Hi

I am working on beaglebone black trying to integrate TP link TL-WN721N Wifi dongle which uses atheros driver.

I am using linux 3.2 kernel with ti-sitara rootfs

The problem is when is type the command

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

it shows Successfully initialised wpa_supplicant

but it gets stuck there and i have to give ctrl+c to exit from that ,after that i gave

ifup wlan0

the response was

Sending discover…

Sending discover…

Sending discover…

No lease, failing

after this I repeated the step for wpa_supplicant this time also it gets stuck and when I gave ifup wlan0

this time it got the correct IP and was able to ping…

This cycles was seemed to repeat when I tried connecting any-other wifi networks (ie: wpa_supplicant gets stuck two times and on the second attempt of ifup wlan0 only i will be able to get IP)

here is my /etc/wpa_supplicat.conf file

network={

ssid=“UTStarcom”

#psk=“123force”

psk=44d83e5c96bd39f47b54625d80b80c79d5b14430d424fdf6636365901b01ab14

}

and my /etc/network/interfaces

The loopback interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

Wired or wireless interfaces

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.2.30

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.2.1

allow-hotplug wlan0

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wpa-driver wext

wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Please help me out of this issue

Regards

HPCR
