Hi

I have got WEP working fine but I tried to switch to WPA and failed msierably sad  I used ipkg to install NAS and configured WPA through the web gui. I then rebooted the box but it won't work. The XP PC thats the client just sits at the trying to aquire address part of connecting for ages then gives up. There is an S41wpa in /etc/init.d so I guess that loads nas, is there anything else I need to do ? I tried looking at the NVRAM variables and manually set

wl0_akm="psk psk2"

but that didnt seem to help. I am using AES for encryption, any pointers gratefully accepted.

PS its a WRTG54 v2.0

Thanks

Are you sure that your Wifi card supports WPA with AES properly? Or maybe you need to upgrade your drivers...

its a Linksys Wireless-G adaptor. XP thinks it should support WPA and AES. The driver date is 2004 though so maybe there is a newer one, I'll check.

The discussion might have continued from here.
