Hi,
  I'm having problem trying to setup my wireless connection to connect to
the AP.  Using intel 3945 wireless card with iwlwifi.  iwlwifi is
pre-package with Fedora 7 64 bit.  I have no problem connecting with WEP.
But not WPA.

Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf setup.

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=2

network={
                 ssid="home"
                 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
                 proto=WPA
                 pairwise=TKIP
                 group=TKIP
                 psk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                 scan_ssid=0
}

Edit /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant and make sure these are the values set in
it

INTERFACES="-iwlan0"
Driver="-Dwext"

Go to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ and repeat the above step

Upon boot up I get "ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported" error.

WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0
WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1

I did try to get a dump of wpa_supplicant using

wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
-dd
Daemonize...


I get minimal information returned.

>From dmesg, I found this.

 dmesg |grep wpa_supplicant

Did I miss out something?  I did not install additional rpm  after
installing Fedora 7.  All I did was enable the wpa_supplicant service.
