[Madwifi-users] Failed to read or parse configuration or add interface

[John T. <jd...@be...>]

I am trying to use madwifi 0.9.3.3 with a D-Link 510G card having an =
Atheros chip on an AMD 64 box running Kubuntu 7.04. I had it running =
fine until I added a PSK. Now I get the above messages when I run =
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -dd -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpo_supplicant.ocnf, =
modified from the instructions on the madwifi website only with respect =
to the /var/local/user directory, which isn't used in the Kubuntu =
umplementation.=20

My config file is as follows:
=3Dctrl_interface-/sbin/wpa_supplicant #/var/run/wpa_supplicant
#ap_scan=3D2

Network-{
    ssid-WEST9899
    psk=3D<hex number created by wpa_passphrase from my input; =
transferred to another computer and the local gateway via USB memory =
stick>
    key_mgmt-WPA-PSK
    proto=3DWPA
#    proto=3DRSN
#    pairwise=3DCCMP TKIP
    group=3DCCMP TKIP
}

I've been fooling around with this for three days and it's driving me =
crazy. I hate to say that the Windows box woth a BCM4318 was easierw but =
it's running, even after I changed the key to what madwifi would create =
for me.
