(almost working!) Problems with wpa_supplicant and Linksys WPC54G + WPA EAP-TTLS

[Dan Parsons]

Okay, I have made progress! It is now working to the point that my 
radius server is receiving packets from the access point I'm trying to 
connect to... the only problem is that it's not sending a password!

Mon Dec 20 15:00:45 2004 : Auth: Login incorrect: [prauser/<no 
User-Password attribute>] (from client aironet1-oc port 273 cli 
000c.412c.255d)

My wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like the below. What am I doing wrong?

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

network={
	ssid="SDPRA"
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
	auth_alg=OPEN
	pairwise=TKIP
	group=TKIP
	eap=TTLS
	identity="prauser"
	#anonymous_identity="foo"
	password="someword"
	phase2="autheap=PAP autheap=MD5"	
}
