Successfully connected FC4 on Dell Inspiron 9300 to Netgear WGR614 using
WPA-PSK.
This may help other people struggling with wireless lan and wpa-psk:
I've downloading the kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm and following the
directions in FC4 Release Notes to re-config & rebuild the original fc
kernel.
I remove the ipw2200 stuff by disabling the "Generic IEEE 802.11
Networking Stack" Option and make & installing the new kernel.
After reboot i'm downloading the ipw2200-1.0.4 driver from
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net and installing it following the INSTALL-
File.
Now loading the new ieee80211_crypt_ccmp, ieee80211_crypt_wep,
ieee80211_crypt_tkip, ieee80211 and AFTER these modules the ipw2200
module (the firmware goes to /lib/firmware/). Configuring and starting
wpa_supplicant and wait some seconds to authenticate via wpa.
"ifup eth1" and STRIKE getting my ip via dhcp.... Wireless Lan via WPA-
PSK works from now. :-)
On demand i can post more infos about wpa_supplicant configuration. Now
i must get the modules loading in the right order during bootup, i
think /etc/modprobe.conf is the right way oder rc.local?
relaxed greetz! ;-)
