I'm stuck trying to get the USB Wifi dongle to work with the TS-7800. TS claims this should be a straightforward debian configuration, but I'm not so sure.

I was following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo, which seem pretty vanilla. I first did:
# iwconfig
which produced:
eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions. eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"" Nickname:"zd1211" Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid Encryption key:off Link Quality:0/100 Signal level:-144 dBm Noise level:0 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
That seemed helpful, as it seems to know about the dongle and it's calling it eth1. I then did:
# wpa_passphrase my_ssid my_passwd
which generated:
network={ ssid="my_ssid" #psk="my_passwd" psk=...long number... }
So I added to the bottom of /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={ ssid="my_ssid" #psk="my_passwd" psk=...long number... key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA }
But if I do:

wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -w

I get a bunch of lines that look like:

Trying to associate with {MAC address here} (SSID='my_ssid' freq=0 MHz) Associated with {MAC address here} ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument WPA: Failed to set PTK to the driver. CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys

It looks like ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument may be the culprit, but when I tried Googling that in various incarnations, I got nowhere .

Can anyone help?

Many TIA,
Craig
