Has anyone else noticed a problem with wireless authentication using
wpa_supplicant? Following a router change and consequent messing with
passphrases, my Thinkpad with iwl4965 chipset has ceased to
authenticate. It can easily connect with the wireless router if the
router is 'open' but fails on WEP, WPA and WPA2. The household's mac
airbook, ipad, iphone and android phone have no difficulty.
I have tried deleting all /etc/sysconfig/network* files, as well as
those in wicd and wpa_supplicant and recreating but no joy.
Interestingly, the psk reported by a 'iwlist wlan0 scan' for my router
is nothing like the psk produced by 'wpa_passphrase essid
mysecretpassphrase'
scan: 1382882a0e39633131ca70df0db2a9bff9a8f142d47cdde921740e27aea26c77

Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Fedora 17 on 3.5.5.-1, wpa_supplicant, wpa_supplicant-1.0-1.fc17.x86_64
I hope the psk and the passphrase you posted are not your REAL
psk and passphrase values.
What tool did you use to configure your wlan0, and did you (in that
tool) provide the ESSID name, AP MAC address, security mode (WPA2-xxx...
etc) and ascii passphrase? Also how did you "Activate" the interface?
Did you provide a static IP or selected DHCP?
