Intel 2915 abg Wireless and WPA2 with Genmac

(1/4) > >>

Holger Schuett:
Hi,
is it possible to use the Intel 2915 wireless device with genmac and WPA2/PSK?
I do know it works under windows and linux with wpa2/psk but I am not able to connect to a network with OS2/ECS when the network is secured with WPA2

Thanks for any information

Holger

Hi Holger.

Just a little background question. Is the adapter working fine with GenMac / GenMU ? Does it loads ok with eComStation (no error shown) and turn on the Wifi lights?
I ask that because GenMU seems to have it on the "unsupported" running device.  (Intel 2915abg Wlan [8086:4224])

Hi Martin
thank you for the reply.
Yes, the adapter works fine with genmac, out of the box when installing ecs 2.1.
The only problem is wpa2. I can connect to my wlan when setting the encrpytion to wpa.
I had posted earlier concerning this problems on my r52 and am x61, but until now I was not able to solve the problem on the r52, so I was wondering if perhaps the 2915 does not work with genmac regarding wpa2 encryption.

Hi Holger,

eComStation 2.1 is quite outdated, and the Wi-Fi stuff included with it is outdated either.

Please obtain a newer version of XWLan widget here and install it over your system's one.
For installation instructions please refer to the included documentation.

Please obtain also a newer build of WPA Supplicant here and install it over your system's one.
For installation instructions please refer to the included documentation.

After you've completed the above steps, please reboot your system and retry to connect to your WPA2 secured wireless network.

If you still encounter troubles connecting to a WPA2 secured wireless network, you may try replacing your wireless access point or operating system.

Regards,
dbanet.
