Not working wpa/wpa2 for ad hoc mode

[durgaprasad21]

Hi all,
Anyone knows how to configure wpa_supplicant.conf for ad hoc mode using wpa/wpa2 encryption...
Is wpa_supplicant will work wpa/wpa2 encryption??
I tried many ways but i am not able to configure for adhoc mode in wpa_supplicant using wpa/wpa2

Thanks..

Hi Rubberman,

I'm trying to get WPA in ad-hoc mode working. Obviously I'm faling,
i m using wpa_supplicant 0.6.x version and i compiled the source code and running wpa_supplicant on linux machine and wpa_cli on windows vista..

I am trying to configure wpa with tkip encryption and wpa2 with aes...

The problem is that when i configure the wpa_supplicant.conf for wpa its not giving any error after running wpa_supplicant but not able to connet to windows laptop..The laptop drivers are latest one and uses Dell wirless 1390 wlan mini-card

But wep40 & wep 104 are working fine for me...

Can anyone help me out how to configure wpa_supplicant.conf for wpa/wpa2 in adhoc mode...
Does wpa/wpa2 work in adhoc mode?????

If it works what configuration file i need to use for that..

My configuration file is as below...

WPA with TKIP configuration:-

ctrl_interface=udp
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="test wpa"
mode=1
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
proto=WPA
pairwise=NONE
group=TKIP
psk="abcde12345678"
}


WPA2 with CCMP configuration:-

ctrl_interface=udp
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="test wpa"
mode=1
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
proto=RSN
pairwise=NONE
group=CCMP
psk="abcde12345678"
}


Does this configuration works for wpa & wpa2 in adhoc mode...

Thank you...

What distribution+version+kernel are you running?

What distribution+version+kernel are you running?

I am using wpa_supplicant of version 0.6.x and using fedora with kernel version 2.6.19.2 and i am using wpa_supplicant on linux machine and wpa_cli on windows xp machine...
Also i can also connect using wep64 & wep128 in adhoc mode. But can i use wap-psk & wap2-psk in adhoc mode?

I would think so, but I've always used WEP for ad-hoc purposes myself. Which version of Fedora are you running? The network manager UI should indicate whether or not you can use WPA in ad-hoc mode. Ditto for Windows.
