Hi, I am Simon and I am new in this mail list.
I am experiencing problems enabling encryption key after creating an
IBSS network through wpa_supplicant.
I can create the network, which is visible from other devices, but it
appears always as unprotected, even if encryption key is configured.
The version of wpa_supplicant is 2.3.
This is an example of mine wpa_supplicant.conf file (the same I always
used):
ap_scan=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="my-net-302"
mode=1
frequency=2412
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=10
wep_key0="password"
}
and after running:
wpa_supplicant -D nl80211,wext -i wlan0
-c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
The output returns:
wpa_supplicant v2.3
random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random

You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file
was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will
need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.

nl80211: Failed to set STA flag: -95 (Operation not supported)
which seems to be where the issue come from.
I understand this is a driver's problem.
If I comment the line:
wep_key0="password"
into the configuration file, devices can connect to the network, but
this is unprotected.
Do you know if this is a known problem ?
Is it sure this is a problem from nl80211 driver ?
What I could do to fix this problem ?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Simon
