I've been using wpa_supplicant to connect to my Gentoo router, and I'm wondering if I can use wireless-tools instead. I have the following /etc/conf.d/net:
config_ath0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" routes_ath0="default via 192.168.0.1" essid_ath0="mynetwork" channel_ath0="11" iwpriv_ath0=( "wpa 1" ) key_mynetwork="s:mykey" /etc/init.d/net.ath0 returns no errors, has all the right output, and my PCMCIA card's LEDs are blinking like they are connected, but I can't ping the router. I get "Destination Host Unreachable". If I switch back to wpa_supplicant it works perfectly. I did notice, however, that intentionally submitting the wrong password with wireless-tools has the same effect. Can anyone help? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
