[Madwifi-users] wpa mode

[Alvin O. <alvin@Mail.Linux-Consulting.com>]

hi ya

- we just tried to get WPA mode config'd and running, but
  it didn't pass "sanity check"

	- a known working wpa client could NOT see the
	madwifi based ap in wpa mode

- wpa_supplicant.conf
	ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
	eapol_version=1

	network={
        ssid="some-essid"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
        #
        #psk="somesecretivepassphrase"

	psk=03101c71c6abf8827293f44d7c13883ec83214fab8ab4069eec737508a7c220a
	}

- the 2 madwifi clients were previously able to talk to the madwifi ap
  in WEP or non-wep mode, but NOT after starting wpa_supplicant


- when i try to run wpa_supplicant, i get:

	wpa_supplicant  -Bw [ -d ] -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0

	Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
	Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
	ctrl_interface='/var/run/wpa_supplicant'
	eapol_version=1
	Daemonize..


	== i do not see wpa_supplicant running
	== and the 2 madwifi clients no longer works

- the question is, when/how do i start wpa_supplicant and what
  should be running
	and/or is wpa mode only for clients ??
	( i do not have a commercial, "real/working" wpa ap yet )

thanx
