Cannot connect using wpa_supplicant

Question

I have set up a usb wifi dongle ( Ralink 148f:7601 ) and now I want to connect with it to my router.

I am using the following commands :

$ wpa_passphrase "SSID" "password"

then copy the psk I get to my config file:

ap_scan=1

network={
  ssid="SSID"
  scan_ssid=1
  proto=WPA2
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  pairwise=CCMP TKIP
  group=CCMP TKIP
  psk=xxxxxxxx84f5ca1f640b21323682d51b7e880318e2da8813a6d4e9c8xxxxxxxx
  priority=5
}

and then wpa_supplicant

$ sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c ~/wpaconfig2 -d 

I get the following log/errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/6955478/

Can someone direct me what am I doing wrong ?

EDIT2

I changed settings on the router to accept both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK and now I have the following;

and now I have the following log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6956230/ passing to the ASSOCIATED phase

Solution

The "EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized" propably means that your Wifi Router disallow you to send any packages towards the Wifi Router. I saw something similar in a EAP/TTLS Wifi setup. There the Router dropped all the packages away because of different key knowledge on both sides (Pairwise Masterkey). It would be helpfull if you could take some traces with Wireshark to check the EAPOL protocol messages. Probably a key exchange between Wifi Router and your wifi dongle fails.

I have updated the answer and if possible I will somehow post the Wireshark pcap file.

[Oliver G.]

Because of the "Disassociation Notification" for me it looks like an issue on the Wifi Router but nevertheless post your wpa_supplicant version with wpa_supplicant -v and re-check the settings on the Wifi Router. Then increase debugging verbosity on wpa_supllicant with wpa_supplicant -dd

[Patryk]

Adding verbosity with -dd doesn't change much (almost anything). Version wpa_supplicant v1.0 Copyright (c) 2003-2012, Jouni Malinen <[email protected]> and contributors. With regards to router I don't know what should I check. I can connect to it with my laptop and it's set as I noted: for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, encryption TKIP.

I suggest you use the far simpler method here: askubuntu.com/questions/421830/…

[Patryk]

@chili555 Eventually I got this to work by reinstalling the drivers with sudo rmmod mt7601Usta; sudo modprobe mt7601Usta and then rebooting the system. I have also managed=false /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
