Hello, everyone here! Disclaimer: I know nothing about technical side of wireless security and wireless networking in general.
I'm sitting in a caffee with a protected wireless network available for clients. I was told the NWID and KEY settings, and I try to connect with command: "ifconfig iwn0 nwid NWID wpakey KEY" which doesn't get me connected. I booted to linux and using "iwlist" I found out that network uses WPA1 with PSK akms and TKIP both as pairwise and group cipher. As I know that these settings are supported on OpenBSD, I rebooted to OpenBSD and got connected with a command: nwid "La Esquina" chan 6 bssid 00:1c:f0:b1:80:f4 209dB 54M privacy,short_preamble,pbcc,short_slottime So, my questions are: 1. how can I determine the settings of the protected wireless network I connect to? In linux I can run "iwlist ifname scan" which will give me protection details. What can I do on OpenBSD to get them (ifconfig ifname scan doesn't give detailed information)? 2. As I read on "man ifconfig", the defaults are: akms psk wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2 Why don't I get connected to the network described above with just specifying NWID and KEY? Thanks in advance. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
