Ubuntu

Wifi driver not working.

Asked by Florian Jensen on 2007-01-13

 I had configured wpa_supplicant before but when i refreshed my laptop completely from the scratch it is posing some problems.

 When i try to execute wpa_supplicant -B -Dmadwifi -ath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -w

 Trying to associate with 00:04:0e:54:28:11 (SSID="Ubuntu")
 Association request to the driver failed
 Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out

 And when i run wpa_cli

 Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying

 Any idea as what is happening and fixes for it?

Just wanted to add ... the card is:
02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

Might not be the cause, but I was unable to connect to my access point when I was hiding the SSID. As soon as I stopped hiding it I was able to connect fine.

Well I tried to do it also with an non-hidden SSID
