[ts-7000] TS7800 WPA Using IOgear GWU523 association problem

["mohammad.jouni" <>]

I am attempting to associate to an Access point with WPA AES encryption
using a TS7800 and IOgear's GWU523 .

I used the following steps to attempt the association :

1- modified /etc/network/interfaces to include the following :

iface eth1 inet dhcp
    address 192.168.1.47
    netmask 255.255.0.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    wpa-ssid SSID
    wpa-key-mgmgt WPA-PSK
    wpa-psk passphrease
    wpa-proto WPA
    wpa-driver wext

2- encoded the pass phrase using wpa_passphrase and added the data to
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

          ssid="SSID"
          proto=WPA
          pairwise=CCMP TKIP
          group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
          key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
          #psk="somepassword"     
psk=987987as9d87a97sd9a7sd97a9sd79a8s7d89a7sd98a7ds897a98d7a89d798as

3- Issued the following command : wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext

this was the result :

Trying to associate with XX:XX::XX:XX:XX (SSID='SSID' freq=2442 MHz)
ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Invalid argument
Association request to the driver failed
Authentication with XX:XX::XX:XX:XX timed out.
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS

4- enabling debugging shows the following :

State: DISCONNECTED -> ASSOCIATING
wpa_driver_wext_set_operstate: operstate 0->0 (DORMANT)
WEXT: Operstate: linkmode=-1, operstate=5
wpa_driver_wext_associate
wpa_driver_wext_set_psk
ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Invalid argument
Association request to the driver failed
Setting authentication timeout: 5 sec 0 usec
EAPOL: External notification - EAP success=0
EAPOL: External notification - EAP fail=0
EAPOL: External notification - portControl=Auto
RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0 ifi_flags=0x1003 ([UP])

Any idea why the association is not being completed ?

Thanks you .
