Hi! I'm unable to access my WiFi router. The problem is, that every attempt to register by using wpa_supplicant is refused:
#v+ wpa_supplicant v2.0 Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant Initializing interface 'rum0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'default' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A' Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' ctrl_interface='/var/run/wpa_supplicant' ctrl_interface_group='wheel' ap_scan=0 Priority group 0 id=0 ssid='MY-SSID' rum0: Own MAC address: 00:19:f9:2d:74:99 rum0: RSN: flushing PMKID list in the driver rum0: Setting scan request: 0 sec 100000 usec EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state DISCONNECTED EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized EAPOL: KEY_RX entering state NO_KEY_RECEIVE EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state INITIALIZE EAP: EAP entering state DISABLED EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized ctrl_interface_group=0 (from group name 'wheel') rum0: Added interface rum0 rum0: State: DISCONNECTED -> DISCONNECTED EAPOL: disable timer tick EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized rum0: Removing interface rum0 rum0: Request to deauthenticate - bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 pending_bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 reason=3 state=DISCONNECTED rum0: No keys have been configured - skip key clearing rum0: State: DISCONNECTED -> DISCONNECTED EAPOL: External notification - portEnabled=0 EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized EAPOL: External notification - portValid=0 EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized rum0: No keys have been configured - skip key clearing rum0: Cancelling scan request rum0: Cancelling authentication timeout rum0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING #v- My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf: #v+ ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel ap_scan=0 network={ ssid="MY-SSID" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk=*VERY-LONG-STRING* } #v- (of course, there isn't literally *VERY-LONG-STRING* there) My hostname.rum0: #v+ wpa dhclient #v- (from what I see, most probably "wpa" line is ignored) It's not a problem with flawed network description; I successfully tested it on Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. Actually, all the three were quite pleased with even shorter version, like this: #v+ network={ ssid="MY-SSID" psk=*VERY-LONG-STRING* } #v- I made attempts using Linksys and Atheros USB-dongles - but it doesn't seem to be hardware dependent; in both cases it failed to log into my WiFi-point. Looks like probably psk-sequence is passed with errors? I noticed one more thing: Linksys dongle was during boot-up - with wpa_supplicant inactive - trying to register at my neighbour's WiFi access point (most probably he's using some other authentication scheme), of course, it wasn't successful - no Internet connection - but dhclient was able to obtain IP address from his local network. Anyway, I'm interested in connecting to my own access point, that's why I'm asking: does OpenBSD's wpa_supplicant need some "special treatment" - or it doesn't support authentication using PSK-string at all? One more question: assuming, that with a little help I'll make it work, I'll need it to make it run _before_ the system reads /etc/hostname.rum0, where there is dhclient invocation; so how can I execute /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant _earlier_ during system boot-up sequence? Thanks in advance for every helpful tip. -- regards Z.
