Setting up wifi+WPA on F9 with RT2500 card

[martin78]

Hello, please help.
I am having a problem to set up a wifi connection with WPA on Fedora 9.
I use card with Ralink RT2500 chip.
The card seems to work, but the WPA doesn't
The wpa_supplicant doesn't seem to work.
There is this error message after I try to run the wpa_gui:

Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
Failed to open control connection to wpa_supplicant.
PING failed - trying to reconnect

This is my wpa_supplicant.conf file:

# allow frontend (e.g., wpa_cli) to be used by all users in ’wheel’ group
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
#
# allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="wifi"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="kli1997kli1997"
}


Is there way to make wpa work without the wpa supplicant? I have booted to fedora core 8 live cd (on a different pc) and it worked out of the box. I just entered pre shared key.
This is not the case on fedora 9 installed on hard drive.

Thank you for help.

i can't get my rt2500 to work even without encryption - it did work with one of the earlier kernels.
