[Voyage-linux] Connecting to an AP with Atheros card and WPA2

[Jakub Velimsky]

Hi,

this is a beginner's question, so please be patient with me. I am using 
Voyage linux 0.6.5 on an Alix.3 board with an Atheros card. I'd like to 
simply connect to my home AP (an Asus wireles router) with WPA2. Here 
follows some relevant info:

lspci -v:
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5413 802.11abg NIC ()
         Subsystem: Wistron NeWeb Corp. DCMA-82 High Power WLAN 802.11a/b/g mini)
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 96, IRQ 9
         Memory at e0040000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
         Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
         Kernel driver in use: ath_pci
         Kernel modules: ath5k, ath_pci

/etc/network/interfaces:
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
         madwifi-base wifi0
         wireless-mode managed
         wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
         ssid="my_AP_ssid"
         psk=my_key_generated_by_wpa_passphrase
         proto=RSN
         key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
         pairwise=CCMP TKIP
         group=CCMP TKIP
}

lsmod | grep ath:
ath_rate_minstrel      11812  1
ath_pci               185244  0
wlan                  184544  4 wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_minstrel,ath_pci
ath_hal               320500  3 ath_rate_minstrel,ath_pci

I am getting only repeated message on the serial console and in 
/var/log/messages:
ath0: unknown SIOCSIWAUTH flag 12
and no connection to the AP. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help,

Jakub
