X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Toxa List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 08:39:27 -0000 Hello folks, I have D-LINK DWL-900AP+ access point, and laptop with prism2-based wireless nic onboard. My AP can be configured to use WEP in 'open mode' (e.g. allowing both encrypted and unencrypted connections) and 'restricted (shared key) mode' (e.g. allowing only encrypted connections). My system is freebsd-current. Acording to ifconfig(8), wireless card can be configured in restricted mode (mepmode on) and open mode (wepmode mixed). The problem is 'wepmode on' works ONLY when AP is in Open mode, but I want to allow only encrypted connections. But then I put my AP into 'shared key' mode, freebsd losts its association with AP. However, wireless nic is capable to work in restricted mode, because in Linux 'iwconfig eth1 key [1] restricted' works fine. I guess it's freebsd wi(4) issue, isn't it?
