WEP encryption works fine, and my router supports WPA/WPA2. I set up everything according to the man pages of wpa_supplicant, and made sure that the security key on the router matches the one specified in /etc/network/interfaces and
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, and have tried both ascii and hexadecimal keys.<br>I run this command: wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth2 -Dwext -d<br>and get this output:<br><br>Initializing interface 'eth2' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'wext' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A'<br>Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'<br>Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'<br>ctrl_interface='/var/run/wpa_supplicant'<br>Priority group 0<br> id=0 ssid='MyNetwork'<br>Initializing interface (2) 'eth2'<br>EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state DISCONNECTED<br>EAPOL: KEY_RX entering state NO_KEY_RECEIVE<br>EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state INITIALIZE<br>EAP: EAP entering state DISABLED<br>EAPOL: External notification - portEnabled=0<br>EAPOL: External notification - portValid=0<br>SIOCGIWRANGE: WE(compiled)=20 WE(source)=16 enc_capa=0xf<br> capabilities: key_mgmt 0xf enc 0xf<br>WEXT: Operstate:
