I successfully installed the version of wpasupplicant from testing, and rebooted the system. Unfortunately I see no difference in the linking problem -- it still hangs at the same point. In this attempt, you can see that it also found the neighbor's unencrypted router "Tnet":

When I first rebooted, I got an anomaly that I thought I should report:
Code:
root@ambucsbox:/home/guest# ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
root@ambucsbox:/home/guest# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wlan5 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
root@ambucsbox:/home/guest# ifconfig wlan5 up
root@ambucsbox:/home/guest# iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

Upon getting that, I pulled the Belkin device and then plugged it into a different USB connector, and it was promptly set up as wlan0, and worked as shown above. So I don't know what happened on the USB bus at the reboot. |
