can't get WPA-PSK to work

[kmeeker]

I have my wireless link working without encryption, but have been unable to make it work with WPA-PSK. My wpa_supplicant.conf is below. I've tried running debug mode, but don't know how to interpret the result.

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=2
update_config=1

network={
ssid="fleur1"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="passphrase"
}

I don't use wpa_supplicant anymore. I just use the NetworkManager daemon to connect. I don't think that it even uses wpa_supplicant.

Which card do you have and which distro are you using?
Have you tried this command:

wpa_passphrase YOURESSID YOURPASSHRASE

This will generate some code similar to this.

network={
       ssid="2WIRE900"
       #psk="4685001556"
psk=6d1b2c60c2b756f370b26f3dcf035a72d814ea0be10c0ce94bd32636b15303ee

Now you need to copy this to your WPA_supplicant.conf file.
It'd really help to know which distro you are using as not all distros keep their config files in the same place. For example I tried following several HOWTO's only to find out that my machine (Gentoo) keeps all their WPA_supplicant info in /etc/wpa_supplicant/
