wpa_supplicant

[Randomthots]

Anyone know anything about wpa_supplicant?

My OS is Fedora Core 4 with the latest kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.stk16
I installed wpa_supplicant using the wpa_supplicant-0.3.9-8.rhfc4.at rpm
package.
I am running a Dell Truemobile 1350 PCMCIA card using ndiswrapper and
the bcmwl5 driver. All is fine in cleartext and using WEP.

My AP is set to use WPA-PSK using TKIP. My passphrase is "This is a
test". I set it to broadcast my SSID.

My wpa conf file looks like:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=2

network={
ssid="engelsman1"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
psk="This is a test"
}

I invoke wpa_supplicant with this command:

$ wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/my_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper -d -w

It almost works... I get the following output:

Associated with 00:13:10:1f:e9:f7
Authentication with 00:13:10:1f:e9:f7 timed out.
Trying to associate with SSID "engelsman1"
Disconnect event - remove keys

Over and over and over...

The MAC address is right, so it's seeing my AP. But the WPA
authentication isn't happening. Anybody see what's wrong?

TIA

Use wpa_passphrase to encrypt your psk and enter the the encrypted
key in your config file.
