Cannot connect to WPA, athos

S

Stepping_Stones

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a connection. I'm running FreeBSD 9.0 and have an athos wireless driver. I have tried following the handbook and other online tutorials but to no avail.

Code: 
Here is my rc.conf file:

hostname="hostname"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"

Code: 
My wpa_supplicant.conf file:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
    ssid="ssid"
    bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00
    proto=WPA
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    psk="psk

I tried paring down the wpa_supplicant.conf file to only the ssid and psk but that didn't help any. Whenever I run /etc/rc.d/netif start wlan0 it shows:

wlan0: no link.............giving up
Starting Network: wlan0

Please let me know if I've violated any rules or if further clarification is needed.
 
The next step is to try scanning for visible access points:
# ifconfig wlan0 up list scan

That may have to be run a couple of times before showing results.

If the access point has a "hidden" SSID, it won't show up, and other changes are needed to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.
 
Then wpa_supplicant(8) can't connect. Maybe wrong PSK, or the access point is not configured for WPA. Kill any running wpa_supplicant and run it by hand:
# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
 
I have in rc.conf only:

Code: 
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

In /boot/loader/conf:

Code: 
if_ath_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"

And in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: 
network={
ssid="setevoy_home_network"
psk="mypassword"
}

Thats working...

Code: 
# pciconf -vl | grep Wireless
device     = 'AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)'

May be - something useful else you'll find here? But in Russian, sorry.
 
Those modules you load in loader.conf are all part of the GENERIC kernel. WEP is only needed if you actually use WEP, likewise for TKIP--CCMP (AES) is better.

After doing this wpa_supplicant doesn't respond and then when I [cmd=]Ctrl-C[/cmd] it gives me:

Code: 
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=4 eloop_data=0x284081c0 user_data=0x28412080 header=0x806d620

Does this help explain the problem at all?
