Hi all, After some hours of struggling, I can successfully connect the 'Intel PRO/ Wireless 3945ABG' device of my ThinkPad T60p, on Kernel 2.6.22.1 using the iwlwifi driver, via an WPA encrypted connection to my access point. The point is, I used 'wpa_supplicant' for this. My question is now, wasn't the mac80211 subsystem designed to get rid of things like wpa_supplicant? Is there already an other way to configure the iwlwifi driver for WPA/WPA2, without wpa_supplicant? If so, how? Using 'iwpriv'? I did not find any docs or howtos for configuring iwlwifi drivers to use WPA. -------------------------------- Here's how I did it for now: I got the iwlwifi driver (version 0.1.8) from http://intellinuxwireless.org/ together with the microcode image (version iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.14.1.5). It compiles without errors and loading the iwl3945 kernel module works fine and brings up the 'wlan0' interface. Well, only the wlan LED on my ThinkPad does not light! I can use iwconfig to setup the device to connect to open and WEP encrypted access points. To connect to WPA encrypted access points I had to additonally setup wpa_supplicant using the 'wext' driver (Linux wireless extensions (generic)). Now calling # wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf successfully connects to my WPA2 encrypted access point. ----------------------------------------- Regards, Jörg - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
