Another wireless problem.

[bluegroper]

Hi Forum
Newbie here.
I'm trying to get wireless working in F10.
Using pci wireless card with Atheros chipset.
To be sure, I tested this hardware with a PCLinuxOS Live CD. Connects to AP perfectly.
Hardware drivers seem all OK in F10, and ifconfig shows wlan0 as expected.
When I use the Wireless-Assistant 0.5.7 there's no connection.
Actually, the AP logs show numerous connections and disconnections.
Preferring CLI, I'm using a drop-dead simple wpa_supplicant.conf as follows :

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="wireless-somethings"
scan_ssid=1
psk="the-secret-passphrase"
}

Any clues for how to get this moving ?
Should Ipost some debugging output from
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -d

Many TIA's

Seems I can get establish a wireless connection IF encryption is disabled in the AP.
Of course, can only do that for short-term testing.
Yes, I've thrice checked the passkey.
:confused:

Try specifying the type of encryption in the file.
An example from my Realtek RTL8187B driver ReadMe.txt file:

network={

ssid="BufAG54_Ch6"

proto=WPA

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

pairwise=CCMP TKIP

group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40

psk="87654321"

priority=2

}

Note: 1. proto=WPA for WPA, proto=RSN for WPA2.
