[Madwifi-users] Problem setup atheros wifi card using WPA TKIP

[Sam L. <sam...@ho...>]

Can anyone help me? I'm already struggling with this problem during weeks.

 

I use the Atheros based WLM54AGP23 card, and use madwifi and wpa_supplicant
to enable the card for using with WPA TKIP encryption.

I get always the message 'WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may
be incorrect', and I'm sure that my password is correct typed in the config
file.

 

 

Thank you in advance,
