Hi Folks,

I'd like to install my USB-WLAN-Stick Netgear WG111v3. Ndiswrapper works correct after installing Kernel-Modules from atrpm

ndiswrapper-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5.centos.plus-1.52-16.el5.i686.rpm.

But by calling wpa_supplicant with

wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d

machine freezes.

My wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 network={ ssid="MyNet" scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP #psk="MyPSK" psk=9050ec6fe020b1738fce16c93c33b3809b9e62d5e6bf955518076eb2d7263 }

Nothing about that file stands out as wrong to me.

I have not used the ndiswrapper from atrpms, so I can't comment on that.

Have you tried NetworkManager?

We will have a newer version of Network Manager and wpa_supplicant in the soon to be released CentOS-5.2 (as well as more hardware supported in the 5.2 kernel), so maybe that will help.

With this configuration it works correct with Sidux (a debian clone).

But with CentOS 5.1 ....???

No hints in /var/log/messages or dmesg available.

Has somebody an advice/ a solution for me? More information needed?
