I'd appreciate any help.
Besides the other comments, I'd suggest running wpa_cli and it should. print messages about what the supplicant is doing. Also, the commands "status" and "scan_results" are useful IIRC (as is "help").
If I run wpa_cli, it produces the following :-
<2>WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect
<2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>Associated with 00:0f:3d:34:d6:f6
and then repeats the above lines.
But the passphrase I'm using is the same one I'm using on my wife's laptop, plus her and my phones. So I know it's good.
Did you say "passphrase" ? This is the term for a "something to make the key". What you need to do it to put in the HEX or ASCII into the key fields. One manufactures "passphrase" makes different HEX to another. You do not have the manufactures software ( on Linux HAHAHAHH! ) then you will not be able to create the HEX needed.
What you need to do is to enter the keys in HEX. Can I suggest trying all ones to get it working ? Then I use the calculator to make some numbers and use these with a bit of "keyboard bashing" to create my key.
I thought I'd bought one that was known to work but it seems that Netgear have more than one version of it sadly.
Just when they are setup correctly :)
