airman_dopey Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I know this is simple but I cannot seem to find the answer anywhere. I'm trying to connect to a WPA2 network via command line on the pineapple. I have done this countless times in Backtrack but for some reason when I try it on the pineapple I keep getting the following error: Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:1e:58:f2:69:73 (SSID='Ours' freq=2462 MHz) wlan0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:1e:58:f2:69:73 (SSID='Ours' freq=2462 MHz) wlan0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:1e:58:f2:69:73 (SSID='Ours' freq=2462 MHz) wlan0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:1e:58:f2:69:73 (SSID='Ours' freq=2462 MHz) wlan0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:1e:58:f2:69:73 (SSID='Ours' freq=2462 MHz) wlan0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:1e:58:f2:69:73 (SSID='Ours' freq=2462 MHz) wlan0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:1e:58:f2:69:73 (SSID='Ours' freq=2462 MHz) wlan0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed The code that I am using is this: wpa_supplicant -B -D nl80211 -i wlan0 -c /tmp/wpa_config.txt -f /tmp/wpa_debug.txt with the config file looking like this: network={ ssid="Ours" psk="Password" } I have tried using the driver "wext" which worked using the Alfa card 036H on Backtrack, but on the pineapple it does not work. I have searched the forums for "wpa_supplicant" and "Pineapple WPA" and gone through everything that came up and cannot find the problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. BTW I also downloaded the networkmanager infusion to see if I could find how it was done in there but I am not proficient in PHP so finding it was a fruitless effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Is the AP using Enterprise for this WPA2 SSID? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerCPU Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I had this exact same problem.To fix this just go to the etc/config/wireless file and change the "option network lan" under "config wifi-iface" to "option network wan". Also make sure your wireless card is in managed mode not AP mode. For more information on setting this up check this out.
