wpa_supplicant issue

[Grudge]

I'm using EAP-TLS with FreeRADIUS server. Under Windows all works ok. But under Linux running wpa_supplicant with madwifi I get this:

 

ioctl[sIOCSIWPMKSA]: Operation not supported

Trying to associate with 00:11:6b:60:9e:83 (SSID='network' freq=2417 MHz)

ioctl[iEEE80211_IOCTL_SETMLME]: Argument list too long

Association request to the driver failed

 

My wpa_supplicant.conf:

 

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=0

eapol_version=1

ap_scan=1

 

network={

ssid="network"

key_mgmt=WPA-EAP

proto=WPA

pairwise=TKIP

group=TKIP

eap=TLS

ca_cert="/etc/cert/cacert.pem"

client_cert="/etc/cert/client_cert.pem"

private_key="/etc/cert/client_key.pem"

private_key_passwd="MY_PASS"

}

 

Anyone knows where is the problem?

Have you tried using ndiswrapper instead of madwifi?

Yes, I have tried that, but with no success. And I forgot to say that iwlist scan lists my network.

Just to test, that wireless works, have you tried without all the security? This would at least prove the raw connection part.

 

Then try with just wpa enabled. Then try with TLS on top of this later?

[Grudge]

I have tried running it as open system without any encryption. It worked perfectly. When I switch to WPA-PSK I get the same error as with EAP-TLS (FreeRADIUS). It seems that when I try with wpa_supplicant I get this error regardless of EAP, PSK...

I was using Mandriva's bundled wpa_supplicant. Manually building a new version of wpa_supplicant did help!!

[ianw1974]

Is it working now since you used later version?

[Grudge]

Yes, it works perfectly now with the latest 0.4.7 version, build from source. Before I had Mandriva bundled 0.4.4 version.

I've known issues with ndiswrapper from one version to the next. When a user moved from 10.1 to LE2005 the previous version of ndiswrapper wouldn't work. But when downloaded latest source, it worked a treat!

 

I suppose similar with the wpa_supplicant, in that cards versus OS, etc, all causes a version problem, and the latest sorting it out! :P

 

Glad you're up and running!
