I've got a ThinkPad x220 with a Centrino Ultimate-N 6300, and I'm
trying to get it to connect to a WPA1 WiFi network. Network has a
password.
Steps taken thus far:
Tested WiFi on Linux
Update WiFi drivers with fw_update via ethernet
Verified /etc/firmware/iwn-6000 exists (it does)
dmesg:
dmesg | grep iwn
iwn0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300"
rev 0x3e: msi, MIM0 3T3R, MoW, address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Scanning networks works:
ifconfig iwn0 scan
iwn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
index 2 priority 4 llprio 3
groups: wlan
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1 mode 11g)
status: no network
ieee80211: nwid MYSSID chan 6 bssid yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy -58dBm
wpakey 0x.... wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2 wpaakms psk wpacipchers
tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip
nwid MYSSID chan 6 bssid yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy -58dBm HT-MCS15
privacy,short_slottime,wpa1
... #other networks
...
Of course, I attempted `dhclient iwn0` with both /etc/hostname.iwn0,
and `ifconfig iwn0 nwid MYSSID wpa wpakey xxxx up`, and both
achieved this:
dhclient iwn0
iwn0: no link ........... sleeping
The WiFi light on my laptop is constantly blinking too.
Does this indicate anything?
Thanks,
Austin Bentley
