Hello Archfriends,
I have yesterday installed arch but I sheltered to configure my WLAN
follow additional packets are installed: wpa_supplicant; wireless_tools; netcfg
I think my wireless-hardware is working, i can check this with iwlist wlan0:
A lot of wlan-stations appear. Now I have configure my wpa_supplicant.conf:
wpa_passphrase MYWLANESSID "MYPASSWORD" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
This baseconfiguration became improve to:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
update_config=1
network={
ssid="MYWLANSSSID"
key_mgmt=WPA_PSK
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=WPA_PASSPHRASE_CREATED_KEY
}
my rc.conf:
HOSTNAME="mikrofriendly"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1" # its my wlanstation
ROUTES=(!gateway) #I like to use DHCP
NETWORKS=(daheme) #My profile in /etc/network.d/daheme
I have copy wireless-wpa-config in /etc/network.d/examples to /etc/network.d/daheme
my configuration:
CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION"daheme netz"
INTERFACE="wlan0"
SECURITY="wpa-config"
WPA_CONF="/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
IP="dhcp"
Now I check wpa_supplicant and try connect to my wlan station:
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
I show the status with iwconfig wlan0:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=20dBm

wpa_supplicant dont has connected to my wlan-station, whats wrong ?
MfG
Offline
yes
I have found my Problem:
In my Wlanstation, I have the option "hidden SSID name active", now I have this disabled. and I can connect to my Wlan-station with:
delete this: rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
Now I iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"MYWLANSSID"

Bit Rate=54Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Fragment thr:off

Power Management:off
Link Quality=37/70 Signal level=-73dGm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

I restart the system an it works
1. But I have questions, how can I close and (re)start the connection ?
2. How can I configure the timeout during a connection to a wirelessstaion ?
3. In which log-file are all errormessages from the boot-process ?
4. And the last one, I can now create more Networks, with new entries in:
todo list to add a new wlan network:
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -> new network section
/etc/network.d/NETWORKNAME -> its a copy from the examples with corresponding modified entries
/etc/rc.conf -> add the NETWORKNAME in NETWORK array
right or not ?
