RC4 is neat -- everything that one had to compile oneself is now easy. Except for this following problem:
I have an Apple AirPort Express and would like to use it as "remote WDS" station, with PSK-TKIP.
- My OpenWrt router is configured as AP and clients (including Apple's) can connect to it using PSK-TKIP.
- I can also configure it to WEP-128 and both clients and WDS will work.
- The combination PSK-TKIP and WDS just does not work.
I redirected the Airport's syslog output and in PSK-TKIP mode, it says:
Jan 1 00:00:06 169.254.207.143 express sys: Initialized (firmware 6.2).
Jan 1 00:00:15 169.254.207.143 express dot11: WDS established with station 00:0c:41:12:23:34.
Jan 1 00:00:16 169.254.207.143 express dot11: Deauthorizing station 00:0c:41:12:23:34 [2]
Jan 1 00:00:38 169.254.207.143 express dot11: Deauthorizing station 00:0c:41:12:23:34 [15]
Jan 1 00:01:00 169.254.207.143 express dot11: Deauthorizing station 00:0c:41:12:23:34 [15]
... etc ...
I made sure that nas4not is called with the correct arguments (by the 00-nas hotplug script), and the nvram variables seem to be correct also:
wl0_akm=psk
wl0_wpa_psk=AKeyThatIsNotSecure
wl0_crypto=tkip
wl0_wds=00:14:51:11:99:77
wl0_wep=disabled
wl0_ssid=wireless
wl0_mode=ap
wl0_wpa_gtk_rekey=3600
wl0_lazywds=0
lan_ifname=br0
lan_ifnames=vlan2 eth2 eth3 eth4
nas4not lan wds0.49153 up auto tkip psk AKeyThatIsNotSecure wireless
nas package is version 3.90.37-14
Something seems to go wrong in the authentication process (nas/nas4not). I there a way to turn on debug?
I tried PSK2-AES and all combinations also, but only WEP or no encryption work with WDS.
Thanks,
