Solved: WPA-PSK: wpa_supplicant connection problems

#1 Post by fried »

Hi there, I have trouble connecting to WPA-PSK encrypted Wifi .

I have ipw2200 firmware installed from the dotpub and run wpa-connect, according to the wpa_supplicant dotpub readme

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

echo "Configuring Wireless LAN with WPA"
echo

## load your driver
modprobe ipw2200
## bring up the wireless interface, unconfigured
ifconfig eth1 up
## now start wpa_supplicant
## first remove stale wpa_supplicant file if it exists
if [ -e /var/run/wpa_supplicant/ ]; then rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/*; fi
wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D ipw -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
sleep 20

## for automatic IP
## first remove stale dhcpcd file if it exists
if [ -e /etc/dhcpc/*.pid ]; then rm /etc/dhcpc/*.pid; fi
dhcpcd -t 30 -h puppypc -d eth1

## or for static IP
## modify /etc/resolv.conf to include your nameservers
#ifconfig ath0 192.168.0.xx broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
#route add default gw 192.168.0.1 ath0   # or whatever your router's IP is
with this wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: Select all

# wpa_supplicant configuration file for
# WPA-PSK/TKIP

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

## To use a hidden SSID, uncomment the following line
#ap_scan=1

network={
        ssid="SF81gpYJI9cqesDELMdHPBI9pSGgODqf"
        #psk="k1CdGYxeVAQt5IFsCvkq7nxiZSaO6w3VRDuLAyESdiOTcGCjxlvQMJVYgha2uZb"

}
and this is the output I get in the console:

It looks like you may have deleted some important lines from wpa_supplicant.conf -

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP

Of course, these are just the default settings I provided. Your router may use a different config.

in Ubuntu under Gnome, there is a handy little tool called 'networkmanager applet' which sorts out WPA very well. Is there a similar tool for puppy available?

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but first make sure you can connect to an UNENCRYPTED wifi network before going further. You want to make sure that WPA encryption is the true problem.

Then it should be just a matter of getting the correct settings in your wpa_supplicant.conf file.
You can refer to your wifi router's manual and my wpa_supplicant README to work it out for yourself, but frankly, it's complex. I don't understand most of it ... TKIP versus CCMP etc, etc.
I suggest Google. Search for "<your router model> & wpa_supplicant.conf"
Or if you connected successfully with "networkmanager" in Ubuntu, just copy its wpa_supplicant.conf into Puppy.

never mind
I found out it connects well as long as the network is unencrypted

well waiting did not help.

maybe someone understands the authentification part of the console output:

does

Code: Select all

ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported

mean the ipw driver in some way does not support wpa?
(the driver is provided in puppy install, and i added firmware from http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/drivers- ... -and-2.01/

and why does it say:

Code: Select all

WPA: using KEY_MGMT WPA-PSK
WPA: Set own WPA IE default - hexdump(len=24): dd 16 00 50 f2 01 01 00 00 50 f2 02 01 00 00 50 f2 02 01 00 00 50 f2 02
No keys have been configured - skip key clearing
i.e., "No keys have been configured" right after it set the wpa key?
does

Code: Select all

"wpa_driver_ipw_set_drop_unencrypted: enabled=1
mean it then tries to connect as though there is no encryption?

i used the wpa_supplicant from http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/wireless-utilities/, is that correct?

*sigh*

Yes,

Code: Select all

ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported

is probably the key problem ... and I think the answer is here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623
Puppy 2.10 has Wireless Extension v19, so replace "ipw" with "wext".

-D wext instead of -D ipw does not help either

I also tried

Code: Select all

modprobe ipw2200
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_ccmp
to make sure the encryption is installed (found that by googling), to no avail[/code]

actually this makes me wonder whether i have the correct (version) of drivers and wpa_supplicant.

i have:

a Dell Latitude D810 with Intel Wireless Pro 2195abg wifi card

Puppylinux 2.10

Intel PRO/Wireless ipw2200 v1.1.0 Driver for the IPW2200BG and IPW2915ABG
for Puppy Linux v2 with kernel 2.6.16.7 from http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/drivers- ... -and-2.01/

wpa_supplicant v0.5.4, WPA client encryption from
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/wireless-utilities/

a Topcom Skyr@cer Pro WBR 654 wifi router with
Firmware Version: 1.5.1 , 2003/12/22 which works well in XP and Ubuntu

and i just checked: i am using the correct password ;)

also upgraded the Wi-Fi router's firmware to
the newest available Firmware Version: 1.6.6

and now i know for sure it is using WAP-PSK and TKIP, so my wpa_supplicant.conf ought to be correct with

Code: Select all

network={
        ssid="SF81gpYJI9cqesDELMdHPBI9pSGgODqf"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        proto=WPA
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        #psk="k1CdGYxeVAQt5IFsCvkq7nxiZSaO6w3VRDuLAyESdiOTcGCjxlvQMJVYgha2uZb"
        psk=470d9339ddb452cc827f710ffd7a8c6a46f7342a602e76c1273238bddc074d2d
}
Again i tried to start wap_supplicant with -D ipw as well as -D wext, also tried setting -w

have not found a fix yet

Just checking: from http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/drivers- ... -and-2.01/ you can ONLY extract these packages to use the firmware and hotplug scripts in Puppy 2.10. The modules in these packages are incompatible with the 2.10 kernel, so you must use the ipw2200 module already in Puppy 2.10.

I just found this - http://www.bughost.org/ipw/wpa_howto.txt
It mentions a "wpa_helper_package" from http://www.bughost.org/ipw/ which is used to help compile wpa_supplicant. I will attempt this compilation soon.

Well, here's the new wpa_supplicant dotpup, version 0.5.5, but the compile-configuration specified by the "wpa_helper_package" is no different to what I used in the current wpa_supplicant-0.5.4 dotpup.

EDIT Sep 26: wpa_supplicant-0.5.5.pup download removed. Now get it here http://www.dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/wireless-utilities/

But the "wpa_helper_package" does include several examples of wpa_supplicant.conf. So I still suspect that the answer is just in getting these settings right.
I included these example configurations in /root/my-applications/wpa_helper_package/
along with other "helper" files such as openssl certificates for EAP/RADIUS authentication ... but I have not compiled the necessary openSSL library, and I don't know anything about this more complex form of "Enterprise" WPA.

The example configuration which I think might work is the one called "WPA_PSK". Even without installing my new dotpup, you could just try it with your current setup. This is its contents:

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1

network={
        ssid="LOTT_TEST1"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
        psk="thisissomereallysecretphrase"
        priority=2
}
The lines which are significantly different to the current wpa_supplicant.conf are "pairwise" and "group".
And I'm still unsure whether you should use "ipw" or "wext" in the main command.

- reinstalled the newest puppy,
- installed the latest ipw2200 firmware,
- installed the wpa_supplicant you pointed me to and
- used your example wpa_supplicant configuration as well as -D wext -w

and, there is improvement:
the network card associates with the router and starts to negotiate, but then fails.

console output bits:

Code: Select all

EDIT: this module is only compatible with Puppy versions 2.02, 2.10, and 2.11.

Puppy 2.10 does include the ipw2200.ko module, but the michael_mic.ko module is missing. The correct version of this module can be found in the "all-modules-k2.6.16.7-PUP202" package at http://www.puppyos.com/test/
I attach it now. gunzip it into /lib/modules/2.6.16.7/crypto/ then run "depmod".

Don't use the latest version3.0 IPW firmware from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php This is only for versions 1.1.1 of the ipw2200 driver, and Puppy 2.10 contains version 1.0.8.
Either use v2.4 firmware from the above link, or easier still, my ipw2200-extras package contains the correct version -

fried, that's great.
Quite a few people have contacted me about similar problems. To help me answer such questions, can you please confirm that you included "CCMP" in your wpa_supplicant.conf, and did you change anything else in this file?

Also, can you please edit your first post so that the title includes "Solved".

this is my wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1 

network={
	ssid="mylan"
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
      pairwise= TKIP
     group=TKIP
	psk="testtest"
	priority=2 
}
-i removed CCMP because both my router menu and ubuntu networkmanager showed they were using TKIP. However, it also works with

Code: Select all

    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40

and this is the line i use for starting it up:

Code: Select all

wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -w -B

i just rebooted and started wpa_supplicant with this .conf:

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
	ssid="mylan"
	psk="testtest"
}
and it works as well

Thanks.
Since your configuration looks quite "standard" I think that 90% of the solution was simply the addition of the michael_mic module.
