Cannot connect using WPA/WPA2 Personal
Hi,
I'm trying to use an rtl8188eu based wifi dongle with my old 32bit linuxcnc machine (debian wheezy based, 3.4.9-rtai kernel). The driver compiled, installed and gets loaded just fine but no matter what I try I cannot get the machine to authenticate with my router using WPA/WPA2 Personal security mode. If I turn off wireless security it will connect but obviously this is not desirable.
Some info of my system:
syslog indicates some kind of timeout during authentication:
