Where is the wpa supplicant?

#1 Post by davidknibb »

Puppy 2.02
Hard Disk Install
HP XE2 machine

Another question that will no doubt make me blush with shame when I see the answer.
I'm trying to get WPA to work with my network card.

Now it works fine if I turn off encryption from the router, and also with WEP encryption.

But it seems that to get it singing with WPA I need wpa_supplicant.

And her's the bit to make me blush. I cannot find anyplace from where to download it.

I've looked at all the Install options given - but I guess I'm just blind to the obvious.

So please - where on earth is it ??

Thanks

David

Nothing to be embarrassed about. It ain't exactly self-evident.

OK since the original problem is fixed, ill hijack the thread:

I have puppy 2.01 installed, and have loaded the firmware for the ipw2200, which shows up as eth1.

WPA-TKIP works fine with my winxp client, so I know the router is working fine.

I cannot seem to get the wpa-tkip working in puppy though. I have installed the wpa_supplciant but cannot seem to get it working. Here is my debugged output:

(i have also tried (with no success) bypassing the encryption in the config file with wpa_passphrase)

wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D ipw -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

Usually folks try to get it running with encryption turned off first, just to make sure that part of it works. Have you tried that?

Show us what you have in wpa_supplicant.conf (obscure the key if you want).
