wpa_supplicant Association Failed

Question

I would like to connect my linux board to an access point (i.e mobile phone) by using wpa_supplicant.

My mobile phone ap is configured with WPA (AES) security.

I modified the wpa_supplicant.conf as follow :

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
        ssid="HTC"
        psk="mypasswd"
        scan_ssid=1
        proto=WPA2
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP
        priority=5
}

I set to up the mlan0 and launch wpa_supplicant as follow

root@root:~# wpa_supplicant -i mlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
root@root:~# rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device
[ 2113.867283] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): mlan0: link is not ready

mlan0: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT status_code=1
[ 2117.073403] wlan: mlan0 START SCAN

... 

But connection is never established.

try to give static IP to your board on the same subnet as your phone having.
