Yes, strange that Windows host shows WPA2 enabled AP

I tried your settings but it doesn't help
I had some errors though

voyage:~# hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Line 23: unknown configuration item 'eapol_key_index_wokraround'
2 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf'

May be you have a different version of the hostapd. My version is 0.5.10

Could it be that madwifi version of the driver does not support my card?
I have following chipset
wifi0: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC 5.9, PHY 2112 4.3, Radio 4.6)

Cannot find madwifi driver version though

[Voyage-linux] Ralink Wireless Problem

2009-04-13 Thread Alan O'Donovan

Hello,

I have Voyage 0.6.1 running running successfully on a VIA mini-ITX board which 
I ssh into remotely via ethernet. I have added a EDIMAX PCI wireless card 
(Ralink chip set) as I wish to ssh into the box via a wireless connection. I 
copied the firmwear driver (rt2561s.rts) into /lib/firmware/ and altered the 
/etc/network/interfaces file to read:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 10.1.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.1.10.255
up iwconfig wlan0 essid BigAl mode Master
up nat.sh wlan0 eth0 10.1.10.0/24

Initially when the system boots syslog reports - Apr 13 09:38:51 voyage vmunix: 
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready.  Although iwlist wlan0 scan 
works that is about as far as the wireless system seems to operate. The 
ifwconfig command produces:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:BigAl 
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated 
Tx-Power=3 dBm 
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B 
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

I noticed from a previous report concerning a Ralink USB stick that there may 
be a problem with the kernel and Ralink drivers. If anyone could shed some 
light on this problem I would be grateful, also being new to the world of 
wireless networking I'm not too sure whether I have done things correctly or 
whether I'm missing a configuration file.

Thanks in anticipation,

Alan

Re: [Voyage-linux] HOWTO: How do I make an image that I can write to a CF card?

2009-04-13 Thread Sean
Interesting. I tried similar methods but it did not work when I tried to 
write the image to a CF card and boot it. Have you tried this method and 
then write the image to a CF card?

Hello Voyagers,

Lots of people on this list have asked how they can make an image of 
their CF card. I have been trying to figure out how to do this, and I 
finally made a breakthrough. Here are some easy instructions on how to 
make an image of your CF card. This is handy for your field techs that 
only have Windows. :D

This post is over a month old, but responding anyway.

The following blog post describes a different way to do this.  This guy
has figured out how to install Grub to a disk image file so this method
doesn't require a physical device at all.
