Here is my config:

i have: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
I use current drivers: ipw3945-1.2.2
Under windows it works fine.

What's wrong ? Is it possible that this drivers does not support simple
WPA/TKIP with PSK ?
has anybody launched WPA using this card on linux ?

Thanx

The ipw3945 driver works fine with the Intel 3945 wireless card.
The problem is not the driver. The problem is your setup.
(Note that publishing your passphrase on the net makes it pretty useless.)

a) First set up your modem/wireless router not to use any authentication.
Connect with no authentication to make sure everything is working and that
there is not some stupid mistake, such as using the wrong ssid (your ssid
looks weird)

hello, i've tested it without authentication
and with WEP authentication. It works fine.

But it does not work with WPA.
I tested the same computer from windows system and it uses WPA without
problem.

Is it possible that linux drivers does not support WPA ?

Most Linux drivers do indeed support WPA. AFAIK, ipw3945 does.

In wpa_supplicant.conf, you need to list the passphrase, not the hex code.

This (passphrase in ASCII) was my 1st thought too, but the man page
says:

psk WPA preshared key used in WPA-PSK mode. The key is specified as
64 hex digits or as an 8-63 character ASCII passphrase. ASCII
passphrases are converted to a 256-bit key using the network
SSID.

I have it in my wpa_supplicant.conf as psk="blablabla" and it
works fine for me (but mine is PRO/Wireless 2200BG in FreeBSD 6.2)

I have only use the passphrase, but I would expect that one would need to prefix the hex key with a
0x if you wanted to use it. At least, there needs to be some indication that you are using the hex,
and not an ASCII phrase.

Without looking into the source of /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant, it
could be differentiate a hex key from ASCII as well from the fact
that a hex key must consist of exactly 64 hex digits, while an ASCII
passphrase is limited to 63 and allows any ASCII char.
I never used hex keys until now.
