlist eth1 scanning' under the liveCD: eth1 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:22:6B:9A:CC:AF ESSID:"Mckella280Front" Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Frequency:2.457 GHz (Channel 10) Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Quality=50/100 Signal level=-68 dBm IE: WPA Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK Extra: Last beacon: 904ms ago And, iwconfig while connected: eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"Mckella280Front" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.457 GHz Access Point: 00:22:6B:9A:CC:AF Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0 Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=59/100 Signal level=-66 dBm Noise level=-87 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:6 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:3 Give that the network isn't even visible via ifconfig, I'm guessing that this is a problem with the driver and not with wpa_supplicant. The only thing I can think of is that the AP is using some feature that the iwi driver doesn't support. The AP is a Linksys WAP4400N Business Edition. >How-To-Repeat: Install -STABLE and try to connect to this wireless network. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
