Hum... also take a read on the "/usr/share/doc/atmel-firmware/README.gz"
file and ensure it is loading the right driver.

Just a note here. Have you tested with the values provided in the example
file (/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa-psk-tkip.conf)... just in
case?
network={
ssid="your-ssid"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="your_secret_key"
}
You can als try with "proto=RSN" instead "proto=WPA".

Yep, here are the relevant log entries:

Hey, that "Driver does not support WPA" message does not sound very good ;-(

The atmel wpa_supplicant driver backend was only usable with the obsolete atmelwlandriver, not atmel_cs. Building of this backend was disabled in Debian's wpasupplicant package at version 0.6.10-1. Consider using a different device (your laptop has a CardBus slot) with a WPA-capable driver available; any 802.11g device supported by an in-tree driver would provide your necessary support. Note that use of NDISwrapper as a workaround is not possible, as 16-bit PCMCIA devices are not supported.

I apologise for the misconduct, here is the mail in plain text.
Trying to get online wirelessly I encountered problems connecting by means of
wpa_supplicant.
I have an IBM Thinkpad R32 running Debian Lenny without a desktop manager. For
the WLAN connection I have a PCMCIA WLAN card from 3com. WLAN worked with this
card and this laptop both under Windows and under Ubuntu. The access point I am
trying to connect to only allows WPA2-encrypted connections. With my other
laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad R500, Ubuntu, Gnome) WLAN works fine.
Here is what I did and what the results are:
1.) I boot the laptop with deactivated wired interface eth0 and without the
card inserted, so after startup only loop is up and running.
2.) Plugging in the card causes the kernel modules atmel and atmel_cs to be
loaded and the card is recognized by the laptop as eth1: Atmel at76c50x.
Version 0.98. MAC 00:04:75:db:c8:e7. The light on the card turns on and stays
on, and iwconfig lists eth1 as available wireless interface with managed mode.
3.) When running ifconfig eth1 up, the light at the card is turned off.
Everything seems to go fine, dmesg -c gives
[ 1756.247035] firmware: requesting atmel_at76c502_3com-wpa.bin
[ 1756.368570] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
4.) Now I try to connect to the access point using wpa_supplicant. To this end
I created a configuration file with the following content:
# /et/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="NETCONNECT-7124"
psk=""
}
Running wpa_supplicant -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i
eth1 -dd causes the light to turn on, flush, and turn off. Meanwhile,
wpa_supplicant scans the access points, finds the right one (and some more),
but cannot connect to any of them. It says 'No suitable AP found' and loops
into the next try. Before the scanning it also states that 'Driver does not
support WPA'. I add the exact output and the dmesg below.
When I interrupt the process with ctrl^c the light of the card turns on and
stays on, and indeed ifconfig shows that eth1 was brought down. iwconfig shows
no changes compared to the starting point before running wpa_supplicant.
I also tried to use the atmel driver explicitely, so (after bringing up eth1
again) ran wpa_supplicant -D atmel -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
-i eth1 -dd. This works even worse, as it seems (see below), and in any case
does not result in a connection with the access point. iwconfig is unchanged
again.
Finally I also tried not to bring up eth1 before running wpa_supplicant. In
this case wpa_supplicant seems to bring it up itself in any of the two driver
cases, but the rest is exactly identical, so in the end I cannot connect.
And that's where I'm stuck.
I would really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!

WPA2-WLAN on Laptop with PCMCIA card and wpa_supplicant
Trying to get online wirelessly I encountered problems connecting by means of wpa_supplicant.
I have an IBM Thinkpad R32 running Debian Lenny without a desktop manager. For the WLAN connection I have a PCMCIA WLAN card from 3com. WLAN worked with this card and this laptop both under Windows and under Ubuntu. The access point I am trying to connect to only allows WPA2-encrypted connections. With my other laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad R500, Ubuntu, Gnome) WLAN works fine.

The light on the card turns on and stays on, and iwconfig lists eth1 as available wireless interface with managed mode.
3.) When running ifconfig eth1 up, the light at the card is turned off. Everything seems to go fine, dmesg -c gives
[ 1756.247035] firmware: requesting atmel_at76c502_3com-wpa.bin

Re: laptop with PCMCIA
I did that once on a 486 laptop ..what i did.. 1) install debian on my desktop PC and do a basic configuration of all the packages i want 2) take a drive image of that partition using whatever program you like, i used powerquest drive image. 3) burn the image to a cd 4) make a boot disk with the dos pcmcia drivers for the pcmcia drive 5) boot the boot disk and restore the image to the drive on the laptop in my case it was kinda tricky since the install said it neded about 440mb of space, and i have a 540mb hd, but i found myself scrambling to rm -rf stuff during the install so i'd have enough space(i made a 540mb partition to install to on my desktop pc) may not be exactly what you are looking for but it worked perfectly. nate On Fri, 31 Dec 1999, Alejandro Flores Jimenez wrote: flores > flores >Does anyone know how to install debian 2.13 on a laptop where flores >the CDROM is connected only via PCMCIA card? flores > flores >Thanks flores > flores >Alex Flores flores > flores >Alejandro Flores Jimenez flores >Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya flores >Edif.
