Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.2+git20080206.g8c0dad4-1
Followup-For: Bug #386090
http://wiki.webvm.net/hardware/x61/#index15h2
I have a (hidden) wireless network configured like so:
network={
scan_ssid=0
ssid="w"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
Which wpa_cli is unable to connect to. :/ I work around the problem by
issuing:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "w"
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key off
Before running `sudo ifup wlan0`. Then it's able to get an IP via
dhclient no problem.
If I don't issue the iwconfig commands wpasupplicant can't seem to get
an IP. I have to then typically bring the interface down, issue those
iwconfig commands, and ifup again.
Otherwise wpasupplicant has no problem connecting to WPA secured APs,
but it would be nice if it could manage to join unencrypted ones too.
;)
