Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to ask for help.
I am experiencing problems when I try to create a IBSS netwoork with
wpa_supplicant.
The drivers used for the wifi hardware are the "libertas" and the
wireles adapter is a Marvell WLAN 802.11.
What happens is that when I create the network, it appears always as
unencrypted. I cannot set any encryption key (WEP, WPA etc.)
I can only connect to the IBSS network if this has been set without key.
When I execute wpa_supplicant the output is:
wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
wpa_supplicant v2.3

For information, the wpa_supplicant conf file is:
ap_scan=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="simo_net"
mode=1
frequency=2412
priority=10
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0="hello"
}
Problems persist also recompiling wpa_supplicant 2.5.
>From a research of similar issues through Google, I realized it could be
an issue related to the libertas driver.
At the moment I don't know how to solve. Someone has experienced the
same problems ?
Any suggestion ?
Thank you in advance.
Simon
