Hi The 2.6.29 image only has iwconfig which only works for WEP enabled connections. To access WPA enabled connections I need wpa_supplicant but it doesnt seem to be available in the linux image that comes on the CD with the mini2440. Is it available seperately for download somewhere? Thanks Pankaj
Hi all, I was trying to cross compile wpa_supplicant-0.6.10 for mini2440. I added my libssl-devel-0.9.8g "/usr/include/openssl" folder to "/usr/local/angstrom/arm/lib/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.3.3/include-f ixed" then cross compiled openssl-0.9.8g with ./config -shared and copied libssl.so,libcrypto.so,libssl.a,libcrypto.a files to "/usr/local/angstrom/arm/lib". So far so good. I was sure i made necessary additions to toolchain. But when i try to cross compile wpa_supplicant i got the errors telling "... skipping incompatible /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/../lib/libssl.so when searching for -lssl" and the same for -lcrypto. make says they are incompatible. They are both version 0.9.8g. I can not understand what is wrong with this. Any ideas? Thanks.
I guess there is something wrong with openssl cross-compilation :( I need to have some rest and try again may be :)
I wanted to share if you would need. Here is wpa_supplicant binaries for mini2440 with necessay libs. http://www.dengebt.com/wpa_supplicant0.6.10_mini2440_dengebt.tar.gz Hope you enjoy!
Here you can see it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX7SGDP0qYY contact us at info[at]dengebt.com if you need any technical assistance,consultancy or training.
After starting the wpa supplicatn i got this error:
[root@ARM /]# ifconfig wlan0

Can somebody help me?
Okay got it:
1. you need to compile the Kernel with CONFIG_PACKET=y
2. this is my W-LAN-start.sh
ifconfig eth0 down
iwconfig wlan0 essid "Speedport W 501 V" channel 4
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.50.104 up
route add default gw 192.168.50.254
wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa-psk-tkip.conf
[root@ARM /etc]# cat wpa-psk-tkip.conf

proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
#psk="WPA2-PASK"
psk=WPA2-PSK
}
Thats all ... thank you internet and thank you google :-)
Hi Andreas, Have you managed to put it to rcS to make it automatic WiFi activation during booting? What is the syntax that you used in rcS? Thanks, rotceh
Yes i have added a line in my rcS --------------------------------------- echo "Starting w-kan" > /dev/tty1 ./start-wlan.sh --------------------------------------- and here start-wlan.dh --------------------------------------------------------------- ifconfig eth0 down iwconfig wlan0 essid "Speedport W 501 V" channel 4 ifconfig wlan0 192.168.50.104 up route add default gw 192.168.50.254 wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa-psk-tkip.conf ---------------------------------------------------------------- My scipt is stoping the eth0 device and starts up the w-lan
i tried downloading http://www.dengebt.com/wpa_supplicant0.6.10_mini2440_dengebt.tar.gz and putting files in folder /lib/ and /usr/sbin/ and /etc/ but upon running wpa_supplicant i get a Segmentation fault....please help have been trying 3 different kinds of wifi usb now...now finally using tl-wn321g thanks
Did you compile your own kernel? You need to compile the Kernel with CONFIG_PACKET=y And of course you will need the correct kernel modul for you W-LAN usb stick... Yours Andreas
Hi Andreas, I tried to find the CONFIG_PACKET=y, but couldn't locate it in the kernel. Where can I locate it? I mean, exact folder or file in the kernel? Thanks, rotceh
I am using this (its similar to Logilink 54mbps) http://www.pollin.de/shop/dt/MzcxOTgyOTk-/Computer_und_Zubehoer/Netzwerk...
forgett the last link .... this is a another modell of the stick wich i have not tested...
i just stumbled on this thread because i tried connected with totally no
wep or wpa. added ap and then my routers name for essid.
now

what I have to do now?? *----*
hi,
how do i do for configuring wpa with AES ?
i need to replace tkip by AES in config file ?
network={
ssid="Speedport W 501 V"
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP >== AES ?
group=CCMP TKIP <== AES ?
#psk="WPA2-PASK"
psk=WPA2-PSK
}
Thanks in adavance.
CCMP = WPA2 (CCMP is based on AES) TKIP = WPA1 (RC4 encryption algorythmus) Yours Andreas
ok thanks , i have recompiled my kernel with PF_PACKET=y but i have an error ioctl i must check PF_PACKET in kernel config on menuconfig? many options inside this options. what options i must checked ? thanks in advance.
what version of linux you have ? i have 2.6.32.2 please, can you put to download link for your .config ? i recompile my kernel with your .config. i have ralink alpha usb stick wifi. it work in wep but not with wpa. thanks.
Hmmm i must first have a look into my .config files ... I will report back... (maybe to night)
Hi, S.Onur Selamet released wpa_supplicant binaries, anybody have the fonts? Or where can i find it?
Hi, i would like to know the status of my connection using WPA, i noticed that when i execute the command: wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf I can see the response of command, typing the command and while it doesn't response anything like: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:b0:c6:01:28:7d completed (auth) so my mini is unable to get an IP from DHCP. Sometimes when i try to connect using the command above the response contain: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys I try again until have the response OK and I start my DHCP client and everthing works. My problem its to save this response on a file or any place to read it after. For example, on my C++ app. Anybody has a idea how a resolve my problem? Looking for a parameters of wpa_supplicant command anyone concerns to save the response on a log file, just executing on backgrounding and increase the debug of command. Thanks
@S.Onur Selamet: I used your compiled version and working perfectly fine with EAP-PEAP-MSCHAPv2 on AT91SAM9260 MCU which is also based on ARMv5l. Now please can you give me source tar-ball for all the libraries and wpa_supplicant you compiled ? I just want to avoid getting into troubles of compiling this from scratch. Thanks, Fawad Lateef
As requested necessary lib source tar balls can be found below (official releases which are used in my release without any modification) http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-0.6.10.tar.gz Cross-Compilation (with angstrom toolchain) information might come handy: wpa supplicant: first install libssl-devel to your host linux (where cross-compilation takes place) then add /usr/include/openssl folder to /usr/local/angstrom/arm/lib/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.3.3/include-fixed make will need lcrypto and lssl libraries in /usr/local/angstrom/arm/lib crosscompile openssl with ./Configure linux-generic32 -shared -DL_ENDIAN and modify Makefile for your toolchain example: CC= arm-linux-gcc then make to get necessary lib files. boot script with wpa supplicant: /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 /etc/init.d/ifconfig-eth0 route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.4 dev eth0 ifconfig wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.222 sleep 5 route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 kernel must have socket packet option enabled!
By the way nobody has mentioned the correct way to have your wpa config file GENERATED. Here it is. wpa_passphrase WIFI_NAME WIFI_PASSWORD >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf replace WIFI_NAME and WIFI_PASSWORD with yours and then use the generated configuration to activate the connection. wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf Another option that has not been mentioned here to scan for wireless networks : You can use iwlist wlan0 scan command to list all accessible wifi networks in range.
Hi S.Onur Selamet, Thanks for your help for cross-compilation :) Regards, Fawad Lateef
I have a question. How come when I'm connected to Wifi I can't use eth0 anymore? I need to have both at the same time
What does it say in /etc/network/interfaces I have mine setup so that if I ever want to go back to eth0 I just modify this file. I have never tried enabling both. Maybe, you can change iptables or the route tables to enable both ... never tried. Good luck!
i have another question,i need some help ;
my driver realtek8192cu,it's a usb wifi device;
i can't connect WPA wifi using this scrip ,and always print
"timeout..."when i run
./sta_connect.sh wlan0 "test0000" WPAPSK "00000000"
but i can connect the wifi without password,print "connect ok!" when i run
./sta_connect.sh wlan0 "test0000" NONE
please give me some advices;
this is my sta_connect.sh scrip:

You just might be in luck here as I am using a ASUS USB N10 dongle and it
was quite a struggle getting this unit working.
I had to re-compile the kernel (3.7) after ticking the boxes:
Device drivers -->
Staging -->
RealTek RT8712U (RTL8192SU) Wireless LAN NIC driver
There were a number of other issues.
All your scripts are not familiar, where do they reside?
Good luck.
The next tricky thing was finding a rtl8712u.bin file that worked, goes in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi The one that worked for me was found on the RaspberryPi forum.
http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/12 At the end
about use the realtek8192cu usb wireless card connect the WPA net always response timeout; angboby can hlep me ! help me !
