>Description:
PA PSK does not work in adhoc mode.
According to the "wpa_supplicant Reference Manual 0.4.x" it should be possible:
---------------------------------------------
IEEE 802.11 operation mode (Infrastucture/IBSS).
0 = infrastructure (Managed) mode, i.e., associate with an AP.
1 = IBSS (ad-hoc, peer-to-peer)
Note: IBSS can only be used with key_mgmt NONE (plaintext and static WEP) and
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE (?xed group key TKIP/CCMP). In addition, ap_scan has to be
set to 2 for IBSS. WPA-None requires following network block options:
proto=WPA, key_mgmt=WPA-NONE, pairwise=NONE, group=TKIP
(or CCMP, but not both), and psk must also be set (either directly or using
ASCII passphrase).
--------------------------------------------
My supplicant file:
mesh-9ddd:~ # more /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="ptamesh"
mode=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
pairwise=NONE
group=TKIP
psk="mesh-ipv6"
}
If I run wpa_supplicant in debug mode it shows that the wireless card is trying to do a ssid scan, but then it fails because the adapter is in Adhoc mode.
Debug mode output:
mesh-9ddd:~ # wpa_supplicant -d -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

>How-To-Repeat:
Create the following wpa_supplicant.conf file and run wpa_supplicant in it's debug mode.
mesh-9ddd:~ # more /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="ptamesh"
mode=1

key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
