WPA not working (rt2500usb)

nicofo · **Joined:** Sat Mar 03, 2007 6:31 pm **Posts:** 16

Hello,

I can't use WPA with rt200usb.
The error message from wpa_supplicant is:

Code:

# /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -B
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - 

Can you help me ?
Thank you in advance.

Additionnal infos:

Code:

# uname -r
2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686            (Fedora 9)
# modinfo rt2500usb -F version
2.1.5

File /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
   ssid="XXXXXXXXX"
   scan_ssid=1
   proto=WPA2
   psk="XXXXXXXXX"
}

Remark: that file must be correct since I can use ndiswrapper instead without any problem.

Could you try with latest rt2x00.git to see if that helps?

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply !

I have already a very new version of the rt2500usb module since it comes with the Fedora kernel which has been updated (including that kernel module) two days ago.

Yes, but rt2x00.git is at version 2.1.7 and you were running 2.1.5

And in addition, some USB related patches were send last week upstream and those haven't been merged/queued for 2.6.27 yet which automatically means they aren't in a FC kernel either.

Just saying it here, since it might be related (both being rt2500), that rt2500pci is finally working, as in not bringing the kernel down :-)

, however it will not let me connect to my wpa(2?) home network. Files will be in a new thread...

Best regards,

F

Hello,

it still doesn't work with 2.1.7 ! Same error:

ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 -

Those WPA supplicant messages are _not_ errors and can be ignored.

Do you have hardware encryption enabled? If so, you should try disabling that.

OK. But it doesn't work while it does with the same config files and nduiswrapper

How ?

How did you compile rt2x00.git?

nicofo · **Joined:** Sat Mar 03, 2007 6:31 pm **Posts:** 16

I didn't compile it. I have just waited the new Fedora kernel which included the 2.1.7 version of the driver

Can't you help me ?
Is there something wrong in my config files ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

No it is not a config problem.
I have multiple reports about rt2500usb being completely broken at this time,
I am looking into the issue.

Could you check the tool:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/peop ... regdump.sh

and create a register dump with the working and non-working kernel?
