HostAP & Intel Proset

[Lawrence Wong]

Hi all,

I am having some trouble getting open MD5
authentication to work and is wondering if anyone can
help.

On my server, I am using hostapd-0.3.1 with
hostap-driver-0.3.0. On the client laptop I am using
Intel ProSet 7.1.3.0 to control the Intel Centrino
2100 wireless.

The following is the configuration file that I used on
the server:

# cat test.conf 

interface=wlan0
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=0
debug=0
daemonize=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0

ssid=TEST
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=3

ieee8021x=1
eap_authenticator=1
eap_user_file=/usr/local/hostapd/hostapd.eap_user


# cat hostapd.eap_user 

"user"          MD5     "password"
"test user"     MD5     "secret"
"example user"  TLS


When HostAP is run, and I try to login from the
laptop, it says:

# hostapd test.conf 

Configuration file: test.conf

Does anyone know what does "IEEE 802.1X: unauthorizing
port" mean and how to make it authorised? Is there
something missing/wrong from my config file?

TIA!
