[solved] Intel 3945 & WPA

Hello,

I finally received my Thinkpad, woo hoo. I am having trouble connecting to WPA on my router. I am using the iwlwifi-3945-ucode driver. I have also installed netcfg and wpa_supplicant. I cannot connect with profiles either for my network directly or through the wpa_supplicant.

$ sudo netcfg wpa_suppl
:: wpa_suppl up                                                          [BUSY] 
 > WPA Authentication/Association Failed

I go to my router and see that an IP was given out for the MAC of the wireless card. So, the problem is in the card itself.

$ dmesg | tail
wlan0: associated
wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:03:2f:2b:57:c9 by local choice (reason=3)
wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:03:2f:2b:57:c9 (try 1)
wlan0: direct probe responded
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:03:2f:2b:57:c9 (try 1)
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with AP 00:03:2f:2b:57:c9 (try 1)
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:03:2f:2b:57:c9 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1)
wlan0: associated
wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:03:2f:2b:57:c9 by local choice (reason=3)

Here is my configuration:

CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa'
ESSID='mreja'
KEY='mykey'
IP='dhcp'

So it is connecting but then disconnecting. Again, this happens with the direct profile (above) and with a wpa_supplicant profile.

Any help would be appreciated.
