WPA/WPA2 no longer works on ASUS WL500GP

Description

When updating a local network to FreeWRT 1.0 svn 2349, the WPA configuration no longer worked.

I tried all permutations of the configuration, but could not get it to work, the only solution was to install all the broadcom/wl/nas related prebuilt packages from the web image builder, after which it worked apparently without problems.

So it seems that something broke between the WiB and the current svn.

To be more precise:

On FreeWRT 1.0 svn 2351 I have to install

broadcom-wl-util_0.1-2_mipsel.ipk (force downgrade)

to make WPA work.

  • owner changed from somebody to wbx.
  • status changed from new to assigned.

Is it possible that you forget to update your /etc/network/interfaces with the new option: wireless-bridge-if br0

1.0.3 has some fixed network configuration scripts, if you update from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 you might need to recreate some stuff in /etc. 1.0.3 is not released yet, a better explanation how to update to 1.0.3 will follow as soon as it released. So far it is recommended to use 1.0.2 or to start with a fresh fwcf partition.

Yes, that is entirely possible.

I was following my "usual" path by building from a checkout of

$ svn co svn://www.freewrt.org/branches/freewrt_1_0

(as recommended by the front page) and missed that there was a new option for this.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, you are right. I need to update the page and be more clear about the different versions.

  • status changed from assigned to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

webpage is now updated. After the release of FreeWRT 1.0.3 we will keep the handbook and the latest release in sync.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

bye

Waldemar
