Can't connect to WPA network (10.4, PB) but MacBook (10.5) can

I posted this question in another forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1568629&tstart=0
But maybe other PowerBook (Airport Extreme) users lurking in this forum have had problems connecting to WPA protected networks? The router is D-Link DI-524.

I've had difficulty attaching to WPA networks with AES encryption where WPA with TKIP encryption worked just fine. The type of encryption is defined on the router.

  • Can't scan or connect to WPA network since kernel upgrade

    Hi guys,
    I upgraded to kernel 2.6.29 earlier today and have been having trouble with scanning and connecting to WPA encrypted networks since. I'm stuck with a wired connection for the minute, but I can't have the wire going through the house for so long otherwise somebody will trip over it - probably me.
    I usually use netcfg to connect to the network, but since the update that has failed.
    My network called is a Belkin USB Wireless G, model number F5D705ed version 5000ed. It worked perfectly fine on 2.6.28 using the rtl8187 native drivers.
    dmesg output for 2.6.29
    usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187
    rtl8187: 8187B chip detected.

    phy0: hwaddr 00:1c:df:47:44:c0, RTL8187BvE V0 + rtl8225z2
    I can start the card up using
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
    When I attempt to scan for a wireless network, I get
    sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
    wlan0 No scan results
    The network is WPA, and would scan fine on 2.6.28.
    wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this
    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel

    fast_reauth=1
    network={
    ssid="Arazmataz"
    psk="*****************"
    priority=5
    I should note though, that since the update - /var/run/wpa_supplicant seems to have disappeared.
    network.d/profile looks like
    CONNECTION="wireless"

    *raises hand*
    I've made some progress though - but still can't connect. I can now scan for a network though.
    /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom
    WIRELESS_REGDOM="GB"
    /var/run/wpa_supplicant still didn't exist, so I created a /var/run/wpa_supplicant folder - and saw a few success messages in the log. This allowed me to bring the card up again and scan for a network.
    At this point, I was getting excited until netcfg2 still kept telling me that it couldn't associate with the network.
    I installed wicd and gave that a go and got the following. I did a 'tail -f /var/log/wicd/wicd.log' and got this;

  • [SOLVED] Cannot get wpa_supplicant to connect to WPA network

    Hello everybody,
    first of, thanks for the great wiki & forum. I am very new to linux (I've startet with Ubuntu last week) so configuring is something very new to me. Now, on topic:
    I am using a Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter (F5D7050 / v.4003). The Ubuntu Wiki says that the zd1211rw driver is the correct one. But: if I don't have any encryption set
    on my wireless network , I can simply connect using
    # iwconfig
    # ifconfig wlan0 up
    # iwconfig wlan0 essid <myssid>
    # dhcpcd wlan0
    so it is working, I can browse the web, etc.
    But if I re-enable WPA/WPA2 (a mixed network), I cannot connect, neither using the method described above, nor using this:
    # ifconfig wlan0 up
    # iwconfig wlan0 essid <myssid>
    # wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    If I use the wpa_supplicant method, it gives me the following error:
    Trying to associate with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (SSID='<myssid>' freq=2442 MHz)
    CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
    ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: No such file or directory
    Associated with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    Authentication with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx timed out.
    CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
    ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: No such file or directory
    And it goes on and on like that, just reprinting these lines forever until I stop the session. I have also tried ndiswrapper, madwifi, prism54 (and zd1211rw, but it says it doesn't exist), without success.
    Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf:
    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    ctrl_interface_group=users
    network={
    ssid="<myssid>"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP
    proto=WPA
    #psk="verysecretphrase"
    psk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    And here's (some of) my rc.conf:
    INTERFACES=(!eth0 wlan0)
    wlan0="dhcp"
    interface=(wlan0)
    gateway="default gw 192.168.01"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    Now, i don't know whether this is a driver problem (driver I'm using not working with WPA), a config problem (but why can I connect to unencrypted networks, then?) a router problem (I dont think so, because Windows can connect to the encrypted network without problems.), or anything else...
    I have also tried netcfg, but according to the wiki it doesn't work without a properly configured wpa_supplicant anyway, so the fact that it isn't working is not surprising.
    I have read in a lot of places about this, and many people seem to have wireless problems but none of the sollutions worked. I seem to be missing something crucial, like configurating a file. Could anyone give me a pointer? If you need additional files / outputs, let me know!

    First off, welcome to the Arch forums.
    I had problems initially with wpa_supplicant, as well, but that was awhile ago so I'll try to see if I can give you a little assistance.  This is my /etc/wpa_suppicant.conf.
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    eapol_version=1
    ap_scan=1
    fast_reauth=1
    network={
    ssid="ssid_name"
    psk=a_bunch_of_numbers_and_letters_with_no_quotation_marks
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP
    proto=WPA
    So as you can see, I don't have the ctrl_interface=DIR=...etc, so I don't know if that is your problem.  Also, did you create a /var/run/wpa_supplicant directory (this messed me up at first, even though it was mentioned in the wiki)?
    I do use netcfg, as well as wifi-radar to let me see what networks are available when I travel.  This is my /etc/network.d/wireless profile--if you want to try that.
    CONNECTION="wireless"
    INTERFACE=wlan0
    SCAN="yes"
    SECURITY="wpa-config"
    ESSID="ssid_name"
    KEY=""
    IP="static"
    IFOPTS="192.168.0.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
    TIMEOUT=30
    My ip is static but I believe you just have to replace "static" with "dhcp" if you choose that.
    Don't know if any of that will help but if you can connect without encryption, wpa is likely your culprit.

  • Laptop connects to wireless network via a WRT54G but it can't access internet

    I’ve got a WRT54G cabled to my desktop, I set up a WEP-secured wireless network for my laptop, and the laptop connects to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, but it can’t get Internet access. I know the problem is not with the router because the laptop CAN get internet access when it's cabled to the router.  (So the problem isn’t an IP address problem—which I knew because I had to reconfigure the static IP of the laptop to get it to connect to the network in the first place.)  I turned off the Windows firewall, Symantec virus protection, and Internet Explorer’s pop-up blocker on the laptop. The laptop connects perfectly to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, so why can’t it access the internet??
    Linksys tech support couldn’t figure it out, so I really need your help.  Thank you!

    (because I wanted it to have the same static IP address as the router).
    Just wanted to clarify what you meant in this post. If you entered the router's IP address as the static IP for the laptop, you would get the symptoms that you are describing. Try entering a IP that isn't normally used like 192.168.1.142. (That is assuming that your router IP is the default 192.168.1.1.)
    If that isn't the issue, please tell me what ipconfig is returning on both the laptop and the desktop.

  • Airport Extreme unable to connect to WPA network

    I have an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.9 and a Netgear WGT624v3 wireless router. The iBook connects well with the Netgear router using WEP encryption but using WPA Personal security I get a message that says "the wireless network does not support the requested encryption method."
    The netgear technical support people advised me that it is a configuration issue and to contact Apple to make it work properly but the only information I found there was to update the airport card firmware.
    I updated the firmware for the AirPort Extreme card to 3.90.34.0p.16 from the Apple website but that didn't solve the problem.
    In addition I have a HP Photosmart wireless all-in-one where I experience the same problem.
    If there are any suggestions, I would be forever grateful.

    Don,
    Thank you for your reply. The article on WEP encryption is very interesting and I will use it when I use WEP.
    The article on WPA indicates that an airport extreme card with software version 3.2 or higher should work. I think I have version 4.2 which came from the AirPortSW42.dmg which I obtained from the Apple website. So I am confused because it still doesn't allow me to connect using WPA.

  • MacBook Air periodically 'forgets' its connection to WPA network

    I'm hoping I can gain some insight into a persistent and annoying glitch I'm having with wireless on my brand new MB Air.
    At home, we use a new AE base station for internet access and it works flawlessly (so far). At work, we have a linksys router using WPA encryption. I connect via DHCP. I am able to connect, using the right password, and everything initially works as well as it does on my iMac, which also connects wirelessly.
    However, after a couple of minutes all of my internet services abruptly go away. Shared volumes are lost and I am unable to open any web pages. However, my airport indicates that I am still connected to the router. Turning airport off and back on temporarily relieves the problem, which always resurfaces in a minute or two.
    I'm guessing there's some sort of power-saving feature at work here. But I've poked through every system setting I can find and have not found the answer.
    With advance thanks for your help,
    EB

    Many thanks for the reply but it showed an ethernet connection before I ever migrated anything...ie new out of the box. The AppleCare guys weren't so surprised...apparently have seen it on other boxes too. They talked me through adding airport to the device list and we got that working. They had a plausible explanation on why it did that but I was so happy to see an airport connection that (as I am sure you would expect) I didn't pay enough attention to repeat it accurately here. What they could not resolve was the repeated dropping of the connection (all this before I migrated.) I reinstalled OS X unsuccessfully 3 times, with apple care's help, before giving up and putting disk 2 in without a prompt which apparently completed the install. Apple Care seemed happy with that.
    I migrated by myself following all prompts and I am sure you may be correct and I screwed that up somehow but it does not explain the hardware issues I had out of the box, brand new, unaltered by me and not of my making. Which is why I queried the hardware.
    many thanks again for your suggestions
    The migration was after all this and I did it on my own, following all instructions and prompts

  • Unable to connect to WPA network using BCM4311 card

    I have BCM4311 wifi card. I am trying to connect to a WPA-PSK network using wpa_supplicant. Initially, I tried with b43 driver. I had installed b43-firmware from AUR. It did not work. I then tried, broadcom-wl driver. It did not work either.

    I found that with both drivers as long as dhcpcd is not started on the interface wpa_supplicant stays connected. As soon as dhcpcd is started, wpa_supplicant shows disconnection and it keeps on trying to connect.

  • Cannot connect to WPA network with non-ascii password

    In my office somebody thought it would be a good idea to encrypt the wireless network with a WPA password containing a non-ascii character. It is fine by the WPA2 standards, but the airport password prompt doesn't allow me to introduce suche characters.
    I have also tried to put the password directly in Keychain but it didn't work either. Besides, I tried the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resourc es/airport utility and it also didn't work.
    Any ideas, experiences, comments??
    Thanks a lot

    Anyway, it seems strange to me this limitation the Apple airport utility and that there is no command line way to overcome this "UI problem".
    It appears that OSX is enforcing WPA Personal's "no non-ASCII" rule, whereas Windows isn't.
    There may be a command-line fix, but I don't know what it might be.

  • Help...I'm connected to my network and the internet but cant get on!

    Ok, so im connected to the internet and my network but when i open safari i can't get on the web. It says to run network diagnostics and when i do it tells me all is working fine!!!
    I've now added Firefox which will allow me on the net. But when users log on it wont automatically pick up the proxy settings. Its killing me because its such an annoying problem.
    It all started when we added a new ISA server for the PC and Xserve networks but we have since proved that that isn't causing the problems.
    ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS!?!?! I NEED HELP
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Mac Xserve and Xraid network going through an ISA Server

    Hey
    Just had a go and now help! We had an ISA expert in and a PC expert plus me and another MAC expert.....still no help!
    We formatted a comp and now safari works!
    Its killin me cos i don't wanna format all my comps
    arghhhh!

  • My HP 6500A Plus is connected to wireless network and web services but won't print email or code

    I have my HP 6500A Plus connected to my wireless network and it is registered on the HP Web Services but it will not print the printer email address or code.  I have followed the directions.  I would appreciate your help in this matter.  Dave

    Hey ddwilson9999,
    If your printer is telling you that it cannot connect to the server, try these steps.
    1. Find your printer's IP address by printing a network configuration page.
    2. Type you IP address into the address bar of your web browser.
    3. Click on the network tab at the top of the page.
    4. Look at the left hand side and click IPv4 under wireless.
    5. Change the IP settings to Manual.
    6. Enter the printer's IP address, your subnet mask, and your routers IP address or default gateway in the spaces.
    7. Set the Preferred DNS to 8.8.8.8.
    8. Set the Alternate DNS to 8.8.4.4.
    9. Click apply.(You may need to refresh the page if it says processing for longer than a min and click apply again.)
    10. Now try to print the information page.
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
    If I have resolved your issue, feel free to provide Kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.

  • MacBook Pro Can't connect to WPA protected network

    Just got my new MBP this week. I am in love with it but I have this problem, I can't connect to WPA network, every time I try to connect and type the WPA password it take time and then comes back with "There was an error joining the AirPort network "Intersys"
    I removed the WPA from the router and try to connect and it work fine. Change to WPA and no connections.
    any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    I was actually logging into the forums for this exact reason.
    I bought a new router ( Linksys http://tinyurl.com/fkrt9 )last night and wanted to set up WPA/WPA2 encryption on it.
    My choices after that we AES and TKIP. I know more about AES so I selected that and set up my key.
    Well after that I got the same error that you got. SO I went back and selected TKIP instead and I've been able to conenct, I'm also using 64 character key.
    I would still like to use AES, but for now I'm happy with TKIP.

  • I have a Time Capsule as my router.  I can connect wirelessly to the network and internet with my MBPr, but my Mac Mini will only connect to the network wired or wirelessly. Airport on it sees the internet as green, but will not connect.

    I have the Time Capsule hooked to a wireless modem.  It uses a static IP, which is put in and running.  The MBPr connects, as well as my iPhone 5, to the internet and network without problem.  I can see the Mac Mini, external drive attached to it, and the Time Capsule.  The Mac Mini connects to the network wired or wirelessly, but not to the internet.  On wireless, using AirPort the Internet shows green, but no connection when I open Safari.  The settings under network settings are identical except for LAN IP between the Mac Mini and the MBPr.  I was hoping someone might have an idea of what was going on.  Before I moved the Time Capsule was on Bridge mode from another router, now it is on DHCP and NAT for the internal network.

    No, its is connected direct to the providers fiber box.

  • Why can't my Apple TV do anything even though its connected to my network?

    I use a brand new time capsule and all of my other devices are working fine for streaming and such.  The issue seamed to start with constant "buffering" pauses and now sometimes when I turn it on to try and figure out the issue, it only shows settings and computers.  But other times it shows all the apps, and says that it is connected to my network with full strength, but then it can't connect to iTunes or anything.  I can't even "reset" it.  Thanks for any advice!  I have had it now for a little over a year, and it has never acted this way.  Most issues have been remedied by unplugging and letting it set for a bit before re-plugging it back in.

    Hi from Perth. I am getting exactly the same problem. I've been using Apple TV for six months, updated software a couple of times, no problem, but suddenly today, it can't see the Internet any more. I've rebooted everything. Reset settings, pulled out plugs, no dice. I've made no changes whatsoever to any part of the setup.

    Are you refering to a home network or some form of public
    if home network ensure your router has latest firmware and try rebooting it
