wpa_supplicant not working on rt61 chipset & WPA2 personal encyrption

Hilariousity · 2010-09-05 21:45:43

I bought a wrt610n router recently so I can get all of my wireless devices internet access. I have setup the router as an access point with WPA2 personal encryption and can get my Ipod touch online wirelessly just fine, but I can't seem to get my arch laptop online following the instructions in the wiki. My Edimax EW-7108PCg card cannot seem to associate with the access point. Here is the output from my wpa_supplicant.conf file

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel

network={
ssid="I_Hear_You_Having_Sex"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=I'm not giving you my psk
}

When I run "sudo wpa_supplicant -dd -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" I receive the output

but the card will not associate with the access point. I know this because when the card associates with a wireless device a light on the card comes on. What should I do?

This is how my WPA2 config looks:

network={
    ssid="Zeus 802.11n"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        proto=WPA2
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP
}

How about leaving all that protocol stuff out (wpa_supplicant doesn't need it) and trying like that? You can also check the association state of your card by doing

$ wpa_cli status
Selected interface 'intel'
bssid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ssid=Zeus 802.11n
id=0
pairwise_cipher=CCMP
group_cipher=CCMP
key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=10.0.0.5
