I have to abort the ping, which transmit but not receive, why ?
Note that PCMCIA ZyAIR B-100 was probably in old time connected to an ZyXel AP which is no more the case. I would like to use with my Swisscom VDSL internet router.
Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, colip.

Hi colip,
Looks like wpa_cli gets into interactive mode to ask you about some missing options: man wpa_cli:
wpa_cli provides a user interface to request authentication information, like username and password, if these are not included in the configuration.
Strange things are:
[*]From your "[c]iwconfig[/c]" output:
[c]Encryption key:off[/c]
[*]From your "[c]/etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]" output:
[c]Starting wpa_supplicant for WPA/WPA2-PSK...[/c]
So, your access point is opened or WPA-secured?
If you use open AP, then wpa_supplicant should never be run, and then in turn, wpa_cli also should not run asking you unsuitable questions.
Do you filled [c]WIFI_ESSID[/c] and [c]WIFI_KEY_TYPE[/c] (and [c]WIFI_KEY[/c] if needed) in your [c]/etc/network.conf[/c] file? Please, post here the full content of your [c]/etc/network.conf[/c] (swap your passwords here with *** if any).

@ Aleksej
The iwconfig "Encryption key:off" output is correct.
afaik, and someone might correct me, iwconfig only shows the key if one uses WEP encryption.
WPA/2 encryption / connection is handled by the wpa_supplicant so iwconfig will always show "Encryption key:off"

Seems you're right.

Now I use [c]wifi-box[/c]. Yes, it's weird that it closes and not re-appears again when you press "Start Wi-Fi" and "Stop Wi-Fi" buttons. But it's a minor bug. It works for me, and I can select my other non-hidden WPA2-secured AP using [c]wifi-box[/c].
You can show errors if you run [c]wifi-box[/c] after you shut down your network pressing "Stop Wi-Fi" previously:
[c]ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down[/c]
But when you press "Start Wi-Fi" in the [c]wifi-box[/c] you'll get the Wi-Fi AP list just after the pair of seconds. Double-click the line with AP name, enter password et voila!
________
So it works for me. I apologize it not works for you. But I can't help you if you will not make a step forth. Any bug details, logs, console output, your AP settings?

Using [c]# slitaz-config[/c] -> wifi-setup
I can't connect to WEP-secured test AP.
I connected to my hidden AP "Neo" that is WPA2-secured.

That Minor Bug exists, since i use wifibox .....

@everybody
PCMCIA ZyAIR 802.11b still not work with Slitaz harddisk but it does on XP harddisk with WPA and dynamic WEP authentication.
On Slitaz, the notebook can establish a connection (OSI layer 3) to the AP, but it seems that the authorization (WEP) fails, hence no TCP/IP connection is provided. See above first mojo's post.
According to /etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf I tried :
1) to set eapol_version=0 in /etc/wpa/wpa.conf and
2) to set WIFI_EAP_METHOD="PWD" in /etc/network.conf, without success.
I did want to try some example configuration shown at the end of /etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf but it seems that /etc/wpa/wpa.conf is overwritted by /etc/init.d/network.sh.
Thanks in advance for your help.
