Passphrase issues:
I have noticed that with wireless sometimes it works better to use the password hash in the wpa_supplicant.conf instead of the ascii text. You can use the wpa_passphrase utility (I don't know if this is included in the GTA02 or not as I don't have one) to generate the hash for the passphrase.
techiem2@escape-pod ~ $ wpa_passphrase MYWIFI "my passphrase" network={ ssid="MYWIFI" #psk="my passphrase" psk=a4c08e767704a66d3fb27d4bf072e2da279f76adc568722b9a6f97964b982620 }
Of course you would probably want to redirect output to the end of your wpa_supplicant.conf (wpa_passphrase MYWIFI "my passphrase">>/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf).

wpa_supplicant tips
These tips are universally valid on 2007.2, ASU, qtopia, and most likely FSO.
Weird ioctl messages
Ignore them, they seemingly have no effect. eg:
"ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported"
wpa_supplicant times out
eg:
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS Trying to associate with 00:1d:5a:e8:00:00 (SSID='2WIRE915' freq=2432 MHz) Authentication with 00:1d:5a:e8:00:00 timed out.
What you need to do is re-specify the essid manually:
iwconfig eth0 essid "2WIRE915"
And it will then immediately connect and authorise with WPA/TKIP.
default route issues
Due to the way the FR configures its usb0 interface, it creates a default route. You will need to delete this in order to use wifi (or gprs/bluetooth-pan, I imagine):
route del default gw 192.168.0.200
Hope this helps others. Ieatlint 22:53, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
