Hi,
one of my networks is still WEP protected and has its SSID hidden. My
configuration:
iface wlan-some-site inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid some-ssid
wpa-key-mgmt NONE
wpa-wep-key0 <deleted>
wpa-wep-tx-keyidx 0
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-scan-ssid 1
The wireless LAN interface takes a long time to associate with the
network. I frequently need to try ifup eth1=wlan-some-site multiple
times before the network eventually comes up. While waiting, iwconfig
eth1 shows that no ssid and no wep key has yet been configured into
the card, so wpasupplicant seems to be waiting for something before
doing so.
Manually configuring the ssid and key makes the interface associate
immediately.
Perhaps wpa_supplicant did not know what key to use.
Thanks, Kel.
