| I have a WDA 2320 D-Link wireless card and can't get it to connect. I've tried ceni, wlassistant wifi radar and kismet to try to connect to my network. I've got wpasupplicant installed and am using wpa for encryption. I've googled, manualed and trial and error. Is there something else I need to configure? I don't remember ever having this much trouble with wireless in the past. I don't really use it at home, but I'm trying to become more familiar with setting it up. |

| Seem to be missing wpasupplicant.conf. Is this supposed to be made at first connect? I seem to be able to connect with wicd (not debian approved , and removes networkmanager and wifi radar is installed) but there is no activity and cannot access internet. Unfortunately my issue seems to be too isolated for Google (as far as card, setup, problem, and distro). I was hoping someone with a little more exp. in wireless and sidux could help here? I am using the madwifi drivers for this card. I can scan and connect, but no internet and no wpasupplicant.conf. |

I found wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/dbus-1/system.d. Is that where it is supposed to be?
# wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -B -c/etc/debus-1/wpa_supplicant -iath0
Unsupported driver 'madwifi'.
This is what I got from the man pages that I needed to enter for code. So does this mean I can't use wpa with with atheros in linux? Is there another driver I can use for this card?
This is what I get if I take the code out for the driver:
Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/debus-1/wpa_supplicant
???
I then tried to make my ownbut get the same thing:
here is the new wpa_supplicant.conf file I made and put in /etc/wpa_supplicant.
# allow frontend (e.g., wpa_cli) to be used by all users in 'wheel' group
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=adm
# home network; allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="netgear"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="xxx"
}
copied example from some post and edited. |
