Intel pro wireless not connecting to wpa-psk wireless network

[lalit]

My laptop with wireless card Intel pro wireless 2200BG not connecting to wpa-psk wireless network. I tried with "ifconfig /dev/net/iprowifi2200/0 join SSID mypassword" and also with the "wireless_networks" file located in /boot/common/settings/network/, but the card gets the wrong IP addresses (my router is in DHCP mode). Find the attached screen shots.

It's detecting the networks.

Getting the error when trying to connect from list.

That looks like you simply didn't install the wpa_supplicant optional package. In that case access to the network is denied, hence the "operation not allowed" error message. Granted it could be made more obvious, but the need for it will go away as soon as the supplicant is included in the default image (which I might simply do in the state it is now, as it is usable).

This sounds very similar to ticket:7081

I did installed the optional package using the command "~> installoptionalpackage wpa_supplicant". I tried to connect to wep setting, it accepted the passoword but not connected. It is a dhcp setup and it is picking up the wrong ipaddress. Not asking for password while connecting through menu.

The following is my optional package list:

~> installoptionalpackage -l

Alpha3 didn't have wpa_supplicant as optional package. You need to install recent nightly to have it, or obtain wpa_supplicant package built for A3.

Replying to diver:

Alpha3 didn't have wpa_supplicant as optional package. You need to install recent nightly to have it, or obtain wpa_supplicant package built for A3.

Was about to say the same. I don't think wpa_supplicant will work on A3 either way since getting it working involved fixing some lower level bugs in the kernel and/or network stack. Closing as invalid.

[lalit]

This is still a problem in recent nightly build. It is accepting password. But assigning wrong ip addresses.

Please attach your syslog and ifconfig output.

Here is the ifconfig:

Does it work if you assign ip address manually?

[lalit]

No it doesn't work. I tried using static ip, it is not changing the ip addresses.

[diver]

You can try to restart net_server in Terminal so that you can see some additional debug output:

hey net_server quit
/system/servers/net_server

Then try to connect to your network and set static ip (using ifconfig maybe?)

[diver]

Is this still an issue?
