Ok guys, just put Kamikaze (7.07) on my router - a WL-500G Deluxe. It's cool and stuff - I like to fiddle around .
However, whereas White Russian worked just fine, Kamikaze does not seem to handle my wifi settings. I am using WPA AES (kind of a hybrid solution), which works fine on the stable branch (same for Oleg's firmware & the official Asus one).
This is the scan of my AP:
[root@hephaistos stijn]# iwlist intel scan
intel Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ESSID:"BorrominiNet"

This is my /etc/config/wireless:
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# cat wireless
config wifi-device wl0
option type broadcom
option channel 10
option maxassoc '3'
option distance '10'
option disabled '0'
option channel 1-13
# REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network lan
option mode ap
option ssid 'BorrominiNet'
option encryption 'psk'
option hidden '0'
option key "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
option key1 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
As you can see it just specifies 'psk' - according to documentation WPA 1 - but I have found no clue as to how i get WPA 1 working with AES. First key line is ASCII, second line is the hex version.
This is the behaviour of wpa_supplicant with this config:
[root@hephaistos stijn]# wpa_supplicant -D wext -i intel -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
It just hangs there... Have to do Ctrl+C to kill it.
When I switch from CCMP to TKIP in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, it authenticates just fine. However, I'd like to keep using the AES... Is this possible?
Thanks in advance .
Edit: I managed to find some more info on this one online.
Here is an IRC log, in which you can read the following:
[01:19] <nbd> btw. i'll drop support for non-standard configurations like wpa1 with aes or mixed wpa1+wpa2
[01:19] <nbd> stuff like that is asking for trouble, anyway
If this is true for Kamikaze, this is truly disappointing. I thought the nice stuff about projects like this is empower users to do what they want, and not what corporations want us to do? I mean... I can perfectly decide whether I want to 'brick' my router or not, it's my stuff after all. I've been running this setup for years now - and not a single problem.
Any light that can be shed on this is welcomed.
