Hy there, I am having problem in connecting my raspberry pi to a wifi dongle. I have followed a lot of tutorials from internet but no success so far.
My WIFI dongle can scan the networks but it’s not connecting to any network.Here is what my configuration file looks like
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
country=GB
update_config=1
network={
ssid="noname"
#psk="zong4gisbest"
psk=ead5b0b7e82e1a68f01e9a17a2a7719ec24575c89bb5b5805e4ae49c80daa983 }
Here are the results of my commands on Raspbian
iwconfig
wlan0 unassociated Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Sensitivity:0/0
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Answer
Edit your wpa_supplicant.conf , change the following lines:
network={
ssid "noname"
psk"zong4gisbest"
to:
network={
ssid="noname"
#psk="zong4gisbest"
psk=ead5b0b7e82e1a68f01e9a17a2a7719ec24575c89bb5b5805e4ae49c80daa983
}
save then run
wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -D wext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B dhclient wlan0
The error:
nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands
mean that the standard nl80211 doesn’t support your device , you should use the old driver wext.
To correctly set up your wpa_supplicant.conf , it is better to use the wpa_passphrase command:
wpa_passphrase YOUR-SSID YOUR-PASSWORD >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
To automatically connect to your AP after restart edit the wlan0 interface on your /etc/network/interfaces as follow:
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
