I'm using a BeagleBoard-xM with Ubuntu 11.10 on it. The problem is with a NetGear WNA1000M using the RTL8192CU firwmare. I'm quite new to Linux, so treat me gently please! I'd really like Larry Finger to reply if possible, since he seems to have done the most work on this. What happens is I cannot connect to my wireless access point that has been setup using the following hostapd.conf: interface=wlan1 driver=nl80211 ssid=EnvisicAccessPoint hw_mode=g channel=1 auth_algs=3 wpa=3 wpa_passphrase=GoofyPhrase wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP rsn_pairwise=CCMP macaddr_acl=0 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0 eapol_key_index_workaround=0 I already have isc-dhcp-server running in the background pointing to wlan1. I launch hostapd using the following command: hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf I get a bunch of output to the console, and when I try to connect using my Windows 7 machine, it seems like it's trying to negotiate a connection, however it does not succeed and repeatedly gives me the following in the output log: WPA: 00:1a:73:bb:f8:11 WPA_PTK entering state PTKSTART wlan1: STA 00:1a:73:bb:f8:11 WPA: sending 1/4 msg of 4-Way handshake WPA: Send EAPOL(version=2 secure=0 mic=0 ack=1 install=0 pairwise=8... wlan1: STA 00:1a:73:bb:f8:11 WPA: EAPOL-Key timeout Eventually it unauthorizes the port and deauthenticates it. I'm not sure how to proceed so as to get a proper connection. My BeagleBoard has the drivers stored at /lib/modules/3.1.6-x6/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu and the firmware stored at /lib/firmware/rtlwifi. A dump of lsmod yields the following: Module Size Used by arc4 1195 2 rtl8192cu 89347 0 rtl8192cu_common 62334 1 rtl8192cu rtlwifi 71274 1 rtl8192cu mac80211 259211 3 rtl8192cu,rtl8192c_common,rtlwifi cfg80211 164606 2 rtlwifi,mac80211 rfkill 17026 1 cfg80211 smsc95xx 10950 0 usbhid 34524 0 gpio_keys 6801 0 rtc_ds1307 6350 0 rtc_twl 4402 0 Can you point me in the right direction? I've burned many hours on this and would like to use this dongle for a 3D scanner we're building... Thanks ahead of time!
