Hi!

I have an USB wifi adaptor that lsub tells me about it:
* Bus 004 Device 003: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp.

I'm using drivers from serialmonkey and I can see networks and connect
to them if they're opened or they're using WEP but I can't connect to a
network using WPA.

That's what I have in my wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
ssid="wifinet"
proto=WPA
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
#psk="passwd"
psk=a9f6f935e9c5a5712e74e53c72ee15ea8fd968d6d5e2b6 b8432707e15bff82b3
}

It took some time to me to connect to a WEP network because a I have no
support for it into the kernel (IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption (802.1x)) so
maybe I'm forgetting something I need for the WPA ones. I have into the
kernel "IEEE 802.11i TKIP encryption" support and I had "IEEE 802.11i
CCMP support" at the same time, but I removed it just in case it could
cause some kind of issue having the TKIP support.

The wpa_supplicant command gives to me:

Until I stop it with CTRL+C.

I had this working few days ago, but I can't remember what I changed
that made it stop working.

I'm sorry about the huge log.

I'm using the cvs version for the rt73 drivers and the 2.6.23.14 kernel
version in a Gentoo version updated last week.

Any idea about what did I change or am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Bye!
