WPA and WPA-2 client for io-net for Broadcomm wifi chips

I know that io-net drivers for the BCM43xx have support for WPA, but where is the wpa client? wpa-2?

Unfortunately, this is needed for io-net for the time being, at least until io-pkt is officially released.

Thanks,

Rich

RE: WPA and WPA-2 client for io-net for Broadcomm wifi chips

Hi Rich:

	Unfortunately, there is no support for WPA / WPA2 in io-net. It's
WEP only exactly for the reason that there is no io-net WPA supplicant.

	Robert.

Robert -

The QNX 6.3.2 release notes indicate WPA is supported with Broadcom - is this an error?

The Broadcom driver has a built-in WPA supplicant.

I stand (well... sit) corrected.  That's what I get for not double checking
first :>.  

	Thanks Hugh,

Re: RE: RE: WPA and WPA-2 client for io-net for Broadcomm wifi chips

How can I configure the builtin WPA supplicant?  I don't see it referenced in the devn docs.

<http://www.qnx.org/developers/docs/6.3.2/neutrino/utilities/d/devn-bcm43xx.so.html>;

All the parameters for the WPA supplicant are passed on the command line.
What exactly do you want to configure?

Re: RE: RE: RE: WPA and WPA-2 client for io-net for Broadcomm wifi ch ips

1. the driver needs to be configured and compiled with WPA turned on;

2. I think QNX has ported the BCM wireless interface wlu and can be accessed by running bcm_wlu from command line; (by 
running it without any parameters, you got the help menu);

Re: RE: RE: RE: WPA and WPA-2 client for io-net for Broadcomm wifi ch

Rich Moore started this thread on my behalf - let me restate what I'm trying to do and maybe that will clear things up.

We are using QNX 6.3.2 with io-net (not io-pkt).  We want to use a Broadcomm WiFi card. WPA is required for the customer
 application.

So, my questions are:

Is WPA compiled into the devn-bcm43xx binary distributed with QNX 6.3.2?

If so, where can I find documentation on how to turn on WPA and config it?

Yes, the driver is compiled with WPA. If you do a 'use
/lib/dll/devn-bcm43xx.so', it will give you the necessary information to
configure WPA.

Just out of curious -- does the BCM driver wpa support WPA enterprise mode? 

As far as I know it only support up to PSK mode...
