problem connecting to Linksys WCG200v2-CC with wpa_supplicant and ndiswrapper
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2006 4:56 pm
I run Gentoo Linux, and I am trying to connect by wireless to a linksys wcg200v2-cc router/modem (supplied by comcast).
I use wpa_supplicant and ndiswrapper. I can connect fine to the router via ethernet cable and I can use my wpa_supplicant/ndiswrapper wireless to connect to other AP:s (at my university, both WPA and open)
I use wep encryption on the router. Other people (in the apartment, using windows) can connect via wireless.
According to wpa_cli, wpa_supplicant authenticates and connects. What then happens is that dhcpcd waits for dhcp response, but times out. It only takes the router a couple of seconds to assign an IP adress via ethernet cable.
wpa_cli output:
<2>Trying to associate with SSID 'our network'
<2>Associated with /cut/
<2>CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to /cut/ completed (auth) [id=1 id_str=]
status verbose
bssid=/cut/
ssid=our network
id=1
pairwise_cipher=WEP-104
group_cipher=WEP-104
key_mgmt=NONE
wpa_state=COMPLETED
excerpts of wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
# WEP
network={
ssid="our network"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key1=/cut/
wep_tx_keyidx=0
priority=2
}
How should I proceed / what is wrong? Thankful for any help - (Comcast "does not support linux")
