atheroswifi & WPA2

[erm67]

My only internet connection right now is through a WPA2 wireless link and I cannot reconfigure it to use WEP so I must connect using WPA2. I tried hard to make haiku connect but no way at the moment; I tried the alpha first, than a nightly and now I am running a self compiled master (hrev43804) (all gcc2 hybrids) but still no connection. The first time I recompiled it I had added 'AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages wpa_supplicant ;' to UserBuildConfig but even if wpa_supplicant was installed in the system it did't worked, instead installing it using installoptionalpackages once the system was installed it did work, don't know why ... Anyway, I have two wifi card available an intel ipw2200 and an atheros AR922X, both are recognized (after installing the firmware for the ipw2200) but I cannot connect. I'd prefer to use the atheros since it works better, it is correctly recognized by haiku: in the log:

There is one message about ieee80211_sysctl_attach not being implemented but I don't know if it is related to the problem, anyway using the ipw2200 drives gives the same results.

When I try to activate the network the popup asking the password appears, I guess it is from wpa_supplicant since it didn't worked when wpa_supplicant was not correctly installed, but after a few second in 'configuring' the network doesn't work. The log shows that DHCP is trying to configure the network but it gets no answer:

Could you try with ​http://haiku-files.org/files/optional-packages/wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-x86-gcc2-2012-04-03.zip ?

Probably fixed in hrev43948.
