[Open1x-xsupplicant] Newbie to xsupplicant

[Eddie C. <cao...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I am a XSupplicant user. My university provides
802.11b in campus and requires LEAP authentication. I
don't why on my linux box, the signal is very very
weak.

moria-debian:/home/eddie# iwlist ath0 ap
ath0      Peers/Access-Points in range:
    00:0E:83:11:6B:B0 : Quality=0/94  Signal level=-95
dBm  Noise level=-95 dBm
    00:0F:34:C9:03:A0 : Quality=0/94  Signal level=-95
dBm  Noise level=-95 dBm
    00:0E:38:C8:E6:40 : Quality=0/94  Signal level=-95

    00:0E:38:C8:E9:10 : Quality=0/94  Signal level=-95

I am not an expert of 802.1x. So I have many
questions:
1) If my set enough parameters using iwconfig, then
the  association is automatically done without an
extra command?
2) When the association is done, I have to manually
start dhclient to make it usable?
3) If LEAP is required, what is the right sequence of
association, dhclient, and xsupplicant? I guess that
without IP address, the authentication cannot be done.
Right?
4) In my case, how is the signal that weak? The
network is completely unusable. I use this command,
and nothing happens:

moria-debian:/home/eddie# xsupplicant -i ath0 -d 6
Using default config!

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Eddie
