Michal,

I had run into this with WiFly. I made a local copy and added WPA2_PSK option to the driver .cpp and .h files and it worked out fine. The changes are minor. It would be nice to have this change on the official driver.

Regards,

...kevin

Thanks Kevin. I will see if I can make the changes myself...

Which "driver.cpp and .h" files are you referring to? In the file wifly.cpp, I found this code here where it sets the type of security.

key step if (state.sec != NONE) { if (state.sec == WPA) sprintf(cmd, "set w p %s\r", phrase); else if (state.sec == WEP_128) sprintf(cmd, "set w k %s\r", phrase);

if (!sendCommand(cmd, "AOK")) continue; }

What is the variable for WPA2-Persona? In the documentation, it only says that the AT command is EE and the parameter is 2 and only gives "AT" commands, not "set" as in this case.

Hi Terry,

David Smart now has a forked version of WiflyInterface that has the WPA2 authentication mode in it (along with many other enhancements). WPA2 was a pretty tivial addition to made actually. The mode is WPA2_PSK. Download David's driver and you should be all set.

Thanks for your help. I found it in the code but didn't know what the parameter value is.
