Hi,
Just a quick report that I have succeed in getting a wifi link from my
Acer laptop with a Broadcom BCM4318 chip active to a SpeedTouch 716
using WPA-PSK with AES. Unfortunately not with NetworkManager. Whatever
I do, if NetworkManager is involved things stop working and the door
handles fall off, except for LAN cable connections which work fine.
This is how I run wpa_supplicant (just from the command line, no daemon)
# /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth1 \
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
# ifup eth1
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant:
INTERFACES="-ieth1"
DRIVERS="-Dwext"
Contents of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="<name of my wifi box>"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk="<my passphrase in plain text without 0x prepended>"
}
If anyone in the know could kindly direct me to where the
wpa_supplicant/bcm43xx/NetworkManager combo bugzilla entry lives and
what kind of logs they need, I'll be happy to provide them.
Regards,
Patrick
