Problems connecting WPA2 TKIP+AES

[Synck]

Ok, I have some problems with connecting to a WPA2 TKIP+AES secured network.
I tried the tutorial in the tutorial forum (third page, last thread)
But its already going wrong from the beginning.

Problem 1: There was no wpa_supplicant.conf file in the /etc folder.
My solution: I created a new textfile with the 'wpa_supplicant.conf' name en copied the blue lines from the tutorial in the file.

Problem 2: When I try the command given in the turtorial it wont work.

bt~#chmod 755/etc/wpa/supplicant.conf
chmod: missing operand after `755/etc/wpa/supplicant.conf'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.

At the moment I'm running BT2 in a virtual machine but I had the same problem when I booted BT2 from my usb drive.

Judging from the error message, I'd say there's a space missing in the command line of your script.

Good thing they write error messages in english and tell you what to type for more help!

thx streaker, there was indeed a space missing

What card are you using and chipset? Seems like your the supplicant doesn't like the default -Dwext driver. Maybe someone who uses rausb0 can help.

I'm using a Asus wl-167g usb stick with a Ralink 2570 chip.

For some reason I can't use my Linksys WMP54G v4 with a Ralink 2500 chip when I'm using a VM but I shall try it whith a real BT2 boot.

I remember something about needing some Ralink 1.0.0 driver being needed for the Ralink chipped cards. Not the 2.0

After banging my head for a couple of days I figured out how to use the RALink chipsets with WPA. Of course, if I had read the SerialMonkey FAQ in the first place, I would have saved myself alot of headache.

Q. How can I get wpa_supplicant to work with legacy drivers ?
A. Legacy drivers do not support wpa_supplicant. All encryption is handled by the driver itself.
RutilT can help you configure encryption in place of other wpa_supplicant GUI tools.

I have a DWL-G122b2(RA2570) and I am using the RA2570 driver from the SerialMonkey project, which compiles very nicely on BT2. Your best bet is to download and compile the nightly CVS tarball.

Use iwconfig to set the essid and rate:

 iwconfig rausb0 essid myap
 iwconfig rausb0 rate 54M //whatever rate your card supports, mine is 54MBps max

To setup WPA use iwpriv, see iwpriv_usage.txt from the driver tarball

 iwpriv rausb0 enc 4 //AES
 iwpriv rausb0 auth 3 //WPA
 iwpriv rausb0 wpapsk "your key here"

HTH,

Very interesting elazar. Thanks for helping.

No problem. I wasted a good part of my Labor Day weekend on this
