Wifi totally broken in Om2008.8?

[Stefan Strahl]

Hi Daniel :)

I also had troubles first getting Wifi running with Om2008.08. What
did you do so far to the config? I assume "iwlist eth0 scan" is
working? My "D'oh"-experience was that I needed to use WPA2 in the
wpa_supplicant.conf and not WPA. Here is what I did to get it running:

1) create /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# WPA2:
network={
       ssid="THISISNOWIFI"
       scan_ssid=1
       proto=RSN
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       pairwise=CCMP TKIP
       group=TKIP CCMP
       psk="********"
       priority=50
}

# WPA:
network={
      ssid="THISISNOWIFI"
      proto=WPA
      key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
      pairwise=TKIP
      group=TKIP
      scan_ssid=1
      psk="********"
      priority=10
}

# WEP:
network={
     ssid="NETGEAR"
     scan_ssid=1
     key_mgmt=NONE
     wep_tx_keyidx=0
     wep_key0=********
     priority=8
}

# Open:
network={
     ssid="your ssid"
     key_mgmt=NONE
     priority=5
}

then edit in /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
   wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf


then I did a

iwconfig eth0 essid THISISNOWIFI

and finally

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

Do you see any "WPA" or "udhcc" messages?
