WPA2-PSK does not work with Intel 5100 AGN Card.

[sieger007]

I used KwifiManager - turned out to be a primitive piece and I beleive does not support WPA2
tried WiCD and it throws up with too many errors.
iwlist scan will show networks and I can connect to unsecured ones.

I tried to put info into the /etc/network/interfaces ( see the # commented info - I used Wext and Iwlang and none of them work )

Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Intel 4965/5xxx iwlagn - [phy0]
(monitor mode enabled on mon7)


Analysis : ( Not sure If I am right - you tell me )
So airmon tells me that iwlagn is the driver whereas wext is what wpa_supplicant mentions. Now is wext a generic name that will include iwlagn below it or both are at the same level , which means it could be a hopeless excersie getting iwlagn driver run on Intel 51000 agn as this iwlagn is not mentioned in list of drivers supported OR I can hope to get wext running instead of iwlagn and that in turn will work..? If that is the cause- that is if in fact if it is only then - how do I unload iwlagn and load wext .


/etc/network/interfaces

auto eth2

and when I restart /etc/init.d/networking I get wlan0 no DHCP offers received. Sleeping ....

ANY IDEA folks ..how to get this running
Thanks many

Well at least you're making an effort. Try Googling some of those wicd errors you are getting to see if you can find a solution that way, and if you want to try a manual configuration of your card try following this guide from the old BackTrack wiki, just use dhclient instead of dhcpcd. Also, if you want to see the lines that will be recognised in the /etc/network/interfaces file try a "man interfaces" at the comment line.
