Intel 2915 abg Wireless and WPA2 with Genmac
Andi B.:
The latest WPA supplicant compiled by Paul (the one which is tested with XWLAN) is included in xwlan3.12betaX. The same with older versions of xwlan - AFAIK they all include the supplicant. No need to extra download.
BUT be aware, starting with 3.12 ICS dhclient is used. Run 'yum install dhclient' if you want to use xwlan with DHCP and check the settings pages especially TCP/IP page 2 and WPA page.
Neil Waldhauer:
I've got an x60 with a 3945, and it does WPA2-PSK just fine. The router is set to WPA2-PSK (AES). The 4965 works for sure. I have also tested with Intel 5100 and a GenMU driver, and that works also, but at a higher speed. I don't remember testing a 2915 with WPA2.
Andi B.:
Just tested my R52 and it could not connect with WPA2 too. WPA works. With WPA2 wpa_supplicant says 'Could not get SSID from driver'. No clue if this is the problem or what else goes wrong. The same with my T42p.
After setting Access Point 'Cypher Type' from 'Auto TKIP/AES' to 'AES' now it works with the T42p (Intel 2200). But NOT with the R52.

eComStation 2.1 is quite outdated, and the Wi-Fi stuff included with it is outdated either.

I know that 2.1 is outdated, but I have tried all alternatives you mentioned (wpa-supllicant etc)and the result remains the same. I tried with the 2.2 Beta, and I even tried the GUI included with the build of P. Smedley. This is what worked on my X 61 finally. I tried with the Genmu which list the Intel 2915 too, result was the same,

Yes, this is the same message I see when trying to connect

So I think the X61 should work with xwlan3.12(beta) too. Did you try it?
Did you by any chance search 'gmane.org.netlabs.genmac.user' list if this was discussed earlier?
