... Comments in the DESCR file for your port of wpa_supplicant state: wpa_supplicant is the implementation of an IEEE 802.1X supplicant. This port is for wired authentication only (Ethernet PAE) and does not support the wireless WPA/WPA2 functionality. I tried using the example from Aachen to try to get wireless WPA/WPA2 to work. This was some time ago, but I never got it to work here. Of course that could well be a reflection on my lack of skills. The setup here is similar to that described by the original requestor. If I plug in a USB wireless device into my desktop and run a scan I see: anquetil.bath.ac.uk ?// ./wifiprobe rum0 wifiprobe: Wireless access selection for device: rum0 Available public networks . . . . . . . . . . score --------------------------------------------------- 1 BUCS-WiFi 111 2 BTOpenzone 111 3 BTOpenzone 111 4 BUCS-WiFi 111 Available secured networks --------------------------------------------------- 5 eduroam 111 6 eduroam 111 Select network> 0 anquetil.bath.ac.uk ?// The "BUCS-WiFi" network is our unsecured network. You have to authenticate to use it. The "BTOpenzone" network is there for visitors to use if they can't access via "eduroam". I believe you need an account to use "BTOpenzone". -- Dennis Davis, BUCS, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK d.h.da...@bath.ac.uk Phone: +44 1225 386101
