I can not associate with an open AP using wpa_supplicant (0.3.8) and ipw2200-1.0.2 (also tried ipw2200-1.0.3-pre7). My wpa_supplicant.conf is as follows: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel ap_scan=1 network={ ssid="Wireless" bssid=00:30:ab:0c:38:25 key_mgmt=NONE priority=1 } I can associate with the same open AP using wpa_supplicant-0.3.8 and my IPW2100 and the ipw2100-1.1.0 driver.

Can you capture the driver log at 0x43fff during the time in which the wpa_supplicant is being run? I want to see what the driver is being configured with from wpa_supplicant. Thanks, James
Created an attachment (id=337) [details] dmesg output with ipw2200 debug=0x43fff wpa_supplicant.conf entry: network={ ssid="carvit" bssid=00:0c:41:3a:55:6f key_mgmt=NONE priority=2 } The log shows that: ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'carvit (00:0c:41:3a:55:6f)' excluded because of privacy mismatch: on != off. Although 'iwlist eth1 scan' output clearly shows that Encryption key:off.
This is with ipw2200-1.0.3, btw.
Looks like privacy is turned on by wpa_supplicant for some reason: ipw2200: U ipw_debug_config PRIVACY on
Created an attachment (id=340) [details] Adds support for open and WEP based APs with wpa_supplicant This patch fixes support for open and WEP enabled networks using wpa_supplicant without TKIP or CCMP.
AFAICR ipw2200-1.0.2 already supported WEP APs with wpa_supplicant, and i'm sure 1.0.3 already supports WEP APs with wpa_supplicant since i'm using it right now.
WEP != Open
Brix: thus my comment about comment #6 from James: "This patch fixes support for open and WEP enabled networks using wpa_supplicant". 1.0.2 already supported WEP with wpa_supplicant. So i guess what he meant was this patch fixed association with open APs and wpa_supplicant.
Alrighty; I've merged in for 1.0.4 and will set as 'fixed' (in the CHANGES I'm just referenging it fixing 'open' APs since as Pedro points out, WEP APs worked before)
Verified, thanks.
