I'm trying to get my laptop to connect to the wireless access point at
work. It has a Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG minipci card, and can
associate with my access point at home. In addition, I can get an
Ubuntu 8.10 liveCD to connect to the access point at work via
NetworkManager. So there is definitely no incompatibility between the
wireless card and access point.
Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf file:
network={
ssid="Mckella280Front"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
psk="#########"
}
The preshared key is definitely correct, as it's the one that works
with the liveCD. For the sake of testing, I've removed the reference to
my wireless AP at home.
I'm attaching the output from wpa_supplicant run with -dd. Basically,
it keeps scanning but only ever sees the tmobile network. That's
actually coming from another person in the building using a tmobile
wireless broadband card. If she's not here, the scan never picks up
anything. Similarly, 'ifconfig iwi0 list scan' only picks up the
tmobile ssid.
Yet, if I reboot off the liveCD, it works. Here's the output of 'iwlist
eth1 scanning' under the liveCD:

The only thing I can think of is that the AP is using some feature that
the iwi driver, or wpa_supplicant, doesn't support.
Is there someway to get this working?
You don't indicate a freebsd version. Is your ap configured to hide the
ssid?
