I have been trying to get my wireless adapter working under RC4 as I want to really use the new features of 3d & wobbly windows in the test release.
 
 
I use netcardconfig to configure DHCP or Static IP configuration, which is not for some unknown reason setting up the WPA & TKIP side of the config.
 
 
See below things I have tried and the output of the commands I ran.
 
 
Can anyone see why I cannot get the config to work?

          I have been working through             . The section of 
 
"A log of /sbin/wpa_action's actions is created at /var/log/wpa_action.log, please attach the log when reporting problems" there is no log file of this sort in the directory...
 
 
Is FAQ-id_cat-140.html upto date for RC 4 release or is it for Debian or earlier RC versions to follow though and work? |

 kelmo hat folgendes geschrieben:: 
/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz is the definitive document.
 
 
 
Is there an easy way to read this document, apart from untarring it manually and read it's contents ?
 
 
Many Thx

          | I think something in the cvs tree for Madwifi, that has changed in the working RC3 release, that has changed in the RC4 release, which is screwing up the way netcardconfig configures the interfaces and wpa_supplicant.conf file. Even with the http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/no ... -1_all.deb applied it's made no difference to the getting the configuration to work. |

          x3dre, do you want to discuss this issue here? or privately via email? Makes _no_ sense to me to do both.
 
 
Having said that, its not sufficient to just install that package, you must replace your existing madwifi modules by making a new set of modules for your kernel. In my email to you, i pointed to the file that explains that process briefly, although I do not expect that it will be an easy process for those new to it. |

          Here's what I had to do with the help of kelmo    
 
 
1. Configure the networking in netcardconfig as per the router settings needed for the clients connecting to it.
 
 
ping router address & outside world. More than likely you will not be able to ping the outside world but may be you might be abled to ping the router intermittently... Though both may not work..
 
 
2. Do modinfo ath_pci | grep -i ^version 
 
    version: svn r1722 
 
 
 
A problem is described at: http://madwifi.org/ticket/925 
 
 
 
Do a search on r1722 and related other notes based around this, it will point to a bug that will be fixed by doing the below.
 
 
Use the madwifi-source package from debian, with is based 
 
on r1710. This version should work with TKIP. 
 
 
 
Download : http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/no ... -1_all.deb 
 
 
 
3. Do a : dpkg -l | grep module-ass to check if you have the module-assistant already installed : do; apt-get install module-assistant or it is possible to download http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... .6_all.deb
 
 
4. Do a  : dpkg -i madwifi-source_
 
 
5.  Do a : dpkg -i module-assistant
 
 
6. Do : su - and then m-a a-i madwifi this will do the modules needed for the kernel to build in the new madwifi wireless modules.
 
 
7. Reboot - when the rebooting is finished, in the bottom right hand corner there should be the two little red lights on. Therefore allowing router & world access to all protocol net bound.
 
 
This process worked for me, with great help from Kel & related documents...

          Great that it worked out for you...hopefully will help others with the same card. Eventually there should be a fixed package released   |
